Isn't it pretty crazy lol. When I was looking at this week Friday I saw the 594+ heights building West from the Atlantic and was expecting maybe we would be looking at a week characterized by temperatures in the 93-97 range...but alas not the case. Just so much going on in the lower atmosphere.
I think the situation would be different though if these 594+ heights were building in from the West or Southwest...then we would probably get the 20-22C+ 850 air in here.
They have like one sentence on it and it says localized damaging wind gusts
I have come across that sounding before!!
That is like something a severe weenie would dream of lol. Storm tops would probably punch well into the mesosphere
I am familiar with the fact they get real nasty severe weather(they get crazy EML's) but I have never really looked into it such as videos, setups, etc. I'll take a look!
Sometimes I'm a little shocked you never hear stories in the news of people getting seriously hurt or even killed by hail (maybe there are but I just never come across them). But winds that strong blowing those hail stones...can't even imagine. Ive been pelted with 1'' hail before and that hurts
crazy how quickly things dry too...a hour or two after it stopped raining...roads and parking lots dry. You could look outside now and wouldn't even know it rained.
completely agreed...when you start seeing glaring signals and those signals remain consistent it kinda starts to open eyes. You look at SST's off the coast (and correlate that to SSTA's) and things are beginning to cook.
I've been thinking about that quite a bit...especially considering how strong the Bermuda high has been off the coast and also its proximity to the U.S. Given here there is really no signs of the strong ridging in the West breaking these reloading troughs in the Great Lakes will continue
Gotta say...this was pretty damn well forecast. Obviously the exact details had to be ironed out as we got closer but I remember last Friday the look on the models gave pretty good confidence we were going to be impacted.
