hmmm increase in lightning out west. might head to BDL. Only a 3 minute drive so why not.

When I woke up during the night (b/c all I do is wake up every couple hours) I checked the radar and I saw the storm passing north of BDL and then the one just south of Hartford...was pretty impressed with the lightning. I was hoping this stuff would have some decent lightning and I'd take a trip to the airport and watch but doesn't look like much. TOns of rain though

severe or bust

If there is a decent amount of lightning I'll make the trip

A trip to BDL may be in the making

On a walk and it’s amazingly hot and humid. All drenched in sweat. This is what summer is about. Everything is dripping but my hair. This is a much better wet than the wet from yesterday

Serious BD or whatever you want to call it potential a good part of next week

At least we'll get some awesome sunsets once that NW flow becomes established aloft over the next few weeks and we transport wildfire smoke. Hopefully we can sneak an EML in or at least get a sfc depiction where we get these very high dews/severe threats

Shear solid...instability pretty good...forcing/lift not so good

There's nothing to really discuss lol. Not much in the way of forcing today. Localized boundaries/orographic effects will contribute to isolated to widely scattered stuff...with exception of southern VT into NH

meh

With real severe wx

Could get pretty active with MCS potential during the second half of the month. Only thing we're missing which could result in some bigger severe threats is an EML. All the stupid EML plumes just get compromised as they move across the upper-Midwest (per the GFS anyways). Might just be missing a bit more of a trough signal at H7 across the PAC NW area

Some of the hi-res stuff pretty aggressive from western to central Mass later on. Some nice backing of the winds too in the llvls.

wat about trout?

does wildfire smoke screw up EML's? I wonder

Also might be one of the tiniest slight risks I've ever seen

My biggest fear. When I am at places watching storms come in (airport, golf course, open field) I am super conscious of the lightning. I usually stay quite close to my car and as soon as I either start seeing an increase in CG's or CG's get a bit closer I get inside the car. I remember one time (don't remember the year maybe like early 2010's) we had a severe thunderstorm move through West Hartford and my brother and I went on a walk to look for damage. We had waited until the storm well quite a distance away. All of a sudden we saw this insanely close CG which looked to hit something and we both freaked and just ran onto someone's porch for cover lol.

True...I did get a 3 star Charmander

TERRIBLE. Went to go on a Poke walk since I hatched an egg walking to the mailbox and I equipped another egg which needs 12km distance to hatch. Well I completed a special research set and the next set popped up...one of the tasks is to hatch 3 eggs...I JUST EQUIPT a 12-km egg...that could take multiple days of walking to complete (especially with this weather). I guess I could by a multiple incubator thing. But as soon as I start my walk...drizzle...then the drizzle became heavier...my hair got wet glasses got wet, phone got wet which made it hard to spin the balls, my shirt got wet, and my pants. Absolutely freaking awful. Then this weekend is going to be trash. THIS IS JULY NOT NOVEMBER

I'm sure we will spit out some good CAPE numbers tomorrow...SBCAPE anyways. Lift to me tomorrow looks pretty subpar and actually even some hints at some subsidence behind the passage of the morning s/w with the warm front lifting north. We will certainly see some sorts tomorrow but aerial coverage should be pretty limited and what does form could certainty produce some localized damaging wind gusts.

I don't use MS Paint anymore. For social media I just use this app called You doodle and write stuff on there with a pen and draw stuff

How did you make such a cute drawing with those nearly perfect arrows and fronts?

at some point this month we'll be dealing with wildfire smoke aloft

No forcing tomorrow, weakening shear, pretty neutral heights...meh
