We actually get a pretty decent EML plume next week...too bad it can't be utilized. Like 3-4 weeks too early 

What a weird evolution on the GFS late next week

Around the corner from my house. Damage!!!!!!

Looks like peak gust was 48 mph 

Not bad! Estimated 45-50 mph gusts at BDL. Waiting to see what they report

Funnel cloud was seen in Dutchess County per spotter report just before that warning was issued. 

not shocked...that's pretty decent looking (especially given the environment). 

I'm headed to BDL at 3:30...should be there by 3:33 or 3:34. Going to the bowling ally parking lot. I usually go the McDOnalds lot or lot next to it but its a bit blocked off to the right...I think the bowling ally has a clearer view all around

some pretty low CC's in the vicinity of the couplet. not sure if enough for a TDS but a bit interesting. maybe leaves/sticks

not a bad looking couplet

Nice area of rotation in the bow structure southwest of Torrington 

friend in NJ had a temp drop of 20 in one hour

While there could be a few stronger storms, can probably shave ern extent off that box. Western areas for sure have a chance.

pretty shocked to see it as far east as it is

Yeah...usually severe season ends in winter.

severe season never ends around here

Yeah, that stuff moving into northern Hartford County looks pretty decent. 

Just had a pretty decent gust of wind here (Windsor Locks). Looks like bulk of the line passes just north

good sign to see some lightning with this initial activity.

Probably irrelevant, but I didn't expect it to be this breezy. My VP2 gusted to 24mph which is pretty decent given how it is sited. 

Pretty steep llvl lapse rates and strong llvl shear FTW

A few flakes possible tonight?

could see some squalls maybe tomorrow (perhaps moreso NYS, VT, and western MA)

HRRR seems to overdo it at times. 3k NAM not as excited, but I do think a few strong storms into wrn CT/MA/srn VT possible. HRRR has shown a bow into the Berks.

Yeah the HRRR has been pretty consistent with that bowing feature. 

Also want to add something for folks but this is a situation where the strongest winds are going to be on the leading edge of the line. It will still be gusty under the rain but the rain-cooled air will quickly reduce winds. This is for those who "meh" things when under the line

2010 May 5th?

let's do it!

HRRR pretty bullish with a few decent UD swaths...not likely but certainly room for a brief tornado as well today

Beer just makes me sleepy. I can drink one and be out. I can drink 4-5 mixed drinks and I’m fine. Tipsy but not sleepy. 

Beer does that to me now too. I have zero clue how I could drink 10-15+ Miller Lites at one point. I drink 1-2 beers now and I'm fine. One Saturday or Sunday a month I'll go to brunch in either Bethal or Danbury for bottomless mimosas...talk about getting put to sleep. 

I can't believe I get to go storm chasing tomorrow!!!! Only to the airport but it's something. Severe season is here.

Try out Josh cab or pinot noir for red. Rose is also the best summer drink ever if you are man enough to not feel the toxic masculinity inside of you hating yourself for doing it lol 

I'll give it a shot. I prefer white wine over red...one of my friends used to always call me out on it lol (like WTF cares).

Always avoided ipas back in football days because of heavyweight nature of them. So it kept me in the junior bracket of beer. Lighter. 

Now I spend most of my time in wine. Developed a recent love for cava. And when I'm out its been a gin and tonic or tequila soda. Then when the alcohol gets to my head I switch to something light. 

I love Barefoot Pinot Grigio...haven't had it though it a few years. Actually I think the last time I had it was at a New Years Party like 3 years ago when I drank a 1.75mL bottle in 75 minutes...yeah that was a mistake

Those Spiders breaking into the house will get ya. Try sleep meditation.

There are some situations that does scare me from sleeping lol. 

I've always wanted to try meditation though...I would really love that.

I drink nothing but seltzers and Busch light if it's not liquor. Not kidding. Lol

seltzers...where is the puke emoji??????

yeah I leave my phone downstairs at night before heading up for bed....

When I go to bed I usually watch an episode of something on Netflix on my phone (been into Shameless), then I'll listen to a few ASMR videos on YouTube (which really get me to sleep fast) but I have a terrible problem of waking up so often during the middle of the night...and before this can be attributed to phone use or whatever else I've had this issue my entire life (I do have ideas as to why that is). I've always seemed to have my best sleeps when during the hours of like 6-7 AM and early afternoon...that's why at one point I wanted to get a job doing overnights. I think when I was young I was so afraid of people breaking into the house that I was terrified to sleep at night so I would try to force myself not to sleep.
