I am a bit shocked it's so far east. I think the greatest overall potential is to our northwest. What kinda sucks for us is timing but there seems to be enough instability left to keep the threat for damaging winds through the I-84 corridor.

Some of these parameters are really nice looking but I'm not a huge fan of the lack of stronger ulvl support...at least enough to make things super interesting.

Been meaning to start this thread since Monday but I was all threaded out. Anyways, severe weather season is starting to get very active around here as we have another threat right around the corner...and this one comes with our first early taste of late spring or early summer as a warm front tickles us and we taste some humidity. Obviously, this early in the season the biggest question is northward warm front progression. It does appear the warm front will at least push into central New England. South of the warm front dewpoints should get into the lower 60's. While not great, mid-level lapse rates will be around 6.5 C/KM. With surface temperatures perhaps pushing into the 70's we should generate enough instability, when combined with ample wind shear to produce the development of t'storms; including the risk for some strong-to-severe t'storms. As usual with this type of setup and time of year, the greatest risk will be away from the marine influence. When considering timing of the fropa or pre-frontal trough the greatest potential will likely be eastern PA, southeast NY, southern VT, and western MA/CT. Strong winds aloft, inverted-V sounding signatures, and linear storm mode indicate main severe hazard will be damaging wind gusts. However, in the vicinity of the warm front there will be enough backing of the llvl winds to yield the risk of rotation and an enhanced risk for hail or a brief tornado.

I forgot to start a thread for Friday but I'll do it later. Looks like there could be some damaging wind gusts but greatest threat may be just west of here.

I was actually wrong about yesterday too...I had thought any frozen would have been more grauple as opposed to hail given the super low freezing levels. Thought I read stuff years ago which mentioned grauple is more likely when WBZ heights get below a certain level. But perhaps this was off-set by the few hundred J of hail CAPE

Well onto Friday now. Thread to come in the morning!!!

This was now

Holy shit this is awesome!!!!! Pea to dimes!!!!!! OMg!!!! Hahaha

MORE PEA HAIL!!!!!! OMG

mostly pea but there were some almost dime sized

Hail round 2 hahahaha

Was standing outside my door for 5-minutes waiting...nothing. Close the door, go back to my room, and boom starts right hail hahahahaha

Hail!!!!!!!!!

That's so awesome!!!

Nice Steve! No hail here And just to think...in 3 weeks I would have been driving out west getting my windshield destroyed by monster hail

it's so dark...holy crap. nice nice rumbles. I better get hail

BIG THUNDER

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Hail in New Britain per my brother...1/2'' too...wow

This is pretty cool!

When sun pokes out ahead of t'storms you know fun stiff is coming!

lightning popping up in SW CT!!!!!!

I'm in my house lol

sun playing peek-a-boo here at BDL

I think about this alot too
