There is a bit of uncertainty regarding the overall potential due to the anticipated timing of the strong cold front, however, the potential exists for multiple fast-moving line segments capable of producing damaging winds and perhaps hail (especially with any splitting supercells). A fairly vigorous shortwave trough amplifies as it approaches New England with a plume of steeper lapse rates moving through aloft and a strengthening mid-level jet on order of 50-60 knots. At the surface we'll see temperatures pushing well into the 80's...perhaps near 90 depending on overall timing of the front with dewpoints well into the 60's to near 70. Combination of heat and humidity with steeper lapse rates should yield a moderately unstable atmosphere...BUT this could be limited with a faster fropa. Should timing of the front slow down we could see some pockets of widespread wind damage. Forecast soundings indicate a textbook inverted-V signature indicating increased potential for damaging winds and long/straight hodographs suggest splitting supercells/hail potential

AHHHHH they dropped to 88

Bic Mac's 62 HR barely made it over the wall but a HR is a HR

I actually am not a huge fan of the mlvl lapse rate output from COD. It always tends to want to bring in steep lapse rates. But...there were times throughout the summer where the look seemed to favor it, but there was one or two key pieces missing. not sure what exactly but you need the airmass to sort of remain homogeneous moving through the upper-Midwest and OV and that hasn't happened. Probably mT air from the Gulf being entrained into the mid-levels.

At this the pattern being projected does favor the potential for some steeper lapse rates to eject our way...very fickle though. You would also think it could favor MCS activity...we are at the climo time of year where that potential (I would wager) is highest. We just have to lock in high theta-e air in the llvls while strong jet energy traverses above...and the way to do that...be atop the crest of the ridge...which looks like we will be.

And BDL up to 89!!! 90 day #36 about to happen. Should tie record Sunday and break Monday and add on Tuesday

Only took until September but yellows and reds a comin'!!!!!!!!!!!! It's like an English Premiere League soccer football (don't want to offend the English) match

maybe we'll see a wave train of tropical activity into the Gulf of Mexico and latent heat pump a ridge across the east through November

yehhhhhhhh

Next week is getting mildly interesting in terms of severe potential. GFS keeps wanting to shoot an EML plume our way atop the ridge.

ME averages about 2 tornadoes per year but I wouldn't be shocked if it's probably much closer to 3. With dual pol now perhaps they can start being detected more but they get some really nasty supercells mid-to-late summer every year it seems.

wouldn't surprise me lol.

When it comes to the time where my girlfriend and I are ready to move in together and we get a place the top 3 things on my list are; 1) A GREAT view to the west/north for t'storm viewing 2) Minimal spider activity...going to get it sprayed heavily 3) Open enough to measure snowfall and set up a weather station

Awesome pool!

hmmm there could be some splitting supercells or transient supercells up in ME tomorrow.

I wish this wasn't so far out in time

I'm seeing higher forecast CAPE values on the GFS moving into September than we've had here all summer

indeed. it's a nice steady rain too

It’s raining and cold

I saw a video yesterday of one of the waterspouts...was pretty sick. Was actually relatively large too

Where's the ketchup?

The Cowboys could be the only team to have every single starter with nobody sitting out and they still would miss the playoffs

I just want one freaking more severe wx event before we get into winter...ONE. In a summer which has been garbage that is not asking for much at all. We've barely had any. Had that one enhanced risk day which was good and fun for NY into central New England (where the enhanced risk belonged...not into freaking into CT...absolutely uncalled for) and had that Sunday warm front setup and a few other minor things but GARBAGE. This is why super hot just sucks for severe...WGAF if you have 5,0000 SBCAPE if there's no trigger or shear. They had better severe in CA Saturday than we've had. That's just wrong

Plenty of MCS potential across northern New England with the upcoming pattern. It just sucks we can break off a piece of EML air and advect it this way...though it tries to happen. I'm also expecting another derecho event in the upper-Midwest/Ohio Valley region

they've had to do that out west...going above guidance by like 5-8F and still coming up several degrees short in some cases
