  1. It would be interesting to know if; 1) the SPC wanted watches but local offices said no 2) Local offices wanted a watch but SPC said no 3) Both sides said no
  2. should add though the threat this time may be slightly north
  3. going to fire up a thread in a little bit but Saturday looks pretty potent if enough CAPE can be generated. In fact, could be more intense than yesterday
  4. I always forget but I am not sure if the distance requirement is the same for the classification of each type (serial, progressive, and hybrid). I think the criteria may be a bit more loose for serial derechos.
  5. Pretty impressive overlap of 3km CAPE/3km lapse rates. Couple that with a LLJ max moving overhead with a vigorous s/w moving through...viola!
  6. Kinda surprised BDL reported 64 mph. Didn’t really seem like it. I guess though there might have been a very brief burst. Have to watch video and see if I can spot it
  7. As mine gets further removed from radar it will “look like” it’s weakening
  8. Damn...70-80 mph only a few thousand feet off the ground. About to get rocked at BDL!!
  9. That is a very healthy looking line. Actually a bit more lightning than I even anticipated but there is quite a bit of llvl CAPE associated with it too
  10. yeah LCL's are super high...but looks like we see a swath of rather high effective SRH move through later on...shear is certainly there. there is enough llvl CAPE to at least peak the idea I think.
  11. HRRR for ORH and BDL...about as strong of a wind signal as you'll see here BDL
  12. Low probability for a tornado across central MA I think too
  13. I think we will have just enough instability, combined with rather cold temperatures aloft to get some lightning with this activity.
  14. yeah that's a pretty significant increase in lightning over the past half hour or so...certainly looks as impressive as previous bursts.
