Training cells over this area.

Prepare to be underwhelmed

Albany radar velocity. Impressive meso for sure.

JMO but the Brooklyn storm looks like a sweet hail producing supercell with good structure and storm scale rotation, but not necessarily tornadic.

Whatever it takes to get airborne I'm for it. Seriously though there could be a massive wedge heading for you, when they say the cabin door isn't reopening, it isn't reopening.

I know it's not a great pic but this is what I could see

Tornado warnings going off on folks cell phones on the plane New one for me

Sitting on the runway at BDL in a ground stop watching round 2 come in now. Zero chance we were gonna take off and we boarded anyway. But I do have a good view at least. Major CTG

Yeah that was good. But wth was the neighbor doing?

Supports the hail obs

They put the tornado possible tag in the warning... i think it *might* be starting to gust out but who knows.

Feel somewhat honored

Hardwick/Barre cell wrapping up a bit

No but the storm drains on the runway are blowing up like old faithful.

Pounding at BDL

Mesoscale Discussion 1722 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1125 AM CDT Fri Aug 26 2022 Areas affected...far eastern New York into parts of New England Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 261625Z - 261830Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Scattered strong storms will develop after 17Z, moving from eastern New York into parts of New England. A few damaging gusts are most likely, and a weak/brief tornado cannot be ruled out. DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows a low developing over far eastern NY, and just south of an early-day cluster of thunderstorms which stretches into VT. Meanwhile, a diffuse warm front extends eastward toward far southern ME, though mixing may lead to a northward repositioning later today. Heating and advection of mid to upper 60s F dewpoints has led to an uncapped and unstable air mass, with CAPE presently in the 1000-2000 J/kg range. The strongest instability currently exists over southern New England where dewpoints are higher. Further, GPS PWAT sensors show a marked increase in overall moisture values through a deeper layer, approaching 1.50" near coastal CT. Convergence near the developing surface low and trailing surface trough and continued heating will lead to increasing storm coverage throughout the afternoon, progressing eastward. Deep-layer shear averaging near 35 kt, as well as veering winds with height suggest a several storms may be severe, producing a combination of damaging gusts and isolated hail. Steepening low-level lapse rates, and moist boundary layer, and weak SRH values could support a brief/weak tornado with the stronger isolated cells. ..Jewell/Thompson.. 08/26/2022

not sure where you are exactly but that cell will move well north of Springfield. That said basically every new nexrad scan is showing new cells forming. I'm supposed to fly out of BDL at 3, not sure if that's happening.

that was a pretty nice run you had I don't know if there's any real truth to it, but my anecdotal experience with a few people is that the allergic reactions seem to get worse with subsequent stings over time.

a few stray little cells popped out ahead. I doubt much will come of them right now, but as the heating gets stronger and the line encroaches a cell popping out ahead would be worth monitoring.

seems like you practically have to beg bumblebees to sting you, sort of like that the guy in the video above with the Asian hornet. Could there be a less aggressive animal on the planet?

everything is more truculent in eastern mass I guess. Better let em have it

if the wasps/hornets aren't aggressive, just let em be. We have some fearsome looking mf'ers around but they mind their business and we mind ours.

The answer should have been 4/1/97 (in Lexington) but I dozed off briefly and missed 30". Still regret it

not sure if this was in regards to the Rehoboth post, but per Nocera that's just since 7AM today. 2day total 8.25" and not done.

(4:23 PM) nws-frank.nocera: NWS employee just reported 6.89 inches in Rehoboth, MA. Over three inches in the last hour!
