A 1.5 hr delay is nothing these days. You'd almost have to sign for that going in.

honestly, I think this still might be my fave out of all of them. The original.

Thanks. Interestingly, given that the all time record high min is 80 in threadex, all the likely contenders here (89/90/95/06) got wiped out by fropas during the day. Not coincidence I suppose.

Yeah. That's insane. Ties the all time record from 7/31/1917

Great downpour. May you all get it.

Seriously awful. A rare breeze has kicked up here which has made things slightly more tolerable.

Yeah, Basrah is humid af, in the valley and adjacent to the gulf. Truly an awful climate.

SVR issued for the cell over Quabbin. Nice storm scale rotation evident and probably low end severe hail. I'll probably get clipped on the far southern end but not expecting much of note.

Let's run with it straight through mid April shall we? 3rd year nina

202 in Granby got a brief couplet

Bigtime show (by our standards)

We've seen shredded plenty of times. This is not shredded.

Looks pretty good IMO. TOR tag added to the SVR that just went out.

Headed N to beat the heat and hit up a really beautiful pastoral brewery in Braintree, VT called Bent Hill Brewery. Storms formed around noon and there was a steady breeze at elevation... then we drove east through the forest to Fairlee shortly after the rain had moved out and temps got all the way down to 70 with fog. Felt like the place to be today.

90mph? Wow

seemingingly a fail here. Nice job by the SPC and a heckuva job by Joe D as well. Those storms were rotating quite a bit aloft and several did have an open feed of moisture to work with, but just couldn't quite get it going in the lower levels.

Was due for the 7/10 split here, but some rained cooled outflow would have been nice.

BOX pulled the trigger on the TOR

There's been consistent storm scale rotation up there, but nothing has been able to tighten up very much.

wow... there goes the camera

Mesoscale Discussion 1535 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0107 PM CDT Thu Jul 21 2022 Areas affected...New England Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 479... Valid 211807Z - 212000Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 479 continues. SUMMARY...Wind damage and an isolated tornado threat will continue across the western and central parts of WW 479 this afternoon. The severe threat is expected to move eastward into parts of Maine over the next few hours. DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic imagery shows a cluster of strong to severe storms from northern New York extending eastward and southward across western New England. The strongest storms are located in west-central New England along an axis of moderate instability, with the RAP analyzing MLCAPE in the 2000 to 2500 J/kg. Amid the larger cluster, a well-developed supercell is ongoing in western New Hampshire. The instability combined with 0-6 km shear in the 40 to 50 knot range according to the RAP, will continue to support supercell development. Supercells should be capable of wind damage and perhaps a brief tornado or two. However, the latest HRRR suggests that convective coverage will continue to rapidly increase. This will favor linear development along the instability axis. This line is expected to become increasing organized and move into western Maine within a few hours. The stronger parts of the line are expected to be associated with wind damage. ..Broyles.. 07/21/2022

from NWS chat: (2:02 PM) NWS Boston-Joe Dellicarpini: Starting to see storms form into a line from western MA into western CT. Airmass over this region is looking favorable for storms producing wind damage, although there is a relative min in downdraft CAPE. Also interesting to note that many of the composite indices show some potential for a tornado - however 0-500m SRH is fairly low (<95) and LCLs are above 1000m which are negative factors (and fairly important). Bottom line is we see increasing potential for wind damage with these storms as they head toward central MA and through northern CT in next few hours. If llv helicity were a primary limiting factor that would argue for the channeling effect of the valley to take on more importance. The LCLs could still be problematic especially to produce a strong tornado out of a discrete cell. Once the shift into linear mode occurs I'd expect them to drop but then you're more looking for a QLCS type spinup unless you got a break in the line/embedded supercell.

honestly, I think the tornado probs are a bit underdone if anything.
