October 2018... tornado on the cape, snow in C Mass. Also, Feb 2017, with a tornado out this way in the valley.

tornado watch coming

18z special sounding was launched at ALY

I presume it'll clear out completely in a bit, but some differential heating might not be a bad thing given that the trigger has been in question for this afternoon.

3km nammy does a pretty good job of suppressing action out ahead of the front as Wiz mentioned for lack of a trigger. Weak height rises during the course of the entire day. Granted it does get fairly unstable.

Don't get your hopes up too high LOL welcome

Averaging 18+mph at Boston for a month and a half seems insane.

Yes. This was the spillway last April... Was quite a reversal from the previous summer (2018) when levels were at their lowest since 1966.

The spillway has been ripping pretty good the last few weeks. Can hear it from a good ways across the dam. Not quite as much water coming over as early last April, but certainly a torrent in its own right.

Not sure where you are at but the cell definitely spiked up through Agawam, Forest Park, and E Longmeadow. Maybe also up into Chicopee. Has weakened a bit since. Anyway, congrats.

heavy, heavy snow. Just reopened some wounds that were finally healing. Ugh

FYI... ENX (and normally BOX) data is available in the pulldowns and a little toggling button at the bottom. It's not as nice as radarscope obviously, but handy for reference and in comparison with the local data. Also kind of nice to be able to use with standard google maps functionality underneath.

It won't be great, but you should see stuff tracking toward you fairly well. Use the 2 degree scan because the 1 degree scan is pretty well blocked to the east by the Pelham hills.

We actually have a piece of property lined up in W Swanzey that would work pretty well for EEN/etc... but suffice to say this isn't really the ideal time to be fundraising

Here's the UMass X band link if anyone wants it http://umaxx.casaradar.com

Given that these things were scheduled and not acute failures, a June repair at OKX is a bit questionable. I'd have picked Sept or something. Maybe work on the SE in June.

Yeah. 2 weeks they're saying but I've found that they do a pretty good job getting things done ahead of schedule usually. Pedestal swap is a big PITA though.

Wonder if they'll leave BOX up an extra day

Belchertown up toward the Pelham line

That's a helluva fish

Some damage was noted in Cleburne with a 69mph recorded at the airport

No it's just something I whipped up this morning from the CASA radar derived hail product in DFW.

Pretty impressive hail swath across the metroplex early this morning. Maxed out around 2" in Hurst I think.
