The forcing was more in question yesterday. Shear and instability were present, it was just a matter of initiation. Mesomodels started hinting that cells would form only about 18-24 hrs in advance. The high risk day they knew they'd have a lot of action, although the open warm sector may have underproduced compared with what was being advertised in the morning especially by the HRRR.
-
The DFW launch had a strong cap in place. Tremendous instability but seems somewhat unlikely it breaks. OUN launch had slightly better winds, no real cap. Not quite as much instability yet.
-
Same down here with what looks like more to follow. I suppose it could put off a weak rain cooled boundary that might yield some differential heating pike south later, barring more crap development in the meantime.
-
After 3 straight years of caterpillar destruction and several large, dead trees on the property have not seen a single creepy crawly bastard yet this year.
-
Such beautiful birds. These were the ones I mentioned last week.
-
Yeah, there was about 3.5" at the bottom of Superstar, 8-12" at the top of the chair, and a hike up to the summit had me knee deep in spots. Unforgettable day for sure.
-
We have seen a few bluebirds this year. Lots of cardinals, phoebes, wrens, robins, goldfinches, red bellied and pileated woodpeckers, and our ruby throated hummingbird friend that always appears shortly before the late blooming red azalea pops. The tanagers were a first that I can recall.
-
2 scarlet tanagers in the yard. Brilliantly colored!
-
End of the week outdoor commencement ceremonies should probably start taking note of that incoming trough. Euro suite lost the surface reflection and keeps the surface low west of us.
-
This was the Denton tornado from Tuesday evening (may need to click to animate)
-
Just a beastly little cell yesterday, overachiever for sure. KBOX on the left
-
A little over 6k' at the center of the beam. Northern portions of Tolland and Willington are basically the edge of the range. But it's actually 20km further than the old radar here from 2005-2013. We can see BDL now which is great, albeit further away than we'd like.
-
Wow
-
Wet hail in the cc data earlier
-
Part of the apparent weakening trend I mentioned was just the beam sampling it somewhat closer to the ground. Higher tilts still do depict a (weaker) circulation as you note.
-
Couplet has weakened a lot the last few minutes. Maxed out just before the border
-
edge of our range but yeah not a bad couplet aloft, especially had we been plotting SRV. This is base:
-
40.5"
-
Yeah it ripped through here too... Breezy, with a nice lil feature over Northampton
-
Something about Devil's Fiddle in the spring... The outcroppings have long since melted off, but the big swoop turns on the untouched soft snow were simply divine. Boot pack laps on the top yesterday with a path down requiring only short forays into the woods.
-
Killington is skiing really good today, and I expect tomorrow should be excellent as well. A lot of snow left, woods are in peak Spring form.
-
Really was a spectacular morning...
-
Actually that's a 'vintage' pic I took in April 2001. Courtesy of a disposable camera, sun bleaching, and a blown out scanner.
-
Maybe best since

Local hill, Berkshire East. Softened around noon, skied beautifully thereafter.
