SNE severe thread


weatherwiz

Recommended Posts

Now that winter has seemed to calm down and things are boring it's time to look towards more exciting weather, severe wx! Last summer was pretty cool, we had some decent events in May, including an EML-like setup in late May. Then we had the back-to-back tornado watch days on June 5th and 6th. CT ended up with 5 tornadoes...second on record only to 1973 which had 8, and 4 came on one day which was the most ever from one event...in fact that event on 7/21 also produced 3 tornadoes in ME for a total of 7.

Hopefully this summer is active with lots of severe wx...a summer like 2008 would be preferred.

I'm not as much of a fan of 2008 ... too many dreary days with the persistent UL cold pool. I would be fine with another summer like last year ... maybe just with tornado watch weekend actually verifying lol

Regardless, I just have to say, I got my best thunderstorm in many years earlier this month!

I loved 2008 just b/c there were like 3-4 severe wx days a week lol. One of the events in June too, I forget which one produced more severe wx reports in the BOX CWA than any other event...including 5/31/98.

The king of monster severe...July 10, 1989. Now that's an outbreak. New England record for most tornadoes in a single day. Rare case where a true EML was present.

2008 was okay for numbers. I'd much rather just a couple events and have them be violent than a string of cold pool small hailers.

West coast getting the action today

...PACIFIC NW COAST... SHORT-WAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED 90-100 KT MIDLEVEL JET STREAK WILL MOVE ONSHORE TODAY IN ADVANCE OF MORE INTENSE UPSTREAM SYSTEM WHICH IS FORECAST TO APPROACH THE NRN CA COAST LATE TONIGHT INTO WED MORNING. DYNAMIC COOLING/HEIGHT FALLS ALONG CYCLONIC SIDE OF MIDLEVEL JET CORE COUPLED WITH SOME BOUNDARY LAYER WARMING AND CONTINUED...MOIST ONSHORE FLOW IN THE LOW LEVELS WILL RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF WEAK INSTABILITY LATER TODAY WITH SBCAPE APPROACHING 100-300 J/KG. TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE TODAY IN ADVANCE OF LEAD SHORT-WAVE TROUGH WITHIN KINEMATIC ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY A STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR PER CURRENT MEDFORD AND PORTLAND ORE VWP DATA. AS SUCH...SOME POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR ORGANIZED/LONGER-LIVED STORM STRUCTURES EMBEDDED WITHIN LARGER PRECIPITATION SHIELD WITH A RISK FOR LOCALLY STRONG WIND GUSTS AND/OR A BRIEF TORNADO. THIS SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH THROUGH THE EVENING AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS/STABILIZES.

after 14 years of thankless record keeping I finally found somebody who appreciates it :thumbsup:

Most definitely! I've been wanting to do something like this since I was 5 years old...but I have some sort of weird issue where when I want to start something it has to be on a certain day or date or I won't do it. For example, with the weather record keeping I always wanted to start it on January 1st...but I'd forget so I'd say I'll start next year....when I try to start an exercising program I have to start on a Monday...but Tuesday will come and I'll remember so I'll say next week.

I'd really glad though to see someone else has done this :)

Not too late to start this year. The only one I have so far is 1/12 during the snowstorm. Open a spreadsheet on the computer and get too it.

Not a bad idea :thumbsup:

I've wanted to keep everything though...snowfall totals, rainfall totals...I guess I can start whenever I want...although it will be hard for the rainfall totals and the temps...I don't have any place in my yard where I can place my rain gauge...when I measure snow I have to either go into a neighbors yard or across the street :lol:

I was the supreme severe weather weenie in SNE from 1995-2002, some of the storms I had the video camera rolling for were worthy of 20 buns. Since then my enthusiasm has waned and the crown has been passed to wiz

What got me into severe wx or convection was when I was younger and I used to watch squall lines come this way they always seemed to die out before they got to me and I could never figure out why...after seeing this mainly time after time I wanted to find out why...not I know that Long Island Sound plays a great role but I just love severe wx so much...and winter wx as well...although nobody really knew that but I think this winter probably made some realize that.

I might have to start posting some of my old videos!
