MN Transplant Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 That is sick. Anyone have the rain rates for the storms over that area? http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KNYQUEEN3&day=15&month=08&year=2012 This station was racking up about 0.4" every 5 minutes for a while. That's around 5"/hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user13 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 That is sick. Anyone have the rain rates for the storms over that area?

Dark Energy Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 what your saying is that when they do trigger something they'll be getting severe quick right? Well, maybe. A lot of clouds over the area now and the atm has been overworked pretty well. So far there hasnt been anything firing along the low-level convergence associated with the boundaries. It's still too early to write it off tho. Plus, we still have forcing coming in with the s/w trof moving in. Patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Energy Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 where is the shortwave trough currently located? that is def gonna give some aid in developing some more storms The s/w trough is moving into VA now. The best DPVA is coming right into the area now. Problem is, atm has been worked over pretty good so not sure how much juice there is left to develop deep convection.

Analog96 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I may not get very much out of it. It seemed like it formed in the perfect spot for me, but it is diving South, and taking the heaviest action with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Huge explosion finally on those boundaries in NJ but not so sure any of it will hold together as it approaches the coast and nears the already beaten up atmosphere from earlier activity.

Shades Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Video taken of the hailer from the severe storm which passed through central Queens around 4pm today. I was in Maspeth, with quarter sized hail (although, I would estimate some larger stones; car alarms went off rampantly around the neighborhood). Winds were very impressive as well, and veered with direction as the storm passed through. Pardon the language used in this video… sheer excitement; I don’t see many hail storms in my neck of the woods. Hailstones at the end of the video. http://youtu.be/Oc91defA-wQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
