weatherwiz Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Good strikes that don't cause damage or injury are always good. What house? With the close strikes here last night, I had the image of the Rowe Elementary School burning down in my mind. That Saturday we had storms a house 6 down from me was hit by lightning and I saw it...freaked me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool. I hope it didn' it catch on fire. A few years back (before we moved here), there was a strike that ended up blowing out the wiring in our house and the farm across the street. You have to love old electrical systems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody was hurt thankfully. After the storm let up my brother and I walked down the street trying to see if we cod see where it hit. We saw oeoe standing outside and pointing and before we could say anything to them they started talking to us and told us what happened...they said in their attic they had a bunch of battery operated toys and they all turned on.

moneypitmike Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 AWT..slight risk day..should be some nice hailers around today I think the .25-.50 in my point and click is inclusive of the .80 I've received since 4:00a.m. Thus, I expect nothing more.

Ginx snewx Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Towering CU front lit by the Sun in ECT on 395, drove away from it. Pretty spectacular , that line looks impressive on radar, any reports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Best thunder/lightning all season at KPIT. Started around 4:00a.m., it's since moved to the east (all be the rain that is). Had at least three hits in what must be a 1/4 radius. Lots of ozone (??) smell in the air after at leaste one of them. Once things calm down and it lightens, I'll go to see if I can spot any damage. Power stayed on so much have been trees that took them. Look out Central/eastern areas. Good stuff incoming. Dude really really odd you said Ozone. this morning heading down Rt 164 in Preston CT well after they had a little Tstorm. I smelled Ozone very strongly.

Pretty spectacular , that line looks impressive on radar, any reports? With the lack of any statements from BOX/OKX I htink the storms have shifted to just rain (albeit a lot of it). It's stopped here now, sky's clearing with .81 down. I'll go scout out lightning damage soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 7 AM UPDATE...BAND OF CONVECTION MOVING THROUGH SNE AT 7 AM. LEADING EDGE AT 7 AM WAS FROM ASH TO PUTNAM AND BACK EDGE WAS APPROACHING CT RIVER VALLEY. HAVE MODIFIED POPS AND SKY TO REFLECT PASSAGE OF THIS ACTIVITY. AIR MASS DESTABILIZES LATER WITH IMPRESSIVE TOTAL TOTALS IN THE LOWER 50S...SHOWATERS -1 TO -2...AND MODERATELY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. HAVE INCREASED POPS AGAIN WITH THUNDER W TO E AFT 19Z. ACTIVITY COULD PERSIST FOR A WHILE INTO THE EVENING...ESPECIALLY EASTERN HALF OF AREA. IN ADDITION...INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WITH 35 TO 40 KT MID LEVEL JET MAY INCREASE RISK OF SVR TSTMS EASTERN PORTION THIS EVENING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Last nite's, HRR nailed the overnight/early AM event No it was way to slow until it caught up but by then...too late. 12z SPC WRF has some inclination, but there was a lot of instability, aloft.

weatherwiz Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 We have a shot at a decent outbreak this afternoon. This started to look really good on Monday and then yesterday things really started coming together Latest RAP is generating excellent instability later on which I certainly buy if we get the amount of sun it looks like we will see. Also, not too often we see dews near 70F associated with a cold pool moving through. Given increase in vertical shear too can't rule out a few supercells and if sfc winds back at all which is possible maybe some rotating storms.
