radarman Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 FYI - wrote up a blog post on today's hail in NL County if anyone's interested http://ryanhanrahan.com/2013/09/03/new-london-county-hailstorm/ Nice writeup Ryan. Good explanation about the KDP as well. I would guess that in the KDP spike it was mostly heavy oblate rain with a handful of stray (wet) hailstones while the low region was the primary hailcore.

CoastalWx Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 This summer has been pretty lame. Here in CT we've had a few flood and severe convection events that have kept us busy but overall - very meh. I do appreciate a good storm as much as anyone, but it's been a rough stretch. As much as SNE is somewhat severe deprived, that stretch of time I mentioned was really good for our standards...at least here ern ma. Hail, wind...you name it. I missed the big SE MA macroburst, but at least it wasn't because I was selling hot dogs. Track meet FTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting too that there was a sudden drop in KDP in the volume scan immediately prior to the hail reaching the ground. Seems like when the hail core descended on the northwest flank of the storm KDP dropped while the larger area getting heavy rain and wet/water-coated/non-severe hail had the high KDP continue.

It's been a pretty crazy stretch of weather since 2011... but in terms of severe since the Springfield tornado it's been quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It's good to keep the winter chill around too at 500mb. Takes a lot of time to warm upstairs. I miss the 90s and early 2000s. For some reason, that was a good period for severe even in ern ma. I can't recall a summer this dull for tstms locally. I mean beyond dull. I lived in northeast CT at the time and also recall several good thunderstorm events during that time. I never large hail up there and in fact, I only saw hail once in Windham County and that was pea-sized, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that his Dodge Ram probably would have been totaled in which we all would have a good laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I bet the museum has scrolls about that as well as soil cores. lots of references to what a severe weather hole eastern mass north of the Cape was, 1200 years and nothing has changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster balls fell from the sky in Vernon that day. Deep River gets all the attn in that one, but Vernon/Tolland/Ellington/manchester also had hail the same size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in '01 I can recall a decent hailstorm up there too, but don't remember the day. edit- it was 6/30/01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Pictures or it doesn't count... LOL..I think in 95 we still had Polaroids. We had several houses in that hood that had skylights broken I remember and my mom's car hood looked like Arod's back with pockmarks. Just massive stones that day. I remember watcjing TWC local on the 8's and that was the only radar we had..and seeing the warning . I still remember sitting there watching as the things formed up near Amherst. there were also TOR warnings issued with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's parents where they still live today got it..Her brother's Pontiac had hail damage to the hood and roof. Thankfully I lived in Vernon for that one..which if one were to look at a map and knew the geography of the state would clearly see was under the core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Classic flying eagle right there. Yeah pretty awesome looking. Here's the storm data entry A cold front moving across the area generated severe thunderstorms which produced large hail and gusty winds. Baseball-size hail lasted for up to 20 minutes in Deep River causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. The hailstones broke hundreds of windows in buildings and automobiles, tore holes in roofs, dented siding and automobiles, and ruined gardens. Some automobiles were totaled. In one historic building, the hail broke 25 windows, including a 100-year curved window. Thirty-two windows were smashed in an elementary school and its roof was damaged. Most of the damage was covered by insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
