Professional Lurker Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I would guess that the rotation should be a little stronger than that if it really was a funnel cloud. I think that you're right. Scud that happened to get caught up in some meso vorticity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornadomachine Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Indeed, classified by BOX as scud. So close, but I'll have better luck in Oklahoma soon. Boomer Sooner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJBASHB Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Still no power at home. Lots of tree damage centered around 101 and Corey Hill in Ashburnham. Corey Hill is still blocked off and 101 was for awhile after the storm. Pretty narrow area of damage. I was up on Watatic when it hit, bad choice.

Tornadomachine Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Were you driving T-machine?Dear lord no, I was navigating with radarscope while my conveniently local grandfather drove. You can hear him at the end of the video exclaiming lightning just happened. Videoing, driving, and tornado chasing (at least attempting to) are dangerous enough alone, and I know I can't juggle!

Christina311 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 NWS will do a survey in Woburn tomorrow to determine what happened. Here's some local news coverage: http://www.necn.com/07/07/14/Lots-of-storm-damage-in-Woburn-Mass/landing_weather.html?blockID=868894&feedID=4211 This is where I was at about 5:45 http://goo.gl/maps/z34TX Lots of damage in a concentrated area. Large trees down, power poles & lines, streets blocked and closed. A few blocks away was just fine. http://goo.gl/maps/BThWx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamrivers Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Is that true? It's odd because from what I recall it wasn't lack of GTG shear that caused the late warning, it was the fact that the BOX radar was in range fold and no ENX display readily available. Yup...that was the official reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Congrats to the folks who had some excitement yesterday--I hope all did okay with respect to any damages. Today's another day.

Tornadomachine Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Storms popping early in E NY is a good sign. Should be cruising due east around 30, any supercells moving ese a bit faster. As per the 12z ALB hodograph analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Who measured these trees? They must be slant-sticking. From the BOX microburst report: APPROXIMATELY 50 TO 70 TREES WERE BLOWN DOWN. MOST OF THEM WEREHEALTHY PINE TREES THAT WERE 100 FEET TALL. THE TREES WERE BLOWNDOWN...SNAPPED AT LEAST HALF WAY UP...OR UPROOTED. APPROXIMATELY8 TREES FELL ONTO HOUSES CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. ON HILLTOPDRIVE AND HEMLOCK LANE ALONE...MORE THAN TWO DOZEN PINE TREES WEREKNOCKED DOWN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Very few thunderstorms today in Western New England so the airmass could support convection well into the evening. I'm guessing they will leave the west counties of NH out of it. Curious to see how far into Mass they go. Convection moving east at a good clip.

moneypitmike Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Three tornado warnings out there now in NY and PA. Hopefully we'll manage some type of light show or more tonight. Nighttime storms are always fun. 79.1/71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 To employ a cliche, I'll believe THAT when I see it... I can only vaguely count on one hand, and am tempted to so never, over the last 35 years I have lived in New England, the number of times we had relatively high heat/humidity and severe, on back to back days. But ... kind of an usual set-up underway so perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
