CoastalWx Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hey Jay, I think worst went south of me based on LSR. I didn't see real strong winds, but it only takes some good winds and heavy rains to knock a few trees over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hopefully no moose get concussions from the baseballs raining down. Even if it was ping pongs, they were being tossed around by 70-80 mph winds in all likelihood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 How does Hermit Island look? Looks like a lot of lightning and heavy rain headed that way. I would say winds are less of a threat at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Probably would help to get the deer tics off of them Moose ticks - different and much larger (1/2" across when blood-filled) critter, and some moose have had 40,000 plus on them. DIFW collared about 100 moose last fall, and 60% of calves died, mostly due to tick feeding and resulting weakness. Action stayed 5-10 miles north of my place (so far, and I think #2 will also stay north.) Lots of rumbles, hardly a breath of wind, maybe 0.05" rain, though Doppler points to 2"+ in West Farmington. That radar shot has the brightest colors I've seen since the treekiller hailstorm of August 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Decent rotation with that Farmington--Skowhegan cell... Cell of the day so far imo. Good conditions... if it was more isolated, could have developed into a much more significant tornadic storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Some louder banging and light airs, little rain. Low clouds are racing from SE to NW while the cells are tracking SW to NE.

ct_yankee Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Some louder banging and light airs, little rain. Low clouds are racing from SE to NW while the cells are tracking SW to NE. Never have noted that before - is the whole cell rotating? I suspect the stuff going SE to NW is inflow feeding into the storm. Whole cells/updrafts do occasionally visually rotate, but rarely, and very unlikely in a setup like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisStraight Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Driving on 290 in Worcester I could see ominous clouds to the northwest, looked like they were getting it good, just a few rumbles in Worcester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Very much so. Maybe not as robust as before, but definitely a supercell. Low clouds now running the same direction as cell travel. Radar shows 45 dbz pixel overhead, but that's a pixel-wide average and we're at its south edge, so little/no rain or wind, and now almost no rumbling. lol at the above post, as New Sharon lies right between Farmington and Mercer. Somehow, both those towns got some action while the monkey in the middle got meh (and much excitement from the 6 PM news.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Very much so. Maybe not as robust as before, but definitely a supercell. Any damage reports with the passage of the possible 1st TOR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
