Ginx snewx Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I'd like a storm. Thanks. May you be blessed with a 100 mph wet microburst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlantStickers Anonymous Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yeah, just making sure all the windows are closed and stuff is secure outside. Hopefully we can get some nice storms without a tornado I always put as many light objects as possible on the deck before a storm with wind potential, I like to maximize my chances of being struck by debris when I go out to watch.

CoastalWx Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yup, I was ground zero once (5/27/10) and it was all I need in this lifetime. The only time I ever felt the wind coming straight down out of the sky. Nighttime storm too, scary. Damage at the house? That was a real cool event.

CoastalWx Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 my recollection of the few severe events are of overnight early AM timeframes. Worst always came in off the ocean not land. Oct 18, 1990. 100kt microburst in Westerly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Damage at the house? That was a real cool event. The rare N to S moving severe t-storms came down from S VT. When I looked at the radar I immediately ran outside and started bringing stuff in. Lost a few of the towering pines out back but none on the house thankfully. No power for 2-3 days. Next door neighbors lost 25-30 trees and just as many were down on the next street over. The white pines were clapping together like drums. Wind went from gusty to house rattling in seconds. Only time I've ever gone to the basement. lol Had to wait until dawn to see the damage and dozens of neighbors were all out just wandering around. http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/05/storms_force_greenfield_to_dec.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Here's an HRRR sounding for Chatham at 9 a.m. Wind profile gets a little funky, but check out those severe parameters: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 That type of back-veer-back profile in the low levels would be quite problematic for tornadic potential.There's no doubt about that. However, I think CHH is a bit too far east to be in the greatest threat zone. The low/mid levels are more veered as you move northwest. Likewise, the stronger wind shear is also displaced NW of the stronger instability, which is forecast to reside over the Cape and islands. This is not a clear-cut setup, but I still think there is an enhanced tornado threat from eastern CT into RI and eastern Mass., NW of the CC canal. There are only a very limited number of stations that run the HRRR soundings, so the pickings are slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Models seem to really like interior SE MA. Seems like the center of the threat. More than one hires showing an impressive storm crossing LI, then the sound, then intensifying over eastern CT and then Northeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
