Ginx snewx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 CAD sucks like that. Prior to the line coming through, you can really see the mesoscale aspect of how the warm sector was lifting northward. obs1.png Bar Harbor took it on the Chin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I mean seeing ASOS after ASOS jump 10-20 degrees in an hour as the warm front lifted really should have been a red flag that the boundary layer was supportive of at least marginally severe winds.

OceanStWx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Bar Harbor took it on the Chin Warm fronts love to get onshore from the Midcoast up through BGR really. We CAD big time just west of PWM, but the warm fronts blast onshore for miles once you get north of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 How I still have power i have no clue. AND I THINK A F****** TREE JUST CAME DOWN ON MY F****** TRUCK! THATS NO GOOD! Any updates?

Amazingly didn't lose power although the next town over did. **** was banging off the house hard. Intense storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 This guy off Mackworth Island definitely woke me up last night too. I was sort of awake already, and saw the flash through my eyelids even. Nice positive CG roof rattling thunder followed immediately after that.

Mechanical turbulence isn't enough to generate big gusts, but add a little convection and you easily overcome that inversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 All the forecast radars have been showing 2 lines but I think it's gonna be an average of the 2 and just 1 main line/batch. The two lines ended up being reality. Forecasts showed a nice shortwave ripping up through SNE, and it looks like what ended up happening was that the leading line was a WAA wing of heavy showers/storms, with the trailing line being the actual squall line. Much like you would see in a well developed MCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 In my location, it was definitely those discrete cells firing ahead of the main squall line that produced the heaviest wind gusts. Those discrete cells ripping due north with almost a slightly west pivot from Li sound merged with the main line near and just east of Hartford and that seems to be where the heaviest winds occurred.

Typhoon Tip Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I had more CGs in 10 minutes than all of last summer. I was a amazed at how electrified that was... And it wasn't like lazy CC with slow grumbling radiating around ... the sound phrases were crispy and loud - like that fresh whack coming out of a July 15 TCU... But yeah...lots of them, too - wind, sheets of rain. definitely a freak event ... I really think that should be worthy of some sort of hind-sight overview. Was that some sort of el nino correlation type thing... I mean, this whole season as a whole, with the seemingly engineered destructive wave interfering all of it seems anomalous. interesting...

Last night was a mix of brief lull's followed by intense wind gusts and more thunder/lightning. And this cycled on and off for about one hour between 1-2am.

Checking the ALY sounding at 00z, assuming a lower topped cool season event, 850-500 mb lapse rates were 6.5 C/km. I mean that's not bad for July around here.

Typhoon Tip Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 folks of the convective ilk may want to pay attention to that D4/5 deal... i mentioned this awhile ago, and now these 12z guidance are in concert showing a very strong continuity and trend toward an amplified narrow latitude wave/low pressure and coherent sectors moving quickly through the Lakes and NNE. it wouldn't be a CAPEy scenario...no, but the mechanics are impressive and may offset by having deep forcing.

Snowedin Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Took me until about 5 before I could settle down last night. What I found most interesting was the intensity of the lightning, even though there were very few loud claps of thunder to go with the light show. I think the individual cells that formed ahead of the main squall line were actually more intense, at least for us. Either way, that was one crazy night and I'm thankful I got a chance to witness something so historic. I'm shocked we didn't lose power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
