WGPD HQ got hit in this recent cell about 45 minutes ago, they are accessing building now. No smoke but burning smell. Lots of trees /wires that turned into fires in Coventry, reports of 2-3" there.

Drz1111 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 My mom saw a tornado tonight in Warren, CT, over Lake Waramaug. Said it came very close to the restaurant she was having dinner in. Said it had a wall cloud and multiple suction vorticies rotating around a broader center, but seemed weak. She said there are photos and maybe some video from others in the restaurant, and that they had a great view. i am insanely insanely jealous.

weatherwiz Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 I think tomorrow could be very active...even in terms of actual severe weather. The 0z NAM is a bit eye opening actually. We have weak height falls (which is more than sufficient in this airmass) and has increasing shear late in the day with very backed low-level wind fields with low LCL's and ample llvl moisture. Also, the NAM isn't terrible with lapse rates either...right around 6C/km as opposed to 5.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drz1111 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I am literally about to spend thousands of dollars to go storm chasing out west next spring and she has a tornado pass over her goddamn head while having lamb chops and merlot. Of freakin' course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drz1111 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I should add, because my mom is an excellent weather observer (she got me started in this hobby) that my mother told me that she noticed on her car thermometer while driving to dinner that over the 2 mile drive, the temp jumped 12 degrees, and she figured there was some sort of outflow boundary around and that the storms could be spicy. God bless her and my genetic weather weanie roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly could have been a spin up - wouldn't surprise me given the environment but we'll probably never know.

weatherwiz Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Just now, Ginx snewx said: Wiz 4km Nam has nada? Eh I haven't really been impressed with the 4 km NAM this summer really. While the greatest likelihood may be north of CT (I did think that going into today as well), with this airmass it doesn't take much to get things going. Now perhaps Sunday is the much bigger day but late afternoon we see some weak height falls (before they look to rise late evening) with increasing shear and good directional shear. Once again we have leftover boundaries which will be a focal point and is something that could have helped with NE CT storms earlier. I think late tomorrow afternoon into early evening sort of needs to be watched and with stronger winds aloft and perhaps some steeper mid-level lapse rates the threat for damaging winds could be enhanced a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modfan Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Surprised that NWS is not going to look at the damage in Woodstock/Putnam. RI? I am willing there is EF0 damage as it skipped from E Ct into RI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they investigate from that area to RT6 in Foster as that would be exactly where that rotation headed. Radar had a distinct notch Many noted it at the time What's your best guess on timing? If it's when I think it was from the radar I just looked at, I'm not sure I ever would have issued a TOR unless somebody gave me video of it on the ground at the time. There's a good straight line wind signature in the Pomfret area around 21z though. The beam is roughly 2-3 kft above ground in that area of CT, so certainly high enough to miss a real low level spin up, but low enough that you would expect to see some rotation.

I don't know the exact time... I'm trying to figure it out. I had the BOX radar up the whole time and I never really saw anything concerning in terms of rotation but there was that straight line wind sig.

Don't know about Woodstock Pomfret seemed like some sheared tops there. The rotation I saw was low level and racing to exactly where the damage was. I am here , damage was here. Thats the direction the probably 1/4 mile wide rotation was headed, thats about 700 ft elevation I am 515 so maybe it scrapped there and lifted?

It looks like around 21z or so we start seeing some weak height falls approach and a weak piece of s/w energy. I wouldn't be surprised if after 4-5 PM we see some activist either work into or develop over CT...persisting until about 10 or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
