powderfreak Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 This down radar is killin me today...trying to figure out operations on the mountain while folks are all over the place in the trees, on the ziplines, hiking the ridge, etc and not knowing what's coming is an interesting challenge. .EQUIPMENT... National Weather Service Doppler radar in Colchester, VT (KCXX) is down this morning due to a hardware failure, which began around 0330Z. Electronic technicians will diagnose this morning and then we`ll have a better idea of a return to service time. Thanks for your patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Looks like Tip's MCV that was over MI yesterday is making an appearance in eastern NY now. Nice swirl to the clouds headed right for the warm front over SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Spinners? Meh, low level wind fields are pretty weak. Maybe something accidentally tips a trash can, but not a true tornado environment. Actually probably more conducive to waterspout/landspout kind of day. Lots of low level CAPE, some boundaries scattered around, and weak shear.

radarman Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 As an aside, writing those little status update blurbs is always tricky... hard to say "we have no effing clue and we'll let you know something eventually" in a professional manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Um, RI SVR warning? 50 dBZ to 36 kft. 60 to 25+ Pretty crappy setup to warn on today - lots of pulsers all over. SPC mesoanalysis does show 30-35 knots of effective shear over RI so maybe that's a reason why that storm was able to get organized compared to the ones back here.

BTV just pulled the trigger on one that went 60 dBZ to 32 kft on the TYX radar. I'd hit that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 one of the smallest severe warned cells i ever recall, plus its not moving and now has a tiny flash flood warning Well RI is the tiny center of the world. Looks like its just south of Route 6 near Johnston most likely over the RI Reservoir and mainly small pop centers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
