HIPPYVALLEY Posted August 23, 2017 Whole lot of meh' with that line. A few good rumbles and flashes but nothing house shaking and almost no wind. A gust or two got above 10mph. .30" of rain though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dryslot Posted August 23, 2017 Not expecting much here as these cells usually shat the bed when the reach the coastal plain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobbutts Posted August 23, 2017 That looks legit wiz notta much here, some heavy rain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OceanStWx Posted August 23, 2017 I think that was Vr shear around 25 knots near TORrington. Not bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwiz Posted August 23, 2017 It's coming to me!!!! Wish it was daytime. Not sure if I should head a few miles east? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New England Storm Posted August 23, 2017 That rotation is rather nice. It has held on for several scans now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weatherwiz Posted August 23, 2017 Pretty much drove where that signature traversed and didn't notice any damage or debris outside of leaves in the road...which may not have been storm related. I bet we had a decent inversion...or at least an inversion in place which really prevented winds from reaching the surface. I wish the structures were evident though. Wonder if a wall or funnel were there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwiz Posted August 23, 2017 I wonder how close that was to producing. That has to be the closest I've perhaps been to being in something that looked to perhaps produce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwiz Posted August 23, 2017 I hope we get a few more threats into September Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CT Rain Posted August 23, 2017 We were pretty close to a spinner or two in Connecticut last night. The >1 nROT and a spike in spectrum width >30 knots with that Wolcott storm is definitely concerning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbutts Posted September 4, 2017 Little severe threat sneaking into the area while we watch Irma. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwiz Posted September 5, 2017 Intriguing setup tomorrow, especially just west of our region. We have a shot too for some on Wednesday as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwiz Posted September 5, 2017 Flash flooding may be more of a concern than severe...especially tomorrow night into Wednesday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwiz Posted September 5, 2017 Rather intrigued today to see how things unfold. Doesn't seem to be a great deal of consistency or agreement between the hi-res models as to exactly how today unfolds. Instability/shear will be there...along with decent lapse rates. Just a matter of forcing I guess. The best forcing remains well off to the west but there does seem to be some pieces of energy which move overhead during the afternoon. Could see a few rotating storms as well if anything remains discrete. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a pretty solid signal for severe weather. Like you said, deep, unidirectional shear, CAPE probably going to push into the 500-1000 J/kg range. But I think the key is pretty strong mid level winds moving through the region today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just looking at radar and satellite loops (and admittedly ...not much else), triggers east of the Berk's has that look of maybe being a bit of a commodity .. . Of course, if there is more mechanical forcing , it may be less important than relying upon SB CAPE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holy crap that is pretty damn significant. Where do you think is good to chase? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably going to be mostly daytime heating forced, since the front isn't exactly plowing ahead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can stand in the sun and not even feel any warmth, kind of like during the eclipse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
