@weatherwiz  first EF0  woooooo hooooo!!!! no doubt that was tornado in front of you I watched it a few times..

I still get torn because it happened just as the gust front is going through but it had to be just behind the gust front because precip had started. I'll have to pull back radar archives.

Here’s that bow just after it passed you. It must have moved right over your head 

We’re about a mile south of that lightning bolt under the reversed U of the Pile. The bow or whatever was certainly flexed to the max here.

That looks like a spin up?!  Regardless of gustnado or tornado, a great capture.

ya he needs to send that in.. Radar was matching up pretty well at that time with some rotation.. he was literally in the perfect spot!

look at the radar from that time it was definitely a weak tornado

I wish I was able to go down the entire road to see where the damage began but it was closed off. 

The purple dot was where I was and the red circle is where there were pines down. The arrow shows the track. The blue circle is where the road was closed...I could see something on fire so it had started at least a good 1/2 mile up the road...but not sure what it was like going farther down

Can’t believe Wizzy caught a Tor . Fantastic work kid 

[Torch Tiger]

were there any signs of a tornado signature at that time?  I couldn't track earlier.  Looks like a minor spin-up but nice catch

[Damage In Tolland]

Rain train setting up south thankfully. Uncongrats @ineedsnow

Tornado possible in the warning for Belchertown

Burping TORs?

Might have been a gustnado

Put your location on radar scope 

Just saw this. Where I was at the time is probably just a bit in the northwestern side of the location market

Congrats to everyone who got in on the action but as usual with these west-east tracks, just a quick shower here. Hardly enough to wash away one of the many layers of pollen starting to build. Heck of a day though before the clouds started building!

[radarman]

I know these aren't the greatest but this is zoomed in base velocity from ENX and BOX on Wiz's location, and a BOX reflectivity shot for reference.  Hard to see much, but if you had a plot of SRV you might see something a bit clearer given the storm is moving east pretty fast.  Also Nexrad coverage sucks out here, so there's that.

Looks like there might have been something also just S of CEF, but that little red speck is N of Paul.

Gentle summer thunder shower last few hours. Great for the grass and seed.

This is great, thank you!

Good cell just to my south. Definitely further south than I thought

I was watching  this storm and you need to look before this frame.. there was rotation to the SW.. radarscope was also showing reports of large trees and branches down..

anything after this? his location is east of where that is I just looked it up

[Snowedin]

I take back what I said..just had a couple good rumbles here, maybe another downpour or two to keep things interesting?

[weatherwiz]

I wish now I was parked several spots over to my right...I wouldn't have had the building obstructing me, I could have maybe seen it coming from farther away. I still can't believe it...the lights flickering too just before it approached...very movie like.

It looks like it was moving really quickly in the video.  How long did you get to actually see it?  Very cool for you!

I only got to see it for seconds. I saw it coming from over the bank and then pass me. But if I was several parking spots to the right I wouldn't have had the bank obstructing that direction and I probably would have been able to see it come from up the road.

Turned out to be a nice evening a few hundred miles north in Montreal.

My old site.  Haven't updated it in years and it could def use some love but all the ENX and BOX lowest scan imagery is archived going back to 2018.  Click the clock icon top left.
