Significant Severe Weather Event Possible for NNE on July 14 into July 15, 2026

[vortex95]

Now finally storms w/ some meat!
 

[weatherwiz]

Front/trough continue advancing south 

EML shunting south so cap up north so that will help weakening the capping

MLCIN all but eroded with values >3000 J/KG

Getting activity going...I would think things really begin taking off in the next couple hours. Don't see STP values like this here very often and these may be amongst the highest that would exist in a database if such one existed

Jancock unsure

What an incredible bust. Wildfire smoke for the loss.

That stuff really got entrained and concentrated ahead of the front. Surface based stuff may be a loss, but these lapse rates could produce hail all night along with a rogue wind gust.

Bust in ME?  The main show storms were always going to be late in NNE -- 7pm or later, including ME.  Just delayed a bit now, either by smoke reduced max temp or just a bit slower forcing overall.

The word "bust" is used *far* too often and early when things do not go *exactly* as fcst.

SPC is clearly hedging off though

Words like “unclear“ or pretty good indicators that things aren’t really looking the way they were yesterday and how could they be…

Might be about time for them to admit they were just as smoke boned as everybody else’s forecast.

Didn’t all the CAMs show more activity in Maine than has happened?

It’s ok if it “busts”, no one saw the smoke coming.  This has been a pretty hyped day, to the point that people who don’t follow weather have been talking about it up here.  We were supposed to be like 90F today and instead low-80s.  That has to matter. 

Our time in VT has always been like 9p-1a though… but like Tyler in the post, I thought Maine would’ve been lit up already.

If stuff were to get nasty, will need stuff to really fire in Canada from 6-8p. Maybe keep an eye on that stuff near Mont-Laurier.

Firing now. Was modeled to be an evening developer.

The main show was always supposed to be after 7-8 PM lol. Anything before then was tied into the potential for discrete supercells. That obviously didn't happen because of the cloud debris/smoke and just too much capping to over come. But you have the front and shortwave moving into the environment. Things are going to take off

There is more upstream going in Ontario as well.  Looks like some supercell splits here.

I'd watch the 10:00 PM - 1:00 AM window. If the HRRR is right with that evolving cluster there may be some significant wind damage (assuming storms can root surface-based). 

That's some insane DCAPE values

Very high derecho composite parameter too. Suggestive of increased potential anything becoming organized may develop an organized cold pool, enhancing wind potential.

might be what to watch for upstate NY/VT in the next 3-5 hours

Trajectory is solid ESE and that would put it eventually into cntrl VT.
