Think the worst of it was from 1-2am no? Another storm came through at 5ish but I thought that one was weaker. At least I was able to sleep through that one lol

yeah I just edited my post for the time. Meant to convert from Z but forgot

must have been a super localized gust. Actually further looking at the radar, I wonder if there may have been a brief TOR?

86mph at a home site just east of the lighthouse.

It had a 'micro bow' on the base reflectivity structure as it passed through NH fwiw - ... probably a cycling micro burster

Here's a scan 5 minutes after what I posted. Definitely interesting around there

[weatherwiz]

Looking through at mesoanalysis last night and there is nothing really jumping out. There had to have been some sort of mesoscale or microscale interaction to really enhance things. But this is really nuts...80-100+ mph straight-lines is not easy to accomplish, especially here and especially at night.

Just leaving this here…congrats Hawaii.

Very localized. Only damage seems to be Lighthouse point and the area that says woodmont on your radar screenshot.

I am really starting to wonder if a brief tornado touchdown between Milford/Orange and then touched down again around Lighthouse Point. We'll have to see if the NWS sends out anyone to survey.

6.98” in July and 1.87” for August so far.

Sorry you haven’t had 20” like south of you. 

2 inches more than me. Of course the drought monitor says it has lessened.

Get temps up another 10 degrees and dewpoints another 7-10 then we can talk beautiful 

[vortex95]

And @CoastalWx still misses the storms!  Can he at least hear T to the S?
 

[Bryan63]

Always fun when you get the rare combination of downpours and thunder while still sunny out. Looks like we may get into that gell popping off around Bridgewater this way.

Thankfully he is nice and safe behind the seabreeze. 

[Bryan63]

Getting some small hail and heavy rain now 

[Bryan63]

Getting some bigger hail now but still on the smaller side. Rain rate is impressive but little to any wind or lightning.
