CAMs not showing much but I'm really curious to see if we can pop anything this afternoon. CAMs are more bullish to our northwest (which makes sense) but we're going to break out into some degree of sun (at least up to and WOR) and should destabilize rapidly. Mid-levels become rather dry, however, I don't think that would be a negative today because the llvls are quite moist so air rising rapidly would negate that a bit and this would also help strengthen downdraft potential. LCL and LFC are also relatively close throughout the day so it isn't going to take much to get parcels to really accelerate. Coverage isn't going to be widespread but any means but I think we'll see at least a few decent cells with 1-1.25" hail and strong wind gusts.

Blows. At my great niece birthday party. Luckily much of then day was dry. Had a brief sprinkle around 2:45-3 but had been dry. Despite this being super light everything is wet. At least it’s not enough to stop the fire from going

Been getting an annoying mist in Enfield for the past hour…maybe even a bit longer

yup...but sooner or later we'll ramp up the summer heat into this region

By 2036 a 90F day on June 30 will be a -2 for a daytime high at BDL

Will be some nasty storms around Sunday if we can destabilize enough

may as well just extrapolate to next season

I feel like September is going to be quite the interesting month. There is still potential for us to get another surge of upper 80's and 90's for many but some signals too we could start seeing some stronger troughs sliding across Canada and northern tier of the country. That should yield some interesting weather chances

maybe we net some small hailers Sunday

I'd be curious if something similar has happened before...I would think it has (just not very common). This would be a good question for @OceanStWx I actually kind of like this and this falls in line with the new modifications to the SPC outlooks. As we become more knowledgeable in the area of severe weather and with advancements in technology and modelling I think it's a great idea to be able to try and narrow down areas of "greatest" potential within an overall larger area. I agree it can be confusing to emergency management and the public but this is where educating and communicating to emergency management and the public becomes critical.

I would be willing to bet that was planned that way. Goal was to get the SVR out first and then hone down on an area where combination of ingredients overlapped most for a tornado risk. Probably why the time delay between the two...discussion on the SVR with local offices and then discussion on the area for the tornado watch

Yup...you're not getting anything going in that. When those two waves the NHC flagged last week crapped the bed that was a tell tale sign of where things stand. Environmental conditions aren't going to be getting any better either. Now folks may look at that and say we gotta watch the Gulf and northern Caribbean for home brew, but it should be noted the shear is only weak there because of the large scale ridging. Once that breaks down and we get troughs and fronts digging into the southern states that will change.

nice looking supercell with a TDS down in Maryland

These are always tough because it depends on exactly where the front stalls and where the low pressure tracks. I've felt the past few days the GFS may be a bit too aggressive with Saturday...at least with northwest extent of the heavier rain. We'll probably see some showers around though given weak lift

Looks like Hawaii dodging a bullet with Two-C
