Torch Tiger

Great news, let's bring this west

Hope so

1998 along with a 1938 and we're in business

vicious

Heavy rain, a few wind gusts and a few flashes.

find a new job :/

I want a tor

Insane storm

Right along the south coast, ok...but for most it's a non-event besides some rain and thunder

It's over

Yeah looks like a very long, hot stretch coming.

Yeah, the past few days most of the models were driving that MCS activity way southwest of us, that's usually the kiss of death

Looks like wagons south, though never really looked good for most of SNE. NYC/LI/S coast possibly

Crushed

Had a decent downpour and a little wind, maybe 30mph. A few flashes. Looks real good BOS/PVD

sprinkle and a rumble here.

Nothing expected here, hopefully SW of here gets a nice hit though.

Hope so

Less than 5 months away from days getting longer again!

Valid 271801Z - 271930Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 395 continues. SUMMARY...Threat for damaging wind gusts continues across western and central NY. A downstream watch across eastern NY and adjacent areas will likely be needed soon. DISCUSSION...Radar and visible satellite imagery show two lines of convection pushing across western and central NY. The lead line extends from RME southwestward to ITH. The second line extends from FZY southwestward to OLE. While initially stronger, the lead line has been on a weakening trend for the past half hour. In contract, the second has seen a gradual increase in intensity. This increase in intensity appears to be associated with a modest increase in instability and decrease in convective inhibition ahead of the line. Additionally, new development has recently occurred over Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties as the second line intersects the outflow of the leading convective line. Deep westerly flow aloft will result in fast storm motion as well as the potential for damaging wind gusts as these storms continue eastward. Current estimated storm motion is about 45 kt with the north end of the line. As a result, it is expected to reach the edge of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 395 around or before 19Z. Given the recent trends, a downstream watch will likely be needed across more of eastern NY and adjacent southern VT, western/central MA, and northern CT.

lfg ...NY/New England... Surface-based thunderstorms are expected to develop by midday over parts of western NY and/or adjoining ON, along and south of the front. Activity should increase in coverage and move mostly eastward across central/eastern portions of NY and south-central New England through the afternoon, its movement aligned with an instability gradient and boundary-layer moist axis. Damaging to locally severe wind gusts will be the main concern. Confidence has increased that enough large-scale lift (related to the MCV) and diurnal low-level destabilization will occur to support maintenance of the threat eastward into New England. The 15% wind area has been extended accordingly. Surface dewpoints generally in the low/mid 60s F will be common in the preconvective environment across the region, with minimal MLCINH. Accordingly modified RAOBs and forecast soundings suggest that -- despite weak midlevel lapse rates -- MLCAPE around 500-1000 J/kg will develop (locally/briefly higher), atop a reasonably well-mixed boundary layer with steep low-level lapse rates. A roughly unidirectional deep-layer wind profile is expected, with effective-shear magnitudes in the 30-40-kt range. Given the weak capping and progressive regime of ascent preceding the MCV, some cold-pool aggregation may occur in upscale growth of convection, enabling forward propagation to impinge on the destabilized boundary layer, potentially as far east as the MA and perhaps NH coastlines given the westerly flow that can advect favorable boundary-layer theta-e that far.

Love this weather and smoke.

Yeah it doesn't look too impressive, but the s/w and wind field are somewhat respectable anyway. Hopefully modeled dews are a bit low because there's some upside

12-20"? of course not, August is a dry month outside of tropical interests and occasional connections

A great way to end a fantastic and exciting month. Wild one, we take.
