Not a bad looking core. Surprised at least no SPS on it

Thundering here!!!!

I'd actually be shocked if the ICON wasn't

Pretty classic wet microburst look on soundings if we can get anything to materialize

Looks like a typical GFS fantasy storm

Great stuff, are all these plots from the University of Miami. I love these wind shear/instability plots

I was doing some digging last week and some of the extended guidance seemed to want and relax wind shear across the MDR a bit, however, I wasn't particularly sold and was wondering if that was a product of guidance in the extended favoring climo and wanting to decrease shear as we get closer to peak climo. Waters in the MDR are also pretty meh. Will continue to be a focus for home brew, especially as we start getting more active with fronts.

Water temperatures are way too cold once you quickly get north of NC and there will be a lot of upwelling early next week. You would need probably a high end 3 or 4 approaching the Carolina coast and rapidly accelerate northward to get a cane hit here. Otherwise any system is would transition to extra-tropical or sub-tropical extremely quickly.

Yup...have to see exactly how quickly the front moves and where it stalls. Just based off the look its possible GFS may be a bit too fast with it...although the 6z GFS might be hedging towards something I'd lean towards. But that is a stout LLJ with PWATS well over 2" region-wide.

Yup. That's a setup to where you have to worry about flash flooding being a concern over a greater area.

wow

McDonalds overall is awful now...not that it was ever particularly great but its extremely overpriced and significantly worse quality. Can let to to like Applebees or Chilis and get a better burger dinner for only a few extra bucks. The McDonalds across from BDL isn't bad though. Had a double quarter pounder from there not long back and it was great.

Now you have me craving that. Haven't had one of those in a while.

Dumping here in Windsor. Was hoping we could get a lightning strike out of this

Yes, but that was within the area of where the highest potential for the greatest rainfall totals. Serious stuff there but rather localized and confined to one area. Basically a much needed rain for everyone with little flooding outside of some usual areas in Fairfield County around Bridgeport.
