Tropical? Oh, tropical…

Yeah, there’s a secondary peak in the middle of October, while usually most of August is quiet. It’s not until around the 20th that things pick up in August, though I think we’re looking right at the start of the month this year. It’s coming. Probably very late July/early August.

Agree with @Windspeed, as usual. The switch will flip in August IMO.

Nice. It was looking like it on the back end and was a little gusty when it passed over me.

Not a thunderstorm, but probably the best photography I’ve been able to do so far this summer.

The Gulf system underperformed, but that’s what happens when shear overpowers a favorable SST environment. I’m still expecting things to pick up in another two weeks.

Get your sleep now.

It’s boring, but even in the big tropical years we tend to be very quiet until August.

Congrats Mass on the rain. Clouds broke just long enough for a couple shots. Hope I can get a horizon landscape shot tomorrow.

The one time I need clear skies, a POS shower develops and obscures the rising moon.

Wow. What an event yesterday.

Glad everyone is ok. Looks like that ENH worked out.

The cell in far northern CT was legit. I was on it for a bit. Finally a chase in but I’m clearly rusty. I screwed up and missed getting truly ahead of the goods.

That cell SW of Pittsfield looks nice.

AEMATT to the delight of all homeowners west. It’s my fault. I’m dense. A hurricane force low before it became Wanda in the open Atlantic lol. I recorded just above 980mb in Orleans. Definitely cat 1 gusts early that morning.

Sarcasm frequently flies over my head

It’s the opposite. It goes from south of Long Island to the VT border in 4 hours. It was moving extraordinarily fast. That’s part of the reason why it maintained its intensity so far north.

Yeah. Way too disorganized. Euro was most bullish and support basically evaporated overnight. It has a lot of work to do to have a meaningful shot at development.

Happy birthday!

Same here—I’m up all night tracking interesting events when they’re happening and it’s awesome to experience the power of wx. I just don’t get too hung up over the busts anymore. Tropical is my obsession, and I’m sure if a legit cane were barreling down on the region the thread for it would be on par with a blizzard. That is, until the grid collapses It’d be severe in New England for sure, but the meteorology of it—the evolution of the steering pattern, the internal structure of the TC upon landfall and extra tropical transition, and the real-time data from across the region—would be fascinating.

Yeah, those have been good. I was just reading through last October’s thread. That was higher end stuff. I feel like I can generally make whatever wx work. I just want interesting or active. I have been leaning toward wanting more big dogs recently though. I know everyone up here loves winter and I still do too, but tracking it is tedious. The threads are mini insane asylums.
