nice catch. As someone working with X band that kind of thing happens all the time and it certainly had a familiar look to it. But one thing I noticed was that the returned power from the cell out on the ocean didn't appear to be changing very much... Could the wind be squeegee-ing away water on the east side, creating some kind of differential radome attenuation? That'd be interesting.

WaWa opening tomorrow

That's kind of like when the 12th pick of the NBA draft is taken and the announcers describe him as similar to Kobe with a little Jordan

FWIW I'm squarely under that dark band just west of the Quabbin and it's all rain at present, and not particularly heavy.

Summit cam shows like C-1"

No doubt... We were looking decent in the lead up this far east, but just totally choking on ORH's fumes right now.

back to rain here

Accums beginning here now at 540'

We're huffing exhaust from that band at present... Hardly even raining

Yeah I was wondering if he was considering those honorary CNE

What's the "accurate" clown map showing, lollis to 4"?

seemed like more northern stream involvement from early on in the run...

I might be way off base here, but doesn't the 18z gfs usually not start rolling in til 430ish. Maybe my sources are just slow?

FWIW, the GFS has not been trending east and is definitely worthy of a watch for western SNE and adjacent CNE, ENY , etc. The euro has been way west up to the last run. And toss the mesos for this event... JMO

Hoping to break the ice here this weekend but just so much uncertainty with respect to the storm and operations, pretty hard to make a plan. I'm thinking it'll be skins and the Taconics at this juncture. Guess we'll see.

Yeah. For complex, synoptic scale upper-air interactions at range I think the hi-res is often a net negative... Not inherently of course, mainly because sampling and parameterization errors can propagate more easily. Don't get me wrong, I love the nammy as much as anyone, but this would not be the type of event I'd give it too much weight, at least not yet.

I think we might be able to eek out a bottom end advy event based on those synoptic charts here

3.6GHz processor? Or 3.6TB hard drive?

Whiteface cares

Once gen z figures out you can't play video games on starlink it'll be a bunch of betamaxes in orbit

Holyoke Gas and Electric maintains a fiber ring and operates as an ISP around the city. It's a pretty cool place to tour. You get to observe ops for a 33MW hydroelectric dam, a large solar installation, a municipal telecom, and a fish lift. Plus electric and internet is dirt cheap, lowest in the state, and more than 90% carbon neutral.

THE TORNADO BEGAN NEAR WEST MAYFIELD ROAD AND SOUTH BOWMAN ROAD WHERE FENCE, SHED AND TREE DAMAGE WAS FOUND. THE TORNADO TRAVELED NORTHEAST FROM THIS LOCATION CAUSING MINOR TREE DAMAGE. SIGNIFICANT ROOF DAMAGE TO SEVERAL STRUCTURES WAS NOTED ALONG COLORADO LANE. THE TORNADO THEN CROSSED SOUTH COOPER STREET AND DAMAGED A BURGER BOX FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, SAFELITE AUTOGLASS STORE, AND SEVERAL WAREHOUSES IN THE AREA. THE TORNADO DAMAGE IN THIS LOCATION AND ALONG COLORADO LANE WAS AT EF-1 INTENSITY. THE TORNADO CONTINUED ALONG AN EAST-NORTHEAST TRACK WHERE IT SOON IMPACTED THE WATERDANCE AND MIRAGE APARTMENTS. CONSIDERABLE ROOF DAMAGE WAS NOTED AT THESE COMPLEXES, BUT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE OCCURRED AT THE WATERDANCE APARTMENT COMPLEX. LARGE SECTIONS OF THE ROOF WERE RIPPED OFF OF TWO BUILDINGS, RESULTING IN AN EF-2 RATING AT THIS LOCATION. FROM THE APARTMENT COMPLEX, THE TORNADO WEAKENED AND TRAVELED NORTHEAST FOR A FEW MORE MILES BEFORE DISSIPATING NEAR EAST PARK ROW DRIVE AND CARTER DRIVE. SPORADIC TREE, SIDING, FENCE, AND SHINGLE DAMAGE WAS NOTED TO THE END OF THE PATH. THE MAXIMUM WINDS WITH THIS TORNADO WERE AROUND 115 MPH.

That's pretty sweet, thanks for posting. Interesting to have a big fat pipe but really long latencies.

EF2 115MPH
