moneypitmike Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 How close is the thunder? Radar looks decent to your SW. Well--close enough that I'm really surprised Im not seeing lightnigh flashes. Maybe that's due to the fog. 62.2/62, rain at .47/hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

free_man Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 April suckage continues The best part is when it's all windy and ominous looking out the window, you think a storm is coming in; then the wind dies down, thunder completely stops and it starts to pour. Nothing tops SNE thunder threats; when you can have violent shear and no instability, or vice versa - but always exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Target on Hartford Rd in New Britain, CT just down the street from Westfarms mall was hit by lightning and building is being evacuated. That's like a 10-minute drive from my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Looks like a tiny supercell, actually. At least a brief glance at the radar has that look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Is there fog down there? Yes but not nearly as heavy as what I see on the hills west of here. No more rumbles. RA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Had a ten minute rain shower here...borderline severe. I was pretty scared for my life...I went to the basement just to be sure I was safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarshall Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 What are the chances that BOS gets 0.0" of rain tonight. Watching these showers dissipate as they get close. If I go out and water the grass seed, we'll get a dumping, if I don't water we'll get nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastBayWx Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Moderate Fog w/ thunder and a nice cell moving in from the southwest. It is rare when instability trumps the marine layer here, except for these very strong SW flow events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that I've ever seen a tornado with that much intensity with respect to the multiple vortices. Just like what was described when the Tri-State tornado occured...."a boiling mass of clouds that seemed to be on the ground". Unbelievable....
