LocoAko Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Guy on Fox 5 is an absolute moron...just said there's a tornado warning until 4pm ABC just said there's a "tornado" before correcting it to "er, tornado warning". They've also been saying there are funnel clouds being detected by radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tornadojay Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0662 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 1049 AM CDT THU APR 28 2011 AREAS AFFECTED...MIDDLE ATLANTIC INTO UPSTATE NY/VT CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 253... VALID 281549Z - 281645Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 253 CONTINUES. NORTHERN EXTENT OF HIGHER INSTABILITY AIRMASS EXTENDS INTO THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY REGION OF NY. THIS AXIS IS VERY NARROW AND WILL STRUGGLE TO SHIFT DOWNSTREAM INTO SRN NEW ENGLAND WHERE LOW LEVEL TRAJECTORIES ARE UNFAVORABLY OFF THE COOLER ATLANTIC. FOR THIS REASON IT APPEARS THE GREATEST SEVERE THREAT WILL REMAIN INLAND ACROSS SERN PA/NJ INTO EXTREME SRN NY...ESPECIALLY AHEAD OF FAST MOVING BOW ECHOES. ADDITIONALLY...GIVEN THE STRONG SHEAR IT/S NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT AN ISOLATED TORNADO MAY BE NOTED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED BOW ECHOES OR SUPERCELL-LIKE STRUCTURES.

LocoAko Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'm sure ABC wasn't trying to get the hype machine going by emphasizing that this is the same storm system that caused all those deadly tornadoes in the South... and Bill Evans is saying he's never seen anything like this before in reference to the radar detecting 2 funnel clouds (?). Oy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 My gut feeling is that the portion of this line closest to the coast - NYC and points east, will stabilize and weaken somewhat as per the marine layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTrials Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Radar looks like storms are transitioning now to more of an elevated convective look. Rain should be just as hard but rotation and possible tornado threat should be winding down as the storms move east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oy. I'm so sick of everything being "worst ever", "never before" from the media. The radar's not all that impressive IMO. We've seen much, much more impressive outbreaks in our area. A couple of warned cells here and there. Most of the wind being produced is via the pressure gradient b/t the intense Canadian low and high pressure to the east. No doubt we've got some strong storms around, but this isn't that bad. Here in Villanova I had one rumble of thunder and a 10 minute downpour with the line. Winds gusted to 40mph w/ the band but are now very light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how many "Snomageddons" have we had in the past 18 months. Yea it's been active but come on. Had the media been like this back in March '93 they would have all had their collective heads explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
