Typhoon Tip Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Indirectly related ... but still related... . eddy/plume of warm gulf stream water that severed is edging it's way closer to the South Coast/LI http://www.erh.noaa.gov/box/maps/sst/2011051800_highResSst_NEC.png This is likely getting an assist by persistent southerly fetch S of the warm boundary.

weatherwiz Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Read on twitter from Matt Noyes some of the cells south of Long Island had some weak rotation. Also, an EF0 tornado confirmed in NW Philly earlier. That's like the third or forth tornado for PA so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Dave, the Big mac thing was really just mean spirited. I'm guessing you have never eaten one in your life. Plus you don't wear glasses. Has the fishing been ok? I would think this is decent fishing weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Parts of southern New England should get hit pretty hard for a period later this evening and into the early overnight hours. Should see some extremely heavy rainfall to go along with some thunder/lightning. Rainfall rates should be very heavy as well, probably between 1-2''/HR. This should lead to some flooding in spots, especially the locations that have already seen a good deal of rain this week. LLJ should be on the increase over these next few hours and that will really help to throw in some more moisture from the Atlantic and with good lift around that rain shield should expand more and intensify. A good deal of moisture convergence just to the south of CT and some more rich theta-e air working into the region. Some spots should see another solid 1-3'' of rainfall tonight with some local amounts approaching 4'' or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 This week is reminiscent of the May 2005 cutoff from hell. I think 2005 might have been a bit windier, but its not that far off. At least we cracked 50F today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I recall a couple of very windy days in that, so it made it worse than this event...but that isn't a whole lot of consolation for how bad the weather has been this week.

I would think this is decent fishing weather It's been ok. The water is still cold so they aren't really crazy just yet. Went down to the river tonight but the water is really high and fast . Had one on but lost it in the heavy water. I rarely eat the fast food stuff. It's really pretty gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Scott or Will, any chance of some break in the action tomorrow, say around 3pm in the vicinity of Grennock Golf Club in Lee, Ma ? Hit or miss showers? Torrential downpours with frequent dangerous lightning? The end of days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not at all...just that it was such an anomalous event. It's a waste not to have nice wx this time of year, as we know what can greet us come July and August.

ORH_wxman Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Wow. Not including today, ORH is still only at -0.9F Thought it would be lower Today should push it to like -1.4F for the month or something like that. The first 3 days of the month were pretty mild so it took a little bit to wipe that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well even if you get a break or two of sun, it should ignite some shwrs, so I'd day there is a pretty good chance of shwrs around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been buying Columbia boots lately they hold up to the rigors of life on a construction site well and keep my feet warm and dry. You have to drop some coin to get a real performance boot but it's worth it. I used to buy Salomon exclusively but the quality seemed to drop off. I don't really remember the sun that well.

I don't need the sun. We're playing 18 unless it's lightning. I'd rather not play in the pouring rain but I'll do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
