Good discussion out of BTV regarding today's threat.

FCST CHALLENGE TODAY WL BE CONVECTIVE MODE AND TIMING...ALONG

WITH AREAL COVERAGE/INTENSITY OF STORMS. OVERALL...NUMBER OF

FACTORS COMING TOGETHER FOR ANOTHER VERY ACTIVE DAY WITH SEVERAL

ROUNDS OF WIDESPREAD STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SEVERE WX

ANTICIPATED. WATER VAPOR SHOWS EMBEDDED 5H VORT ACRS THE CENTRAL

GREAT LAKES WL TRACK TWD OUR WESTERN CWA BY 15Z...IN THE FAST

WESTERLY FLW. MEANWHILE...A SFC COLD FRNT WL APPROACH THE REGION

FROM THE NORTH...HELPING TO ENHANCE LLVL CONVERGENCE...WHILE NOSE

OF 25H JET WL PROMOTE FAVORABLE ULVL DIVERGENCE ACRS OUR REGION.

THESE TWO LIFTING MECHANISMS...COMBINED WITH SFC BASED CAPE VALUES

BTWN 2000 AND 3000 J/KG AND LIS BTWN -4C AND -6C...SUPPORTS AN

ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR ROBUST CONVECTION. BEST 0-3KM AND 0-6KM

SHEAR WL BE ALONG THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER AREA...WHERE 850MB

WINDS WL BE BTWN 25 AND 35KNTS...700MB VALUES BTWN 30 AND 40

KNTS...AND 500MB WINDS APPROACHING 50 KNTS. GIVEN THE ABOVE

PARAMETERS AND INVESTIGATING THERMAL PROFILES...FEEL MAIN

CONVECTIVE MODE WL BE BOWING LINE SEGMENTS...GIVEN MAINLY

UNIDIRECTIONAL FLW...BUT A FEW ISOLATED SUPERCELLS WL BE

POSSIBLE...WHERE TRRN TURNS THE LLVL FLW MORE SOUTHERLY...LIKE THE

CPV AND UPPER CT RIVER VALLEY. THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT

WL BE DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 70 MPH...WITH LARGE GOLF

BALL SIZE HAIL THE SECONDARY THREAT...FOLLOWED BY LOCALIZED VERY

HEAVY DOWN POURS AS PW VALUES ARE BTWN 1.50 AND 1.75". FEEL

CONVECTION WL FIRST DEVELOP ACRS NORTHERN NY BTWN 15Z-17Z...THEN

TRACK INTO THE CPV BY EARLY AFTN...AND THRU VT BY 21Z...AS BEST

LLVL INSTABILITY IS PUSHED INTO EASTERN/SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

PROGGED 85H TEMPS SUPPORT BTWN 16C AND 17C...SUPPORT HIGHS INTO

THE 80S...FEEL LEFTOVER DEBRIS CLOUDS WL LIMIT SFC HEATING DURING

THE EARLY MORNING HRS.

Supercells possible where the terrain turns the low level flow southerly... sound familiar?

Wonder if BOX will be doing a damage assessment for a microburst?

TREES DOWN, DAMAGE TO HOMES, POWER OUTAGES IN SEVERAL PROVIDENCE NEIGHBORHOODS

School delayed one hour; emergency workers responding

June 9, 2011

PROVIDENCE RI – High velocity straight-line winds that accompanied thunderstorms early this morning uprooted and knocked down trees, flooded roads and damaged homes in several parts of Providence.

The following neighborhoods were affected by thunderstorms and straight-line winds that crossed into Providence around 3:30AM Thursday:

  • Cranston Street, Huntington Avenue and Niantic Avenue, Dupont Drive area
  • West Elmwood area, Melrose Street, and the Reservoir Triangle
  • Atwells Avenue, Broadway at Service Road #7 and #8
  • Silver Lake: Form Union Avenue, Webster Avenue to Terrace and Pocasset and Plainfield Streets

Type Damage: No reported injuries, trees down, flooded roads, moderate damage to some houses (roofs damaged by fallen trees / roofs blown off).

Power: 3,000 customers are without power. National Grid is already out doing repairs. Most customers are expected to have power back by 9AM, but some could go without power for longer.

Schools: Providence Schools will have a 1-hour delay.

Issues: Early morning rush-hour traffic will be problematic in some parts of the city due to impassable roads. The Providence Department of Public Works and the Parks Department’s Forestry Division are removing trees. Contract trees crew are being recalled.

Emergency Numbers:

  • Stayed tuned to local broadcasts for information on storm related updates.
  • If power outages occur, contact National Grid at 1-800-322-3223.
  • Do not touch any downed utility lines and report them to the Fire Department at 274-3344.
  • For trees that are not posing a safety hazard, contact the Parks Department Forestry Division at 785-9450.
  • In the event of an emergency, call 911.

Safety: Citizens are advised to stay away from downed power lines. Motorists should drive through standing water. Avoid damage areas if commuting.

Pretty decent set of storms overnight - maybe the best since the 2006 supercell that tore up Cranston? Lots of damage to trees and property. Providence schools are on a one hour delay as they clear roads

Wow looks like a microburst went right through Cranston and Providence just past 2:30AM

Fox Point recorded a gust to 77mph!

What's it have for C NE?

It has stuff moving through NH as well around 4-5pm. You can check it out here.

Just choose composite reflectivity. You should never take it verbatim, but if it locks onto a trend for a few to several runs..then it may be onto something.

Nice pics Steve

P.Freak, I would enjoy a good blow, thanks for posting that.

Have fun altering this quote boyzzz :arrowhead:

This would be cool to get 4+ thunderstorms in less than 24 hours

Don't even have to alter it.:unsure:

There are addiction clinics that can help you with that... just ask Tiger.
