Damage In Tolland Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Some insane pics and vids coming from LI. What a weenie spot they have been over the last 2 years. 3 inch diameter hail ion New Hyde park..smashed car windshields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Damn this storm has been going strong for like 45 minutes, sideways rain and lightning strikes all over the place. Lights flickered several times in a house I have only lost power in once (blackout) Pretty good for the CT shoreline, although no hail to speak of. Wind was going pretty good as well. Didn't you say earlier this morning after Ryan cancelled CT storms due to a couple mid level clouds that today would fail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 3 inch diameter hail ion New Hyde park..smashed car windshields >7C/KM lapse rates FTW. Those steep mid level lapse rates allows for the updrafts to accelerate right in that -10C to -20C layer for hail development. Boom. I think that storm fired along the seabreeze boundary too. Dews were higher there. Maybe Mike has another siggy severe event under his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Had a few T-storms fire up right over the house and then quicky drift SE. Knocked out phone/internet and power briefly, A couple earth shattering claps of thunder and a little rain that's was it. Fairly boring but it feels nice out there with the breeze.

CoastalWx Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Also had that pocket of 30 kt 0-6km winds in that area which really helped as well. Yeah it's possible that played a role too...though I'm not sure how true that lobe of winds were in the NYC area since it's based on a model forecast...but there could have been a lobe of stronger winds. The shear was a little better there in general which was one of the things we talked about this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmj16725 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Just missed the core of the storm that went through Waterbury - still a real impressive light show with 1.45" of rain in just over a hour, but no hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shear was a little better there in general which was one of the things we talked about this morning. It did appear there would be some localized pockets of stronger shear today, although I do agree, hard to gauge exactly how true that is...have to look at VAD data or something. If it was true it probably at least help with updraft/downdraft acceleration a bit which probably helped to prolong those storms a bit and potentially aid in the really large hail...helicity was shown to be a bit higher there as well.

Its amazing to think its that far away Storm could have really high tops perhaps and lots of CC lightning, or lightning up near the anvil...MUcapes of 3000 J/KG down that way!

ice1972 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I am at rockledge in west Hartford seeing some fantastic lightning to the west.....it is cc that is high enough in the storm where you can the silhouette of the cloud structure throughout the tower.....it really is sick....so far away too....

I wish iPhone could do it.....if I had a nice slr I would be taking time lapse photos.....it's perfect....my radar app is telling me those tops are up at 40k....the mountain is no match.....i'm looking right over uconn health center....this spot has always yielded good night shows to the west....I bet if you go outside you could probably see too....it's pretty high.....
