Tropopause_Fold Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 This is an interesting time of year here for such an event given the high SSTs. We can actually advect high dews north and not worry about a 10c inversion below 925mb lol. it's definitely interesting to look at. just straight looking at the maps it almost makes my brain fast forward to the cool season - looks more like something we'd see 4 months from now with those crazy low level wind fields. has some stuff going for it. who knows.

It's definitely very unusual for mid August. So who knows. If we can speed up the timing and not deal with tons of low clouds and crap we could rock.

Damage In Tolland Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Getting a nice eastward push now about to enter western CT..Prob make it to HFD and die out again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Getting a nice eastward push now about to enter western CT..Prob make it to HFD and die out again I don't know if it makes it that far. Western Litchfield and Fairfield Counties will probably get a decent storm. Our clouds from 10a-2p really screwed us today. Either way I didn't expect much here in the valley... with a southerly flow and no trigger everything is terrain driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Just had marble size hail for about ten minutes at the Manchester/Auburn line not far from SnowNH's house. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 CT with the shutout today. I thought we'd see some storms in CT and RI.. Let's hope Sunday rips IDK man these things are hitting a pretty unstable environment and they're blowing up pretty nicely out there in E NY. Come over to the Torrington area and watch 'em rip, they'll die before they hit Tolland. On another note, I'm moving back to Storrs tomorrow, I'll be in your 'hood.

ChrisM Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Show a UConn cop a hodograph and ask if it is ok for you to stay there I accidentally showed a UConn cop something else last year and almost went into the back of his car. I'm done having any contact with them. Peeing in somewhat of a public view is apparently frowned upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiator Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 surprised there aren't more W CT posters in here right now, healthy looking line. Judging by the radar loop, I'm expecting the good stuff to weaken before it hits here. It's been taking its sweet time moving through ENY. They're having all the fun. Hope to at least hear some decent thunder, if nothing else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
