What an AWESOME day.

While we did just miss out on the big hail I never, ever seen a sky as green as I did today...I mean the entire sky was green. I also, never saw rotation like I did. We saw a rotating wall cloud and it also appeared to produce a funnel but it was very short lived. Anyways though the rotation above us was absolutely nuts, saw anticyclonic and cyclonic rotation. The winds with the gust front were awesome, I'd estimate about 45-50 mph...and there may have been a gust or two close to 55 mph perhaps. Trees were swaying pretty good.

Lightning hit an area extremely close to us as well...that was pretty insane.

Dare I ask about tomorrow?

As long as we can get these clouds out by mid morning, I think we could see some tstms develop late morning and aftn. You may be on the western flank of this. Seems like maybe BDL-ORH and possibly BOS has the best shot, but it could extend to you. Nothing widespread like this..but maybe sct tstms or even a few segments. If anything does form, shear will be pretty good so strong winds may happen.

seems to me with the exception of the east slope of the berks....the wx in interior CNE/NNE is exponentially better for a wx enthusiast. .....severe lover...snow lover. ice storm lover. skier.

i mean sure the cp is closer to the beach and on coastals (if they occur) the interior cp cleans up but as we see .....the wx can be very depressing/boring in east and central SNE IMO

We'll get ours later in the season. May is not our time. It's all about what you like. Some like myself loves a good cstl storm while others may not. I'm not big on tstms unless they are pretty strong or have a ton of CG, but I love even 2-4" of snow.

What's crazy is we could have intercepted those Cheshire county cells.

Before we had left my friend was thinking of taking I91 into VT and then take RT 7 from there to Albany, however, that route would have taken longer to get to Albany...had we done that we could have made it to Cheshire county...that storm was not too far north from where he lives in NH. We saw those towers from the highway and if we were closer we would have gotten there.

Models have really slowed things down..probably because of Tropical Disaster Beryl. Looks like western areas into central areas may be under the gun tomorrow again.

Chance for svr?

No way I can chase tomorrow, 1) Not much money and 2) I need to work tomorrow...I haven't worked at all this week and last week I only did 16.5 hours and Thursday ends the pay period so I need to work 8 hours tomorrow.

Well it's kind of weird. One shortwave moves through during 18-21z on the NAM and then later in the evening, the storms finally come through with the better shortwave. It's the NAM, but it's showing that.

golf balls in Dutchess Co? That thing is a beast!

I drove along the SE edge of that cell. Had small hail, I'd estimate it was only 1/4 to 1/2", was very hard to see with the rain and trying to drive and film at the same time o.O

Nice outflow ahead of it and got a few decent cloud pics, but that was about it.

Pretty much AMOUT for the day:

- best cells with some radar rotation occurring over NY/VT border into southwestern NH

- I was a bit disappointed with NY/MA border... there was a discrete cell entering favorable environment late afternoon but it eventually merged into the squall line

- good CAPE in western MA / northwest CT fired up storms later in the early evening but was in linear mode by then

Question no one has answered yet:

Was there any confirmed TOG today?

Well, down this way we ended up with a gusty line of broken thunderstorms with isolated damage reports. I got some nice visuals of a turbulent shelf cloud with CG. Of course, as the thunderstorm came overhead, it weakened. I had some gusty 45-55 mph winds with the OFB in Mount Olive. Overall, the thunderstorms down in the Mid Atlantic went as planned...overall non-severe but with sporadic damaging wind gusts holding through the coastal plain.

Nice, had a great view of a gust front, shelf cloud and backlit mammatus but it collapsed overhead.

At the gfs house so I'm on the phone, but if we bake in Sun do we have a chance of svr like today? Or way worse params?
