PhineasC Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Boring here. Barely any thunder or wind. A brief period of heavy rain. I guess the real action went NW of me through Bel Air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Bust I think. Low level mesocyclones have looked impressive from time to time but none of them seem to be producing. As the discrete cells are merging into clusters and line segments the threat continues to diminish though spinups on QLCS are possible. Seems like the 0-1km shear and low LCLs are conducive... but storms themselves seem to be having trouble maintaining long-lasting strong updrafts (marginal CAPE FTL?).

SmokeEater Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I called it into LWX 2 minutes after it passed, I was too busy trying to save my ass.

Agreed, bit more CAPE, few more hours of sunshine, should have probably seem some sustainable mesos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye05 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Bust in terms of 15% hatching and strong tornadoes, but still an impressive event for the region IMO. Some of the SPC "Wind" reports may turn out to be tornadoes judging by what I am reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the SPC "Wind" reports may turn out to be tornadoes judging by what I am reading. The reports I've seen (I could be wrong here) have been relatively minor though. Storms have had trouble maintaining themselves and even the supercells that have developed have produced little severe weather, surprisingly.

SluggerWx Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Baltimore news says there's some serious damage around the Bel Air road area? While responding to reports of trees down, more reports came in of collapsed structures and heavy damage - may be a little exaggerated due to the rarity of this type of storm in this area, but It looks more than straight line winds.

I'd say this is a highly accurate statement, given that Smoke said it was rain-wrapped - it looks like a lot of these cells were HP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
