tamarack Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 60 STATUTE MILES NORTH AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM 15 MILES SOUTHWEST OF WATERTOWN NEW YORK TO 40 MILES EAST SOUTHEAST OF BERLIN NEW HAMPSHIRE. That's 10-15 miles west of MBY, someplace in the Wilton/Dixfield area, but it could be exciting in other places as well. I'm perfectly happy to have any tornados stay elsewhere. AUG picked up 0.24" between 8A and 2P. I'd have guessed a bit more given the periods of mod/heavy rain 12:30-1:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adk Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Nice little storm moved through. Stronger south and west of BTV. Anybody notice that big boy just south of Montreal. Nice shape, and motion...prob. a wicked storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Max reached 91F. Now we will get a CG strike since I replaced my anemometer last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Riding down from the Cliff House on Mansfield on the 4-wheeler a few minutes ago was quite wild with lightning strikes that almost seemed below me (off to the south). Nothing was too close to really get me freaked but its an interesting feeling being the last one up top, closing up in a hurry as it goes pitch black outside. Thunder sounds different at 3,700ft... like its coming from below you or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbutts Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 cool cloud watching now (time sensitive) not severe or anything, just low clouds moving fast at elevation http://www.killington.com/winter/multimedia/webcam/old-northridge.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Steady roar of thunder in the distance now. Glad I just checked my raun gauge because the hole was clogged with bird droppings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Under a warning now. Frequent thunder to the NW .. the air is thick and still. Hopefully the power doesn't go out. First drops now .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Storms just went through with lots of C to G lightning wind gusts in the 30's but little rain so far. Less than .10" in the gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Nowhere near severe here. Some nice rain but little wind and no nearby lightning. Fizzle. Power on, however! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hvysnow79 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We ended up with .63" wind gusts probably close to 50. Lots of branches and small tree down on property. No power at the moment. Oddly not much lightning when it came through. I just realized I didn't check gauge from this mornings shower. So .63" for total today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Brian looked like he got it good. Monster cell south of Winni. Surprisingly nothing too bad here. There wasn't much lightning and most of it held of until near the end. Max gust was 26mph with the gust front...0.34" rain so far and just down to some lgt/mod rain now.The Sanbornton RWIS north of me gusted to 40mph. Canterbury just to my south only 15mph so far.

mahk_webstah Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 nice downpour here, some gusts but less than30 I'd guess. Some thunder and cloud to cloud. The rain is very welcome. Looks like Tilton Laconia may've gotten the best action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Spoke too soon about wind ... just had a nice gust of ~30 come through and deposit many leaves all over the place. Brief period of excitement in an otherwise meh rainstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 more nice rain incoming so it appears. Nice! Gonna be a 3 cut hay season around here...heat and rain. I have so many green tomatoes on my vines right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Getting a very nice storm now that I thought we were all done with this stuff... Impressive lightning and some of the heaviest rain you can get. No hail but these raindrops are like the size of marbles and it is absolutely pouring.

eekuasepinniW Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Prob'ly hurriedly tying up some prized tropical foliage. You know me so well. It takes a big ugly stake to hold up a 6-8' plant, so I can't leave them in all the time. Takes about an hour to get everything secured. It was a good storm but the lack of rain was weird. A whole 0.05-- figured you'd have to live in Arizona to take a direct hit and end up with that kind of rainfall. Lightning was great. Abundant clear crisp strikes and one insanely close strike which I might have got on video. Wind was pretty impressive. As Brian noted, got a nice 41mph peak gust. Wind came from the perfect direction to get measured. It also lasted quite a while and wasn't just a 30 second gust front. I broke into a cold sweat and had flashbacks when I read the local storm report later and saw: 07/17/2012 0655 PM Laconia, Belknap County. Hail e0.75 inch, reported by public. Must have been downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Spectacular light show to my NW. Just counted 45 flashs in 1 minute! Looks like she's comin right at me. Dog is panic mode! The AC is on so she can't hear the distant thunder but something is freaking her out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The prolific nighttime lightning storms in the summer of 1999 is what prompted me to buy my current camera. I wanted to try lightning photography. Too bad that camera was a curse, because I had to wait until tonight to actually try it. Phenomenal lightning show tonight... just constant CG strikes every 10 seconds, many with multiple bolts. Got about 30 good pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
