It was def a wet micro..About a 2 mile radius and over 20 trees down that i counted . Several rds closed..I saw some of the pics I took you guys posted.

Needless to say best t-storm I've ever been a part of. I'm estimating winds gusted to 60mph. Maybe 65 max.

Couple that with marbles to quarters getting smashed into the front of the house and stuff flying thru the air..one of the best wx days of my life.

I know.. :weenie:

But man this is what it's all about for me

That is a good weenie statement, but I know what you mean. I've grown apart from thunder, but maybe if an EF3 can suck me up into the -20C layer..it will come back.

Tomorrow looks interesting for some areas...maybe especially central and ern areas. Shear isn't bad at all, and trough is overhead. Could be decent.

Talking about this with someone as we speak. I mentioned I think this could be an eastern MA/RI special tomorrow.

Outflow boundaries from today's storms will play a major factor tomorrow. I also wouldn't be shocked if we saw a few supercells, especially if we get about 1500-2000 J/KG of Cape which is possible.

Sorry for the lack of posting can't wait to give a narrative of today's events. Power still out and my phone is dead so Im on my gfs. I'll upload that video whenever it comes back. Can someone look up the meso site at Scott drive Torrington and see what it gusted to??

Only 36 but this sure looks like a gravity wave pressure fall rise couplet.

Actually I found it on mobile. Says 36 mph gust... No way unless I had a really localized microburst lol

Well the highest winds are always at tree level and localized, how far are you from there. Also despite your beliefs wind speeds are the hardest to estimate. Fully leaved trees easily come down in 50 mph winds.

Yes...very tough to estimate. Winds in SNE are generally so light that we have no frame of reference

Wet microbursts are also very localized too. It could only be half a mile to maybe 2 miles in length....even only a localized gust.
