lakeeffectkid383 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 well i'm pretty sure the dry soil in our backyards wasn't going to make or break the day lol. I'm very happy with a dewpoint of 71...that's pretty damn juicy. I wasnt saying that whatever little moisture was left would contribute to the thunderstorms lol. I was just saying that the soil is just getting even dryer than it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying that the soil is just getting even dryer than it was. If anything is going to mess this up it will be marginal large scale lift. Southern Canada/Northern NY has good lift with the shortave right now...that's why they are getting storms and areas further west and southwest are not.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Scorcher today...not sure why it took ALB until mid-afternoon to issue a Heat Advisory. Perhaps they were banking on some lower dews today? Would be nice to get a nice light show tonight, we'll see if any of the convection along that line entering NNY can hold together. Friday is looking pretty awesome...temps only in the 70's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adk Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Nice line of storms along the leading edge of a cold front and upper level disturbance. Nothing insane but I bet the northern adirondacks are getting it good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 98 at ALB for the 4pm ob. That makes it the hottest day of the summer thus far I believe? Can't remember if we got this warm during the hot spell at the end of June or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYWeather Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 95.6° for me in Westmoreland. Heat index got to 101. Griffiss (KRME) hit 97 this afternoon. Radar here is clear for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Wowww! Can see quite a light show from the top of the hill at Buffalo and Quaker street looking to the north! Awesome! Must be a flash literally every 1-2 seconds, and its 50 miles to my north. Anyone else around BUF watching this spactacular show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 getting some frequent lightning to my NW now. these are the kind of summer nights I enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Ive had the great pleasure of playing some softball while watching that line pop over the lake Ontario shore. Amazingly illuminated vertical cloud growth under the setting sun, it was incredible. Prodigious amounts of lightning as well... That outflow boundary is going to be a tricky bastard now.... I still have some potential for it to blow up a little as things converge near the Roc, but this thing is looking a touch blown out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 nice gap to the nw...christ That outflow boundary is gonna **** us over. Its gonna stabalize the air for the metro plus we still got that lake breeze. Convection is dying to the NW. Best convection will probably stay north of route 104 where the best convergence seems to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 In the death throes of that storm complex last night, a small line developed and gave us a .32" T storm ...around midnight. So add it up and got some drought relief... Sat: .40" Sun .25" Tue/Wed: .32" But the first two installments dried up really fast when the searing sun hit it. Same out this way....radars were cranking just to my west last evening, heading this way....and our area ended up with a 30 second shower....literally.

DeltaT13 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Some interesting stuff on the Chautauqua ridge....almost looks like some sort of lake enhanced, orographic lift scemario....and they are getting dumped on pretty hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Some interesting stuff on the Chautauqua ridge....almost looks like some sort of lake enhanced, orographic lift scemario....and they are getting dumped on pretty hard. Ya with the lake being 77 degrees and the temps up on the ridge in the 50s no doubt theyre getting some enhancement/orographic lift. Got almost 1/10th of an inch now, not alot but anything helps and its a light but steady rain. Just checked the high temp for tomorrow and the NWS is showing 70 for me. That will be very welcome. Also to my surprise the current temp here is only 60.6. Perfect weather for this time of year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
