weatherwiz Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I think we have to wait for the VT action. Waiting on 00z soundings though. I just asked b/c helicty is fairly impressive here so if we were to see a discrete cell that can bust the cap it could go wild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 They looked great right from the get go. A buddy driving home just called and is on his third reroute to try and get home to southern Chittenden County south of BTV from Waterbury area... all fun stuff aside it sounds like there are a lot of trees down on many of the country roads in the path of that storm. That sounds like a pretty impressive path for strong winds from the lake into the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 What are you thinking for down here scooter lapooter? Well I'm not really looking at much other than radar since I'm just on the phone. Western ct might be a little too far west but it will come down to just watching radar and seeing if storms are able to develop near Albany as far as you go.

Mips Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Sounds of distant thunder here in northeastern MA (North Andover/Boxford/Middleton corner). Radar shows a loose line of storms moving down from the north west heading right towards us, having worked their way down from NH. The nature of the storm has changed from the big red blob north of Concord NH a few hours ago to a string of smaller red blobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ct_yankee Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I just asked b/c helicty is fairly impressive here so if we were to see a discrete cell that can bust the cap it could go wild I think any severe is becoming increasingly unlikely for CT. CIN is increasing per SPC mesoanalysis and now even the low level lapse rates are unimpressive. You'd need serious forcing at this point to take advantage of all that shear. Would love to be proven wrong on this, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my phone now at Prospect Pizza so hard to look at lots of stuff but yeah I agree...this cap just not breaking here and that cluster is sendin off latent heat in the mlvl hurting us more probably...only hope is that it continues to ride Along its cold pool and stronger shear and can survive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hoping to get clipped by that stuff NW of Albany but it looks pretty lame. I'll be sleeping so I don't really care about the storms but some rain would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Radar out of gray showed a tornado signature with that storm as it was passing over South Portland and Scarborough. obviously it wasn't a tornado just rotation in the storm. I was standing in the parking lot outside my office and was watching it and the 1st thing I thought of was to bad Wiz couldn't see this. Hefty thunderstorm just leaving Portland ME area. Frequent lightening, approx. 40 MPH winds, and some torrential rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
