Total gut feeling says as that Litchfield storm hits the valley it drops a TOR

Kev here are "initial" conditions from th 1PM RAP model. I centered the maps on BDL

This one is EHI (along with 1000 &700 mb winds) picks up the "twist" well on both the storms moving to Litch. Co., CT & the one North of Boston

WOW!! That was fun. Took a drive up the road a bit just as the cell was getting it's act together up here. One of the most ominous looking skies I have seen. Scud everywhere. BEST lightning display I have ever seen. I was under the core just as the updraft must have really been strengthening. The rain drops that were coming down were about the size of golf balls. Followed the backside of the storm for a while. Just couldn't catch up. Pretty tough terrain to try to chase in up here. Lightning was amazing from backside. Gave up when I ran into towns with no power. Nobody knows how to drive then.

Pretty good NE wind here.

I may be cooked here as I feared. Looks really good just south and southwest. Unless the real front fires stuff to the NW.

Scott,

2 of the best severe storms I've ever witnessed were near Sandy Hook, NJ after a sea breeze front came through an hr+ beforehand...I recall both times thinking, mehh there goes our severe threat today..but both times the storms blew up upon arrival, and I got to watch a shelf cloud form as well...then 60 mph winds off the Raritan Bay. I'm not completely surprised we saw ne Mass get completely slammed by the best storm on the map today. Definitely a nice hook with that cell offshore now too

Looking like we're about to fill in that precip free area in Norfolk County. Rapidly changing in Norwood. Lots of dark cloud bases forming in the past 15 min. All the boundaries coming together right here??

Could be interesting in about an hour. Coastal Front along with the outflow from that cell N of BOS. Sky has definitely gotten that look to it in the last 15-20 min.

I'd like to report moderate flooding on main street melrose one quarter block north of lynn fells way in shopping center on west side or road (johnnys supermkt). Wow!

Please send your report to the following website:

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/box/spotterreportdisc.html

NWS Taunton would appreciate your flooding report. If you have an approximate time, that would help as well. Make sure you mention you reported this on AMWX.

Thanks.

Yeah I mentioned earlier in the post as long as the front fires storms to the NW, and the shear is adequate it should be ok. Indeed it was as the seabreeze front was shallow enough. I was more concerned about the seabreeze front sort of acting as the cold front. Too often I've seen the seabreeze front hold storms in check, but 50kts of wrly shear will tell you not to worry.
