Wx4cast Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 You're Welcome! I certainly am Watching that activity in eastern NY moving into CT Last night at work we were talking about how downstate NY and SNE would get crushed today. Perfect withcing if you will. Synoptic + mesoscale features coming together in time and place to perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Sun coming back out here!!! Decent amount of clearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NECT Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 what time did the hail occur and where do you live? do you know what size it was? Woodstock, if the camera clock is correct, 2:54. Judging from the pics, maybe dime to nickel size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hildy Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 how big was the hail and what time did it occur? pea size hail, 2:45, Nehoiden golf course, Wellesley. Boy, this storm seems to have stalled. Another deluge band just passed through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synoptic + mesoscale features coming together in time and place to perfection. When I saw your post regarding the leftover boundaries and such this morning I became a little more worried. If llvl shear today was a bit stronger things really would have been way more interesting as we would have seen a much greater tornado threat. Actually, those cells about to work into western CT are moving into an area of enhanced helicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Heavy heavy rain. Must be close to if not over an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hildy Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hildy what towns please! Still Wellesley, just farther west--it generally stinks out by the Wellesley/Natick/Framingham area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 NW Ma. completely shut out. Hope we can get some showers to pop up tonight. Was in Northampton w/ the family, sky turned real dark around 3pm but then began to clear up w/o a drop of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Why were the winds meh with a lot of the cells today? I know they were impressive in some cells, but some of the other cells which looked pretty beefy barely gusted past 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Heavy heavy rain. Must be close to if not over an inch. You think those storms in E NY hold together here? I wonder why your area has all those storms and they died out here? We really need those to make it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Andy and/or Scott, Any thoughts on that round of convection about to enter western CT? Sun is really out strong across these parts again and with still warm low-level airmass in place temps should warm back up and we should be able to remove some of that CIN that developed with earlier storms. Think we see any of that get severe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they were huge yesterday X the A'dacks and even last night with the stornger cells and rainers that occurred after dark. Today is a classic case where a "decent" day actually over achieves when you factor in the little things interacting with the bigger ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they were impressive in some cells, but some of the other cells which looked pretty beefy barely gusted past 30. had a 31 MPH gust out of the west at 243 pm but storms missed us at work, raining now.

We really need those to make it here Yeah it's possible, but they seem to be meandering. We just had a combo of good convergence and shear sustaining updrafts today. Sometimes storms cluster in an area where multiple outflows are around. Those NY storms may miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Kevin, You have any sun right now? Yes it's sunny..but at this time of the day it doesn't matter. i don't like the SE motion of the rains in E NY/W CT. We may get totally hosed. I only had .11 from the storm earlier.

Today is a classic case where a "decent" day actually over achieves when you factor in the little things interacting with the bigger ones. Just like what occurred on July 21st(?) two years ago where a really decent setup was further enhanced by small-scale boundaries across CT and we had 4 small tornadoes that day...although some will argue it was just one tornado that skipped and what not but anyways we had several small-scale features which interacted perfectly with the larger scale features.

Snowlover76 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Total Rainfall today: .000000 inches Screwzone! SAME!!!! Not even drizzle here!!! At least you don't have a warned cell that is only about a mile or two to your north and it is moving due east, because that is the worst type of screwzone.
