ct_yankee Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 That thing is really moving! GRlevel3 reported a speed of 68kts for the bow - no, wait, now it's 82 knots! Sure, these numbers aren't really the actual forward speed, but they tell me it's damn fast, whatever the real number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 This line is likely going to cause some considerable damage to trees and limbs that were weakened during the snowstorm last October. It won't take much to snap off hanging limbs. Hopefully people don't have any long term outages down in CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 728pm MCD --- interesting comment on propagation of northern end of QLCS and interaction with warm front boundary: MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1616 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0628 PM CDT THU JUL 26 2012 AREAS AFFECTED...GREATER NYC METRO AREA/SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND NJ/FAR EASTERN PA CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 527... VALID 262328Z - 270100Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 527 CONTINUES. SUMMARY...SEVERE TSTM WATCH 527 CONTINUES UNTIL 03Z...WITH APPRECIABLE SHORT-TERM CONCERN FOR WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS INTO THE GREATER NYC METRO AREA/SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND MUCH OF NJ WITH AN ONGOING SEVERE MCS/DERECHO. AN ADDITIONAL SEVERE TSTM WATCH MAY BE NEEDED FOR A PART OF SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND INCLUDING RHODE ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA. DISCUSSION...WELL-ORGANIZED/MATURE WIND-PRODUCING BOW ECHO/DERECHO CONTINUES TO QUICKLY RACE EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST NY/SOUTHWEST NEW ENGLAND AND PA/NJ BORDER VICINITY AS OF 2320Z. A 51 KT WIND GUST WAS MEASURED WITHIN THE PAST HOUR /2230Z/ AT NEWBURGH/STEWART NY. A WELL-ORGANIZED COLD POOL...WITH 20+ DEG F TEMPERATURE DEFICITS AND +3 MB/2 HR PRESSURE RISES...REMAINS READILY EVIDENT ACROSS EASTERN PA AS OF 23Z....WITH QLCS WAKE/REAR INFLOW WINDS ALSO EVIDENT IN WSR-88D VWPS. GIVEN THESE STORM-SCALE FACTORS/TRENDS...APPRECIABLE POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE FOR CORRIDORS OF WIND DAMAGE INTO THE GREATER NYC METRO AREA/NJ AND SOUTHWEST NEW ENGLAND WHERE TEMPERATURES REMAIN WARM /80S F AS OF 23Z/. WITH CONTINUED POTENTIAL FOR ASYMMETRIC/BOOKEND EVOLUTIONS ON THE NORTH END OF THE QLCS...SOME SEVERE WIND THREAT MAY DEVELOP EAST/PERHAPS NORTHEASTWARD INTO ADDITIONAL PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND SUCH AS RI/SOUTHEAST MA. EVEN WITH COOLER/MARINE INFLUENCES...FACTORS SUCH AS EXISTING ORGANIZATION OF THE QLCS AND THE APPROACHING WARM FRONT/SOUTHWESTERLY BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW COULD PROMPT AN ADDITIONAL WATCH ISSUANCE PENDING SHORT-TERM CONVECTIVE TRENDS. ..GUYER.. 07/26/2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Underwhelming here. About 15 minutes of gusty winds and rain. Winds gusted to about 40. yes that was very underwhelming the storm we had a couple weeks ago was much more impressive. Winds were a real let down, but happy to have power.
