radarman Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Given how little instability we have up here and the obvious weakening of the echoes I can say with some confidence that there's not a heck of a lot going on of note. But this type of event is an incredible challenge for a radar operator... as much as almost any I've seen. Even a few hours ago down in CT where there actually was a chance of tornadic spinups it would've been maddening. In most cases, little vortices we can pick up fairly easily because synoptically one can pinpoint where they might be: certain places on the leading edge of a squall line, or embedded in mini-hooks in weak supercells. But this is freakin roulette with so many mini-couplets and such complex flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Seems from that radar display winds were very impressive over and just east of hfd. Landphoon died out n of 84. Hopefully rev got pics.

Turtle Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Noted the report of tree down in Taunton. Could have been caused by lightning. Was offline with computer down for about 1/2 hour due to a few VERY VERY close lightning strikes here at the abode. Torrential rain lasted about 25-30 minutes, then ended. Unfortunately, no rain gauge here (in a condo), but saw report of about 1.6" or so at KTAN (I'm about 2 miles W as the crow flies), 1.27" between about 5-6 PM. Rather impressive storm, though did not note any gusty winds here. Wiz, did you hear where that tree was down here in Taunton? If you can find out, that would be great. I'm sure they are still swamped at KBOX right now and really don't want to bother them. Thanks! --Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Correction...downed wires only on Shore St...there was a tree with wires down on Fremont St. Paul, Think that is going to be Shore Drive, near Lake Sabbatia. Very close to Fremont Street as well. No Shore Street on Google Maps. Shore Drive only about 1/2 mile E of Fremont. Dave is right about Short Street, in the N end of Taunton (route 140), and that isn't too far away from those other two streets either. Weird, but those three streets could be connected in a W-E line not far S of KBOX. --Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 True but it is comical to see no warning for the thing until it crosses into a new CWA and doesn't look any better than before. I have a feeling most of the damage is straight line wind damage. Rotation was awfully broad.... there was virtually no gate to gate shear for a while with a very broad rotation over 10-20 km. I thought those were automated, though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Heh, we can't buy a thunderstorm up here along Rt 2. Ever since that renegade unseasonable supercell came rolling down the Mohawk Trail in late March with overlapping thunderclaps and 1 inch hail, I really don't recall hearing thunder here at my house since. Down in Westborough at the office we've had several decent thunderstorm days this summer but it seems like the atmosphere has some physical property to decay convection anywhere close to norther Worcester and northern Middlesex, but only when I am here, interestingly. I was in Michigan last week and saw back-building severe convection on radar up this way, so missed it. Then today, nice wall of death coming north and poof... I don't think we got more than .75" of rain and it was all gentle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 There is no power at my house in Coventry right now and it's been out since 4:15pm. The police have Dunn Rd closed off which is my local street. I guess a tree or some branches came down as we had some really high wind gusts for an extended period of time.
