ma blizzard Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Funny, when I lived in Shrewsbury I encountered the same thing, then I move and the winter of '10-11 is epic in SNE, then tornadoes the following summer, etc... and I am now in metro Denver and experiencing the driest, least stormy (except for one good night with epic hail a couple months ago) year in like forever. "A watched atmosphere never boils"...WTF?? i have lived in shrewsbury for the past 16 years and it seems like t-storms have a knack of weakening or missing right to the north or south. i have never seen severe criteria wind (5/98 I wasn't home) and never severe criteria hail. Ive actually only witnessed hail here 3 times imby and never larger than peas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 On my walk to Prosect I was thinking...what if that feature went straight up through the CT Valley south to north where Helicity would have been even further enhanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Geezus look at the baro traces , both from Glastonbury. That's a trop storm trace. Really fascinating! I had to look at my own graphs (KCTSTAFF4) and even though I was about 10 miles east of the center, you can see a similar dip, increase in wind and precip. Take a look though at this station in Somers which would have been due north (perhaps slightly east) of the one you posted and you can see a similar signature: http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KCTSOMER4 Here's one south of Somers in Ellington: http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KCTELLIN2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold214 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Down on eastern li at my folks house. Got missed by the meat of the action today...some decent thunder and some wind...maybe G40 mph or so. Couplets went either to the west or east of me. Rainfall rate was obscene though. I havent felt this type of soup in awhile...77/74 at 11 pm here. Meanwhile...checking on my davis tipping bucket back in maine shows 2.36" for the day.

Turtle Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Missed all the fun while driving to Salem, CT. Awful drive on I-295 & Rt 6. Torrential rains and lots of road flooding. I-395 was where it cleared up around Ginxs area. Few spotty showers from there on out. Was listening to WBZ on the way down when the TOR warning went up and saw the radar image while n Salem. That looked schweet. As Eleanor said, looks like close to 1.7" fell here, with gusts to 40mph. Not bad. It's steamy out there right now. I actually love nights like this after a t-storm rolls through. Bob and gang, Well, I did investigate the damage reports on Tremont Street (Route 140 but S of where it renames to Short St.). This is located north of downtown Taunton, just N of the Mulcahey Middle School (for those that know Taunton). I was half expecting the damage to be caused by lightning. BOY, was I wrong!!! I ended up running into TWO TV crews (Channels 5 and 25), turning into an impromptu storm survey. Several large healthy trees were uprooted behind one house, landing on four vehicles parked in the driveway behind this house. Several more trees were downed onto the house next door. Then, the next house up, noted large branches, actually a large section of the top of another tree was taken out. Winds also took down several more large branches, one hanging by a thread over the driveway of a house across the street. The owner of that house told me that her child's plastic playhouse was blown across the street, which I indeed saw outside that house. I was pretty amazed, considering I was about 5 miles SE of this damage, and saw only very heavy rainfall and a LOT of lightning strikes very close to my condo. Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera and it was getting dark by the time I arrived. I still got briefly interviewed by Channel 25 which aired this evening. I'm heading back first thing in the morning to get photos to document this event about 2 miles S of KBOX. On a side note, our cats were really spooked. Unfortunately, we lost our beautiful 13 YO orange tabby, Charly, quite suddenly 2 weeks ago. Vet says he had acute anemia, likely due to bleeding caused by stomach cancer. While the hub and I are so sad about losing Charly, we have new member of the family, a long haired orange tabby/tiger kitten we named Ollie (4 months). Relating back to today, Ollie was really scared, especially the LOUD BOOM that hit very, very close to the condo. However, it was strange that the folks that got hit by the damage didn't notice much lightning. I should be able to determine what caused the damage tomorrow when I return to work and get a good look at the radar data. --Turtle P.S. Almost forgot...looks like there were rainfall amounts around 3 inches in the same area as this wind damage, or close to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy crap. Destroyed a tree, travelled underground creating a 25 foot long, 2 foot wide, 1 foot deep trench, then destroying part of a deck Hello Diane and Dave! I was hoping someone saw me out there! The hub and I watched it together. Considering I had no makeup on, and a very old, hang around the house shirt on, didn't come out half bad. Yes, Dave, that was VERY amazing what the lightning did in Foxboro!! Glad I wasn't there...oh my! --Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Looks like today will at least start with a bit of sun. A bit foggy but sky is birghtening and the moon out above. Perhaps that will help destablilize things a bit. More importantly, should make for much better race conditions than I had feared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Could see some lightning and nice struture to those storms near the Cape as I went into work. Wiz, was looking at some stuiff too....some good articles out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Not for nothing, but they may be another weak wave or triple point tomorrow over SE MA. These things are latent heat machines, so a warm body of water aids them. Sometimes in winter storms, you can see them way SE of BID or a place like that. Little meso low thingys...you see them on radar at least a few times a year. Today looks conditional again, but we got some sun. Maybe western areas best chance for anything good? For now, best LLJ is near the cape which is why those storms are there and to the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
