CoastalWx Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Still hard to believe we had a landphoon in SNE yesterday. Crazy when you sit back and think about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I was at the West Farms Mall yesterday when that severe stuff moved through. It wasn't that much there (just some heavy rain). I think the worst must have passed to the east of my location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 ?? Just joshing...he called it a landphoon, you said no, then caved Phil and Ryan (and HM?) Had good early calls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Just joshing...he called it a landphoon, you said no, then caved Phil and Ryan (and HM?) Had good early calls... I don't think it is a landphoon. I think it worked out to be mostly a sultan event which is what we said early on. That rogue MCV is tough to forecast, but we mentioned those tstms in the morning down by the Delmarva could be ours later. The WRF model Ryan and I look at did a good job with that overall.

HoarfrostHubb Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Well...actually to be fair Steve, I guess it may be close...I don't know how or if the terminology is official..or what the specifications are. Landphoon just sounds like a weenie phrase so I'm not sure. I thought you called me maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I thought you called me maybe I don't know if that's even a technical term. It sounds like a broad brush name for something like this, but this was a mesoscale feature so a term like landphoon imho seems like a misnomer. It's probably semantics anyways....doesn't take away from this cute feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I think we were more concerned about all those cells showing rotation early on, hence that comment. I'm interested to see what BOX finds in CT. It looked like straight line possible on radar, but maybe a spin up occurred. Also, Taunton had something move through as well.

CT Rain Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Where did landphoon come from??? The weenies are coming up with weather terms now? While those plots Ginx posted are pretty cool I think they're not terribly surprising given the presence of a mesolow that tracked through the region. While all of this wasn't typical we do see these in the NE from time to time. I was more surprised the MCV was able to produce svr weather here... normally they seem to pass through with little fanfare in this part of the country.

The vast majority of the CT damage was straight line winds. I think there could have been a spin up in South Glastonbury where there was a bit of gate the gate shear in the broader area of rotation.

Erin in 2007 was a different beast. This was an MCV that occurred here when the atmosphere was favorable for severe weather given enough forcing. Decent instability and strong low level shear through the MCV's track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Lee Roth from HPC actually uses the term landcane.http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/research/roth/landcane.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Erin was a freak of nature...lol. Indeed it was lol Yesterday was the perfect day for this MCV to produce damage. It enhanced an already strengthening LLJ and tapped into sufficient instability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Indeed it was lol Yesterday was the perfect day for this MCV to produce damage. It enhanced an already strengthening LLJ and tapped into sufficient instability. Yeah good set of ingredients came together for that. We have those happen time to time in SNE....I think yesterday though was a more extreme case of it so it got more attention. Any little low pressure this time of year moving into SNE can have one of the features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 It was a landphoon. Textbook case of it Well it's not a technical term. I'm not sure what's wrong with using the real term MCV.
