Damage In Tolland Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 We may be able to fire a few storms today over western and central SNe as the sun comes out and the front still to the west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connecticut Appleman Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Just hit 2 inches of rain here in Ellington this morning and the sky is brightening so it must be just about done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 .10 here. Amazing difference a few miles makes The nature of summer storms. I've probably had 1.3" here in all of this while 10 miles se has 4.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I could have gone 1-2 miles west and been in inches of rain this morning lol.. What do you think for rest of today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked hard. I had a late night last night.I guess we could see more storms fire in similar locations across western and central areas today with sun helping out. A few could be strong with enough heating I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 is there even still a front? It's basically almost on Kevins head. Very weak front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 is there even still a front? It seperates 2 roll wipings per sitting to 1 roll wipings per sitting..70's dews to mid 60's dews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. OF PIKE Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 lofl that was good and accurate i think but ya there are some upper 50's dews in W NY state closer to the actual low but those def are not getting here till ....fri nite? maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be cutoff potential late weekend and early next week with the block so strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing too great http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/August-Storm-165759646.html Someone on my blog commented that the MCV was really a smaller vortex embedded in a larger MCV. I think that may be right. I'm not sure the physical process that goes into that though as the MCV acts as a warm core system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what he meant? I think in some shape or form we were talking about this in the form of a meso low type deal....because i honestly didn't have a good feel what to exactly call it.

I think that may be right. I'm not sure the physical process that goes into that though as the MCV acts as a warm core system. Maybe I didn't get to see the best pics, but I wanted to see evidence of 100mph winds. Some of those pics were telling, but I remember when we had the 100mph macroburst in Brockton the tree damage was tremendous...including some structural damage. I didn't really see that in those pics, but again..maybe I didn't see the most damaged areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in some shape or form we were talking about this in the form of a meso low type deal....because i honestly didn't have a good feel what to exactly call it. The MCV here did form a strong mesolow (around 1000 mb) and not all do. So I'm wondering if the strong radar signature we were looking at was just as much the mesolow in the boundary layer as the broader MCV that stretched up into mid levels as well?

Even going back looking at radar, the MCV like system was east of this cell...see the 19z image from OKX on the 10th. This cell developed to the west of this feature. The cell developed to the west of it near HVN and then went to town. http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/radar/displayRad.php?icao=KOKX∏=bref1&bkgr=black&endDate=20120810&endTime=20&duration=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I mean, maybe this was just a tstm that developed within this area and went to town and resulted in a convectively induced meso low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weather01089 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Well a spotter estimated 100 mph. The BOX surveyor went to his house, and came up with 85-100. So much for ragging on the spotter or the report. As for the TOR warning, Look at the damn radar!!! If you don't see tornado potential in that radar signature, then you need to learn about velocity. OKX put out TOR warnings for the south coast of LI and Suffolk cty before the MCV hit Conn. There was GTG numbers off the charts. If you ask anyone under that thing in CT if they feel the TOR was a "cry wolf", they will certainly tell you NO!! The voices of the people reporting it say it all. I may or may not agree with many of the things that BOX does, but issuing a TOR with a storm like that is a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
