CoastalWx Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Euro is probably overdoing it, but that could be the first nice cooldown of the late summer... towards d8-10 over the Midwest. Even ensembles have hints of it. Lets get that east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Now with that Euro cold pool entering the US we can talk about possible widespread.severe with a gusto. This time of year is tough for severe. We've had some really big events for sure but it seems to me that strong cold fropas end of August into September more often than not are meh. They're certainly more meh than similar fropas in June or early July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 We made it down there in 4 hours and 10 mins leaving at 6:00am. Home took longer cuz we stopped twice. That water slide park was fun but I felt like I was walking on athletes foot everywhere. We did rides 2 nights but only allowed a certain amount of tix . There were 7 kids so we limited it, are the waves always 6-7 feet like that? Everyday they were just monsters in the pic u posted with ur farmers tan the waves were like 1-3 feet max. i would like to see u in 6-7 foot waves. a 6 foot wave generally breaks in 8 feet of water. due to the wave "feeling the bottom" of the sand slowing down increasing in size ...and a 6 foot wave does that in 8 feet of water. so in water at least 2 feet over head. since there were no nor'easters ragin or hurricane swell it was much smaller....even trade swell from say a bermuda high is maybe 3-4 feet max. sorry just waves are something i'm very fond of and people usually over guess there size. not tryin to be harsh not that you would be offended by this post rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yeah after Saturday..severe season is about done Once the SW monsoon season starts it's probably a bit more challenging to advect good EMLs into the Great Lakes/Northeast. My gut is (haven't seen any studies to this effect) but we're able to advect better elevated mixed layers/steep lapse rates into this area and the northern tier of the US earlier in the season prior to the start of monsoon season. While it's not impossible to get very steep lapse rates up here this time of year it's much more difficult than it is in June, for instance.

Guess there just wasn't much of a trigger other than elevated areas. Thought we might be able to pop a few storms. maybe something pops this evening or overnight or something for some lucky towns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just expected there to be more storms and coverage ..not big storms..We only had one or 2 pop in the state. Could see a few more pop this evening with w/f and sea breeze..but most towns stay dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had some really big events for sure but it seems to me that strong cold fropas end of August into September more often than not are meh. They're certainly more meh than similar fropas in June or early July. Agree with all of the above. Boldface is because the biggest hailer of my experience (only saw the aftermath - it was 5-8 miles from MBY) took place 8/30/07. That day featured damaging winds in noontime storms then the main act about 5 PM. That's about the end of it, though, as I average about 1 TS/yr in Sept-Dec (16/yr total, 12 in JJA) and none the past 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The NAO is going down -2.5SD by the 15th. I think that aids in some support for a cool down into the GL and possibly New England near d10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 what's their record i heard DC has been above 95 like 25-30 days this year. paradise lol BDL's record 90+ days is 38 in 1983 followed by 35 in 2002, and 34 in 2010 and 1965. Most 90+ days in 2011 was at Yuma AZ with 181 to go along with their 125 100+ days and 33 110+ days. Imagine living in that climate? I thought Dallas had a hot summer with their 131 90+ days last year then realized that was only good for 24th place on the list of first order climate sites in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
