Beautiful picture.

I don't get too jazzed over severe events as--due to their hit/miss nature, more often than not, most of us 'enjoy from the sidelines' Reading yhour enthusaism here though has me raising an eyebrow.

Congrats, Andy. :) I for one don't have a burning desire for a tornado to rip through my yard, so I don't mind that setting up west of NE. Just give me some good straight-line winds and I'll be fine.

TKs Mike u may very well get your wish

Well As a few of us thought was possible yesterday..here it is

THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN SUGGESTS

THE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIAL-TYPE DERECHO EVENT...CHARACTERIZED BY

WIDESPREAD AND SIGNIFICANT DAMAGING WINDS.

Kev wasn't Leslie supposed to hit SNE today? :P

Derecho in a HSLC event? ok.....

Why don't you do some research on "off" season severe weather seriously

one of the biggest issues for getting a derecho classification will be that the area under risk is not much larger than the minimum criteria for the wind swath.. .so you're going to need to maximize potential immediately then run the gamut.

Ian, the QLCS will probably wind up extending outside the bounds of the MOD risk area so the classification maybe met

For meh lapse rates Ncape values actually aren't that bad...up around 0.2 suggesting more in the way of a fatter Cape profile as opposed to tall and skinny.

Wiz, the ALB 12z RAOB has the DCAPES over 900 and +CAPE around 1300.

Tornado Watch coming soon

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1927

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

0939 AM CDT SAT SEP 08 2012

AREAS AFFECTED...HUDSON VALLEY...SWRN NEW ENGLAND

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY

VALID 081439Z - 081645Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...80 PERCENT

SUMMARY...A CORRIDOR OF PRE-FRONTAL DISCRETE SUPERCELLS SHOULD

EVOLVE OUT OF A NARROW BAND OF TSTMS INVOF THE NEW YORK CITY METRO.

THE RISK FOR SUSTAINED ROTATING UPDRAFTS WILL INCREASE WITH

ATTENDANT TORNADO AND DAMAGING WIND THREATS.

DISCUSSION...A FEW CELLS WITHIN A NARROW BAND OF TSTMS IN THE

TRI-STATE AREA HAVE EXHIBITED TRANSIENT/WEAK LOW-LEVEL ROTATION

DURING THE PAST HOUR OR SO. THIS ACTIVITY APPEARS TO BE FORCED ALONG

THE LEADING EDGE OF ROBUST LOW-LEVEL WARM THETA-E ADVECTION.

ALTHOUGH 0-1 KM SHEAR WAS ONLY AROUND 15-20 KT PER OKX/DIX VWP

DATA...THIS SHOULD COMPARATIVELY STRENGTHEN AS THE ACTIVITY EVOLVES

NWD THROUGH THE DAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HUDSON VALLEY. IN

CONJUNCTION WITH GRADUAL SURFACE HEATING AMIDST UPPER 60S TO LOWER

70S SURFACE DEW POINTS...SUFFICIENT BUOYANCY SHOULD EXIST FOR

ROTATING UPDRAFTS TO BECOME SUSTAINED FOR LONGER DURATION AND LIKELY

INTENSIFY...WITH THE PRIMARY RISK OF A FEW TORNADOES.

..GRAMS/THOMPSON.. 09/08/2012

LOL...we get it. You don't like what Coastal, ChrisRotary, Ryan, and Ian said about storms weakening as they push into New England.

Of course he twists it. We were talking about the line later on. We all talked about the leading shwrs/tstms yesterday but it's possible that may be more of the show.

Yeah I was too. Shear strengthens rapidly next few hours.

Can't wait to see the 11 AM obs to see if we got dewpoints to boost back up...if we can get them to 70F or higher before that stuff comes given the storng heating we've had instability would get a major boost...would maybe be looking at 1500 J/KG or close to 2000.

Still not the reason for the mod risk so far east but perhaps academic. We were looking this over yesterday and there was a hint for sure. But, always kinda hard to believe I suppose.

This will probably have better CAPE than the line later on. Mid level temps will probably be cooler now actually.

Lack of cap somewhat apparent so far. Kind of a messy radar. Early tho of course can improve.

This will probably have a messy mode if they organize more I suppose. Maybe the srn end of the line is better looking as it has all the good stuff to tap into on srly flow. A little unsure how this develops. Maybe more of a messy cluster with a few that exhibit some rotation? Nothing impressive to me quite yet, but early like you said.
