ChiWxWatcher Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Man, tornadoes in Brooklyn...this situation is getting crazy already. What's even more frightening is that we haven't even reached the peak of the storms yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Those storms are definitely firing on a theta-e boundary. NAM had a nice job on that...well even the GFS too I guess. Look at the obs in CT especially BDL and up to BOS too. Tds are dropping because the boundary layer is not moist enough yet, so the lower dews aloft are mixing out a bit. But closer to the south coast and especially down by JFK, the boundary layer is richer with dews in the low 70s. I think as this moves northeast...that is where the risk of more rotating storms are possible. Might be something where the srn end of this line has the better potential of anything. Still not sure if this threat increases, or is this one of those one time moments where conditions maximize like they did near NYC...and the threat remains steady state through the aftn as it moves NE? Maybe another LI special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 No Tolland county? LOL. No GC either. Interesting to see the NYC blob on a trajectory to get GC. I wonder if it might hold together for another 80 miles. inquiring minds want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's event just shifted much more to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's event just shifted much more to the east. This morning stuff is a little better than I thought yesterday...at least in the NYC area so far. I mean I can see why it occurred, but looking at everything yesterday..it was tough to tell if it would be batch of shwrs with iso tstms....or will it be more discrete.

Superstorm93 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 634 CONTINUES. SUMMARY...DAMAGING WIND THREAT SHOULD PERSIST WITHIN WW 634 ALONG A THIN FRONTAL SQUALL LINE CURRENTLY IN SWRN NY. ALONG WITH THE SRN EXTENT OF THE LINE IN WRN PA AND WV...THIS QLCS SHOULD INTENSIFY RAPIDLY AS IT REACHES THE INSTABILITY AXIS FROM NRN VA TO CNTRL NY IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN THE DAMAGING WIND THREAT EXPECTED. A DOWNSTREAM TORNADO WATCH IS ANTICIPATED FOR WFO BTV/ALY/BGM AND A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS EXPECTED FOR CTP/LWX/PHI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Any chance that the storms/rain that look like they will move in are enough to stabilize the atmosphere and help to avoid severe weather in Eastern Connecticut?

Sugarloaf1989 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Get in the basement I doubt there will be the need for that and Taunton thinks so as well: AM NOT CONFIDENT WITH THE LINE SUSTAINING INTO ERN NEW ENGLAND. FEEL WITH THE STRONGEST FORCING LIFTING NEWD WITH THE MAIN SHRTWV TROUGH INTO THE ST LAWRENCE RVR VLY THAT THE SQUALL-LINE WILL DISSIPATE IN STRENGTH AS IT APPROACHES THE E COASTLINE AND MORE STABLE MARITIME AIR.
