powderfreak Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well I've been out for the past two hours but that FROPA here was extremely tame despite the "heavy" red reflectivities on radar. There may have been a gust or two in the upper 30s range right before the rain, but all in all, the synoptic winds ahead of the front were more impressive than the actual front. We were seeing some cranking gusts out of the south all afternoon, and the mountain was getting 50mph+ southerly flow. Then the rain started and it all died down quickly... not even much lightning and thunder with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hope for the strongest and damaging wind..and see what we get AT 703 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUED TO INDICATE A LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH A HISTORY OF PRODUCING DOWNED TREES AND POWER LINES. THE LINE STRETCHED FROM NORTHWEST OF ANTRIM NEW HAMPSHIRE SOUTHWEST TO SWANZEY AND SOUTHWEST TO GREENFIELD...NORTHAMPTON...WESTFIELD...AND SIMSBURY AND FARMINGTON CONNECTICUT. THE LINE WAS MOVING TO THE EAST AT 40 MPH. THE STORMS WILL BE MARCHING ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE... CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS...AND CENTRAL CONNECTICUT.

powderfreak Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Downpouring and gusty winds here in Plymouth, NH. Nothing like the winds I saw when I hiked Mount Osceola at 4300' earlier today. Must've been gusting 50-55. Edit 7:22...rain is just moderate. Didn't see any lightning but it did pour for 6-7 minutes. Yeah the winds ahead of the front all afternoon were the real story... lots of boating issues on Lake Champlain and Lake George due to consistent 30-50mph winds out of the south. One of the buoy stations just off Burlington had a 1-minute average of 46mph earlier. Mountains were getting cranked with 40-60kts in the 3-5k foot range all afternoon. Mt Mansfield's highest was 49G65 at the station at 3,900ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radarman Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 LOL--it's intermingled with reports. Still getting occassional lightning, but nothing noteworthy. Settled down to 58/56 with just light rain now. 1.30" in the bucket. We're up to .6" and should add a couple tenths before all is said and done. Speaking of done, barring something really anomalous our next SNE tracking thread will probably be for a 6-10" Miller B. Wish I could fast forward.

moneypitmike Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I had a peak wind of 26mph at my 7" siting. I'm sure it was much higher. I wish I could site accurately--a pet peeve. Pretty much done here with 1.33". 58/57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Two bright flashes of lightning and some drizzle so far. Run of the mill summer thunderstorms offer more weather excitement than this squall line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisM Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 This is going as most of us thought. 35kt gusts? Lol you think what is happening reflects a 45% hatched risk?

snowman21 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Surprised BOX hasn't extended the watch to the RI border; then again from reports most gave above, doesn't seem like it is much That's because BOX doesn't generally issue the watches, among the other most obvious reasons.

eekuasepinniW Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 What an amusingly anticlimactic ending. Moderate rain, gust to 35mph, and not even one single distant visible flash of lightning. Kind of expected more from a moderate risk that is on target to have covered every square inch of VT and NH with a severe t-storm warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 I did see a wall cloud which lasted for about 10-15 seconds then just got sucked in...had real weak rotation and i managed to grab a pic..will post when I upload it to facebook.

ChrisM Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 As most mets thought for SNE meaning no big deal. We said this since yesterday. Yes, thats why the spc had a 45% hatched and a d2 mod risk. I applaudyou and the few other mets who threw the caution flag but a lot of people were expecting something huge. Cant say most..maybe most mets but not most in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Radar shows the line of Phail has arrived but all that is happening outside right now is a bit of heavy rain. No thunder/lightning or high winds to report. At least Taunton was sensible enough not to hoist tornado watches/warnings for my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself, Ryan, and Phil agreed in the best action west. We said this yesterday. S/w moves north away from SNE, jet streak is a little too far nw, and lapse rates blow. Good luck hoping for the line self sustaining due to pure outflow and no help aloft. Winds to 35-40kts were expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
