CT Rain Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 When a moderate risk is put across SNE, it will get people excited no matter what...even if we say we don't really expect that kind of damage happening. The SPC are the pros that issue the forecasts and they do a great job over most areas. I think sometimes their forecasts can be pulled back a bit over the northeast. Yeah for the most part their mod verified... it was just that eastern area that didn't. The mets on here pretty much nailed the threat and it verified AWT. Anytime OKX issues 8 tornado warnings in 1 day (which I believe is a record for them) that's a pretty solid convective day IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The morning really stole the show and was better than I even thought. I think we even said this may be the best show of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I've learned SNE mets are the bomb and weatherwiz had a meltdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was surprised it was that good. I thought we would see some convection out ahead of the main line but not that far ahead. I guess it's the right time of year for something like that with no CIN for sb parcels.

I thought it was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 mostly light storms, isolated flash of lightning and scattered downpours. Strongly agree. ..... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HM Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The squall line basically blew down my way for the reasons several others have already pointed out. It was very disappointing indeed. However, the morning round of low-topped supercells in E NJ / SE NY / CT were awesome. This is like the 2nd or 3rd time storms got going over me early in the morning and then would go on to produce surface-based supercells / tornadoes just off to the Northeast. It was a good week overall for severe. The Mt. Ephraim tornado and those associated thunderstorms were nasty. I was driving through them and the rain was the heaviest I've seen all year.

forkyfork Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 this kind of reminds me of the jan 05 blizzard in that a kicker system forced the initial s/w further north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
