j24vt Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Nice line of storms coming through Vermont should reach me in a half hour or so. Just came through Stowe. Heavy rain, not much wind (maybe 20s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klw Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 sounds like the rain is starting here. I hope that is what that noise is because if that is moths at the window they must be huge and angry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Looks like bowing NW of ALB. That should be interesting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Another warning issued. This line weakening quickly as it moves E. What looked like 40+dbz returns to the W are just sprinkles as they reach Greenfield. Not a single flash or rumble yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NECT Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Cold front punching into NE CT ... knocking on Kevin's back door Yep. A noticeable change in the temp here to say the least. Was in Brooklyn around 6 tonight. Saw buckets of rain, rapid streams on the sides of the road, frequent CG lightning, and some pea sized hail. Drove a few miles away, literally, and it was bone dry. Down to 55º at home now, down from a high of way to frickin high for May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a single flash or rumble yet. Most of the cells seem fairly discrete and there's not much punch to move them along. Terrain is probably aiding in them hanging up in the Berks.

hypatia Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I saw this photo, posted by Steve LaPointe of WRGB on his Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=537224712982845&set=a.216589778379675.51978.216538205051499&type=1&relevant_count=1 It was taken by a Brett Boyles, in Stuyvesant Falls, Columbia County, New York. I know it's not technically New England, but it's close by so I think it's worth posting. This definitely looks like a funnel to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 That does look like a funnel...and a wall cloud base on either side of it. Pic isn't great, but from what is shown there, it looks like a condensation funnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I would try to get close to it...why not.Tough decision lol.. if I take 91 N its gonna definitely make for a long ride if this thing fizzles. Oh well. Worst case I turn onto 90E. I should be able to tell what its going to do once I hit 90 junction anyways I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Alb line potential? I hate chasing in the dark...can't see anything except lightning..but if you don't mind the dark, might see some hail and wind with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is tough...instability outside of W MA/W CT is nada, however, there is a great deal of MUcape...lapse rates are still steep so while convection may become elevated, it would pose a threat for hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camera manufactures spend 15 years developing sensors that can take smooth noise-free photos. One company shows up and makes adding obnoxious levels of noise trendy. lolz.
