weatherwiz Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 While a few strong storms can't be ruled out, especially tonight...we should see some pretty heavy rainfalls. Wouldn't be surprised to see some areas pick up 2-3'' of rain, if not even more on a local scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Ryan, What time do you think we start to see the heavier rainfall move in? We have Hershey track tonight at 5 and when I go into work my boss is going to ask me what I think. The WRF shows the steadier/heavier axis of rainfall arriving around 7 PM but I'm thinking we could certainly see some more widespread activity move in prior to that. I know we're going to see on and off showers/t'storms during the day which is fine...obviously lightning would cancel it but if it's just hit and miss showers or on and off that isn't an issue.

Typhoon Tip Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Meh on today I was impressed to find that the BD air mass is STILL plaguing NE MA. There's like no support for it synoptically, yet it persists. Btw, nice reporting on the false storm report. I tried to tell Weatherwiz and gang the day those images were posted that it was just a beaver tale feature, and wasn't associated/connect with an organized meso, and got a lot of "I don't -- looks legit to me". Nice to have that validated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 How many tornado warnings today? Can we go 3/3? Looking at the sat/rad trends alone suggests that the threat is shifting away from that and more toward heavy rain. Deep layer flow appears to have lost the direction component to helicity.

N. OF PIKE Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 That scud pic from vortex 95 reminds me that on that evening i was driving north on 95 and was trying to get pics as it was on the northside of the highway by a cpl miles near / north of woburn exits. Look'd beautiful but trees/buildings sort ruin the viewing to an extent. Then i recall it absolutely began to pour 20 mins later in wakefield,ma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Well this secondary warm front has the really juicy air mass behind it. It just went thru here. There's enough breaks to destabilize a bit it looks like, though I still think the severe threat is more in far western areas down into PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
