Typhoon Tip Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Some sporadic severe would be more the character I would expect, that ...and a lot of water! High PWATs in a linear wind shear suggest training of heavy rain showers/thunder. This kind of reminds me of one of those Bahama Express patterns you get in later summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the utter deluge that came through earlier, I'm on the western edge of the rain shield. Up to .45" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 there's a cell pretty close to youYeah I guess that's the one. Surprising how loud the thunder is with it considering its 20+ miles away. The one to the south of it looks like its on trajectory to get here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 A few random rumbles of thunder here from the storms sliding by to the west, no rain here this afternoon quite yet. Still waiting on the sunshine, 70F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Everyone probably sees some amount of rain today. I've been SW winds for awhile now. Got up near 77 here in southie and the DP has risen much since we changed from the E winds. There's even some SBCAPE around. I don't see why these storms/showers wouldn't push east.

TalcottWx Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Someone around that 91 stretch between New Haven-Hartford could see a lot of training. Maybe even Kevin does well. That's a lot of heavy rain lining up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It's been pretty windy here today. Helps keep the seabreeze from coming in. Must have gusted close to 30-35 mph judging by the trees swaying all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will push east eventually but probably not until later this evening when that trough/cold front start sliding east more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Drove through the core of the cell near Newtown, just blinding rain with some good CGs. Barely any wind. Heavy rain training over Danbury where I am now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of heavy rain lining up. Curiously, it seems the the band has backed westward a bit in the last half hour, bringing heavier rains back into my neck of the woods. Not the insant rates I had at the beginning, but decent .2-.3/hr rates aren't too shabby over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think it will take some pretty strong cores to produce big winds...even in those cells earlier with the warning and rotation wind velocities weren't very great despite the rotation. Rotation was pretty high up anyway with some rotation in the llvls at times but nothing TOR worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 One wind report there in SW CT on storm report maps. My favorite parameter is lacking today : ML lapse rates. We never have impressive svr without it. Best lapse rates are already offshore. Just a flooding threat today, typical spring storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Scott or someone with live lightning tracker...need to know how much lightning with that stuff in CT over the past 10-15 minutes. As long as it is raining out we are still having the event but if there is any lightning we can't have it and we're getting swamped at work with phone calls.

moneypitmike Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hey Mike! Nice shot of Times Sq. here in the downpours moving through NYC and Manhattan. I can't imagine how bad the traffic must be with this. Add rain to the mix from lower Fairfiled through New Brunswick, NJ and it's like the entire population has forgotten how to drive. Emily told me you're transferring to Merrimack? Too much jonesing for snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Scooter, how far east does this line go? The line right now? Hartford to Somers or so. Only very slowly moving east, but most elements are moving NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a flooding threat today, typical spring storms. instability blows. Best alignment of overall instability (cape, li), ml lapse-rates and shear seems to be over N and NE MA to SNH. little pocket of 1500j sbcape in that area, too.
