powderfreak Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 It looks like that couplet has died down now just a bit, though that was certainly something on the ground at least briefly.... that's actually right near Logan11's place... he's on the Schenectady/Albany County line in that NW corner of Albany county.

wxmanmitch Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Continuous live coverage on the Albany, NY TV stations covering the TOR warned cell. Watching Andy and Steve on WTEN. The warning should be oriented more the SE as the cell is a right mover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Luckily it was in a lesser populated area in the hills of Schenectady County...but now its entering a very populated region. All Albany TV stations are live now. On 5/29/2013 at 11:04 PM, dan11295 said: Damn, that thing looks nasty, and in a populated area too,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernNJ Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 If there is still a tornado in there, it is moving over Schenectady right now (7:05 EDT). May need a new polygon for the right turn motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah noticed that too... looks like a touchdown in Schoharie County just before 7 p.m. Both occurred right on the inflow notches of that QLCS.... classic QLCS spinups.

CT Rain Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Haven't seen any of the TV stations or NWS mention either TDS which is too bad. Both touchdowns were probably brief but nonetheless there. Dual pol rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's classic SNE severe: a big tornadic HP supercell embedded in a line/complex that's moving way too fast. You have to position ahead of the line, chose your spot with care and hope for the best, then run like hell if you chose correctly and a tornado emerges suddenly out of the rain. But that's New England, it is what it is, and I'd certainly go for it if I were within 20 minutes driving range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Line moved through here... sub-severe levels. Good bit of wind on the front side but for the most part I'd just consider it "breezy." Heavy, heavy rain and great lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
