dendrite Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Lots of anvil debris here from the VT storms. At least it's making for a cooler afternoon under overcast skies. Down to 81F from a high of 89F. Heat wave fail here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This summer, anytime something might fire, it does and goes right over can't-miss-Corinth. Today is no exception. Every single time this summer....... OK, we've missed a couple but I'm telling you, I've never seen so many hits for my locale as we've had so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 A second shower hit the home front 4:30-5, this one also fairly small in area but a lot more colorful than the 3 PM one - some 50 dbz echoes and Doppler estimates over 1" on the north side of Mile Hill, maybe half that IMBY 3-4 miles to the NW. Two small cells in the neighborhood, both water my garden. Maybe the local anti-svr shield has yielded before Steven King's dome. Looks very nice early next week. Will be thrashing thru old and well regenerated cuts north of Moosehead Tues-Wed (hordes of deerflies are sharpening their knives), so cool and dry will be much nicer than this week's swamp-air.

MaineJayhawk Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Was just checking out forecast conditions for MWN on Sunday as I will likely cruise through there as I wander the northern Presidentials. Hi temp forecast is 49F with windy conditions. I'll be wearing a fooking jacket and gloves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Storm I chased with weak rotation today (South of Williston off Old Creamery Rd.). Perhaps the strangest thing was the lone tiny updraft with its own lowering. I have never seen anything like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Just got supercreamed and scored a 7.89"/hr rain rate. One single distant rumble of thunder long before arrival was the only one... how does an orange pixel last night produce constant CG's and an orange pixel today produce essentially nothing at all?

Depends where the updraft is strongest. You can get heavy rain this time of year without having a very tall CB, while last night probably had a ton of CAPE in the lightning production area of -10C to -20C or so.

eekuasepinniW Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I got that cocorahs rain gauge today... probably the only guy here that didn't already have one. I'm rather impressed with my VP2's accuracy given its age. The manual gauge says 0.36" and my VP2 says 0.35" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Nice. That's with heavy rain too. The tipper should measure more in steadier lighter rains. Why would the tipper measure more than the CoCoRAHS gauge in steadier light rains,? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Why would the tipper measure more than the CoCoRAHS gauge in steadier light rains,?It shouldn't. I meant if it is reading close in heavy rates that it should read a little more with lighter rates since there will be less splash loss. Usually the tippers are calibrated for the light/moderate rains and during the extreme heavy rains you start seeing the deficit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 +RA now...doubt I catch Eek's rate. Had a bear run in front of my truck on rt3 just before Winnisquam HS this evening. It looked like it was on the smaller/younger side. Kinda weird to see on a busy street at rush hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Lake Winnipesaukee's water temperature officially hit 79F today. I went back to when water temp records were started in 1998 and this ties the highest water temp I could fine. I would think it has a good shot of hitting 80F before the fropa which would be a record. .25" in today's thundershowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I think Tamarack got rick rolled with those training cells The two afternoon cells totaled 0.47", with no thunder. The evening one added 0.23" with occasional spectacular C-C bolts propagating across the sky. Some were directly overhead, and 1.5 to 2 miles distant. I think the evening storm was even more interesting just to my south, but I've never seen more bolts extending across half the sky nor any that took so long to finish a strike. ("Long" means a large fraction of a second rather than being nearly instantaneous.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 http://www.pressherald.com/news/Weather-service-7500-lightning-strikes-in-Maine-NH-.html I wonder how there was so much lightning. Perhaps we were able to steepen mid level lapse rates enough to get good CAPE and therefore charge separation in the -10 to -20 layer. You can't lose with NW flow.
