CT Rain Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 You can't blame BOX for that one, the radar coverage sucks down there and almost certainly this was a localized spinup at low levels. Quite possibly could have been contained in a single gate, and present only in the lowest kilometer. Yeah radar was unimpressive with only some broad rotation. Did you see anything on your radar?

radarman Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Yeah radar was unimpressive with only some broad rotation. Did you see anything on your radar? Not really. That's out near the edge of our range and we're quite a ways off the ground too down there. Also, shooting through a plume of high PWATs is not great at Xband obviously. As it moved into E. Longmeadow I get a slightly better view and there's some shear present but nothing too impressive, and certainly not indicative of that kind of damage. Some stuff closer in that moved through rural S. Belchertown had some impressive shear, but again, not something that made me think "trees on BMWs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Tornado warnings now in part of Tolland county. That's twice today that I've heard the t.v. go into Emergency Broadcast mode, making me feel like it's 1979 again. With all of the technology you'd think there'd be a better audio signal that could be sent over the airwaves than the wounded duck sounding alarm, and all of the static talk that goes with it.

TalcottWx Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Actually a nice pocket of instability here. Shears good, so is LCL. Cells far to sw and some cells just brushed here. Might see a decent storm if it makes it here. Doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
