Baroclinic Zone Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Cool to watch the inflow, wishing I was at a beach in E. Mass. (relief) Now how far back does the marine taint get? Still in the 90's Td is mid 70's MBY. 85/77 here. 'Bout as high as I'll see the DP. This airmass is a powderkeg right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I like how you tell it how it is. I have the benefit of seeing some of the internal as well. But basically a watch was too late and the slight was the easiest way to "upgrade" for the ongoing storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radarman Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 The funnel report in Ludlow doesn't surprise me considering the lowering and the motion. Whether it really was a funnel or the same rotating scud I was looking at may be up for some debate, but regardless this was something to be seen. FWIW I was at Cold Spring Country Club which is in S. Belchertown on the hill off Rt. 21 looking straight into Ludlow. As of now, the storm that's coming through Noho crossing the river into S. Hadley looks to have some hail in it. There is much more shear than normal at low levels today. With the exception of June 1 2011, this is among the 5-10 best cases of general shear I've seen operating this radar since 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the SPC mesoanalysis showing marginal shear and helicity was not really reflecting the true conditions... Well, not the first time that's happened. Guess the RAP just didn't pick up on it. I thought the storms were over-performing vs. the mesoanalysis, nice to have it confirmed by radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAPv2 seemed to be a little higher, but still nothing that jumped off the screen. May be a local CT River Valley kind of effect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Tstms love boundaries which enhance helicity too. Nice win for SE MA along seabreeze and into central MA. Seareeze just pushed through at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

free_man Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Are the storms moving SE? IF one ever develops, it might. The one coming out of VT was right-moving, but it faded. A few showers popped up, probably due to terrain of the Monads and the outflow of dying storm. The "ship sailed" is right, all of that energy has been robbed and won't recover.

OceanStWx Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Nice little bow developing in PA that is riding northeast. HRRR kind of fizzles it out by NW NJ, but it is riding the CAPE gradient until then so who knows. Looks like the HRRR also wants to break off some sort of MCV and track it into NNE.

OceanStWx Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 flow here is critical as well. S is a hindrance while W is the best. I always remember some of the better storm days for SE MA and RI were these weaker flow days where sea breezes do the initiation within a high instability air mass.
