OceanStWx Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I thought today was a huge success. If the metric is "a severe thunderstorm at my house" than you're going to be disappointed often... even if you live in Oklahoma. Impressive thunderstorms and hail across Long Island, SE CT, and Rhode Island. Pretty much an AWT in terms of areas and threats. Parents had quarter size hail at their place in Barrington. Never in the 20 some odd years I was growing up there of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 I'm not picking on you paul I'm frustrated with today we usually see 1-3 eastern sne threats like this and today was a mega fail. But cell to my sw randomly showing hope on a line for me. Ill take it I know. Convection just really isn't for everyone...it's very difficult to get into and follow b/c so many times much of the action, or the better action occurs where you aren't. It is hard to keep emotions in check though. I mean, if it wasn't for going to NY with my friend during our annual two week chase and seeing hail/damaging winds I would have seen virtually nothing this year. IMBY, it has been God awful. Although Saturday night was sweet. As far as today goes though, it went fairly well overall. The areas hit where the areas favored and there really weren't any surprises.

OceanStWx Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Before dropping eggs... That's pretty nice right there. My mom wouldn't run outside and grab a hail stone for a picture though. I need to train them a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to train them a little better. I finally realized after a few years that my mom doesn't actually go outside with a ruler to the appropriate snow measuring spot. It's more... yeah... looks like 4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I think the area that we highlighted got hit, but I didn't think it would be more s coast. Turned out that's where the real Dewpoint front was and best instability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 I think the area that we highlighted got hit, but I didn't think it would be more s coast. Turned out that's where the real Dewpoint front was and best instability. It can be a mess trying to pinpoint that exact axis where the dewpoint front or best moisture pooling will setup...and to make matters even more difficult, trying to do that and determine if that will occur within the best instability/shear axis. Although I guess where you have the higher dewpoints and higher moisture content, that's probably going to be the area of higher instability...that is when you're dealing with cloud shields.

OceanStWx Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 What time was that? I wonder what my coworker saw. He's from Bristol. Text was at 4:22 Looks like they may get hit again. Not that different looking than the first hail core, maybe just a hair south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. I saw 2" hail down in Duxbury on Mem weekend 2009. It was oblong but when it spans 3 fingers, that's impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have never seen severe hail before. Had a couple close calls where I was working at the WFO when hail was falling at my apartments in DVN and PWM.

OceanStWx Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Although now I realize I'm complaining about missing hail at home, when I've seen a tornado there. I mean which is the more rare event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
