ct_yankee Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Wow, what a great little storm! Amazingly good structure for something that was just barely a supercell. Striations, curving inflow band, and a well-formed wall cloud that went right over New Haven! Watched it from the Ikea parking lot at Long Wharf… Was totally surprised to see a rain-free base with a lowering, way better structure than anything I expected to see. Before anybody asks, no, I didn’t see much in the way of obvious low-level rotation - but everything else was there! Took some no doubt crappy pics from my crappy cell phone, don’t know if they came out… And anyway my phone-to-computer cable is broken and Bluetooth never worked, but I’ll get another cable and try to post the pics I took tomorrow. You’ll be surprised, I sure was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 It's been all fizzles E of the river / south of the pike the last two nights. last week too...at least down here near the shore. hoping we can get a decent threat all the way to the shoreline at some point this year. I will say this week has been good for observing storm structure. ct_yankee obviously had a good view from New Haven tonight. And two nights ago I got a really nice view of the anvil of a storm over Fairfield County from down a Hammonassett State Park. Tough to get things to work out to be able to observe single cell storm structure like this around New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 All of 0.01" overnight - things continued to die as they moved eastward. Where were you moosing, Pittsburg? Or did they do the Errol-Rangeley loop? Both places are moosetastic. We were in Jefferson, NH and near the Mt Washington hotel. Saw 5 moose. One cow for 30 minutes. I have seen them in Mass and saw 2 dead ones on my commute this spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 NWS has really been more specific in warnings recently. Right now just NW ORH county is included. Not Hubbardston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radarman Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Line looks ok but it might fizzle Seemed to perk up a little surprisingly. SVR just issued for this area and I'm cautiously optimistic. Heavy rumbles in the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you pretty much just have to get lucky, what with the trees and hills and frequently rush hour traffic... It's not really chasing, most often you'll only get one chance to intercept. Pick a spot, let the cell come to you, and hope it happens to look good at that point, because you probably won't catch it again. It's a precarious art, filled with frustration and near-misses. But tonight I was perfectly placed, and for once the storm cooperated. Just looked at my pics, definitely some worth posting. Poor contrast killed the structure shots from far away, but as the storm got closer I got the base and wall cloud, real ominous looking lowering, with some of the overall structure still in the frame. Very pretty indeed for this area, I've only seldom seen better structure here in NE. Will post the pics tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professional Lurker Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I had 5 drops and a distant Rumble. Look at the line now? Jesus h, can't buy a good storm here, yet we've received a mountain of rain the past month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Pretty good shear along with cooling aloft despite meager MLCAPE. Nice little 850 theta-e ridge modeled on the NAM with this so some of this is being driven by some elevated warmth and moisture injection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
