Snowedin Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Man, what a noisy morning. Its been one thunderstorm after another for hours straight, which explains why a flash flood warning was prompted for parts of se mass. I'm willing to bet we got another 2" of rain last night/through the morning and I'm sure much more towards attleboro, new bedford, etc...Talk about making up for lack of precip these past few days!

Quincy Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 The bottom line is this: -there's going to a good amount of severe wx in New England over the next days -there's going to be at least several low topped spinner's and TOR's -damaging wet microbursts are the biggest threat -this is going to be our biggest outbreak of the season ASOUT: http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/blog/13/entry-140-new-england-severe-bust-7152014/ Should have stuck with my guns, especially with the writing on the wall.

CT Rain Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Too bad you didn't The issue really was the convection that fired earlier over NYC. With us smokin' anvil for about 4 hours in the afternoon that really screwed us. Not sure what the other handwringing is about... other than that the day looked fine to me.

ROOSTA Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 That was a nightmare coming back from Kenmore to Arlington. Standing water 8-12" in the middle of streets usually not prone to flooding. Alewife was almost impassable at the height of deluge. Mass Ave. Arlington (Ctr. of town) power outage, three detours end to end....oh boy....left late morning with less than a tenth arrived back with 2.14" in the bucket.

ORH_wxman Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Widespread severe is hard to get here...usually best to stay conservative unless there's smoking guns all over the computer screen when looking at all the parameters and synoptic variables. Yesterday was a classic case of most of the region being "punished" by mesoscale features such as too much convective blowup to our SW. Far NE MA/SE NH/S ME managed to cash in on the combo of best parameters and not being screwed by the convection to the southwest. So we had a localized severe event in that region. I'm also admittedly a snob when it comes to severe, so the marginal events don't interest me as much as others here. I really prefer those W or NW flow EML events. That's the downside of getting exposed to the Texas severe wx. It's easy for me to be lazy on not focus on the marginal stuff, but I don't envy those who really need to try and forecast these events. They aren't easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't easy. Yeah severe is weird. When you're forecasting for a whole area (like CT) it makes it a lot easier to get invested because a "big event" can occur when nothing happens in your backyard. Compared to snow or high winds or a hurricane when every gets impacted... convection by its nature is so localized it almost always leads to disappoint.

CoastalWx Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Ne ma se nh into w me was highlighted 24 hours prior.. actually very well by models so That's a good climo spot for those events. One big reason is deep srly flow marine layer is muted with all the distance traveled from the southern new england coast to the NH and ME borders.

Connecticut Appleman Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Interesting couple of days. Significant rain all around my house, but since Sunday we only had a total of 0.71 inches and it was divided up pretty evenly between Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. None today. With that many storms bouncing around, usually one will score a hit and drop some heavy rain - but none did, we were always on the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
