CoastalWx Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Had a couple of anvil CGs here, but overall meh. The best stuff was about 10 miles to my NE up into Conway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I see Sunday. Definitely interesting on the GFS. 00z GFS better than 06z but still worth keeping an eye on given the possible presence of EML air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 if euro is right, saturday might not be so COC. maybe it's more isolated than what's showing up but euro has a fairly large area of measurable precip later in the day / evening.

bobbutts Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 nadda here near BOS not many cars in that market basket parking lot lol Yeah, it was a ghost town down there, that plaza is usually packed at that time too.

Some pix from WMUR viewers Looks non-tornadic, I can't see any clues of a larger circulation, and its rather skinny as well. Plus, the aftermath of cold fronts (warm water and some cu) is especially conducive to fair weather spouts. Radar images from that time can give the final say, however. Gorgeous images, lucky people up there. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Is Sunday-Tuesday threat for all of New England or just NNE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornadomachine Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Is Sunday-Tuesday threat for all of New England or just NNE?So far its a maybe on the threat, lot of uncertainty and model differences today. The GFS, which is the main event pusher, has central and southern regions under fire sunday, then the second wave moves in on all areas Monday eve into Tuesday morning. Sunday looks best of those, to me. If an eml event dies occur, it would certainly be more impressive looking than the last two. I'm not to confident on it though, feels a bit off based on what we've had the past few times. I think the mid Atlantic might be the area that gets hit best.

Connecticut Appleman Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 How goes the star gazing? We ended up with 0.32 inches last night (most of which fell after I went to bed) which was better than I figured after great looking line in Litchfield County crumbled coming across the CT river valley.

Gorgeous images, lucky people up there. Thanks for sharing! Doesn't matter for verification however. If it touches the lake surface for even a second we've missed a "tornado." This is because the lake itself is actually considered to be a land zone. If it were a marine zone it would be a different story. Between Winnipesaukee and Sebago we've had at least 5 such events in the past two warm seasons alone. As for the radar, I'm not even sure you would be able to see anything. It's quite probable there was no shower involved, and just formed under a parent cumulus cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hmm you don't do that for cold air funnels in the winter right? Lake Champlain seems to get more of those...a few instances in the past 5 years of winter-time lake funnels. I'm not even sure what you would call it (cold air funnels?)...is it a waterspout in the winter? Same with Lake Ontario, seems those things pop up in the fall and early winter sometimes during lake effect events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Lake Ontario, seems those things pop up in the fall and early winter sometimes during lake effect events.I don't think that would be a cold air funnel, those form in very particular setups (check out this NWS link http://www.erh.noaa.gov/iln/Gallery/Thunderstorms/storm16.html) and are high level circulations, it sounds like what you are describing is the more traditional warm water fair weather spout. Warm water is a heat source, if any sort of rising air passes over it and encounters turbulence, that turbulence can be stretched into the updraft and form the vortex. Ground up style is technically non-tornadic, though still dangerous and evidently counted as a tornado event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Lake Champlain gets its fair share of winter time waterspouts when the lake is unfrozen and the cold air sinks southward creating a load of instability. But we certainly don't count them as tornadoes. https://twitter.com/NWSBurlington/status/426383193516679168 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bring up a good point, but I also can't recall one actually being reported to us during the winter season in this same time period. Though I'm sure they happen all the time.
