Lets see what happens, this sig always interests me in days of higher risk, seems a precursor to have these gravity wave clouds, maybe this is the spot to watch ??

Are those gravity waves or cumulus streets? I thought gravity waves were mainly an anvil cloud formation/stratiform formation, but I could be wrong. Cumulus streets indicate strong moisture flow, I believe.

It isn't necessarily clouds...lack of lift. Source of lift today was a subtle a/w but it has been looking meh on models. Western SNE could get licky

not many days that ended up severe were cloudy all day, if we break out things will pop but you also are correct. I think tomorrow is very interesting

Radar and satellite not exactly encouraging. Line of marginal looking crapvection, no sunshine in sight. The ingredients were potentially there, but... Really bad timing on that incoming line. This is precisely the kind of stuff that EMLs are supposed to suppress.

That's probably because the EML has essentially rotted away...

Completely disagree...  You can't run this dog and pony show without CAPE -- particularly poisoned by saturated cool boundary layer at this point,..   Not sure why this wasn't assessed in the original convective outlooks for the day, but I am a, not in their SPC offices, and b, was busy over the last couple of days.   Rank disappointment, though - period.  

 

Also, ...not that anyone asked, but I did peak yesterday at SPC's outlook and whenever you see an enhanced wording SW of your location, fear the CAPE reaper.  Too often the situation precums and anvil/mid level junk spreads over, dims critical insolation/CAPE.  Also, the convection its self mechanically chokes inflow for areas N-NE.   That said, heh -- we did not even get that far!  This is purely a totally and absolutely wrongly timed swatch of death debris.  

It depends on mlv sounding for later on, for western zones, and whether they can clear by 1pm to salvage a couple hours of heating underneath, whereby generating a viable column. But, my experience with these sorts a bend-over deals is that as the western edge of mid/upper level convective lag edges passed ... low clouds pounce!  It's not good enough that it's f up the potential, it's got slap your face on the way out the door with something analogous to this:

The 850mb flow inside the warm sector bubble really (as an index finger rule) needs to be SW, over 22kts to really scour out a cooled, wet boundary layer that is "trapped" in our unique topological induced quagmire.  What' happens there is that the Berkshire's, Greens, and Whites, combined with oceanic boundary layer S-E team up to create a kind of bowl that fills up with choke.  

 

We get our convection at times, but we have more to over come than the other areas of the country. Built in limitations, like 'white men can't jump'

I was speaking in terms of eastern SNE...lack of trigger more culprit there.

Clouds certainly are an issue right now across western sections...have to clear out by 1-1:30

We'll see, looking better behind the Springfield line. Sort of. Hopefully we can scour these 70's, otherwise game over.

Going to be two cells for bos area it looks like. One will slide above the city and its northern suburbs, another strengthening now to its south has a better trajectory for the city proper. Someone gets light to mod rain in between. Lightning on the increase, some broad rotation signifying the fact the storm is well established. Maybe some higher wind gusts and frequent lightning.

main hurrah for the east now. Further west, I'm thinking kinda meh on the regeneration.

Lots of distant thunder emanating from the cell moving toward Marlborough. 

 

This day is starting to remind me of June, '87.  I've told this story a dozen times ... to paraphrase, we warm-sector-wedged around 1:30pm with the boundary lifting to SE NH, and the region soared into the 80s with DPs rising to 72 after a morning in the mid 60s with thunder and rains ...  elevated convection along the displacing warm boundary.  

 

Toward evening, a small cluster of cells developed over the Mohawk Trail and roared ESE down Rt 2 during the evening hours. One of the most spectacular severe events of my life outside of a tornado transpired.  It came through in two distinct pulses: the first was dry gust front up underneath an atypical shelf cloud.  That pulse of wind, which gusted well over 50mph, went calm, and there was this really fascinating 10 minute interval of super bright, multi-pulse anvil to earth CG bolts with bone rattling loud thunder explosions. Then the west horizon started pulsing blinks, overlapping, pretty close to continuous ... as it neared a distant roar began to overtake the near constant roll of distant thunder and then the 2nd wave hit like a p-wave off a bomb blast. Trees just bent in half and hail up to golf ball sized and blinding rain was interceded with strobe lightning...  

 

When it was over ... immense timbre damage and power outages all over town.   

 

Couldn't hurt to look up stream where there may be some residual SRH later on
