T-Storms Part 2 : "North and West of the city!"

RPM has nice line of strong to severe storms moving thru the region between about 6:00pm and 9:0ppm tonight

 

SPC concurs somewhat.

 

..nrn Virginia/Maryland to interior southern New England this afternoon...

Stronger surface heating and modest destabilization is expected

along the east edge of the thicker clouds today from Virginia/Maryland to interior

southern New England. A belt of stronger low-midlevel southwesterly flow /30-40

knots/ will coincide with this zone of destabilization ... support

the development of a broken band of primarily multicell clusters and

short line segments by early afternoon. Poor lapse rate profiles do

not lend confidence to this forecast...but will maintain a low-end

slight risk for a few damaging gusts based on the potential for

downward momentum Transfer with heavy precipitation loading.

Hopefully we can muster up some breaks of sun to boost up instability values.  With dewpoints surging close to and perhaps just past 70F, we won't need much heating to really boost up instability values.  Potential Cape though is limited by the piss poor tropical mlvl lapse rates.  

 

Shear is pretty decent and vertical shear values should increase to 35-45 knots as the afternoon goes on along with some elevated helicity values.  

 

Torrential downpours certainly main hazard here but def have to watch for a few storms producing damaging gusts...maybe even rotate as well.  

 

HRRR looks active later

Some overlap of decent instability/shear over the Catskills/Hudson Valley should advect east. Wouldn't be surprised to see a few marginally severe storms try to form from western CT into southwest/south-central MA later today. The tornado threat is very marginal and the hail potential is not significant either. Greatest risks appear to be heavy rainfall and perhaps some localized damaging winds.

Lots of breaks in the clouds across western and central CT now...Capes increasing.  If we can get enough heating to get MLcapes up to about 1000-1250 J/KG that would be enough to get a few interesting storms going.  

 

Absolutely nothing but clouds here in GC as I watch lots of activity passing just to the NW.  Maybe I can get the 7-10 split today.  Just the way this season rolls. 

 

75.9/70--there 95* days are killing me.  The humidity does suck, though.  Just spent three hours splitting and stacking in it.  Just awful.
