bobbutts Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Lost power for a minute in Shrewsbury. We NEVER lose it here. Pretty good storm... Looks like that was way ahead of the storm.. Hitting you now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Apparently large trees down ORH Actually might have been a TDS for a scan or two. Not the clearest signal, but CC and velocity are in the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 tornadotony posted a photo on twitter showing TDS signature around 8:11 PM That's exactly the scan time I was looking at. CC and velocity would say yes, ZDR is less clear. But it does move with time in the direction of the storm motion, and has vertical continuity. So I'm pretty confident that's not an artifact.

Seems to line up well too with where the reports of damage occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Notice the center of the velocity couplet is actually downstream of the TDS. That makes sense because the radar creates the reflectivity and dual-pol products first, before scanning for velocity. That slight timing difference is enough to shift the velocity couplet downstream a few radials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 so you think radar confirmed tornado? I'm willing to say that. It really doesn't look like a clutter artifact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I just heard this right ( I hope not) vollmar on WCVB told people to lie in a ditch if they are on 495 . I have to try and see if I can find that because I can't confirm.

SouthernNJ Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If anyone is able to post the Base Velocity from the terminal doppler, the 805 and 811 PM scans looked very tight and correlate well with the TDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
