Interesting directional movement....not every day you see storms move from the SE to NW

 

Ahh.. thanks for pointing that out :)

 

I was not paying attn, but glanced out the window and saw ominous clouds.  Opened up the nexrad and saw the storm to the east... figured it had passed and was strengthening.  Didn't occur to me that it was headed in this direction.  Indeed it is very rare for a storm to take that path here, I can only recall it a handful of times since 2005.

Yeah up here they've been moving almost due north, and drifting slightly east too.

 

But it was very odd to get by a T-storm today from due south.

It is even more rare for them to go severe. Mostly pulse type stuff, maybe an occasional small hailer.

I'm not sure this did go severe.  We had some very fast wind shifts that I thought could be indicative of partially collapsing cells, but no severe gusts here.  A few strays limbs or branches I guess could've come down somewhere.

 

Had to glance at the RAP and sure enough it did have that little inverted feature at H7 and H850 that would've suggested storm motion like that.  Pretty cool.

It never did go severe. I Was just adding to the commentary.

You were lucky, that little storm pulsed up just at the right time to move through Amherst at it's peak...I was tracking a cell that pulsed up near wrentham and then died out in franklin...would have hit me had it held together
