Hope so Wiz. I'd like to see some evidence of a line or MCS developing by 8:00. Otherwise the goose may be cooked . Still plenty of time to evolve

 

8:00 is a good timeframe...maybe even 9:00.  With these nocturnal events though sometimes you just have no clue.  Not very often do we see MLcape values exceeding 1500-2000 J/KG well after dark and steep lapse rates.  We will certainly lose some of the instability we have in place but not a tremendous amount.  All we just need is some better forcing/support to push closer...that's what we're lacking at the moment.  

 

I am nervous no doubt b/c many times the forcing/support stay north but it is good we aren't getting crap into CT b/c we aren't getting any overturning.

I had pea sized hail for a few minutes.  The winds were not too impressive maybe 30 mph or so.  But the shelf cloud had very impressive motion along as it came across. Lots of lightning!  Best storm of the season so far.

 

If I get a strike within 5 miles, it might be my best of the season.  Odds are looking good.

Several distant rumbles.  Just trie dthe generator--no go.  The gas must be stale.  I just added fresh to it....hopefully that'll circulate in.  Any ideas?

 

Very dark, not a breath of wind.

 

75.8/71

Take off the air filter, spray a little starting fluid in the carb.
