TalcottWx Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Ahh yes, some Merrimack Magic there. That guy was over us with a few good CGs and even a few small stones I guess. Sounds like a bad WNBA team name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrotary12 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 It's interesting if you like showers with little thunder. Man. Kind of wish I was back in college. Would do a research project on the Merrimack Valley tornado alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Already two tornado warnings for today.......I was told it was not going to be interesting. How much damage? How many touchdowns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 That thing had about 120 knots of delta V on the 0.9 degree slice... so about 6300ft AGL there. That's pretty gnarly. BOX did a nice job with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOX did a nice job with that one. Despite what certain posters think, I consider that a pretty impressive display for SNE. I mean we discussed this last night, has played out to plan so far.

OceanStWx Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I thought it looked meh on regular radar. But I will take your word for the dual pol At one point there the rotational velocity on it was like 60 knots, generally speaking around here 30 is a good point to start warning.

CoastalWx Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Despite what certain posters think, I consider that a pretty impressive display for SNE. I mean we discussed this last night, has played out to plan so far. That stuff this morning was pretty sweet. Finally got one of these s/w's to really approach from the SW and not shear out into Montreal. Also, a really nice pocket of PV above 250mb coming in. One of those things that can help kick off storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 From my own point of view...we really need some "help" sometimes when it comes to convection. Those squall lines that form in NY state and then rip into NNE accompanied by good PVA, while we have rising height BS don't work out well around these parts in eastern SNE. Gimme some good forcing. It's kind of an equation. Big CAPE + Less forcing = Less CAPE but strong forcing. Obviously this is a little simplified, but you get the idea.

CT Rain Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 At one point there the rotational velocity on it was like 60 knots, generally speaking around here 30 is a good point to start warning. Seemed to have trouble tightening up at the lowest slice... but seeing those kind of velocities is really impressive. To put that in perspective 60 knots of rotational velocity is what we saw for most of the Springfield tornado track at a similar altitude above ground level. The median rot V of all Connecticut tornadoes since 1995 on doppler radar is a pretty pathetic 22.5 knots. That said, with super resolution data these days I'm guessing it probably would be closer to 25 or 30 knots now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 And today pretty much went AWT. CAMs really did a nice job with this event. Sneaky morning severe with the strong forcing and elevated instability and a bit of a struggle down here in SNE this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think recent studies have put it at about 27 knots for a good trigger point around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at archive radar data with the legacy resolution it's amazing how we were able to live with that. It's so coarse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ma blizzard Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Man. Kind of wish I was back in college. Would do a research project on the Merrimack Valley tornado alley. the eames days were fun ... 0.85" from batch #1 this morning .. lets see if round #2 can hold together. just looking for a brief downpour and a gust to 30 knots or something .. not asking a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
