weatherwiz Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Still quite unstable with steepening lapse rates and increasing shear. Suspect we continue to pop storms over the next few hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Nice storm coming thru Maine along rt112 & rt117 from Saco into Denmark. Lots of lightning.

weatherwiz Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 That warned cell that went through New Britain and Newington...I can't believe how that came up. Does anyone have a radar simulation? When I left BDL that was nothing (I also met JJBASHB!) and I'm driving down 91S heading into Hartford and the sky went from 0 lightning to the sky spitting it within minutes. I go onto 84 then get to exit 43 got the red light and looked at the radar and nearly took my pants off and drove the like 1/2 mile or 3/4 of a mile to the golf course and got my camera on. Ive never seen the sky go from nothing to constant flashes and CG's within minutes like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's daily occurrence, drives one nuts trying to forecast the convergence and boundaries being set-up day to day. Nothing like the event tonight over SNE. Lack of shear, lapse rates and dynamics that one usually looks for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Crazy thunder, lightning, hail and wind here with that storm that moved through. This is the most lightning I've ever seen in my entire life. Just constant flashes. Enough wind to throw my patio furniture everywhere and flip my grill over, and it's not a small grill. Power is still on so I'm very thankful for that. 1.2" of rain so far today too, my lawn is very thankful for that lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
