Sparky Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I have been watching some nice towers closing in from the west. It is hotter today than yesterday, around 89 now, yesterday topped out at 87. Could be interesting in a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it looks like all the action is going to be along the border (what's new). Hopefully we can get that southern edge to juice up or maybe some more action to the SW.

Low-level shear is certainly garbage, but deep-layer shear is around 30 kt which is marginal but certainly not "no shear whatsoever". I'm not calling for widespread destruction, but a few wet microbursts certainly seems like a reasonable outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot 93 that is kind of new -- I've missed out the last few times. long off rumbles of thunder, light rain. action has been further south for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Outflow surging out from the line now. Maybe that can touch off some storms closer to the metros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 If I had a drop of rain for every time Accuwx told me it was raining, or rain would be beginning in X minutes, when I log-on to check out the radar, then I might have a actual thunderstorm. Right now it tells me rain will end in 43 minutes. I haven't seen a drop yet today.....and there is nothing even remotely close on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it can trigger something but I have a feeling you and I are going to be too far south for anything decent today. Hard to complain after yesterday though. That was a show.

BlizzardNole Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 That outflow felt nice as I was finishing up cutting the grass. WOW was that a hot job! Hoping to get a nice shot of rain for the third day in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
