No doubt, it's been off and on since 6:45 AM. There's another close strike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it loud or is it softer cause it's being softened by the snow? Does Jim Cantore know about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patfan1987 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 We discussed the same timeframe for the past 24 hours and people are ready to jump off the Tobin. I think the rapidly deepening storm passing inside of the 40/70 will probably just have the ccb dissipate past noon. Probably just magically vaporize.It would be good if we had accumulating snow and we knew the ccb was coming. Right now it's not even snowing and you lose valuable hours of potential.

moneypitmike Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm in the midst of good rates and flakes, but I'm tantalizingly close to some really heavy returns. Wind's are impressive 20* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherWilly Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Snow has picked up with thicker flakes- winds still not bad. Haven't heard any thunder near the coast. Visibility much poorer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Lightning explosion showing up on lightning detection network vaisala. Over LI and CT should shift eastward with time and develop eastward as thunderstorms on the northeastward quadrant of Low Pressure center will move into region. Worst conditions still not expected until after 1pm for SE MA, CC and Islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're clearing the appetizer plates and dinner is moving in... I don't think we get our dinner served before 1pm Jerry... we hear the lip smacking and high fives nearby in CT / Western MA, and we should get a taste later this afternoon. Just hope it's not cleared too quickly. The promised cross-hair soundings should arrive 1-4pm with the exiting CCB, we hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the sense the sound is traveling a much shorter distance, and there haven't been any really sharp cracks, but it's really like being a moderate, long duration summer thunderstorm.

CoastalWx Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 That band is slowly propagating east. Basically I think you'll see the dryslot slowly pinch off, but it might be painful for a couple of hours near 495-128 area north of I-90. The CCB in SE MA should also try and pivot up...but there may be that stubborn subby zone in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
