HIPPYVALLEY Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Whole lot of meh' with that line. A few good rumbles and flashes but nothing house shaking and almost no wind. A gust or two got above 10mph. .30" of rain though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I think that was Vr shear around 25 knots near TORrington. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Pretty much drove where that signature traversed and didn't notice any damage or debris outside of leaves in the road...which may not have been storm related. I bet we had a decent inversion...or at least an inversion in place which really prevented winds from reaching the surface. I wish the structures were evident though. Wonder if a wall or funnel were there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 I wonder how close that was to producing. That has to be the closest I've perhaps been to being in something that looked to perhaps produce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 We were pretty close to a spinner or two in Connecticut last night. The >1 nROT and a spike in spectrum width >30 knots with that Wolcott storm is definitely concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Rather intrigued today to see how things unfold. Doesn't seem to be a great deal of consistency or agreement between the hi-res models as to exactly how today unfolds. Instability/shear will be there...along with decent lapse rates. Just a matter of forcing I guess. The best forcing remains well off to the west but there does seem to be some pieces of energy which move overhead during the afternoon. Could see a few rotating storms as well if anything remains discrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty solid signal for severe weather. Like you said, deep, unidirectional shear, CAPE probably going to push into the 500-1000 J/kg range. But I think the key is pretty strong mid level winds moving through the region today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking at radar and satellite loops (and admittedly ...not much else), triggers east of the Berk's has that look of maybe being a bit of a commodity .. . Of course, if there is more mechanical forcing , it may be less important than relying upon SB CAPE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably going to be mostly daytime heating forced, since the front isn't exactly plowing ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could the smoke sabotage this? You can stand in the sun and not even feel any warmth, kind of like during the eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
