metagraphica Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Nice bit of lightning and thunder with this line coming through. Saw some pretty turbulent clouds; going every which way, as a separate cell passed just to the north of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had our entry panel pop from close strikes before, but this time the transformer at our service line crackled, too. No blinks, no issues - unlike Turner, about 2/3 of the way from here to Dryslot. Reports that half the town was dark. Facebook compression aside, I got this on Long Pond 6/30. Granted it was also after 1 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Next year may be my break to go out west. Unfortunately it may only be able to be for like 5 days but if my job becomes full time come December and I get one week vacation my first year then I’m golden!! But watch next year be worse than this out in the Plains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I chased in June of 2009, and that was considered garbage. It was mostly relative because we were coming off 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 What's interesting is the country is about dead nuts average on wind reports for this point in the season, but well below in both hail and tornadoes. So that really means we have a distinct lack of supercellular type severe weather this season. Seriously, 5/15 is one of the better outbreak days nationally this year. Not often New England gets in that conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Man, now I've gone down the rabbit hole playing with IEM. We have a "clear" tornado alley in Grafton, Carroll, Oxford Counties, but have somehow never issued one for Sullivan County, NH in the last 20 years.

OceanStWx Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Worcester County the clear winner, averaging over 1 TOR per year. And Ginx narrowly defeats Kevin down in CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is just warning count/year, actual tornadoes would be even lower. I find it interesting how Cumberland County in Maine equals Grafton and Carroll in NH, but that's most likely because of the "fishtail" by Bridgton that is hard to chop out of a warning.

SJonesWX Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 what is the geographical feature that spurns the nasty weather in the Strafford/Northwood/Deerfield area of NH? that place has been a magnet for weather events lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not often we get the classic frontal/outflow boundaries delineating things. It's possible the relatively higher terrain west of the those towns helps channel flow in a more southerly vs. southwest direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 NAM bufkit for BDL reamins quite unstable (actually increases instability) overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning with some interesting shear. I think though the poor lapse rates and high PWAT air are really going to hurt things. As we saw last week, these setups can certainly produce something but it tends to be extremely localized and last week also had the extra help from triple point and mesolow. But with such poor lapse rates and the majority of the buoyancy within the low-levels we'll certainly get some activity going but it's going to struggle to develop into anything meaningful to utilize the shear. Also...with such warm mid-levels it will be tough to generate ice crystals for lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
