Typhoon Tip Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 1 hour ago, sbos_wx said: I'd really love to get one of these storms. Looks like the Providence to Boston force field is fully operational right now. Beastly skies man... The outflow wedges have particularly dark bottoms with jagged tendrils extending a considerable distance, set before chalk board smooth rain curtains that tint slightly green at the cloud seam. That's what came through here in Shrewsbury, and the rain was thick like fog ... white noising over that metal plated roof like you had to speak over it - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a gustnado - which is a real phenomenon, no joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen plenty and they don't look like that, they don't connect with the cloud base, most are just funnel-less dust whirls. That said, the photo looks very sketchy if it's purporting to show a tornado. I suppose it could be, but the ruler-straight "funnel" looks more like a reflection of some kind to me. Would need more info to make a real judgement, such as where and exactly when the pic was taken. FWIW, there were indeed a couple of waterspouts in Jersey yesterday, pics are available online, for instance: https://patch.com/new-jersey/barnegat-manahawkin/incredible-video-pictures-waterspout-lbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 This was in Flemington NJ 5:03:38pm lol, only water around (just checked map of dropbox location where pic taken) would be the South Branch Raritan river. I can give exact coordinates of picture if someone can match up with radar. Maybe it was a zipping landphoonado.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Strong thunderstorm overhead with more torrential rain. The last few weeks have sucked here, way, way too much rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he said he saw it live for about 30 secs, max, it was quick....and if you look at the first pic, the thin funnel/spout is behind the power lines that drape across the street. It was clearly ‘inside’ the storm. Interesting looking regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 NAM is rather impressive on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 3 hours ago, CoastalWx said: NAM is rather impressive on Friday. I'm intrigued. Up this way there are questions about how far north the warm front gets, but along and just south of it the forecast soundings are pretty good looking. Mostly below 3 km, but sometimes that all you need. More shallow spinners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 It just depends on warm front location and any leftover WAA convection and debris clouds. Might last through Friday night as decent upper level support accompanies this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 This has been one of the worst summers for lack of t-storms in my area that I can recall. I think there has been maybe 2-3 storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said ... yeah, the idea of that being a reflection occurred to me too.. but at last there is clear pixelation in that image that agrees. It's too bad that general frame wasn't looped tho, because it does take on the a bit of the lenticular look of a meso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there has been maybe 2-3 storms. Zero storms for me. This has got to be some type of record. Lots of distant lightning/thunder, mostly all to my immediate south. Wonder what is the technical definition of a thunderstorm is? If you see a lightning strike or hear thunder several miles away while you get light rain is that considered a thunderstorm? If it is then my count is much higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stumble upon fresh bear crap in the woods, is it considered crap and could you be in danger? I think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
