weatherwiz Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 We are still in the dead of winter, but severe weather season is QUICKLY approaching. Last year was insanely busy and we got started rather early with a tornado outbreak on May 15th. It was a historic year down here in CT as 2018 tied 1973 (and we can debate the accuracy of this) for most confirmed tornadoes in one year at 8. CT was even able to pull off some tornadoes into October. Hopefully we can get another active one this year. Let the countdown begin!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 5/1 is probably when the pattern will become favorable for cold coastals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#NoPoles Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Im wondering if there are any stats to indicate how the year following a Historically active Severe Season plays out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if there is much year-to-year variability...but then again they aren’t relatively common enough to probably yield any type of connection...plus we would have to come up with a way of measuring how “active a season was”. You could do wind/hail reports, but I dint think that is highly accurate although it may give an indication. Coukd also do thunderstorm days or events which produced at least an ‘x’ number of reports. I think though we tend to go through cycles of increased/decreased activity which span a few years. Like the early to mid 2000’s were active then 2009 into like 2012 was sort of dead outside of 06/01/2011. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Niño summers tend to have decent tstm activity. It’s probably due to the propensity for troughing into the eastern US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I’d say it’s been relative quiet overall. We had a lot of rain in western areas this past summer, but a lot of it was also batches of heavy rain iirc. Not necessarily thunder. I know we had some tors this summer, but a few didn’t even have LTG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whineminster Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I had thunder and lightning during the squallz, does that count as severe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of that year we never really had any other season that was similar to that with a persistent cold pool. Maybe 1992? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
