jm1220 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Long Beach got drenched pretty good. Otherwise my immediate area largely was a gap between the Nassau storms and what went through E Suffolk earlier. Short lived downpour and lightning here.

Snowlover11 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 poured here in yonkers with some good winds, and tons of lightning. not sure what we gusted too, but enough that we had sheets of rain. i’d say between 40-45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Wow. I had almost no wind at all but there's quite a bit of reported wind damage right in my area. I forgot to report the small hail I got yesterday, it only went for about 5 minutes and the stones were not even dime sized but the put a hurt on some of the broad leaf plants in my garden.

That was one of the more dramatic storms I've watched this year, it was black and the clouds were bubbling and rolling and the wall of rain falling out of it was impressive. Where I was barely even got wet until later so I could sit and watch the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hi! Here is a very good summary of supercell path through CT by Dr Anton Seimon with supporting guidance etc from NBC Met Ryan Hanrahan. I post this because this event, for late August was pretty substantial and especially for parts of CT. SPC did a good job capturing a fairly high end event. This is my last on the 27th... but I wanted you to appreciate the discussion and additional information. The appended images would need to be inserted into the discussion below... but if you take a moment, you can see some value added. B Back on Thursday, while many on this list were tracking the progress of TC Laura through Louisiana, a strong supercell thunderstorm tracked from south of Albany southeastward across Connecticut to Long Island Sound. Major damage was registered in several towns in Connecticut, and the NWS has confirmed an EF-1 tornado track with an 18-km path, and more widespread damage along a broader path from a series of microbursts. The severe weather potential was amply recognized in SPC Outlooks and Discussions leading up to the event, and the localization of the most severe threat to a narrow corridor was especially well represented in guidance from convection-allowing NAM operational runs. Here is one NAM guidance product, courtesy of the College of DuPage, from the 18 UTC run on 26 August; the most severe damage occurred close to 20 UTC (4 pm EDT), so 26 hours after model initialization. The 12 UTC/27th run 18 hours later maintained this high-end supercell scenario in time and place. The o The overall setup of a supercell tracking along a surface warm frontal boundary under seasonally strong northwest flow has striking similarities to an even stronger event from 10 July 1989, which produced a 100+km track of forest blowdown in Connecticut culminating in an F4 tornado at Hamden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Northeastern_United_States_tornado_outbreak The NBC meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan offered a meteorological overview of the setup on Thursday: https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/weather-news/on-ryans-radar/august-27-tornado-event/2325826/ There are some remarkable images and video sequences that have been posted on the Internet. Ryan’s Twitter feed provides a good collection, including the screen-grabbed image below of the advancing mesocyclone as it reached Long Island Sound at Madison. Be sure to view this dash cam video from a driver caught in the rain-wrapped mesocyclone in North Branford at 4:10 pm EDT: Be sure to view this dash cam video from a driver caught in the rain-wrapped mesocyclone in North Branford at 4:10 pm EDT: https://twitter.com/Eweather13/status/1299326159423930370 The National Weather Service office at Brookhaven NY (OKX) surveyed the damage yesterday and posted findings on the tornado and microburst damage. https://nwschat.weather.gov/p.php?pid=202008290246-KOKX-NOUS41-PNSOKX There is ample evidence from KOKX radar Doppler velocity scans that the wind field in southwest quadrant of the mesocyclone circulation, augmented in a ground-relative sense by the storm’s rapid southeast motion reached hurricane force along an axis several km wide. The Radarscope screen grab below from 7-8 minutes after the assessed tornado dissipation time shows a conventional signature of a high-precipitation supercell with inbound pixel values of 42 m/s: this corresponds very closely in time and space with the video linked above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I posted earlier in this thread about being in the vicinity of this cell and watching it get its act together. This was one of the most impressive cells I've seen in this area for a while, I'm not surprised it blew up like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
