...SUMMARY...
A WEAK TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN THIS EVENING IN THE TOWN OF SOMERS IN 
NORTHERN TOLLAND COUNTY, CONNECTICUT. AMATEUR RADIO OPERATORS 
FOLLOWED UP ON A TIP FROM A TRAINED SKYWARN WEATHER SPOTTER VIA 
SOCIAL MEDIA AND THEN UNCOVERED MANY REPORTS. WE THEN SPOKE WITH
SOMERS FIRE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS, AN EYEWITNESS WHO OBSERVED THE 
TORNADO, AND VIEWED SEVERAL VIDEOS ONLINE. THE FOLLOWING 
INFORMATION SUMMARIZES ALL OF THESE REPORTS.  

THE TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN ON COLONIAL DRIVE, THEN TRACKED TO THE 
NORTH-NORTHEAST, IMPACTING LAKE DRIVE JUST SOUTH OF SHADY LAKE,
KIBEE DRIVE, A PORTION OF MAIN STREET (ROUTE 190), BATTLE STREET,
AND ENDED IN THE VICINITY OF HICKORY HILL DRIVE. THIS IS A PATH
LENGTH OF 1.9 MILES. THE APPROXIMATE PATH WIDTH WAS 75 YARDS.
DAMAGE PHOTOS LED TO ESTIMATES OF MAXIUMUM WIND SPEEDS OF 75 TO 80
MPH, WHICH PUTS THIS ON THE MID TO UPPER END OF THE EF0 CATEGORY 
OF THE ENHANCED FUJITA SCALE. THE TIME, BASED ON RADAR, FIRE
DEPARTMENT LOGS, AND AN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT, WAS FROM 611 PM TO 
618 PM EDT.

SEVERAL LARGE PINE TREES WERE DOWNED ON COLONIAL DRIVE AND TWO CARS 
WERE DESTROYED BY THE FALLING TREES. APPROXIMATELY 19 TREES WERE 
SNAPPED, TWISTED, AND UPROOTED ON LAKE DRIVE. A RESIDENT OF LAKE 
DRIVE HEARD A LOUD WHIRRING NOISE AND OBSERVED THE TOPS OF TREES 
FLYING BY THE HOUSE. SHINGLES WERE MISSING ON A HOUSE NEXT DOOR.
A PLAYSCAPE WAS LIFTED UP AND LANDED APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET AWAY. 
ON MAIN STREET, A SMALL CORNER OF A ROOF WAS EXPOSED WITH ADDITIONAL 
DAMAGE ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE GUTTER. FARTHER TO THE NORTHEAST, 
A FEW LARGE OAK TREES WERE SNAPPED ON HICKORY HILL DRIVE. 

THIS STORM WAS LOW-TOPPED AND DID NOT POSSESS ANY LIGHTNING...ONLY
HEAVY RAIN. HOWEVER, ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS...HIGH HUMIDITY AND JUST
ENOUGH WIND SHEAR ALOFT...WERE STRONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE THIS 
ISOLATED SPIN-UP.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WOULD AGAIN LIKE TO THANK ALL OF THE 
PEOPLE WHO FORWARDED THE INFORMATION AND TOOK THE TIME TO DETAIL 
THEIR ACCOUNTS.

If only. Maybe the pattern towards the end of the month gets a little more favorable to advect some remnants in here.

Pattern tries to get more favorable but these EML plumes just totally get shot as they move into the upper-Midwest but if we can manage to be on the southern periphery of the jet that could help a bit.

Wednesday...

Interesting set up Wed as a fairly robust mid level trough moves
across the region providing good forcing for ascent. Steep mid level
lapse rates 6.5-7 C/km above warm and humid airmass will contribute
to a rather unstable environment with CAPES 1500-2500 J/kg.
Scattered to numerous showers/t-storms expected to develop along the
attendant cold front which slowly moves across SNE. Exact timing and
placement is uncertain but convection may begin during the morning
and continuing through the afternoon as front will be moving into
the region by Wed morning. Modest deep layer shear in place for
storm organization with 3km NAM indicating potential for
multicellular clusters. There appears to increasing risk for at
least a few strong to severe storms. Confidence in the details is
low at this point we are not yet in the window for the full suite of
Hi-res CAMs.

Models all over the place , but seems like one thing they agree on is a big damaging wind signal tonight in NNE and a general round of big lightning producers in SNE overnight. Tomorrow timing looks weird on NAm with it having severe storms by mid - late morning. Wonder if tomorrow’s threat ends up more I95 SE?

Upper low, models are going to suck on timing things. But that said if you can pop into clearing early tomorrow then the lower heights aloft mean you can get some good bangers by midday without "full" heating.
