I feel like it might but hrrr wants to develop. I was referring more to the stuff near me. Congrats Taunton.

Just drove through the industrial park in Taunton on the way to Attleboro. Incredibly heavy rains and tons of lightning.

Yeah, it looked nasty on radar. Nice one.

yup...was hoping maybe it would intensify but nada thus far. 

But it is a bit more promising southwest back into PA

Too early in the day unfortunately...the stuff moving through now will just muck up the works for later...

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

745 AM Update...

Bit of an overhaul to the forecast. Leaned toward latest FV3
guidance as it is doing well based on latest observations. Added
a much more widespread thunder mention given its happening right
now with a few hundred J/kg of MUCAPE per SPC meso. Based on
this added thunder where CAPE AOA 500 J/kg, which matches well
with SPC latest Day 1 Outlook. Still thinking there could be
isolated severe storms with greatest risk of damaging winds
along with hail.

I was a bit surprised the point and click had this all out of here by 3pm? I thought this would go into the mid evening based on what I read yesterday?

Everything sped up by 6 hrs...there could be some action late but most of it looks to be done by 2pm at least for Western sections

ehhh the only difference between now and later is elevated convection versus surfaced-based convection. It's a favorable environment for elevated convection and hail. The damaging wind gust threat with this stuff is lower. While it would be higher later on, it may not be that much higher because llvl shear is pretty weak. 

I don't think there is that much of a difference if this stuff held off a few hours later

Haven't looked at much but knee jerk reaction to radar trends, ... this isn't doing much today N of about Meriden CT.

... even though there is no warm front being analyzed by WPC... the stuff in SE Mass included with the warned cell entering SW CT and extending back W along that axis, smacks as some sort of boundary.  It may be theta-e but I'm venturing that idea without looking. 

In general, sending anvil debris and light rain N of that ~ axis may not end well for them

It seems to be right along a weak theta-e boundary and nose of stronger mlvl jet. Also have the pressure trough kicking east

Greetings fellow New Englanders.
An exciting period ahead for severe enthusiasts.
I'm going to try to grace these pages with a post or two.
Startin with:
   Blitzortung.org - Live Lightning Map
I find this very informative combined with the GR product of choice.

Massive destructive cell over Danbury/Brookfield.

Looking SSW towards Southbury/Roxbury from Bethlehem.  Incoming.  Brother on 84 in Brookfield had to pull over it was so severe.
