Have to keep an eye on that Mass. storm. The merger is almost complete with the former north storm and the southern storm that hit Springfield. See if it gets complete and gets the engine going again.

I usually go home to my parents house in Northeast Connecticut the week after Memorial Day and this year I didnt because of my work schedule. My heart breaks for this area as they haven't had a storm like this since 53.

[snoopj]

Renamed topic since there's more out there than just Massachusetts with some storms in the New England area this evening.

VALID 012147Z - 012245Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 411 CONTINUES.

ONGOING SEVERE CONVECTION...INCLUDING A CLASSIC
SUPERCELL...CONTINUES TRACKING EWD ACROSS PORTIONS OF MA AND CT.
WHILE LOW-LEVEL PARCEL TRAJECTORIES OFF THE WRN ATLANTIC LEADING
THIS CONVECTION ARE SUPPORTING SOME WEAK CONVECTIVE INHIBITION EAST
OF TORNADO WATCH 411...EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR MAGNITUDES OF 40-45 KT
COMBINED WITH MUCAPE VALUES AROUND 3000 J/KG WILL MAINTAIN AT LEAST
A THREAT FOR ELEVATED SEVERE CONVECTION TO THE COASTLINE. THE
PRIMARY THREAT COULD EVOLVE TOWARD LARGE HAIL OVER THE NEXT COUPLE

A CONTINUING DMGG WIND POTENTIAL. THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW TORNADOES
MAY ALSO BE MAINTAINED GIVEN EFFECTIVE SRH VALUES AROUND 300
M2/S2...PARTICULARLY WHERE THE MARINE LAYER IS RELATIVELY MORE
SHALLOW. FOR THESE REASONS...THE TORNADO WATCH IS BEING EXPANDED
EASTWARD TOWARD THE COAST UPON COORDINATION WITH THE TAUNTON WEATHER
