Westward Shift

132 Comments

12:51AM

Before I update the coming weather, a quick look back at the surprise “severe weather outbreak” of Monday. I put it in quotes, because it was not a severe outbreak in the classic sense. What these storms were made of was low level wind sheer. The storm tops were not very high. They were not typical storms, producing large hail and widespread damaging winds. Lightning was sparse at best. These storms were more like what you might see in a land-falling tropical storm, producing relatively weak spin ups (very brief and weak tornadoes), still capable of producing damage, however.

The set-up that caused this will still exist today (Tuesday), and though storms and showers may be a little less numerous overall, we will still have to watch for the possibility of isolated flooding downpours and isolated tornadoes and/or micro bursts in rapidly-developing tropical showers and storms. A very warm and humid tropical air flow will provide plenty of fuel for this.

As we have been discussing, the retrogression (westward movement) of the ridge of high pressure in the western Atlantic Ocean is underway and will continue through this week. After today, it means a decrease in thunderstorm activity, coverage-wise, though the threat will still exist at times, mainly in isolated form. It also means an increase in heat, and a continuation of humidity. This will include the Independence Day holiday and through the extended weekend following it. Anybody with outdoor plans should take precautions to stay protected from the sun, stay hydrated, and watch for any thunderstorms that develop or move into the region.

Updated forecast for southeastern New England (RI, eastern MA, southern NH)…

TODAY: Mostly cloudy with scattered to numerous showers and embedded thunderstorms. Isolated storms may produce damaging wind and local flash flooding. Very humid. Highs middle 70s South Coast to 80-85 interior areas. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lingering showers becoming isolated then ending. Very humid. Lows middle 60s to 70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with patchy fog early, then partly sunny. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon. Humid. Highs upper 70s to middle 80s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY – INDEPENDENCE DAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated thunderstorms mainly late day and early evening favoring far northern MA and southern NH. Low 70. High 87.

FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated late-day thunderstorms. Low 70. High 90.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Isolated late-day thunderstorms. Low 71. High 91.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Isolated late-day thunderstorms. Low 70. High 90.

MONDAY: Sunny. Low 69. High 88.

  2. Thank you TK and I hope you continue to feel better.

    Your comments with regard to yesterday’s weather mirrored JRs as the weather was happening. He repeatedly said it was not Moore OK tornado weather but more what we’d see from a hurricane. I’m not sure that makes us feel much better at the time but it was reassuring nonetheless.

    OS and Tom, some of my family members were following the discussion here. Suffice to say…you have some very impressed fans :).

    1. Vicki,

      We just do what we enjoy here, that is all. But many thanks just the same.

      I think I am particularly tuned into the tornado situations because when I was
      younger my friends and I were out fishing some 5 miles from home (via bicycle). There was a TORNADO WATCH up so my Mom came looking for us, found us, put the bikes in the car and got us home. ( luckily I was smart enough to let my Mother know where we would be) Turns out there was too much cloudiness and no tornadoes in our area. Closest one was like Schenectady, NY.

      1. OS – I remember way back on the BZ weather blog – which I’ve said here before – when you picked up on a tornado potential and I called my kids who were heading in that exact direction and they turned around and came home. I know you do what you enjoy and I also know that you have great insight into tornadoes. I’m always happy to see you on when there is a threat 🙂

  3. Some posts I made late last night that may have been missed by most:

    Absolutely incredible photos!! and to think that we could see the tornadic
    signature and rotation on the radar!! Awesome day in New England weather.

    Here’s a cool map from TWC. Number of days since last tornado warning.
    Interesting that for MA, 0 days. Pretty awesome.

    From the NWS, June rainfall comparisons for the 4 major climate stations in the area:

  4. Here’s the latest from the SPC. Not much shaking here:

    http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1probotlk_1200_torn.gif

    No severe threats, but they maintain this 2% chance of tornadoes area.
    Yesterday, they initially had it to our West, then shifted it Eastward. I wonder
    IF the same will happen today?

    We’ll have to watch it. My gut says, no tornado warnings today, but it’s New England which is full of weather surprises, so we’ll keep an eye on things just in case. 😀

  5. From the NWS office at Taunton:

    …A COMBINATION OF DAYTIME HEATING
    AND A SECONDARY LLJ PUSHES N FROM THE MID ATLANTIC. THE
    COMBINATION OF THESE TWO FEATURES LOOK TO YIELD ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. WITH A SIMILAR SETUP TO YESTERDAY…THREATS ARE MUCH THE SAME

  6. yesterday we were seeing the sun here much more than we are today. Well, we haven’t seen it at all this morning. Yesterday, it came out blazing between every little disturbance we had in the morning/early pm hours. Temp is the same at 76.7 but the dp point is down to 72 from yesterday afternoon’s 76

  7. Yesterday we were socked in the clouds and thanks to the low level wind shear it produced an EF 1 tornado in the Windsor Locks area. The tornado had winds of 90 mph and was on the ground for 2.25 miles.

  8. Now with the update from the SPC the 2% chance for tornado covers all of SNE with the exception of The Cape and Islands.
    If someone could check that out thanks since my computer when I hit the refresh button on that page doesn’t update the probabilities sometimes but updates the discussion.

  9. Let’s turn our attention to the upcoming weather which is going to be fantastic if you like it hot.possible heatwave is in the cards.

    1. Looking forward to it. Beach days & fireworks for me the rest of this week starting tomorrow (except July 4th on the banks of the Charles of course).

    1. OS – do you have any idea why there are no watches? If nothing else, they at least alert people that the potential exists and in large part I think people are better tuned in if they know there is a watch.

      1. I don’t understand it.

        Tom posted something yesterday that just might explain it, but I can’t find it and don’t have time to keep digging for it.

        But it could be that this situation only supports WEAK tornadoes with no High Top super cells with wide-spread wind and hail. These things are brief spin ups as TK called them and perhaps it just isn’t a big deal to them. I don’t know.

        Seems to me the situation yesterday was worthy of
        a lengthy MD discussion and then a TORNADO WATCH
        over most of the area.

        We’ll see what they do today.

        1. There was a situation like that last August. At that time the SPC issued a tornado watch for about 4 5 hours after
          a tornado warning was issued for southern CT for eastern parts of SNE.. It was the same setup that we had yesterday with the potential for brief spin ups.

          1. I was thinking the same reasoning OS gave but it appears with what you said, JJ, that it is not consistent.

            I am huge on an overabundance of caution, especially when people tend to ignore warnings. I know if I go out for the day, I prepare very differently when I know there might be a threat (e.g, unplug computers, take deck umbrella right out of base, etc). They are little things but I had no idea until my niece txt’d me and then I got on here that the possibility existed.

  11. Nothing too severe today, things will be calmer for sure. Heading to Fenway tonight so OS I expect you to keep it away 🙂

  12. If the threat looks isolated for severe or as the SPC calls it marginal they won’t issue a watch. Still I would pay attention to the radar because as we saw yesterday you could still get severe thunderstorm or even tornado warnings even though a watch is not issued.

  13. Looks a touch more stable today… But still unstable enough for tropical poppers…

  14. I happened to catch BB this morning on ch 4 and like TK, he had around 90F, + or – a little starting Thursday, and said the possibility exists for a 7 day heatwave, starting Thursday.

    1. I don’t like that kind of weather. My wife does NOT do well in the heat
      and humidity!!!@()#()!@&#*(&!*(@#&*(!@^#^!@&*#%^&!@#!&*@#

      1. Agreed, I’m not a big fan of this either, especially the 70-75F dewpoints. Give me about 85-86F, with dewpoints around 60F, a handful of cumulus clouds to provide occasional breaks from the sun and I’m content.

        The last few days, I imagine, is June thru September weather in Florida.

      2. Ok I had to stop laughing before I could see to type. Do you not like the weather

        1) simply because you do not like it
        2) for your wife’s benefit
        3) for your wife’s benefit because when she is unhappy…(you know the rest)

        Sorry – your wording cracked me up and I know what Mac’s answer would be 🙂 🙂 🙂

        2. All of the Above! 😀

          I don’t mind it for a few days. When it gets to be a week or more, FUGGUTTABOUTIT!!! 😀

    2. It is certainly possible.

      Once retrogression has peaked the ridge will probably flatted a bit as disturbances from the west ride over it. The question will be if any can dig and knock it down enough to break the heat the establishes starting tomorrow afternoon. It may be a while.

      GFS, which had done well, is now over-amplifying the pattern too much late in the period, so that’s tossed. Euro may be getting its act together after having over-forecast the scope of things.

  15. Some LOW temps this morning from California:

    Furnace Creek: 103
    Stovepile Wells: 105

    What an invigorating morning for a walk! 😉

  16. I’m going to guess yesterday’s action was in part, caused by a disturbance in the overall flow, that traveled right up the coast. As I recall, the action started in NJ, obviously made its mark in CT, before crossing north and northeastern Mass.

    So, should we be watching this batch of seemingly unimpressive showers in central NJ ? Is it a disturbance to follow… or, is today’s activity going to be more pop-up in nature ?

    1. Latest Discussion From NWS out of Taunton
      JUST A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS MOVING NE ACROSS SNE THIS MORNING. SFC
      BOUNDARY IS LOCATED ACROSS S NH AND S VT AND IS FORECAST TO
      SLOWLY LIFT N TODAY. TROPICAL AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE WITH NICE
      TROPICAL CONNECTION FROM THE CARIBBEAN NORTH ALONG THE E COAST.
      PWATS NEAR 2″ WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 70S. EXPECT SCT TO
      NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON WITH
      PRIMARY AXIS ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND LIKELY CLOSER TO NW ZONES
      WHERE LOW LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE AXIS SETS UP AND CLOSEST TO SFC
      BOUNDARY. WHILE HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING
      REMAINS THE PRIMARY THREAT…WE STILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR
      POSSIBLE STRONGER STORMS THIS AFTERNOON. MLCAPES OF 1000-1500
      J/KG EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON WITH 0-6KM SHEAR NEAR 30 KT.
      INSTABILITY IS A LITTLE GREATER THAN YESTERDAY WHILE SHEAR IS A
      LITTLE LESS. BUT ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A FEW ROTATING STORMS IN
      SIMILAR TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW LCL HEIGHTS…ESPECIALLY AS
      MODEST LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS THIS AFTERNOON

    2. I don’t know tom. The only thing I can see on the models is the
      low level shear. Surface winds are almost DUE South, while at a mere
      5,000 feet they are straight SW and it stays SW from there on up, so any shear is at the low levels. With the instability, that “might” be just enough for some of these brief spin ups. Who knows.

      I see that action in NJ. We’ll watch it. Hard to pick out those upper
      disturbances looking at model data. I’ll take a quick look at the RAP model.

  17. Hi everyone!

    Happy 4th week!

    We are headed to Buffalo Wednesday – Sunday. Their forecasters seem to vary quite a bit. Any thoughts from our experts here about weather over there??

    1. I’d feel better if TK answered your question …. but, I think the general idea is that this rainy conduit, which has been in western MA and eastern NY is supposed to be slowly trending westward …. eventually to be pushed even further west of the Buffalo area.

      So, a complete guess would be showery weather Wenesday-Thursday, slowly trending towards only scattered pm showers/storms with temps slowly increasing each day and getting more and more muggy.

      Enjoy your trip !

    2. Timing is always tough of course but I think it breaks down like this:

      Wednesday-Thursday: You are under the belt of tropical moisture pushed westward from the retrograding ridge so you’ll have about a 50/50 shot of showers/thunderstorms at any time but favoring the afternoon-evening. Highs around 80 both days.

      Friday: The belt lessens its grip a bit, more like isolated afternoon and evening thunder threat. High in the lower 80s.

      Saturday: I think you escape a shower/storm threat this day with more sun but also a bit warmer and quite humid (80s).

      Sunday: A disturbance from the west may kick off a few showers/storms but largely rain-free, still warm and humid (lower 80s at least).

  18. this is disgusting birthday weather, all i hope is that it does not rain any time after 4pm,today and it does not rain on the forth and the 7th

    4. Happy Birthday Matt! Mine is tomorrow, didnt realize we had such close bdays. Best time of the year to have a bday IMO, fireworks and cookouts! 🙂

      1. exactly ace, best time. fireworks,cookouts and pool its best time for cookouts and parties. 🙂 Just hope that sunday of all days will be the best of the weekend

      2. I saw that on my calendar and Happy Birthday to you also Ace. I believe John’s is the 6th?? We seem to have them in groups.

  20. Portland, ME at 11am, 61F, dewpoint at 59F … North wind at 12mph. Maine coast has its own climate. 🙂

  21. The atmosphere is unstable and were going to see more of that today. Hopefully we won’t be dealing with severe weather today. I am going to be watching that radar because as we saw yesterday with the tornado that hit the Windsor Locks area there was hardly anything than bam that storm exploded into a mini supercell producing an EF 1 tornado. I am not saying that is going to happen today but something to keep an eye on.

  22. Wow, cells popping right at the border of Mass/NH along the immediate coastline. 5 minutes ago, nothing. The heaviest cell looks to be just offshore.

    1. I was just going to post that, you beat me to it.

      Here’s the radar:

      http://www.wunderground.com/radar/radblast.asp?zoommode=pan&prevzoom=zoom&num=10&frame=0&delay=15&scale=0.370&noclutter=0&ID=BOX&type=N0R&showstorms=0&lat=0&lon=0&label=you&map.x=400&map.y=240&scale=0.370&centerx=253&centery=437&showlabels=1&rainsnow=0&lightning=1&lerror=20&num_stns_min=2&num_stns_max=9999&avg_off=9999&smooth=0

      So there is some action beginning.

      Hard to say where storms will or will not pop, but it certainly is beginning.

      1. Haha … Forgive me, I’m getting my weather fix now, because on Friday, we take off for 3 weeks with the camper to Nova Scotia.

        2. Sighhhh – may I join you please. Three weeks. Wow. I know I’ve said that is where Mac’s family arrived a few generations ago from Scotland. It is lovely there and I am anxious to go back. What areas, Tom, if you don’t mind my asking and if you have time to respond.

          We stayed in Antigonish (which I still cannot pronounce). I would like to go to Bible Hill as Mac’s great grandfather was the minister of one of the church’s there and is buried there with his family.

          I am thinking Cape Breton may be one of your areas??

          1. Mostly Cape Breton. We’ll take a couple nights, 2 stops, to get there. We’ll spend about a week on the western side of the island, just south of Cheticamp and then a week on the northernmost part of the island, near a town called Glace Bay, where my wife has relatives. Then, we’ll slowly meander back, taking 4 or 5 days somewhere near the Fundy trail (I hope). Then, when we get back, it’ll nearly be August, and I’ll be ready to pick up my teacher’s editon math books and go into my room and get it ready. 🙂

            Antigonish, Vicki, when you went, do you recall if you ate at Mother Webb’s ? Best hot turkey sandwich around. I’m already driving my wife crazy that we MUST stop there.

            Thanks OS and yes Matt, it absolutely is ! Rain, drizzle, fog, but somehow, its still really nice up there. The residents up there think its hot when it hits 25C, which I think is about 77F or 78F. Have to brush up on my C tables, as well as my KM per hr coversions. Nothing like seeing that speed limit sign that says 90. (km per hr) 🙂

            1. What a GREAT trip/vacation.

              And we did eat at Mother Webb’s. It was the first place we went and we went back!

            2. Tom…hope you have a great time up there. Back in 91 my wife to be and I spent a week up there doing the “Lighthouse trail” (from Yarmouth to Halifax). A must stop in Lunneberg..great little town. One thing we noted was that even on the Atlantic side water temps were warmer than Maine. Now if you go the northwest part of Nova Scotia and face PEI and the Northumberland Strait you will find the warmest water temps north of Virginia.

  23. Nothing at all cooking in Massachusetts at the moment.

    I’m wondering IF we’ll have a quiet afternoon. PLENTY of time for that to change, however.

    We shall see.

  25. Just checking in briefly.

    It has been humid. My goodness! Today feels slightly better than yesterday, but only a tad. Last night, Matt Noyes said that Boston’s dewpoint was in the mid 70s. Very different up in Quebec City this week where the dewpoint has been in the 40s (highs in the upper 50s and low 60s)! Talk about a contrast. I’m headed up there next month for the half-marathon. Of course, it’ll be humid when I arrive.

    I am very much looking forward to a shift in weather, with more of a NW flow and drier air. Doesn’t look imminent. But, I’m patient at this point.

    Have a Happy 4th everyone. Be safe!

  27. Some 1PM New Hampshire Observations:

    Mount Washington, NH

    Last Updated: Jul 2 2013, 12:51 pm EDT
    Weather: Light Showers Rain Fog and Windy
    Temperature: 55.0 °F (13.0 °C)
    Dewpoint: 55.4 °F (13.0 °C)
    Wind: from the West at 27.6 gusting to 32.2 MPH (24 gusting to 28 KT)

    Note WEST wind at 6,000 feet. Hmmm

    Isle of Shoals – Temperature: 59.2 °F (15.1 °C)
    Portsmouth – Temperature: 62.0 °F (16.9 °C)
    Rochester – Temperature: 62.0 °F (16.7 °C)
    Concord – Temperature: 67.0 °F (19.4 °C)

    This map gives a reasonable representation of where the front was.
    I thought that with the retrograding Bermuda High, that these back door
    cold fronts were a thing of the past for at least 7 days??????????????

    YIKES. Probably WHY there is convection in New Hampshire? no? 😀

      1. From NWS:

        SFC BOUNDARY REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY FROM CENTRAL VT TO S NH. SPC MESOANALYSIS SHOWS MLCAPES HAVE INCREASED TO 1500 J/KG SO WE EXPECT CONVECTION TO INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE ACROSS THE INTERIOR THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. LOW LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE SUGGESTS N CT AND WESTERN MA WILL BE MOST FAVORABLE REGION FOR STORM INITIATION IN THE NEAR TERM. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL REMAINS THE PRIMARY THREAT BUT EFFECTIVE SHEAR IS NEAR 30 KT WHICH IS SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT A FEW ORGANIZED STORMS WITH ROTATING UPDRAFTS POSSIBLE. NO CHANGES TO PREVIOUS FORECAST.

      2. Wow! Snuck? It roared down the coast. I’ll bet anything
        that it reaches Boston really Soon! 😀 😀 😀

        Altimeter: 30.17 in Hg

  28. Impressive back-door. 2nd thing in 2 days that messed with my forecast. 🙂

    It APPEARS to be putting the brakes on finally.

    1. 3PM obs has front placed somewhere between Beverly and Boston.
      Still 81 at the airport with SOUTH wind at 10 mph, while Beverly is at
      67 with a NE winds at 13 gusting to 20!!

      1. Still NO CONVECTION in Massachusetts. You’d think there
        would be some by now. Beginning to think there will be
        NONE! 😀

  30. I’ll be … It made it to Logan ! Down several degrees, along with the dewpoint and a NE wind.

    1. In fact, dewpoint down from 72F to 63F, that must feel nice !! Could it make it about 20 more miles ?

  32. Temperature climbed to 81 with a steady 72 dp…..did someone send the heat they got rid of to Framingham??

  33. Wow, it came through eastern Marshfield, temp and dewpoint drop, windshift to NE, like someone opened up the fridge door.

    2. Ok that’s just plain rubbing it in…..now I am sad and I think I must go out for dinner.

  34. Relative to a lot of the low stratus clouds, I can see some taller cumulus clouds on the NW horizon, perhaps 20 miles or so NW of rte 3, lined up in a SW to NE orientation. Something may pop yet.

  35. TK…What exactly is in the western Atlantic causing the Bermuda high to retrograde so far westward? If only systems would flow normally from west to east and we could tap some of that nice summer polar air in the upper Midwest.

    I absolutely hate HHH…and it could last days and days. The 90+ heat wave record for Boston is 9 days set July 3-11, 1912. 🙁 🙁

    2. Without getting into technical details, retrogression is a somewhat natural progression of large scale features at upper levels, driven by a combination of Earth’s rotation and naturally occurring flows in both air and ocean currents, having impact on the atmosphere. Certain regions of the world generate or maintain high or low pressure at altitude, and when this process is ongoing, normal forcing sometimes makes large scale features move “backwards” or against the typical west to east flow we usually see.

  36. Well the back door cold front made it through the rest of the City around 6 or so.

    Here it is currently 72. I’m actually feeling cool as I type this with the windows open. 😀

  38. We are back from dinner at a restaurant we enjoy in Ashland where we decided to eat out on their patio. It wasn’t bad for 84 deg as there was a breeze. I’m sticking my fingers in my ears and ignoring any discussion here of a cold front. Its still 82 here.

    1. It came thru Marshfield 3.5 hrs ago and hasnt made it to Plymouth, which cant be 10 miles away. 63F with fog lowering.

  41. I’m really wondering whats going on in west-central NH…… Areas that had flash flooding around 5-6pm (see WMUR) are getting hit repeatedly again.

  42. Feels great outside. Thank goodness for cold fronts. I’ve opened the windows and am enjoying this respite from the heat and humidity.

  43. Beautiful night, getting ready for the Harvard pilgrims 10K at Gillette stadium tomorrow evening, then tailgating and fireworks, should be fun, there expecting 20-30,000 in attendance and about 8,000 runners, good night all and happy 4th!!

  44. The nice refreshing air from the ocean is likely going to be the last for quite awhile. I hope next week this time relief will be in sight.

      1. I don’t know where you are located, but the front stalled just shy of 495 and is inching back eastward as of this posting…UGH!

  49. Back door front has pushed Northward. Boston curretnly into the Tropical flow
    once again. That didn’t last long, but did give us one comfortable night. 😀

    Reading SPC and NWS discussion, I don’t see any convection for the Boston
    area today. Of course it is always possible, but I don’t see it happening.
    (Watch today will be the day we get blasted! 😀 😀 :D)

    If we get enough sunshine, we “may” make a run at 90 today even though highs
    are forecast for the med-upper 80s. 😀

    Here’s a thought…

    With this LONG protracted Fetch of Southerly and SouthWesterly flow around the big
    Bermuda high, warmer ocean surface temperatures form farther South will be pushed up in this direction. Could be meaningful if/when a Hurricane threatens the area later this Summer. Generally we never have this situation last long enough to mean anything, but I am wondering if the length of this event MAY actually transport
    warmer ocean surface temperatures????

  50. Big night at Patriot Place tonight, the Harvard Pilgrims 10K with everyone finishing at the 50 yd line, then tailgating and fireworks, another tradition we’ve done for years and it rapidly grown from a few hundred runners to 8,000 runners, enjoy the day
