Below is a Doppler Radar animation of the severe thunderstorms across Long Island and southeast Connecticut that brought significant straight line wind damage. Wind speeds were estimated between 70 and 90 mph. The animation shows Reflectivity (left, intensity of precipitation) and Velocity (right, radar detected wind speeds) data beginning 3:33 am and ending at 6:29 am on August 4, 2015. The signatures depicted by the radar data are consistent with straight line wind damage. Highlighted in the animation are Severe Thunderstorm Warnings (yellow boxes) and Special Marine Warnings (light blue boxes) that we issued as well as icons that represent wind damage and hail reports. Time indicated in top right of each panel is in Universal Time (UTC) Animation is best viewed in full screen.
