I guess they are relying on the "in or around" aspect to capture and inform the risk ... lol Synoptic parameterization throughout the day today do not appreciably differentiate eastern interior MA, nor S. ME, from that region. But, I have not read their AFD; I may be missing something

Managed to get another 0.07 bringing July total to about 0.23". Many rain days, but little rain.

this illustration there is annoying... the arrow of the circulation eddy is pointed up demonstratively where they write "down" welling

And only east if you are north or south This looks very familiar.

Not much value in a 35-60" range, which is why you shouldn't bother to issue a seasonal snowfall map in July.

I had a Davis VP 2 years ago, as well.....agree that the maintenance is cumbersome and the data interface is not very user-friendly. Ambient is a nice alternative....not a huge step down in terms of accuracy and much less of a PIA. I've had it for about 7-8 years.

And south and north too.

I'm hoping we can get some steady rain. These fast downpours suck due to run off which does nothing to recharge groundwater Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Low of 71 with a rounded-up .01” of rain from a brief early morning mini shower. Late this afternoon could get very interesting around here.

They all are going to be like that today. The AFD kept hammering how efficient the warm rain process will be today with tall skinny cape and warm clouds up to 11k ft. A little blob is going to put down a whole lot of rain. Someone is going to see 2"-5" today. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

76 / 68 partly - mostly cloudy with some showers and storms isolated into E PA and southern areas. In / out of the clouds - warm mid 80s with some scattered storms in the pm and evening. Similar but warmer Friday and with enough clearing, 90 i the hottest locals. The weekend looks mainly dry but still some isolated storms possible Sat. The western ridge is building the the NE trough lifts out - heat pushes east towards the 14th and beyond with overall warm - hot in the period, and next shot at widespread strong (95+) heat 7/14 - 7/16.

Def. agree with raindance on volatility....probably going to be a potpourri of east-based, Modoki and MC forcing, with less emphasis on that latter relative to the past decade.

Probably a better shot than most of the past decade to be perfectly honest...it's been dry as hell.

...I have neighbors who have been in their pool countless times during thunderstorms...some people are lucky ..if I did that I'd be fried like bacon at a fast food place..

This morning shower was an over performer in Marysville with .60 of rain already today.

The models continue to show the WPAC, CPAC and EPAC waking up with TC’s. This is only going to keep the WWB train going and going….

He’s just sittin and smilin looking at qpf charts thru day 14

Webbed hands hanging onto us.

I read that article yesterday. I do agree that it is a worthwhile read. Within the last month I read the following 2 articles: both are worthwhile reads . https://fortune.com/article/gen-z-college-students-struggling-to-read-books-professors-forced-to-rethink-standards-warn-of-anxiety-lack-of-workplace-prepardness/ https://futurism.com/future-society/college-students-losing-ability-read It is very difficult to obtain an education without being able to read and to comprehend what is read. People who arent around kids don't realize how bad of an education many kids are receiving....and that includes many parents. At many schools the daily goal is " Let's not do anything that gets us on the 6 o'clock news"....serious issues are being swept under the rug.

people felt a 2.9?!

Heavy heavy rain in camp hill. These little cells are hyper efficient rain producers. I have a feeling the main issue today is going to be some bad flooding. The whole atmosphere is primed that way. Any storm damage is going to come from wet microbursts, but any wind is bad with weakend trees, now a wet upper soil. Uprooted trees are going to happen with any semi significant wind. Hopefully the bigger wind issues stay south today. I'll gladly take my chances with 5" of rain vs even a 40mph gust today Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

East wins

69 for the low. DP 67 Looks like people in the southern tier might see some serious storms today.
