Sunderland vt needs a warning

Growing up near ALB, I used to be furious every time Saratoga would get crushed. Saratoga to Bennington County in VT was always the path of destruction.

Obviously, a drought in a region like ours without a well defined dry season like the West into the Plains won’t be as severe since we average much more precipitation here. Yes, the NYC reservoirs are doing much better since the last water restrictions in 2001-2002. But agricultural interests will have issues in a warmer climate era with the heat causing more evaporation than the old days. Some smaller water district areas like portions of NJ they are getting close to having water supply conservation again after some reservoirs running very low a few years ago. We need more rain to remain out of drought since our climate has become so much warmer. Plus the expansive nature of the drought across the entire CONUS will have major impacts for many areas. So just by saying that NYC is doing fine compared to 2001-2002 misses the other consequences of expanding drought.

the fail mode is having the low trend too far north at the last minute but the ai eps has been steadfast

Maybe a chance?

Saratoga the thunderstorm deluge capital in the world. Every single time I'm there.

the 2026 illinois tornado total was at 134 prior to yesterday. combine yesterday with last thursday’s info still incomplete, and we’re probably right at the record currently.

Over 30” of rain reported with (obviously) catastrophic flooding in Avoyelles parish Louisiana

Congrats everyone else. As usual nothing expected here. forecast for me only shows 11% chance of rain today.

oh for sure, the imagery from TCVG was insane nonetheless with that storm that went through florence

That wind is whippin

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but is it possible that the rapid expansion of open-loop data centers is contributing to current drought conditions? Maybe not in the tri-state area but still food for thought.

Good! We needed to dry out. It was becoming like Florida. Not you, but to other posters… we are not in a drought! If you think this is a drought, you don’t even know what a drought is. Being abnormally dry is worlds away from drought conditions. anybody else remember John Paul, arriving at Newark and it raining and he showed the sprinkle sign from above? That was a drought. The early 2000s has another drought. anybody on here trying to make the past year sound like a drought, it’s just being sensationalist and trying to make something bigger than it is.

Weirdly enough much less wind when the storm got here. No lightning to speak of. But damn we got a lot of rain. Looks like about 2-3 inches per radar. Lots of street flooding here in Saratoga .

Sunny and soupy

85F/DP 68F Breezy to sometimes gusty...

GFS still has it as of now...but I could see that disappearing or missing south

Let the EF0 and EF1 show begin

Consistent thunder for the past hour or 90 minutes with downpours. Nothing severe or overly exciting besides heavy rainfall.

Tor Watch here. I'm skeptical.

amwx has a strict limit of 5 twitter links per person per day, obviously

T-watch Envious threat primarily N of Weatherwiz

I might be issuing a BUST WATCH for Monday as we get closer the way things have been verifying here lately.
