HRRR and RRFS are in good agreement swaths up to 4" both SNE and NNE. Given how local media really leaned into drought conditions, this should silence them, EXCEPT BOS prop is still -8.45" for the yea (2" too low from the snow LEQ issues), while PVD/PWM are less than -3" and ORH/much of central and western new England are AOA Y-T-D! And the HRRR/RRFS seem to screw BOS again for sig rain. Gonna be a microdrought area soon! But no real impact since draining downstream and reservoirs to the W are filling up. Local drought is not the same as widespread drought. And short-term drought everywhere is not an issue now, it just long-term drought for deficits. I'm sure everyone's gardens large and small are doing just fine after the wet July, as one example!

I’ve had 15.58” since July 1. It’s moist out

.7 for the day - huge gradient immediately to the east

Region 1+2:

Side note: found this site recently. I may be behind the 8-ball and it's already well known around here but www.weatherfront.com is a newer model/radar site. I quite like it. Currently free as they are working on their Android rollout, already out on Iphone.

HRRR keeps the heaviest BAF-MHT south. Another valley 8” spot in CT.

I’ll make a note of this and perhaps entertain working on something that’s rainfall centric. I want to generate something that like this for higher profile events in the past for the Excessive Rainfall Outlook (ERO) desk, so perhaps this will be a reason to create a repository of events. We currently do Storm Summaries for winter events only, so maybe we can do something for the more formidable rainfall events. It would take a lot of time because we want the best information possible and strong write ups, so it would be a while, but I’ll certainly look into starting a project. Thanks Matt

Nothing unusual with a few trees flipping early.

I just found an up to date (July 29th) source of worldwide burnt acreage in 2026 vs 2012-25: I don’t want to minimize how terrible these fires are wherever they occur and also I realize there’s CC contribution to these though it’s pretty complex. However, it just so happens that the two lowest years of year to date burnt world acreage since 2012 as of week 30 (~July 29th) are none other than 2026 (lowest with 112 million ha) and 2025 (2nd lowest with 131). The remainder are way up at 162-216. The avg of 2012-25 is 193. Thus, 2026 is a whopping 81 million ha below the 2012-25 week 30 world avg! I’m guessing it’s probably caused largely by more favorable wx (some combo of wetter (like in S America) as well as fewer lightning strikes, lower temps, and/or lighter winds in dry areas), fewer arsonists, and/or better firefighting: @donsutherland1@WolfStock1

2.9” including torrential rounds of downpours this afternoon.

Actually looks & feels like fall ish outside.

Finally getting some of the goods here after being mainly dry all day. Just had a heavy burst of rain. .45" according to the latest look at the Tempest gauge.

Even saw a few around here.. ill snap a Pic tomorrow if I remember

Light rain coming in. So disgusting out earlier while putting down fungicide.

1.1” here

So, why does snowman think it's okay to say that someone has "latent homosexual tendencies" in a way that is clearly meant to be derogatory and homophobic? Is this someone we want on this weather forum?

Supposedly they are coming to visit us.

Wouldn’t mind if it missed a bit here. We had 5” last Thursday and the rain will delay the road project here. (Plus it cools off our pool)

Toledo had 1.51" of rain on Aug 1-Aug 2. There were non-thunderstorm areas that stalled in the middle of the night/morning hours. Areas of 1" to 3" hit the area. It was much needed. My area got missed by rain a few days ago, with the SPC 30% wind risk. 1" is with some of the lighter green colors

If I cant find any plots that show above 4C for AAM, then I'll have to compute to see what it is, but I'd really like to see the maxima on these runs because my goodness...lol
