Nice little firehose setting up for eastern mass. This will hopefully help us make up the deficit this afternoon and evening. Get them rafts and dingies ready!

We dry out a few days before we get back into more rainfall. This is a drought buster pattern. Asheville has nearly 9 inches This month and Raleigh has nearly 13 inches which is more rainfall in 1 month than the past 6 months combined.

I've had 0.61" MTD and my skeeters are as bad as ever. Mother nature's Eiffel Tower this month over here.

Absolutely wild comeback this morning. Textbook ERC and, under pristine conditions it didn't take long go nuclear for a second time in 2 days. What a specimen

How about since May 1

With 15 plus inches since the middle of May, good. It's plenty lush enough and wells are full

BDR is 2nd wettest July. Record is 12.84 July 71.

Hoping this is a start of a new cooler, wetter trend for us.

Holy shit are we talking record July down there? Squitos must be brutal

Looking at the ensembles and other guidance, I do think if the overall 500mb pattern is true...we might get a shot at more NW flow-style severe events beyond the first week of August. While not perfect matches, I do see an similar angle to the 500mb flow from some of our notable severe events from the past.

Looks like E CT/RI going to be slotted soon, congrats SE Mass?

Does not look to be stopping anytime soon. 12z HRRR has it ripping through 00z/8pm tonight at least with another 2-3".

My uncle's 8" rain gauge southwest of Albany (Slingerlands) was full.

I knew if we could get some sun we'd be cooked. From west to east. Some crazy cells popped up and extremely heavy rainfall.

Ah pull out the good ole Aifs when you can’t find anything else .. and then make sure everything is over 300 hours at a certain timestamp

Trees are the real killer to reliability. A major issue is that we're getting to the point in some of the older suburbs / planned communities that the trees planted at the time of housing construction are reaching the post-maturity age. They are going to fail/fall, and unless the landowner / HOA / town / county is on top of it (they are not), then you're gonna get outages with 30 mph gusts.

just locked in my ceiling plan for oil delivery next 12mo, brutal. Thanks dementia don for Making Everything Expensive Again.

Meanwhile all the PEPCO hate from the 2000s and 2010s has largely faded. Their tree trimming program and preventive maintenance has been absurd the past 10 years or so. An event like yesterday in the earlier 2000s could have easily have 250K+ customers without power in the region.

Do you think I’ll see one this summer? I honestly don’t . These things set patterns early in season. You always notice the same areas get hit over and over. An example is my dad’s in New Milford. Dudes had at least 10 legit storms this summer including trees down in 2 of them . I talked to him yesterday and he had just gotten crushed Monday night . Meanwhile can’t buy a bolt here

According to their mesonet: 4-6 inch totals up that way since last night. 7-9 inch totals for the past 24 hours. Someone is underwater with those amounts.

Captured a funnel cloud south of Swepsonville:

Lives will never be the same after the eyewall goes through.

It’s 2026, I’m sure Ch6 could create an AI generated Jim O’Brien to takeover.
