CT Valley Snowman

On my way home now but from what I can tell looks like only about 3" in my area vs 5-6 just SE.  You know it's bad when your commenting on only 3".  

Brutal ride to Hartford

95/73.  Toasty.

Storm damage around town.  Had a few more photos that exceed the upload size. Most concentrated areas seems to be on route 5 and near to just south of 190.  

Damage and sirens and flooding here.  Incredible lightning to boot.  Awesome storm.  

We just got smoked

Heard a few shotgun pops trees cracking

Clobbered 

Managed  to  hit 96  just before 4:00 here with a late rise, BAF as well.  HI  103-104.

Seems like congrats north of Pike? Was hoping something could trickle N CT

 

There's some storms forming further south near POU that should make their way into CT. 

Seems pretty meh around here. 94/71 is hot but not excessive heat warning material.  Was thinking we could pull  98 or 99 today but doubting that now.

Waze shows us the way.  I-90 to I-84 and got off in Tolland, passed Kloter Farm, up Rt 140, to Enfield

You definitely didn’t drive thru Tolland to get to Enfield . Probably went thru Windham county thru Tol County into Ashford  and Willington. And if so , this suggests drinking while driving because that’s not a direct route and went way out of way 

That's plausible if one is travelling more on the S/SE side of the Enfield. 140 does curve north and intersects 191 quite close to the south side of Enfield.  Coming from 84, I  usually get off further NE in Union and take 190 and than cut up Somers Rd in Somers up to 220 to get to my area of Enfield.  There has also been construction delays on 190 in Stafford and Waze has been rerouting traffic at times.  He's right that Tolland/ Ellington are more rural/suburban towns, downright country in some areas , but also pretty scenic.  It's definitely a bit  longer for me, but I enjoy driving that route sometimes to reminisce and enjoy the scenery as we drive by our old place in Ellington.

18z NAM agrees but holds it off til Thursday

Yeah I'm fine with that on Thursday. Modeling had been creeping west with the initial wave on Wednesday but I think that stays offshore, or at least east of CT.    Probably not ideal beach weather on Wednesday in CT with the clouds and NE flow but as long as it's not a washout I'll take it. 

I have a beach day planned on Wednesday near Madison Connecticut.  Is that wave of low pressure going to keep trending closer? The rain shield seems to be inching closer with every model run

This is from an ambient weather station on the south side of Forest Park.  

Not sure if this is all 100% accurate , especially high temps when the sensors get a bit extra sun and dews tend to run a bit high at times compared to  BDL, CEF, etc  but this is the closest closest PWS in my area of Enfield in July. Definitely the wettest month since I've been living here for sure.

Huge cell blew up just south. Can hear the thunder ughhh

Not surprised.  I know the outflow cooled air was gonna kill things up here.  My sister in Windsor should be getting a good storm.  

Outflow was better than the storm so far here

Outflow winds were impressive,  heard a couple of limbs crack next street over but we're down to 71  here now with sprinkles and a cool stiff N wind.  

Can definitely smell the smoke out there as well.  

87 and the smoke plume has really rolled in now.  

Nice little flare up there on the Connecticut coast, maybe Mr Windcredible finally gets his storm.
