CT Valley Snowman

Low of 44.4. still 47 pretty darn impressive

Decent flakes. Currier and Ives type stuff, lol.

Rude awakening.

Nice 8.16 near here as well. No wonder he temporarily vanished it doesn't fit the narrative, lol

Even with the COC here we will still manage about 6 above average for the high for one more day after five straight days of 90+.

Stormy afternoon here. Stein got clubbed and beaten down again.

Pretty meh here with the storms. 3 hours of almost constant thunder in the distance and 4 1/2 hours of nearly continual light rain, never a downpour, no wind , a few distant flashes. Just enough to ruin outdoor activities.

Unfortunately, I'm in the Sherwood Manor section of Enfield further north. Looks like a few miles S of me will get a much better drink from this first cell.

The main Windsor Locks cell looks to pass just S of here. We're getting light rain and almost constant thunder

Looks like storms are firing just to my west already

Up to 86.5 now with more sun

Lots of debris clouds and 82 here. Congrats eastern areas on the biggest torch today.

95 for the high here. Looks like DIT only hit 89 as well 15 miles to my southeast. Lower CTRV living FTW. Warmest temps occured on the downslope which also helped mix out the 59-61 dews. Feels gross now at 87/72

And just like that we have a dew of 70, lovely.

Dews are on the rise here after mixing out near 60 this afternoon

94 here.

94 here for the high. Humidity was tolerable along with a decent breeze in the afternoon. Great day for the kids to swim with their cousins for hours at Meme's pool while the adults chat, eat and have a couple of adult beverages. True summer vibe today.

93 here. Dews near 60 and a breeze.

90.4 here. Toasty.

92 here. Torch!!

BAF up to 90 with the downslope off the Berks I always like that section of the Pike where you Drop from like 1400' in Blandford to 200' in Westfield, ears popping from the elevation change, steep grade signs, trucks with flashers on in the right lane, and the runaway truck ramp at the bottom, usually about a 6 or 7 degree temp difference in that short stretch outside of CAD or inversion setups. I've hit some pretty dramatic rain to snow transitions there as well.

88 here now. Should have no problem hitting 90. The Rev is 83 I could see him hit 86 up on the hill. Perhaps tomorrow or Monday he gets his 90.

Starting to bang hear already.

71 for the high here, sorry to all those who were stuck in the 60s with showers and misery mist. Barely more than a couple sprinkles during the daylight hours here and a few peaks of sun mixed in. With dews in the 60s it had an late Spring /early Summer vibe.

I will never forget that day. Incredible excitement tracking the synoptic setup turning to sheer dread after seeing the city I spent 20 years of my life directly in the path of a EF-3 tornado. Initially unable to get ahold of my parents, who missed the tornado by 1 mile in Forest Park Springfield, but relieved to find out they were out and unable to find a path home but were safe. It took longer to hear from by brother in law's parents, who missed it by about .3 miles in Sixteen Acres Springfield. My Mom's cousin's house lost a roof near Plumtree Road. My wife was so pissed that I left her at 9 months pregnant to go run to Springfield while there was still severe weather and tornado warnings even after the initial tornado, but I had to see the damage and try to find out more. I still drive through the tornado scarred areas somewhat regularly. Never ceases to amaze me.
