CT Valley Snowman

Yeah man was gripping the steering wheel tight near exit 46-47 in Enfield, looks like mainly some leaves small branches right here.  My empty garbage cans blew about 20 feet.  

95/70

GFS canadaian and icon all take it close to SNE at 12z but still offshore

Its historically and climatologically favored to do so.  Need to see some type of deepening trough to the west and a blocking ridge to the east with a strong S flow that slingshots the storm up the coast.  Many times the storms recurve around the ridge and/or or get pushed out to sea by the westerlies.  Seems like the Carolinas could be more favored if the ridge remains strong and in place longer but who really knows at this point.  

Who gets the honor of posting that bad boy?

Strong to perhaps a few marginally severe storms tomorrow with the cold front.  

Who knows.  Maybe this verifies next Sat but not holding my breath.  

Crawling instead of marching it would seem.  

Combination of dews and heat has been impressive.  The dews may have helped on a few occasions from realizing the true atmospheric potential on the thermometer in terms of triple digit heat hear in the valley, but the combo along with the tropical rains have certainly been impressive.  Next week looks hot regardless of how much of a door/ocean/cloud cover influence attempts to try to temper things.  Seasonal trend has been for that to be overplayed. Hopefully we see some more chamber weather 2nd half of the month.  Haven't looked at it much so that's more of a sentimental notion. Ready to start moving beyond this and start thinking about frost covered pumpkins and foliage.  

73 here.  Lol at 83.  Might hit 100 with that launching pad.

95 for the high at BDL.  96 here.  Phone was reading 97 with a HI of 108 in downtown Springfield earlier.  Dog days for sure.  Early dismissal tomorrow for the 1st day of school, lol.  

Low of 50.6 .  A bit of haze from the western fires in the sky.  

Yeah.  BDL just south of here is 8.81 for August so far.  Damp times.  

We bang again around here. This pattern has been relentless ,especially across the interior.  

Only about .25 or so here all weekend here.  Not complaining at all. Sun poked through and was able to get yardwork done which hasn't been easy this summer. 

Storms do finally seem to be weakening now but that tweet gave the impression we would be in the clear by 8 or 9 at the latest.  Anyways off to bed thankfully no power, flooding issues here now.   

Best lightning for me in many, many years.  So many close strikes earlier, house rattling piercing type thunder and just prolific lightning both in cloud and cloud to ground.   Power off an on several times.  It's been one hell of a stormy night. 

Lol,  I cut back to 2-3 miles 3 days a week in this crap.  Indoor supplement if needed.

Today was day #24 of 90+ BDL. Record is 38. 15 more. Who thinks in this pattern that is doable?

Box climate summary has BDL at 22 days so far on their website.  4 days  in May, 4 in June, 11 in July, and 3 so far in August.  

Several Reports of trees and wires down around town even a tree onto a house.  Looks like the worst was a bit east and south of here.  Impressive gust front and lighting/downpours for sure.  

Not severe but a darn good storm here.  40 mph winds with torrential rain and vivid lightning. 

No warning but looks like we about to bang pretty hard.  

Plenty of junk debris clouds around again.  

93 for the high around here but it took awhile to shake off the high clouds. Probably could have pulled a 95/96 with more sun. Anyways, day 2 officially although Friday was a brief touch at 90 with most of the heat of the day at 88-89.  Tomorrow will be nasty around here, I will be straight from my mother in laws pool to the AC.  99/72 with HI 106-110 during peak heating will be fun.

Was down at the RI shore today  as well, near Watch Hill and Misquamicut.  Beautiful day.  Mid 70's with a late P.M sea breeze and plenty of sun overall.  Nothing like body surfing and boogie boarding with the kids, although my wedding ring got knocked off riding a wave and was unable to find it.  Picked up a quick low budget ring and re-enacted a quick wedding with the kids which was good for some laughs.  Wish I had the whole week off but my vacation comes later next month.
