Yea. The summer WAR being more prevalent certainly indicates these type of lower temp higher dew patterns will be more common as we age into retirement.

Tolland will be the new Florida.

I have the same problem, what are you using to waterproof the chimney? I've looked at a few products and not sure which one Ill try.

The chimney hasn't been fixed yet but I spoke with my father-in-law and he recommended us putting flashing around the chimney. I would assume there's already flashing there but perhaps needs to be repaired we haven't gotten up there to take a look yet.

We've had some pretty good storm damage and flooding here this summer, this storm underperforming a bit here was ok with me.  We had about 2.5 inches of rain and probably a couple gusts near 45. The severe storm a couple of weeks ago here was probably closer to 65 mph and near 70 a bit south of here.  All this water has exposed some home issues we are getting fixed,  we've got some water coming down around the chimney and also getting water in the basement from the foundation and from a window that needs replacement.   I've also got a weaker tree that was damaged from the last storm,  so yeah I'm cool with today.

All the Tolland stations on WU are all missing data during that period. They must have had an outage. I distinctly recall texting Ryan that we were over 8” that month after the MDW disaster 

If that's the case I could be at 33" and you're 35". Those are  numbers I'm used to chucking around in the winter snowfall total thread , but liquid in the summer.  Just unreal.

What did you have in May. I know we had 8” here but I am missing data from May 9-20.. so it’s showing 5”

Interestingly enough, I checked the data from the nearby PWS and it's also missing May 9th to 18th.  Basically shows the exact same data for all those days.  5.42 is the total for the month.

So Joey and I just added up the last 4 months in town here 

5.52” for May, 5.89” for August, 15.83” for July, 5.69 June . Added up 32.93” since May 1

You've got me beat here after today.   30.75 at a nearby PWS here in Enfield, just sick amounts of rain.  Between the summer flooding and the severe storm last week it's been a pretty memorable season already, throw in a stalled cane that gets too close and we may be in deep sheet. 

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.
