"Hello" is such a weird song. Singer treats partner badly, breaks their heart, and is now upset that person won't accept her calls and acts like she is the wounded party, mad at the other for moving on. Beautiful day here in BTV

Maybe the rain hates you:

I can't remember if the car had NH or VT plates. I'm pretty sure it was one of those two.

On the drive up I89 a couple of hours ago, I got passed by a car with the vanity plate "TRCHASR"

Of course it is better, now you won't have 5G cell for 7 days.

Well No 30+" snowfall this time, most likely.

Happy Battle of Bennington day to all our Vermonters!

79/63 partly sunny (by which I mean 85/68 hazy and breezy.)

Here is the BTV AFD discussing Thursday: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BTV&issuedby=BTV&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1 Thursday still looks to be active day with the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms. The main threats with these storms will be gusty winds and heavy rainfall which may lead to localized flash flooding. Plenty of instability will be available owing to the hot and humid conditions, and CAPE values are progged to be in the 1500- 2500 J/kg range. Meanwhile, marginal deep layer shear is expected with 0-6km bulk shear of 15-25 knots. The biggest limiting factors will be the absence of large-scale lift and/or strong low-level convergence. This means that convection will likely be initiated by terrain-induced lift such as lake breeze convergence or orographic ascent. However, once convection is initiated, storms should have no problem continuing to develop given the favorable environment, especially if there is an elevated mixed layer as indicated by GFS forecast soundings. Heavy rainfall is expected where thunderstorms develop with PWAT values of 1.75 to 2 inches. Meanwhile, warm clouds depths should well exceed 10,000ft and storms are expected to be slow moving. Therefore, localized flash flooding and ponding of water is possible. Otherwise, still expecting another day of oppressively hot and humid conditions on Thursday with heat index values in the mid 90s to low 100s during the afternoon.

Off topic: As I was driving to work today, my mind wandered to the history of the NE subforum banter thread. If I remember it correctly, didn't the banter thread get created as a place for weather related banter so as to avoid having it in either the monthly model thread or storm threads? We had the Monthly thread which would in theory have serious discussion and be based on models. When threats loomed, we would then have the threat thread and eventually an obs thread. The banter thread was for other weather discussion that did not fit into those formats- ex discussion of that day's temps, snow pack, etc. Is that correct or is my memory on this off?
