65*, all the windows are open, a nice 10-15mph breeze. Hoodies on. Awesome morning to get some yard work done. Fall is here.

Doubly ply for the right reason.

Need baby wipes.

Surprised no one has started wishcasting/discussing a Floyd-like track. 

Bay Rd and the north side of the Holyoke Range has been slowly changing the past 2-3 weeks. Same for all around the Quabbin.

Look at the gfs and legacy

12z at hour 312? lol -  Looks fun!

Temps in the mid-70s, DPs in the mid-50s, a nice breeze. This is coastal Maine summer weather. 

Always hear folks doing with snow,  why not play the "Best bands set up ~50 NW of modeling"-card for downpours? lol

Got a firewood moisture meter yesterday and got my winter stoke going. Have about 3.5 cords <20% moisture for our new Jotul F600. However much of the red oak is still high teens and I would like to see it 15% or lower. Have another 1.5-2 cords of red oak seasoning for next winter that is already 20-22%. Pretty amazing it is all from gypsy moth damage and I only started collecting last fall. Still a ton more to take down around the yard and town. 

We downpour, wet August.

This is insane from a lightning storm... holy shit at 150 people injured via lightning.  Sounds like it hit a metal cross at the top of the peak and traveled down the handrails and chains hikers use to pull themselves up the mountain.

 

Absolutely nuts. Made me think about the stairs at K.

This is the 16z HRRR for BDL at 0z...obviously indications are there that we destabilize quite a bit later on. FWIW...it does have that convection moving through now as it lowers CAPE then quickly rebuilds it...LLJ strengthens too

Same thing as previous deals. Everyone gets worried about the morning rain, too many clouds, then a round goes through mid-day/early afternoon, sun comes out and sets things up for the 5-8pm window. 

Clouds in lower hippy valley are clearing out.

Have a 60' Oak uprooted and leaning on another now.

You’ve been ground zero this summer with several legit severe storms . Main show is you east /NE today 

Hopefully not much worse. Thing came in with wind like I've never seen before and I have tree branches and limbs to clean up. Tossed a 200+lbs grill over. Three straight afternoons/nights of thunderstorms.

Any rotation Sw of Springfield?

If anything near Ludlow to the west.

Look out east of Springfield. That thing is all alone. Has supercell look to it.

Winds are wild. We never get big gusts here but it has them even on the northern edge of it.

Getting wrecked in Belchertown. More like a tropical storm. Big winds and booms - grill got blown over, several big branches/limbs down.

Thunder has started in Belchertown.

85* with a DP of 75. Doesn't matter since the 10-15mph wind really takes the edge off. Anecdotally, when we have had DPs this high with a stiff SW wind we have gotten some amazing thunderstorms.

Watch out belchertown ma

Yup. It's going to get wild. We spin?

Dozens of flashes strikes per minute. Allied bombing raid? 

Best light show in years.

Wow, surprised at that. Almost at 4" about 20 miles to your SSE.
