If anything storms like this should be a good exercise of having a storm kit ready to go be it tropical or winter....IE, Generator running, Fuel, Battery, Portable radio, Food, documents. Living down here gives a new meaning to preparedness; when you have the potential monster like Dorian 70 miles to your East there isn’t a lot of time to prepare.

i think most in New England are lax on our Tropical potential seeing we have been lulled by the last 30 years but at some point that will end. 
 

Just as a comparison it’s 90 here in S FL with a dp of 73 with a nice breeze. We have been averaging 94-96 the past few days with afternoon storms

Really should watch south of Long Island the next few hours. Some definite thinning/breaks of clouds occurring. Also noting some decent convection to pop up to the south and east of the circulation. I think it's becoming apparent the slug of heaviest rain moves off to the west...however, we may be seeing increasing potential for t'storms/TOR potential

If anything it will be low topped variety’s as precip comes in from the coast

Let’s spin and let’s knock some the FOC down 

If I remember correctly TS Irene caused considerable tree damage in Eastern CT; I had no power for 4 days

And stats from TS Irene which I believe has a similar track

I wouldn't  want to be on the coast for it but for here I would say bring it!

Nope, I worked Michael in the FL Pan Handle two years ago and it was like a 150 wide tornado; New England with a 2 would be very bad considering the tree growth since Bob

Not good for those central and eastern areas who got dumped on a few weeks ago.

NAM’s got a couple ToRnadic looking supercells sweeping right up across CT Fri night 

Low topped spinners all you/may see

With recent wet trend in a good part of SNE, do we have the making here of summer flooding event? I know recent storms have not been wide spread but areas like the Rt 146 corridor south or ORH and Norwood were hard hit Recently.

Thanks. Thinking beyond 98L, the basin is warm. Even up this way. With the upper level pattern it’s only going to get warmer. The intraseasonal environment has been such that even the most marginal crap has been able to develop in odd places this early in the season. When the wave train really gets going it could be trouble for someone. 

Not here () but you look at the overall environment and it’s as intriguing as it gets. 

I agree, thinking New England’s 30 year Hurricane drought might come to an end this year.  

Not all of New England saturated over the last few weeks, but ground wet enough that this doesn’t help and may cause Sultan Signal to be hoisted.

Still pounding. Probably will go over an inch . Dews FTW

Storms where the dews are. Guess we won’t be hearing about droughts again this year

Maybe 55 all over?

What’s the odds we see Faye towards the end of the week?

Is this the year New England’s Hurricane drought ends?

Yeah.  Looking to get out of the city life.  Not sure where we'll land.  I'm guessing Southborough or Westborough (my wife's from there).  I'm hoping we might wind up in Princeton, but I don't think that's especially likely.

Great interest rates in any case.

 

Not sure where you work but Woodstock and Pomfret in CT are nice

Hopefully no Tropical activity starts up in the next month or so or you might be looking at hoisting that signal! 1955 redux?

I went to south beach and the Miami area for a few days before we departed on a cruise. Place was a dump. Outrageously hot and smelly. Food was horrible, beach was meh. Pretty underwhelming 

I am just North of Palm Beach County and anything south of Jupiter is garbage; Vero Beach to Jupiter is really nice part of S Fl

Norwood Hospital 4ft of water in the basement into ICU

Hail in NW RI looks crazy

58 dbz in NWRI

Can you see totals from Uxbridge area?

Any totals from the Northbridge/Uxbridge area?

FD at one house with FT of water in the basement

Very dark just north of me. Looks like a near miss.

Looks like it it’s dropping right down to you, however not moving too quickly

Can someone explain the way these storms are moving?  They aren’t really “Moving”; they are seemingly Attaching themselves to little bubbles and Blowing up, even blowing up to the West, FASTER than they can move East!

It’s so So Stange!  

And there is Ocean Effect it seems on radar??  Looks like winter!
