Smoke these

Long time, no talk. Been busy. One word: pollen

Subsidence and Meh day time heating I think. Also not a lot of humidity

Looks awfully tame

66f in Weatogue. Bright sunshine. Breezy.

Definitely a mainly south of pike event on 17z hrrr. Clearing working it's way here.

61f on the car thermo. Cloudiness trying to break, humidity has increased, can feel.

Yeah, your elevation helping probably.

57f 12 minutes later. Love having an online station now. Will be at the in laws in Windsor for the rest of the day, but can still track temps here. Father-in-law just had hip replacement. Super active guy, so he's taken it really well. Going to hang out and watch the Final Four.

54f now. Looks like we break out 1:45-2:00pm.

Temp shot up to 52f here from 41f. Clouds starting to break.

Now that's impressive. We hope for some spillover.

Clearing appears to be ahead of modeling.

If this moved up about four hours, would have been a hell of an event.

Windsor, in general, also portions of Granby to Enfield, would appear to be great for that. You could run north south from Farmington up 10, then follow 202 through Simsbury, Avon all the way to Massachusetts. Gives you a very efficient way north and south.

It does appear there is a trend on 13z and 14z to clear a bit quicker. Maybe we can develop a bit more instability, make this better orh on west.

Like 1-3pm out far west for clearing. 3pm-5pm middle of the state.

You know it. Majority of setups aren't worth it. This is definitely not one I'm moving for lol.

13z HRRR is similar to previous runs. It likes western CT, particularly south of 84 to 91/New Haven. Further north it's strong but it's not highlighting that area as much. Storms are largely decaying as they cross CT, marching East. In terms of severe at least.

F winter here. That's a hard grade to earn from me, and this winter got it. This winter had a very difficult, an exhausting character. There were many threats, and many opportunities to cash in, and it never happened. Some portions of elevated Southern New England cashed in nicely. Unfortunately, that's where the least amount of our population lives. Also, some of the mix events were not 50F cutters; but events that were off by just 1F-2F, teasing us with white rain for hours and hours. At the end of the day, these winters are going to happen. This one was just far worse than most below average seasons. The way I look at it, you have to be mentally prepared to strike out. It's a pretty simple part of this game, that many winters will not be all that good. Just remember you are getting a ratter out of the way, and next winter will be better.

Hrrr doesn't look that impressive outside of far western portions of MA and CT. But it should be a widespread strong line of storms. Maybe a few warnings mixed in. Outside chance of a spin up far west.

Almost Cape season

6z was tame compared to 0z. But the 12z went a bit stronger again. Timing seems like we clear later now 3/4pm. That's not as good for severe, but it should be watched because of the steep lapse rates. That should help feed any activity.

It was around 1pm on the 0z hrrr. I'm about to look at this morning's.

I do enjoy this weather. It's not boring. Marks the start of a new season. Spring will be great here compared to EMA.
