None of the behind the meter solar is included in those stats and there is an insane amount of it. ISO New England produces some great articles on the electricity market and solar. Read up on how many duck curve days New England has been getting from behind the meter solar. This year is forecasted for another record year. I dont think people realize how much demand is lowered from behind the meter solar on sunny days. This is an insane reduction on electricity demand we would otherwise get from burning natural gas. Milestone Nuclear where CT gets most of its electricity from is only 1900 mw for comparison. https://www.iso-ne.com/about/where-we-are-going/solar-power-impact

Yeah. Its been an exceptionally dewy August and summer here on the shoreline in CT.

Yeah. Its been perfect cool season grass weather with rain practically every other day here. My lawn and all my plants have been just thriving. Mowing every 3 days at 3 inches and my grass has been literally growing an inch a day. Last fertilizer I put down was some purely organics just after july 4th. Also have hundreds of different species of mushrooms popping every other day.

Shes going to leave you once she finds out you uninstalled...

Man.. going to be a ton of dirty hippys in the Pioneer Valley this week with river levels low. Haha. My hippy aunt in Ashfield said the same thing about river levels.

Sounds like Connecticut Shade Tobacco? I have enjoyed many cigars wrapped in it.

Been a really special summer here...

Ryan explains it here. Looks like he updated it as well with another nearby weather station recording a 97 mph gust. "A nearby personal weather station recorded a gust to 97 mph in Morgan Point (East Haven)" https://ryanhanrahan.substack.com/p/incredible-103-mph-wind-gust

Very localized. Only damage seems to be Lighthouse point and the area that says woodmont on your radar screenshot.

Looks like the carousel building took a direct hit. https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/new-haven/lighthouse-point-park-in-new-haven-closed-due-to-storm-damage/

Lots of damage in the Milford/Orange area. 5k power outages all in one small area.

Upton has storms rolling in again later tonight. KEY MESSAGES... 1) Two rounds of showers and thunderstorms with marginal severe thunderstorm possibility through early Wednesday morning. CAMs indicate two sets of convection that move across the region. One generates late this afternoon with the low level instability and cold frontal forcing, moving from NW to SE across mostly the western half of the region. The second one has more uncertainty and occurs late tonight. Some CAMs have a convective complex moving across the area, mainly across western sections while others having it more to the south of the region.
