Up to 2.03”

Wow,  quickly passed me   1.17"  As the axis of heaviest rain is passing east of us up here do you expect more echoes to develop in SE NY State and W Mass to come back NNE this afternoon or is our heavy rain mostly over?

RA++  Rain rate 5.33" per hour on Davis  passing through 1" stratus

Brian,  you must be in a pretty robust cell right now?

Just mostly light to moderate rain so far up here .20" looks to change soon

Out of sight, out of mind!

Canada continues to burn.  An amazing amount of smoke.  Midweek is the upper level winds going to drive all this down across the Northeast?  It is not going to be coming straight down from Quebec but still lots of bad air for the Northern US

How much water does a Stratus hold total? The thing looks over half full.

The tricky thing is when this is all over you have to very carefully pour the big cylinder into the small one multiple times without missing one drop!

I'm finally in the dry slot.   About 1.30".  Much more just NW of me.

Batch of heavy rain just came through.  Good luck to Vermont

1.15"

This is shaping up to be a disaster for Vermont.  I hope the general public there has an idea as to what is coming.  Florida declares a State of Emergency when there is a Cat 1 heading that way.  Would a SOE be warranted in Vermont to get the publics attention, or am I over reacting?  

Scary situation shaping up for Vermont.  Epic rainfall.  I hope I'm wrong but Vermont might be heading into a disaster.

PF's picture looks like the Bahama Blues.  Just a bit of forest fire smoke perhaps.

Here comes the +RA again. Let’s go for 6” in 6 days. 

Compared to me, you started out slow but have caught up.  Very bright to my north and rain is just a few miles south.  Enjoy your monsoon.  Time to cut my lawn.  0.00" past 24 hours

Light rain 61/59  About .75"

Miserable day but the plants love it.  Everything is super green.  I don't mind if the 70F dews stay south of me.  We had some major flash flooding in our area a few days ago so this gentle light rain is fine with me.

Thunderstorms gave me 2.27" yesterday evening.   .65" the day before.   This time I was not one of the have nots.

Another tropical downpour just came through.

2.27" Thunderstorms last evening    .65" The day before

1.54” and counting for you. Niiiice.

Actually I got to clean the Vantage Pro 2.   Stratus has 2.03".  Still moderate rain.  Nice storm.  

70/66 TS+. No wind to speak off. We had a 6.6" rainrate at one point so far ,80" storm is nw slowly winding down 

Out of nowhere these cells popped up this evening. Lots of lightning and thunder just to my south

81/68

I expected a lot more cloudiness and shower/storm activity up here today.  It has turned out to be a mostly sunny warm and humid day.

The smoke to the north has not made much progress south.  My skies are still very blue.  I have never seen so many fires to our north.  Quebec province is mostly clear but look how many fires are burning!  I have never seen this before. Of course out of sight-out of mine so people in the Northeast big cities don't realize how big of a deal this is.  I would assume most people think the fires are  put out.

.65" yesterday.  Meanwhile the wildfires are brutal in Quebec.  The smoke is just now crossing into extreme NNE.  Wonder how far south it makes it with the BD cold front?  If it does make it to me in CNE and we have some afternoon T storms it is going to be pretty dark.

Meanwhile glad we don't live in Quebec.  

EAB arrived here a few years ago.  Ash are dying like crazy.  My neighbor just cut 3 dead ones down.  We spent $600 last year to treat our 2 ash.  

Brian,  by the way the 3 chestnut seedlings we bought several years ago are doing great.  The biggest one is now about 7 feet tall.  Frost killed the first leave sprouts but they bounced back.

I've seen oak defoliation from Farmington to Phillips and also Rome/Belgrade.  Also saw some on our NJ/PA trip last month, mostly NNJ - no frost damage there. just spongey moth.

Oh that's right.  Gypsy moth's are no longer politically correct.

As of June 15th things are nice and green in my hood of Central NH.  We took a ride down R93 to the Mass line and boy have the oak trees taken a beating.  Around here they are starting to leaf back out after the May freeze but south of here towards Concord many are bare.  Gypsy Moths plus the freeze?  Maybe Brian would know since he travels that stretch.   

If it had been overcast it would have been near midnight dark.  This has happened a few times in history but this is definitely a once in a generation (at least) event.  The upper low over Quebec was in the perfect position to drive the smoke plume down the coast.  

This is a once in a life time event for the Northeast.  Perfect setup to bring smoke down from Quebec.  I have been watching the Empire State Building Cam.  Earlier it was hard to see over the East River.  Now I can not see even street level.  This is with clear skies.  If it had been overcast or thunderstorm activity I could see how those dark days of yesteryear could have happened.
