0.60” here. Another round incoming

Looks like my hood picked up 0.4-0.5”. At least that helps

Pound town here.

Impressive storm clouds in Gardner over near the college. My kids are telling me it is storming well at home

I've warned my kids (and wife) about those and some other very toxic caterpillars. I don't recall them from when I was growing up

1045 AM Update... Forecast generally on track. Have made some slight adjustments to timing showers/thunderstorms. Have leaned toward the latest ARW as it has initialized the upper cutoff/low over the eastern Great Lakes and the surface low associated with it well. Overall still the same messaging for today with strong to severe thunderstorms likely. Current thinking is that the risk is greatest the further SW you get, but we will need to closely watch the south coast as this is an area where there is roughly 30-40 kts of bulk shear. Does appear there is a bit of a boundary with the 60+ degree dew points and 500-1500 J/kg of CAPE along the with a S LLJ moving in. There are lesser values of CAPE further north and the shear is a bit more marginal, so this could be a limiting factor for western MA into eastern MA. Nonetheless will still need to monitor things closely. The low level lapse rates are still looking quite similar with nearly adiabatic lapse rates, approaching 8-9 degrees Celsius per km. Mid level lapse rates become a bit better especially as we head into the evening with the cold pool moving in overhead, -15 to -20 degrees Celsius at 500 hPa. Should see the mid level lapse rates increasing around 6-7 degrees Celsius by late. Think that the latest HRRR SCRAM and SREF Craven Brooks Sig Svr greater than 10k highlights the highest risk area well. There is a bit of backing across the CT River Valley and 0-1 SRH greater than 100 m2/s2 this afternoon, so while low we cannot completely rule out a tornado. Have also added a hail mention in the latest update as there is a few hundred J/kg of CAPE within the hail growth region.

Those are awful

No rain here this evening so far. We had a some this morning. That storm Tip mentioned is further east.

Some people use it to work off after work stress, as a way to wind down the day. I prefer morning but used to do evening for a bit

Same I need to hit the road for work at 6:30ish, so it is the only time I can really get it in I hate that time though... 5:30 would be so much more palatable

I was up at 4:20AM (lol) to ride in place for 8 miles... steamy for sure AC ftw

I was told it was gone...

A few hours of moderate dews here. No big deal.

Regarding oak damage, I have not noticed that or seen any spongies. I will check to see if they have arrived. Nice day ahead finally

About to get soaked again here.

Did you have their BBQ? That can be hit or miss. When it is good it is very good

We did manage to tickle 70 here 70.3F high. Rain

64 so far for my high with a little rain incoming

It’s coming. But it is taking its time.

I will tip my cap to CT Blizz if that verifies here. Maybe 60s won’t happen.

Not very summery for the next week. 60s and 70s with some rain chances each day. This weekend will be decent

There is a craft fair on the soccer fields in Hubbardston today (on Rte 68)

Wheel of ‘rhea continues for a while

Only a little over 12” in 2023 here

A drive to the summit of Wachusett. The Quabbin (short walk to old Dana common). Hardwick Winery. Doane’s Falls in Royalston. Plain View Farm Alpacas if you like that kind of stuff here in Hubbardston. What type of things do you like to do?
