heh…found the old WBAN manual of observations from 1955.

Not sure you can do 6hrs successfully with wind like that anyway. But I assume most of those obs were COOP. People measured like weenies back then too. What’s that 27” in NE CT? Sticks out like a sore thumb.
I hope the euro is right Monday…would love a deep soaker. I’d sacrifice a Monday for that. Euro is 2-3” up here while the GFS is mid 70s Mon-Tue. GEFS tickled south too.
The line looks mostly boring up here, but there is that little wind max that traces back to E NY that is poised to pass just N of here. I’m enjoying the rain at least.
