    Has eastern MA ever been a place where there have been a lot of thunderstorm?  Marine influence tends to modify most stuff that moves in from the West and Northwest directions.  I agree things have been drier but it doesn't seem like we are getting less thunderstorms than in the past, I feel like that's always been an interior New England thing, though I'm in E RI and not in E MA...

    We’ve had some heavy rain events, but we seem to be lacking in storms recently. Lots of WAR type summers keeping the shortwaves to our northwest. Though his town had a heck of a storm about a year ago lol.

    hmmm...not sure what he is referring to with steep lapse rates. Mid-level lapse rates are garbage so I am assuming he means low-level lapse rates...but not sure how steep those are tomorrow regionally due to lots of cloud cover. Probably a better chance llvl lapse rates are steeper across southeast PA into NJ but not sure if they will be anything to write home about. 

    Not sure I see much risk for an isolated tornado there...if any risk existed it would be in central New England, closer to the warm front. Winds down there veer more in the llvls as the warm front lifts farther northeast. 

    It's late June, you'll always have steep low level lapse rates lol.

    Thursday could be interesting if we can bump dew points up a bit. Cold temps aloft, decent lapse rates, and strong mid level flow. Worth watching. 

    Yeah was looking at that. Seems like it could have potential.

    I think it's the past two years. Before then I remember some decent ones. I haven't seen thunderstorm all year.

    I've had two damaging events in my hood since 2020, but I mean overall for SNE. We just haven't had those good widespread events. Just a few here and there that are impactful.

    Yup...looks like best will be southwest (of course). Might have to watch central/northern New England though around the warm front. SPC hints at it too...but could be potential for a TOR or two if there is enough destabilizing there

    I can't believe how lame storms have been over the last several years. Unreal.

    General observation while in SW connecticut this weekend.   Son had a lacrosse tournament in Darien/New Canaan area.  Barring the extreme wealth and nearly every home probably having a well, overall its just much greener than Eastern mass.  We never get thunderstorms anymore.  Tuesdays threat looks like it stops in Worcester as does most threats.  Every summer we start off strong in the spring and then it turns into a dust bowl in EMA.   Lawns are complete toast here already. 

    My lawn is good so far. Haven’t watered much. You guys missed out on some rogue stuff this month too.

    Some friends of ours in town use some service. It is guaranteed.  If you see a mosquito (or tick) they come back the next day and spray again. 
     

    Im not a huge fan of spraying because it harms other insects.  But it is tempting. 

    Screen porch ftw as well. 

    That stuff I think is natural. It’s garlic oil and some other stuff.

     

    But yeah mosquitoes suck

    Some of our neighbors treat for mosquitoes.  Hubbardston is a giant swampy forest. So unless you drop a ton of DDT, the mosquitoes would laugh. 
     

    Foggers work a bit for a few hours.  We didn’t plan on doing the fire tonight so I didn’t have any on hand. 


    My cousin lives in Bridgewater by the Taunton river. The mosquitoes there will gnaw your arm off and fly it back to their nest. They used this treatment that was comprised of garlic oil and said it really worked. Was done by some company. So I think there’s options for you.

    I am also thinking that maybe we started the solo a bit too early.  The stupid pricks calm down a bit as it gets darker 

    What about yard foggers? Or maybe treatments for the property? Maybe not cheap but allows you to enjoy the outdoors.
