Dangerously. Unprecedented.

This. We can blame hype but the amount of video easily available now is something never seen before. It’s the same with any outrageous behavior captured on film. There have always been Karens… since the dawn of time… but now you see video of every single person doing something obnoxious or dumb. Dumb people making bad decisions have always existed, too. You just never saw it. I don’t think people understand the gravity and how our perception has changed on certain things since every human holds an HD camera in their pocket.

Add politics to that, probably more so than sports and weather. People do like to be entertained though.

You got 3 weeks of rain in a day. How much do you all want to “make a dent”? Honest question.

All of you are ridiculous who cancelled the rain yesterday evening out fear of disappointment or whatever. This forum is entertaining though. Widespread 1.5-4” with locally higher over three states.

But only in summer, not in winter.

Another sunny day and 81F. Hasn’t rained in days. Feels like a different planet from SNE.

Yeah, sounds like it. That’s the classic upslope rains… just soaking sheet small droplets and seem to add up faster than it should. Radar over you has been steady but also hasn’t looked like 1”+. That’s why I was surprised.

Congrats on nearly 3”… everyone wins.

Huh, look at that. Some knew, some didn’t.

DIT is over an inch since midnight?!

Wait for it to blossom like the U.S. team. Tied. Edit: Shit, 30 seconds later Belgium punched back.

Ok yeah I was thinking another half inch possible, but models are all over the place. It does look like that stuff in SW CT tries to lift through tonight but in a diminished capacity.

So you won’t record any more rain… what’s your final total then?

How much you have so far? Before the stuff tomorrow morning.

83F and sunny up here. Summer.

6am tomorrow… long way to go.

Who is this DIT?!

82/48 today, with a breeze. Perfect summer weather. AC not needed on these days.

It’s like one big thunderstorm. Lightning across three states.

South coast smoked on NAM and HRRR.

That’s a very honest answer, ha. I feel that. These events are always going to have surprises when convection is involved. My one pause is always the consistent bullseye for days… nothing is ever that consistent this time of year. There’s always the haves and have nots… one town gets 0.92” in three rounds of 0.30” rain. While another town does 3.28” not far away.

How far would you toss the extended HRRR if this were winter?

Good wind crossing the Sound. This is close to the radar site, so the radar sample is low elevation. That wind is likely legit for those in its path.

Someone is getting destroyed by flash flooding. It won’t be that widespread, but that signal means damage.
