I think I’m summer it’s real easy to get different perceptions because wet usually comes with some dews that’s elevate minimums… while folks see clouds and rain and “cooler” temps in the daytime. It would be interesting to see maximum and minimum departures. And like you said, June we usually rush summer temperatures a bit too fast, when normals aren’t there yet. So expecting 85+ every day makes it feel cool if it’s like 75F… but that may actually be normal.

Just parades of water back to the Ohio Valley.

Up to 0.73” when I emptied the Stratus. Driving through town seeing the families out looking for breakfast all decked out in rain gear and shorts with umbrellas… holiday weekend vibe with shit weather .

Just shy of 0.50” very quick this morning, with possibly a little more to come. Very efficient rainers for feeding the mushrooms.

Might actually get some drier weather in here than it looked earlier. Euro flipped from very wet for multiple days to much better outdoor weather up north between the 6z and 18z runs. Favorable shift south.

Nothing like that crisp clean haze limiting the sky and visibility to 5 miles.

Looping the GFS and GEFS it is amazing how persistent the lower heights are around us and NW of here. It gets some brief SW flow at times but its wet and active. Looks like it would be a great winter pattern. Now we just get humid, clouds and occasional rain.

Not nearly as smoky as the 1-2 mile visibility stuff but pretty widespread 3-6 mile vis haze.

Damn. That’s a party. We’ll played.

Can see the haze is back... no where near as bad as it was last weekend though. Only 150 AQI instead of 250+.

Going to be wet.

Lol looks like a nice lawn. Anything but a tropical jungle is Stein? Cutting it short will always leave it vulnerable.

Don't look now but we've hit 80 degrees with partly sunny skies. There it is after a week of clouds and rain.

"Wet in some spots"... the aerial coverage of wetter than average out-paces the drier than normal across the region by a decent amount. Mother Nature drenched a lot of acres this month.

We put the dog in one of the bathrooms that’s center-most inside, with blankets and music. She still hates it but it’s a lot better than anywhere else. She doesn’t shake nearly as much. The town fireworks are essentially in our backyard. It’s 20 minutes of WWIII for animals. When she was 1 year old, she was outside by accident when they started and she fled in panic. I went to the first place I could think of that she goes when in doubt, and found her covering her body in water in the middle of the river; like you see animals go in a forest fire.

The fireworks at the ski area on the 3rd and town on the 4th are both legit displays. The Moscow village parade in Stowe and then the Stowe Village parade both good times. It’ll be a busy and packed town but the vibe is often awesome.

Honestly we are sort of at the point where Stein is just any below precip at all. It started as like legit drought and now if you are like a 20-minute thunderstorm below average in a month you are Stein/drought.

Been awesome today. Humid misty 60s.

What a summer so far. Low ceilings, dense fog and NW flow misery mist all day. MVL with 3-4 hours of -RN obs totaling under a tenth of an inch in classic misery mist style. High of 67F so far today in the valley… but thank god the dew is above 60F… Sure beats the Chamber Top 10’ers.

Looks like we finish today around ~.70” in the stratus. Will empty in morning for exact amount. Saw standing water this afternoon on a few Stowe Country Club greens while driving by. Another crappy day for outdoor recreation if you needed more than an hour or two dry at a time.

What did you have during that time to compare with? Those radar estimates can go both ways IMO, hit or miss. More hit than miss though.

Glad you got some too, figured it was starting to get dry without any rain in the past 12 hours or so.

Look like another line coming for you. Some big numbers again in E.VT and into NH.

Only one brief rainer today but a quick 0.40" in the Stratus. We'll see what later brings. Just every day. Clouds, mountains obscured, some downpours.

Yeah good call. Hat tip there. Haven’t seen the sun in days. Just another version of an ULL.
