12z 3KM takes that surface low just a bit further west along the New England/NY border.
It appears the heaviest will be immediately NW of that feature?
Lot of spread in SNE though, especially eastern areas.
These 6z Mesos are a problem.
This is Irene levels of issues in the most susceptible tight narrow terrain/hills/mtns of central and eastern VT. Roads and towns follow water through narrow valleys and hollows.
6z HRRR pretty widespread 5-8”.
6z 3km NAM is like villages off the grid for a while. Can’t dump 5-10” into that terrain given how there’s already been hydro problems.
This is what I was envisioning and trying to convey yesterday I believe (though not as eloquently).
The warm season rainfall footprint is often significantly less widespread than models show, but the “jackpots” will see more water than models show.
I think that’s what you are getting at too. Like 3-4” won’t be that widespread but where it trains could double those amounts. The models are take like a “basin average” approach to QPF.
Yeah this map shows the road damage. We got hit pretty hard around Stowe too but the terrain up here opens up quite a bit more. Central VT has a lot more hilly terrain and narrow drainages. It’s tighter so to speak. Really multiplies that rainfall. Up north and into NEK, it feels more wide open than the hills in central/southern Vt.
You’ve said it before… high dew points in the mountains can lead to a lot of water with the daily tropical downpours. Today’s storms started firing by 11am.
I don’t know, I saw they got RT 4 open one lane only. I don’t even know if those shots are from RT 4 but the headline was about it and subsequent photos were those.
I usually think these end up like models show a widespread 3-6” and you get a narrow focused axis of like 6-8” with widespread 1-3”. Who knows though. Haven’t looked at it much, just how I generally view more convective QPF progs.
Regionwide rainfall looks to continue over the next two weeks. All models show positive northeast precip anomalies going forward.
Humid pattern and high PWATS seem to limit Stein. Not a dry pattern. Personally I always like a NYC to PWM/AUG line for maximum interaction of Atlantic moisture with inland forcing.
Yeah it’s a novel change of pace. I’ll give it that. It feels like summer. Give it a few weeks and I’ll be ready to move on.
I still want May back though. Torching dry RH, dying grass, no clouds for weeks, lol.
If you are shivering at 77F in the shade you’re too old already. That sounds like my late grandfather at 90 years old on his porch.
No idea how you survive the rest of the year if this is the most comfortable weather lol.
