    It always is this time of year. This map posted by Stein shows how NNE and SE SNE missed out the multi-day 2-6” event through the heart of SNE/CNE a few days ago. This summer just wants to rain. Big total events keep rolling through the region.

    Click on “Next Day.” Its confusing. Can’t click on “Day 2” actually. Look at the forecast times. Click Next Day and Day 2 and you get it.

    You need to go to Day 2. Tomorrow is the High Risk day.

    Saw the 18z Euro continued to prolong the heavy rain threat. Tomorrow afternoon and night hold the risk up here after today’s table setting rainfall. We’ll see but tomorrow and tomorrow night always looked like the flood time up here. 6pm Tomorrow… Then still having convective water around at 6am Tuesday.

    Several models highlighted that area too. Monadnock region too.

    Hopefully. Will be plenty of rain regardless. Being cut off from civilization from washouts isn’t a lot of fun.

    I don’t think that was the primary driver at all except locally here. There’s a front that’s relatively stationary down there. Up here it was just the very tip of the system and it was pretty evident it was packing water into the east slope from SE to NW movement. The real show up here is when that stuff down south moves through tomorrow. The damage up here should be tomorrow. Up to 0.90” at home and the river flow has doubled this evening, so it’s all run off.

    SE flow ahead of the system hammering the east side of Mount Mansfield up here. Already 1.25”+ at base of the ski area compared to an inch less on western slope.
  9. powderfreak
    And we are on the board. 0.50” in under 15 minutes to start it off.

    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.
  11. powderfreak
    12z HRRR would. 8” at MVL… A foot at Mansfield with the whole east slope all draining within 300 feet of my place. Flexseal won’t stop that.

    Yeah we’ve been fairly dry but it’s often more frequent rains at lighter amounts. Same amount as the 1-2” at Taunton, which is apparently full Stein.

    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.

    Someone gets smoked. Catskills, Berkshires, Greens.

    Looks like you'll be mowing at 6:30 tomorrow morning Sunrise in Greenfield is 5:21am… why wait until 6:30?

    73/70 Humid, there are some massive insects in the floodlight this evening outside. Have to be thriving in this tropical environment.

    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.

    3k NAM bringing a good bit of water into parts of SNE. It’s not just PA to VT. Reggie is a pretty widespread soaker.
  19. powderfreak
    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.

    That’s a noteworthy mudslide. Realizing 4” of water in one hour will lead to this in mountain topography.
  21. powderfreak
    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.
  22. powderfreak
    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.
  23. powderfreak
    That 3-4” in one hour on radar estimates near Killington with legit mudslides really f*cked up RT 4 it sounds like.
  24. powderfreak
    Can you post them?

    Damage near Killington, VT.
