Narrow band but someone is going to get some sustained rain-rates in the larger Concord area as it curls ENE? Given the moisture levels/dew/lift... no trouble precipitating today out of this sky.

BTV doing well too, ~1.00” now at the airport. ~0.75” here. It’s been raining since 11:30am for the most part. Synoptic rain style, despite one close strike and thunder. Sounded very weird, wondered if there was an inversion in the valley to impact the sound. It echoed.

Dude. So sorry.

Sucks, wished we had known you were looking to avoid people, ha. BTV is definitely a small city. Traffic, parking, bustle. Just on a lower scale. Some great views of the lake, Adirondacks, etc. University of VT, Champlain College, Saint Mikes in the area. Lots of college students even in the summer when classes aren’t in session. I’m with you, I’d rather chill in the woods on vacation than in a more urban area.

I fear Dendrite and I pushed him too far the other day asking him to live on planet earth briefly when having a discussion about science. It certainly wasn’t the intent to drive him off. Of course it happens literally the day before he gets the weather he’s been looking for since April.

Couldn’t be happier for someone with rain lol.

It’s been raining here since 11am and you just got more in 10 minutes . Glad you soaked. Eyeballing the Stratus from the house it looks like somewhere near 0.50” give or take some hundredths.

This is where RH and not temperature comes into the C.O.C. discussion. Been rotting around 70F all day in rain and despite the lower temps, it’s near 100% RH and nasty out. Much grosser outside today than a 85/48 type afternoon.

Agreed.... probably get like 0.40" water in like 5 hours of -RN and then get 0.50" in like 20 minutes of convective moisture evac from the atmosphere, behind this slug of warm frontal precip.

I see they even hit 77F briefly. That's got some oof to it.

Just a gentle soaking rain so far. Running like 0.08/HR type -RN rates. Rare synoptic mid-July rainfall.

Light rain, 73/68. Humid.

There's a solid moisture plume punching well into New England in the lower levels. Dews are going to go up, along with PWATs It can turn tropical in a hurry as the fluidity of the atmosphere comes and goes like the tide.

Some synoptic rain coming up this way, with mixed convection. The chance is there for a widespread 0.50" soaking on the 00z 3km NAM across the NW half of NE.

70/63. It’s warm and humid. Probably A/C time tonight. Max of 88F today at MVL. That’s a solid heater. Dews were in the 50s so it felt ok until this evening when the attempt to radiate has propped dews up.

Biggest I’ve ever seen easily. 3-4 feet tall when on all fours and it’s stomach pretty much went to the ground. Paws were massive mits. I read the black bear in Eastern US can get up to 500-600lbs? Seemed like a lot but this guy was at least four bills. Sort of crazy though to have some 400+ pound wild animal wandering in your backyard. This one was on another level… no adolescent mischief. I was going in his direction and he wanted to pass me, so he just sat down while trying to figure out what to do, ha. Walked away along the field edge, but passing by. Felt like a zoo animal was loose in the backyard.

Beer?

85/57. She’s a hot one today.

Yeah it’s getting a bit dewy. Had a low of 55F and now the dews up to 61F. The moisture is coming. Interesting synoptic system tomorrow evening.

Was just thinking of your “rains every day” comments… big outdoor concert at Spruce Peak, whole thing set up for 600-800 people, linens on tables, chairs, etc. And the sky just unloaded water out of no where. Now they are scrambling to change out everything, just soaked after +RN.

Another day with many sites in C/NNE seeing RH under 35-40%. 84/53 up here for 34% but winner looks like Newport, VT with 82/47 for 29%. MHT 85/53 for 33%. In SNE, there’s LWM at 87/55 for 33% RH, BED at 86/56 at 35%, FIT at 83/51 at 33%. Might be a bit before we get back to these levels, but the past 2-3 days have been nice. Can see the dews starting to move in from the south, CT and SE MA looked more humid today than elsewhere.

81/54 What a Saturday.

Had a low of 50F, comfortable sleeping weather looks like it’s on its way out. Windows cool the place down to the low/mid 60s but looking like we’ll have to artificially cool it off soon. Already 70/55.

A little excitement this evening right before the sun went down. This absolute unit of a bear strolled through the backyard. We see bears but this might've been the biggest yet. It was close enough, and chill enough, to be able to get the real camera. Could've rode this guy like a horse.

Appreciate the research and info using data. Puts some of the hyperbole in context. Still sucks if it’s torching your lawn but it seems to happen quite frequently during hit or miss precip patterns in the warm season.
