Oh you mean you don't like Kevin's 3" of crusty pack fetish?

Will we have anything left after the cutter?  At least some Swiss cheese frozen solid to go with the black snowbanks please?

82/70… swamp.

Seeing a lot of 90/70 type stuff between ALB and BOS metro west… 

Not sure if this works, but there’s video of yesterday’s EF-1 tornado in Vermont on a local met’s social stories.  I’m sure it’s elsewhere but haven’t found it yet.

Edit: Here it is on Twitter.

84/64

Summer.

EF-1 Confirmed in Vermont yesterday.

Just emptied Stratus at 1.07” from yesterday.  Good drink.

It feels like summer.

I like the trajectory of what’s coming from AQW. Up to 0.55” here.

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.

Tough week last week. Lost one of our dogs… 8 year old spaniel greyhound mix. Fine Tuesday morning, sick Tuesday afternoon. Went to the vet, she diagnosed her with immune mediated thrombocytopenia and took blood work to see how bad it was, sent us home with meds, call us Thursday with results.

Dog couldn’t move once we got her home, wouldn’t eat or drink or take any meds. She passed away at about 10pm on Wednesday night. Happened so fast.

Dude.  So sorry.

We didn't think Burlington was going to be that big. Typical tourist mistake. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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.

Where is DIT ? Figured he'd be in his glory. 

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.

1.09". Much needed and overperformer

Couldn’t be happier for someone with rain lol.

5.7”/hr

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.

heh...  I don't think the heaviest rain's gotten to you yet lookin' at that thing.  Although there may be some shadowing ?  I don't know I think this whole ordeal is deeper in the troposphere and you'll get 1.5 hours of harder rain than just .08/hr, by a goodly margin from that look. 

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.

Dew is up to 76 at kcef thats impressive 

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.

It does look like it’s trying to bias W-N yeah 

Tues/Tues night are getting uniquely brutal looking in the NAM’s very recent numbers.  Like 91/75 prior to full mixing midday Tues … possibly to 93/68 … 78 out at Logan at 5 am for the low and likely 81 much of the night. 
 

 

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.

PF,  the bear picture you posted was crazy.  I stole it and posted it on my fb page saying that a friend took it in Stowe.  I have had a lot of comments.  I don't think I have ever seen a picture of a New England black bear this big.  Was it the biggest one you have ever seen?

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.
