October 2005 style.

What was different between this and the 2-3 days of rain in CT only two weeks ago? It was a pretty humid, convective rain too, yesterday was a series of t-storms. Honestly seemed pretty similar. We had been one of the drier zones despite over the last 6 weeks, so it was needed rain. Despite a high number of days with measurable water. All I know is after a few months of no widespread big precipitation events, there have been two now in the past 3 weeks. One in SNE, one in NNE. Both multi-day events. That’s some pattern change indicators.

3.02” here.

Did you get golf in? Still misting and drizzle at times here. Ended up with 3.02” in two empties of the Stratus throughout the event. Has to be the largest precipitation event for here in a long time. This image was before today’s showers and not comparable to my total (taken after todays rain). Maybe another half inch with the FROPA later in the week… probably going to be the wettest week of the year, ha.

It can stop raining anytime. Up to nearly 3" since it started on Sunday.

Rainy weather but caught an attempt to develop a few kelvin helmholtz waves in a low level fog bank. I love when the atmosphere shows it's fluid tendencies.

That bolded is key. @tunafish nailed it with the "you can't arrest your way out of it." Some countries have capital punishment for drug offenses. That isn't where we want to go. It still doesn't solve the underlying issues of addiction.

I thought he was still here having a good time with his friends of 40 years? No one has updated us today on what he’s up to in life . Steady moderate rain continues, will clear 2.50” for this event past two days… and still some leftover showers tomorrow. Perfect long duration soaker mixed with some convective elements. Similar to the widespread event in SNE around Labor Day, but less extreme jackpot amounts. Can tell the seasons are changing with these higher synoptic rain events popping back up. Not all convection hit or miss. Larger precip shields.

Overall models did very well with a widespread 1.5”+ rain event in N/C VT with a good swath of 2”+ and locally up to 4”. And we should have some left over rain showers tomorrow too, but likely more in line with 0.1-0.3”. Three day rain event overall. Good soaking. I can’t remember the last time I saw the river “full”… not close to flooding at all but just full swift water from side to side.

Good catch, upgraded the Flood Warning to FFW? On Wunderground there are a lot of 3”+ amounts since midnight that doesn’t include anything yesterday.

There’s a swath right from Huntington through J.Spin through Waterbury (your area) over towards Cabot and south into Montpelier of widespread like 2.5-4.00” event totals. I was at 2.16” a little bit ago total. Missed the heaviest stuff today like 10 miles to the south. Can see the axis here:

Still could moderate for sure, but Ryan is just being a good MET and not going wild on a Day 5. Mid-60s in the valleys gets the point across after today. Highs will be lower than todays dew points in CT.

Be a stretch for you to hit 66F at your house on Friday given how it looks right now. I’d think low 60s at best, 40s at night. It could be enough for some to see the heat come on.

He knows exactly what/where Ryan’s forecast is aimed at, ha.

Emptied 1.62” out of the stratus this afternoon, and there’s another 0.55” so far. Storm total from yesterday and today of 2.17” so far.

Conceptually, warmer more humid air would bring more rainfall. Anything to back up that it’s been more Stein?

Yeah I love winter but that first 70F sunny, dry day in Spring is like euphoric.

It’s possible to like something and also like change… but it’s funny as a forum we have like “team” mentality about preferences lol.

BTV AFD feels it. They know their audience up here more than anything else, ha. “The aforementioned showers could easily continue into the evening and overnight hours which could pose an interesting forecast challenge. Snow. Yes, you read that correctly. Given 850 mb temperatures could be in the -4 to -6 range with mountain showers, we still believe there is a chance for some light snow above 3000 ft. Don`t break out the skis or snowboards just yet as it`s unlikely we see any accumulation at the higher peaks given the warm ground temperatures. It`s more a sign of the seasons changing than anything else. &&”

60F and rain. 0.40” so far today.

Yeah no argument on the drama aspect. The trade off to a daily game for 6 months vs. once a week for 4 months is the added drama and physicality of the sport. Football is a very fun for betting and it’s ability as a fantasy sport is unmatched. I enjoy sports a lot, weather and sports. Baseball and football is basically like persistent daily -SN vs. one sustained, congealed period of accumulating snow. They both have their place. 62/62 dripping, misty fog hanging in the backyard. Humid but cool.

Oh absolutely. Not feasible.

Every single night. For hours. All you can eat buffet, always games on of most teams, can flip between games, it’s like Sunday football but all the time. Football would be sick if you didn’t have to wait a week to get it again.

Wish they played more than once a week. 0.92” so far today.

Nice meso-low swirl on radar just went south of Montreal and is now entering N.VT by Jay Peak. Harder to see on this regional radar but the path of that swirl looked to drop a lot of water. Torrential rain in it.
