I think we might be able to get some this afternoon. Unless it's self destructing breaks that destabilize, ha. I sort of am hoping some low cloud cover stays around for tonight's fireworks... they can be pretty damn cool reflecting off low cloud bases at like 2500ft.

@OceanStWxwould be enjoying this in the cold season.

They stick out over the ocean. It's a QPF heavy spot when the pattern is there. Especially any upper level divergence along with S/SE/E flow off the Atlantic. If you go from Maine coast to NJ coast, you can see the zone that sticks out into the water. That's climo. The NNE ski town saying is "You come for the winters, but stay for the summers." The summers are great with long stretches of dry, chamber of commerce puffy white clouds. Summer is what really gets people stoked up here to be honest, tourism is even higher than winter. You definitely don't feel screwed by any means if it's not flash flooding , you want to be outside hiking, biking, swimming, wandering around in nature. Not stuck inside while it rains. No one complains up north when it's dry. It's just that recreation-all-the-time mentality; from 5am until 9pm you can be outside having fun in the summer... hiking the ice gulch over there, the Presidentials, playing in the field, exploring the forest. What a place to be outside for the kids.

That’s a wet ride on the ATV. Brap brap gurgle. Always one of the more fun rides though ha.

Looked up the data for Mansfield... same exact weather this afternoon as Christmas afternoon. 51F and rain... vs. 50F and rain. Wet hike today.

Tamarack, I don't know what you did to anger the rain gods so much.

It was 51F on Mansfield in the rain when we were up there. It was 50F in the rain on Christmas afternoon looking at the data. Similar experience both holidays.

Ha whew. You always get me with the “here” phrasing like you are up there. Glutton for punishment from your wife if you dragged her into that misty dark weather from summery mid-Atlantic .

Tell me you didn’t leave the Delaware shore for this weather abortion up north for the 4th?! We went for a hike this afternoon in sheet mist and fog with occasional rain. We look as wet as the dog.

At least we are getting our mid-level banding in July. Good snowgrowth zone too. Some good high-ratio rainfall.

Similar to a ski vacation in the east… or I guess anything where you are betting on New England weather. The odds of getting one shit day in a week at both the beach/summer and mountains/winter is pretty good, but it takes a real ugly pattern to ruin 3-4 days.

Last 3 days of rain. Stein is floating away along with the mulch beds running down the street. Only 1.10" here but you know it's wet when 1" is one of the lowest bins, ha.

“Embrace the disaster.” Wise words.

Gotta love when the true weenie comes out in the NWS discos once in a while. From BTV: Water vapor shows deep closed cyclonic circulation center over western NY, while moist conveyor of mid/upper lvl moisture continues along the Eastern Conus. Closed 700 to 500mb circulation wl slowly track from western NY into SNE by 00z Sunday. Only if this was winter-time, this would be an ideal track for big snows acrs the fa, always dreaming about the white stuff, as we have made the turn. Meanwhile, this 2 to 3 STD below normal trof wl continue to produce a cool and unsettled holiday weekend.

Yeah saw that, wild that it’s even an option. Can you imagine that within the same week ORH pops several 90F or above in a row? Heatwave to all-time low, .

55/53 at 5pm in the late afternoon on July 2nd at ORH is hilarious. Usually the max heating time of day.

Trippy. Easy thread statistics front and center on mobile. I gotta get my count up to match Phinny in the banter thread but he’s got a huge head start.

That's almost a summer month's worth of rain for the Pike region, ha.

They are everywhere at elevation on Mansfield. The Toll Road morning checks/drive used to reveal many of them. You could see 3-4 on the drive at 7am in the summer. The dog chases them all the time up there. For some reason never see them down low, but they thrive up high for some reason. Maybe lack of predators up there? The coyotes and foxes take care of the population below 2,000ft?

Stein. Definitely didn't see these synoptic (with convective elements) systems last summer or even recent summers.

This in an hour or two in an urban environment has to be leading to poor drainage flooding… underpasses, etc. Looks like BAF at 1.79” and an inch per hour.

Some fun Wunderground obs there. Chicopee like 2” down raining at 4”/hr. Looks like it’s leaving a decent footprint of 2”+.

The Mass Pike out there must be fun in those torrential trainers.

Yeah that’s hard to ignore.

Ginxy gets 1-2” from scattered showers… hard to bet against his area right now . 1-3” rest of the state.
