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.
-
The US as a whole looks moist on this map.

It all has a big impact. It would be hard to quantify subjectively one or the other. Even at the ski areas and NNE vacation towns wet weather sucks big time for times like the 4th, Labor Day, Columbus Day, etc. Places are sold out this weekend. Ski area ziptour sold out starting Friday… stuff like that. Not going to sell 2k Gondola tickets a day in the fog and mist. It all hurts from a business standpoint unless you own a cinema… but good for them, ha, been a rough year there too.

A dew point of 57F right now feels like come crisp Canadian air mass in October after the past 4-5 days.

ORH with 91, 93, 93 seems impressive. That's some high end heat for 1,000ft over multiple days.

LA wasn't as bad as I expected during time of days that are said to be terrible. Only had a week out there on vacation so it didn't really matter, was heading to and from beaches, but they had enough lanes to handle the flow at some supposedly rush hour times. Even to and from the airport in LA. 8-12 lanes wide at times, it was crowded but flowed at a good speed. Its amazing what infrastructure can do... and space. They have the space without thick forests to go wide out west.

0.5"+ is a good drink. That'll soak. Can't imagine from a vegetation standpoint that another half inch in quick time really would matter. Just get those drinks in.
-
Can't believe they are playing through this.
-
What did that slug that just moved through give you?
-
Sox look like they are playing in a swamp.
-
Did ok here with rain. 0.64" in the Stratus next to the Country Club. Looks like the surrounding PWS are similar, a little less in the Lower Village and east. We've done ok lately, 1"/week average seems to keep drought at bay. Like in winter when SNE cleans up, we can usually putz along with some consistency as a consolation prize .
-
Good wind popping up in Woodstock area now. Intensifying it seems from further east, or the radar is hitting it lower.
-
Looked like 30-40mph at 4,500ft where the 0.5 degree scan hits?
-
A good drink and lightning. No wind. Torrential rain in these.
-
Getting thunder now here at the mountain and a very humid -RN.
-
Matt Barnes is a closer, strikes out the side in the 9th, in a one run game. Red Sox win 27th come from behind game. The Red Sox are good. 43-4 when scoring 4 or more runs.
-
Oh yeah, it drives the dog nuts. There will be 3 of them out there swimming around and slapping their tails in a big splash before going underwater. The young ones love signaling the herd that some other creature is around. After a few days watching them, the kids swim in very distinct routes in the shade while the adults take charge in the open. Nature.
-
Impressive lightning burst on all the progs! That must've been a fun one. Nothing like a hot and humid evening featuring a strong electrical storm. That's some summer vibes.
-
Whole family of beavers have moved into the river out back. They've completely damned it up wall to wall in like 3 days, pretty impressive. At one point we counted 6 of them swimming around. Probably mom, dad, and four kids. They drop a couple mature trees a night and mow vegetation down like crazy. The work ethic is impressive though, they've got rocks and mud on top of their dam which is about 18" tall so far.
