@alex's growing season is done after tonight...

It was happening a long time before COVID though... The conspiracy theory side of things is pretty much unchecked and running rampant right now. This stuff is mind blowing the more I read about it. How does this take hold in a place like America?! https://time.com/5887437/conspiracy-theories-2020-election/

It’s become cool to mock empathy. It’s all me, me, me. Definitely as divided as ever.

Yeah I love day after day without rain. Never have to get stuck inside when you want to be recreating outside. 57F with a breeze here...had to shut all windows and doors. Crazy change from the hot and humid morning.

To me they didn’t show it like that. I mean literally a few miles to your north got rain... 0.36” in Somers, 0.26” in Ellington, etc. I just looked at those global models again and they didn’t show a like 20 mile wide band of nothing.

Heres the front...autumn spreading south.

It’s crazy how wet that Pike region has been while a county south DIT can’t buy a drop. I mean look at that dry right up as it hits NE CT. SW of ORH has been very wet with a few events, it’s so close to DIT each time.

Down to 64F up here at 6pm... impressive drop against the normal diurnal trend this afternoon from the max of 84F around 12pm. Breezy and cloudy with almost a chill in the air now from very hot/humid morning.

Even that -RN disintegrated as it entered Tolland County. Yikes. ORH keeps on being wet, 0.60” and raining at the ASOS.

Bring that winter optimism next event and see what happens.

Hopefully the air isn’t perpetually sinking along 84 like a standing wave pattern. Definitely a win for emotional forecasting. Usually in winter a Debbie can use it to pull a decent event.

Nature can smell the fear in Tolland. Afraid, fearful and dry. I think he needs to try to do what he does in winter by steering storms (ie back to the river, to south of the pike, etc).

Can see the Stein zone near Springfield.

It looked pretty consistent yesterday at 12z. It is almost comical how even in CT there’s heavy showers along the Mass border north of Kev, and then heavy stuff south of 84 too... but along 84 in general looks like light high based stuff.

Front is through up here... hit 84F for a torch max around lunch time, now down to 72F at 3pm. 60s are just NW of here in northern Champlain Valley and moving this way, even some 50s outside Montreal.

I mean the models had what they had yesterday... they are all saved in the thread ha, ha. I guess it is go meh every single time regardless of output 24 hours out.

Lol... DDH ASOS in S.VT is at 1.23” in roughly the past 80 minutes with +RN continuing. Band looks like it could be good for 2”+.

It better rain some more. I do not want to lose to emotional forecasting but that radar needs to get going this afternoon.

58F here too, but it feels humid now for sure. 58F is higher that any normal summer min.

Ha, if that happens, I’ll join you with Stein being real there.

Add in worrying if your neighborhood will burn to the ground because someone tosses a cigarette butt out the car window... or maybe because there’s a gender reveal party down the street? Its crazy when it’s like “A lowered Honda Civic bottomed out pulling into the Walmart parking lot and the resulting sparks burned an entire county to the ground...”

Dews really ramp up tomorrow, no surprise there'll be some heavy rain with widespread 70-75F dews down there.

I guess this explains the narrow torch zone, ha.

Yeah it's a weird one.... hottest looks to be an axis from C.NY through C.VT into N.NH. Not often MPV at 1,200ft is 85F while BTV at 300ft is 75F. Gradient is pushing into the northern Champlain Valley now... Massena, NY is 61F lol.

I’ve been there, ha. That’s what I was saying, like when you get 2 months of failed snow events, even if the models show you at 6-12” with 24 hours to go, your mind starts with the defense mechanisms... it’ll go south, banding will go north, you start almost making up reasons why the models are wrong. We’ve all been there but I know it takes a good face slap by you or Scooter to snap out of that unscientific line of thinking, ha. Looking at 12z I’d go like 1/3rd to 2/3rds of an inch for Tolland County.
