BTV leading the pack at 93F so far.
-
Looks like MPV ASOS picked up a quick 0.53" to go with the 0.35" from yesterday. The airport grass is getting some watering, ha.
-
Ha, looks like MVL has touched 90F already for the 5th straight day. A torch of yore. BTV at 91F.
-
Storms started early today. Ignition was like following a topo map of the Spine and then just drifting eastward.
-
Crazy that we are only +0.9 on the month despite the past 5 days of ridiculous heat. What a month. Wild swings from cold to hot to cold to torch. -12/+10/-5/+6/-10/+12
-
That's terrifying... sometimes those things pop up out of no where in these air masses. They happen surprisingly quick too.
-
Pretty sweet summer sunset. This really is pure summer, seasons in seasons. Through a weakening rain shaft on the south side and then anvil on the north side with a couple mammatus cold pockets descending under the parent cloud.

Put that on the weather.gov 9 dangers of hiking graphic.

Mansfield managed to stay relatively cloud free on the hill today for some reason, lots of sunshine so today was actually the hottest day in the stretch up there. 82F at the picnic tables, only 3F off the all-time high set in May, which matches with BTV's 94F. They hit 95F that day in May when the summit hit 85F. Yesterday afternoon storms kept the temp down.

This is the cell down near Waterbury as seen from my place, hearing the thunder from it... there's even some mammatus clouds now in the armpit of that thing.

The crazy cloud porn continues from these localized storms. This is the cell down near Waterbury as seen from my place, hearing the thunder from it... there's even some mammatus clouds now in the armpit of that thing.

Yeah that makes more sense. Urban flooding doesn’t vary with weeks of dryness... if it takes a fast 1-2” to flood parking lots and low areas on highways, then that’s what it takes. I was looking at it through the lens up here on how much water it takes to get a stream into a muddy torrent blowing out culverts and washouts. Usually those FF guidance progs are pretty accurate in that regard.
-
At least 94F at BTV again today.... dews in the mid-50s though keeping RH <30%. We hit at least 90F here for the 4th straight day... BML and IZG also with their 4th straight 90F or higher day. NNE torch flames on. The mountain valleys are the new BDL.
-
Actually probably pretty close in Brockton if they are over 2".... 1-hr FF values showing 2.5-3.0" there. The Cape needs a lot of water to trigger, ha. Though I don't know how this takes into account urban areas... that's probably a different animal than how much rain it takes to make a waterway a muddy torrent. A highway underpass probably floods with the same amount of water whether its been dry or not.
-
Some good cloud porn today though on the whole.
-
It's been dry? We had a couple locations just north of here come in with 1.88" and 2.10" in very short order yesterday with no FFW. I think the FF guidance is really high, like 3"/hr or more right now.
-
Towers going up in every direction.
-
BML already hit 90F... think that’s 4 in a row.
-
I know how CT can get, every other year I go down there it seems ridiculously humid with the sites 68-72F type dews. Just saw a bunch of low 60s inland sites and that actually seemed not all that bad by CT summer standards. Its not dry Chamber for sure, it’s that first stage of muggy on the news humidity graphics, lol. BOS at 68F like up here for dews, that’s humid.
-
Dews aren’t impressive at all down there. It’s 85/62 at IJD... 85/68 up here at MVL (rain yesterday with fog all night jacked up our humidity). BDL is 88/62, ORH 84/61. Not screaming humid but I’m not down there.
-
Woke up to that without A/C after 93F yesterday, ha. Outside was 62F. Very thankful for the nights lately. I might turn the A/C on a little in that 4-8pm range but then it’s usually cooler outside by 9pm where it seems silly to have it blasting air when the windows and deck doors could be open.
-
It was impressive how heavy the rain was in those today. Just torrential huge rain drops. Was very happy to see almost a half inch in the gauge when I got home. Ground sucked that up real fast.
-
BTV and BML pulled 94s today. PWM, IZG, MVL, CON with 93s. Just an absolute torching of NNE sites lately.
-
High of 93F at MVL, wow. The second time this year and in the decade I’ve lived here I’ve never seen it go above 92F, and we’ve had a summer or two without even hitting 90F. Now down to 70/64, a pleasant evening.
-
Picked up 0.42” of much needed water at home.
