86/69 Sneaking in as one of the more uncomfortable afternoons of the season. Guess that's what happens when it rains... it's no longer desert dry in the low levels, ha.
-
81/68 Wow is it hot and humid, wasn’t really expecting that.
-
New England needed this synoptic set-up with a cut off low just spinning pinwheels of moisture around the region. High sun angle and insolation with good surface dew points, under the upper level low... the convection started up almost immediately as the sun reached a certain point each day.
-
Not a ton here but enough and a ground soaking each day for several days in a row... I'm sure the vegetation enjoyed the frequency. ~1.50" here, the ASOS had more.
-
Speaking of sweet clouds, had some mammatus for the 2nd or 3rd time in the last 4 days.
-
It has been awesome.
-
I'm on my way. I'll stop at NETA Northampton on the way down I-91.
-
They were in it longer but the core of that storm looked to wash out right over your fanny. Good to see a solid hit there.
-
Happy for him, I know how much his lawn means. Wunderground stations have widespread 1.0-1.5" around Tolland today and still adding to it. Hopefully we can get you some rain but you've had several other good rainers this month right? This event seems to have panned out with a lot of posters eventually seeing good rains through the 4 days of chances.
-
1.40" at Tolland Stem in past 24 hours and still raining? Not too shabby but I know those amounts can vary greatly within towns.

I was just wondering if DIT was getting smoked. Some really good echoes for a while in his area.
-
Another day of showers and storms.
-
Still pretty widespread for this time of night in NH. Synoptics still going. This stuff rains efficiently.
-
Fast moving showers through the local valley here, quick puddles that then dry up fast if the sun comes out. Guess we have one more afternoon of chances. The real rainers were outside the area.
-
Not much today, 0.16” in about 4 different showers. I’m sure the vegetation appreciates 3 straight days with some natural water though. 1.40” for the system. Heaviest stuff looked both north of here and then again south down near @mreaves and MPV area.
-
We got lucky with a couple this past winter... even that May 11th dynamic cooling event where it went from like 55F at noon to pounding wet snow at 32F by 4-5pm was a CCB. We certainly can go entire winters this far northwest without them. Mid-level Magic is the name of the game. We need those low tracks through SNE like we saw this winter, lol.
-
There was a lot of doubt from most coming into this, but probably recency bias from the lack of rain the previous 45 days. I still think it was hard to ignore every single model showing pretty much the exact same thing.... good SE flow wrapping moisture all the way from Bermuda into Maine and then pinwheeling convection every afternoon for days on end. It was a good synoptic set up. Even with convection folks were saying lapse rates looked like shit but there’s been plenty of thunder/lightning.
-
A true days and days of snow pattern. 72/66 after that last shower, when the sun is out it feels steamy. Type of stuff where you see the water evaporating up off the pavement.
-
Yeah looks like some good storms in the Northfield area and just SW of Montpelier. Vermont south of I-89 is pretty lit up. It's sort of cleaned out up here to the north after a couple quick downpours.
-
We puddle. These cells are moving so much faster it seems than recent days. Suns already back out minutes after a downpour.
-
Yeah the past two days our stuff has been coming from NH/ME. Yesterday’s radar looked like a nor’easter curling bands into NE VT.
-
Ha touché. I do think certain times are better than others, then again our generations haven’t done it during this type of uncertainty. Many folks have told me if you wait until you feel financially secured to have a kid you’ll never have one.
-
A lot more sun so far this morning than yesterday under that quasi deformation area or whatever that was. Feels humid and the sun is hot.... I think we get some heavy rainers this afternoon, clouds already look to be getting some decent vertical development. 75/63
-
I’m totally joking, too. Know you love your kids and I know I would if my wife and I go down that path soon. Unfortunately COVID is probably rolling that back a couple years. Don't know if now is the time to jump into parenting with so many longer term unknowns.
