It’s amazing how few posts take place in these threads once the threat of heat and dews disappears.

Nice rain total... get almost as much in 2-3 hours compared to what took 18 hours to do up here . Efficiency.

Yeah I've been watching the clearing back to the west in an attempt to get the dog out for her 3-mile loop. Looks like this last round should finally be it for rain. Crazy it started last night at like 11pm and it's just finishing up here at 6pm the next day. This burst looked to put down a quick quarter inch or so with some of the heavier rain rates of the event. I see a lot of Underhill stations are now over 2" and so are the ones a little further up the road by the ski area. Down here in town it looks like 1.3-1.4". I'm assuming you are likely on the higher end there too as the westerly flow looked to be doing its business over the Spine the whole event. The clearing is so close! Looks like the sun is already out in the northern Champlain Valley for the 90 minutes or so of the daylight.

Ben and Jerry’s Factory has probably run out of parking lol. Anyway, looks like some truer fall weather later this week. Highs in the 60s every day after Wednesday... and next weekend BTV has 5-10F below normal with days of like 62/42 type stuff.

Nice, glad someone else is suffering through this Labor Day with a wet one lol. I just got home to 1.13” when I emptied the stratus. A solid half inch less than up at the mountain a few miles away but that’s normal. Im always amazed at how well the BTV 4km WRF and the 3km NAM can resolve those QPF differences in synoptic events... and it was generally right with 1-1.25” in town and 1.75-2.00” up the road at the mountain.... giving the ski area an extra 0.03-0.05”/hr for 12 hours.

Labor Day at the movies, kids.

Good solid soaking though... been raining for a straight 13 hours now.

But it is full shit today. Makes it easier to end a vacation I’m sure. Harder to leave if today was the full sun day. Parents have that anxious to get home vibe... goes with what others have said about the end of summer. Pace of life picks up and just has a different vibe than the end of a July weekend where no one is in a hurry to go anywhere. Now the families have this rushed feeling.

Heh, they got two phenomenal days before hand... everyone is heading home anyway. Yesterday was our busiest summer operations day of the season. Even had to close the Toll Road at 2pm due to too many cars. Full sun and 70F was glorious.

Labor Day of Yore. 56F and 1.41” of rain up here at the ski resort.

Meso-models and HRRR have some decent storms in SNE later today. HRRR/3km NAM printing the localized 2” rainfall amounts among stripes of heavier QPF for you southerners. That stuff in eastern PA looks pretty robust for rain, at least in western SNE.

Steady light rain most of the night. 59F with 0.69” so far. Oddly nice to listen to just a steady synoptic soaking.

Rain commeth. All that talk about snow holes the other day, BTV also a big rain hole. Yikes at that downslope rain forecast on SW flow into BTV:

Good surf this week for your beaches out ahead of the storm?

Can only wait for all the “you guys asked for it” posts when it’s warm after the butterfly changes to ACATT. “You could’ve had your heat in the summer but no, you wanted COC. Now it’s hot when no one wants it.”

No but neither is my grandmother and she doesn’t need to be told twice that there’s such a thing as a Cat 5 lol. Each one is something he’s certain has never happened before . Just makes shit up all day long. But whatever works ha.

Looks like most/all models have 1-2” of rain tomorrow for a large portion of NNE. Hunker down inside and watch it rain I guess. Been a while since we’ve had a good 12-18 hour synoptic rain.

Looks like a Cat 5, possibly the fifth time President Trump has heard of one for the 1st time:

44F this morning and now absolutely stunning out. Much better than yesterday. Tomorrow looks like most models have 0.75-1.50” for much of the NNE region.

Shot by family member from Woodstock, CT this evening. Woodstock Fair going on as well. This type of stuff makes me realize why my parents live here all summer.

That's life in the mountains. Unblocked or blocked flows mean a lot depending on the wind direction. Unblocked east flow can crush the west slopes. Blocked east flow will hit the eastern side. Vertical wind & thermal profiles mean a lot.

If it was E/NE flow firehose off the Atlantic, DDH could've been rain despite over 2" of QPF. My guess is given that they would be downsloped (that doesn't mean a sharp QPF drop off necessarily, but temperatures will respond) and see a lot of "white rain"... big wet flakes that despite the rates still can't truly accumulate besides a wet slop.

This is insane from a lightning storm... holy shit at 150 people injured via lightning. Sounds like it hit a metal cross at the top of the peak and traveled down the handrails and chains hikers use to pull themselves up the mountain. WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A Polish emergency official on Friday likened the deadly lightning storm over the Tatra Mountains that killed at least five people and injured more than 150 to a terror attack in terms of the number of casualties and some of the wounds. Survivors described horrific scenes in which climbers were blown off slopes, suffered severe trauma injuries after being hit by rocks or couldn't move in the initial aftermath of multiple lightning strikes that hit the Giewont peak and other locations in the Tatras on Thursday. "This is a situation that can be compared to a terrorist attack," Krzysztof said. "A large group of random people has been hit. Many people, including children. Burnt, with broken legs, wounds all over their bodies." Mariusz Brodzinski, who was on his first trip to the Tatras with his wife, said he saw a young woman who was walking in front of his wife on the Giewont mountain suddenly fall off the slope after lightning struck the metal chains they were holding on to. "This woman is dead," Brodzinski told Polish broadcaster TVN24. "My wife slid and suffered a fractured pelvis and injured head. I have a burnt foot. It felt like it was scorching." He said that for 15 minutes after the strike his hands felt numb and he had no strength to get to his wife. It was over an hour before the first helicopter came, he said. Officials said the lightning storm killed four people in Poland, including two children, aged 10 and 14, and two women, and a Czech tourist in neighboring Slovakia. Polish tabloid Fakt reported that the children were brother and sister. In addition, more than 150 people caught in the storm were treated for burns, fractures and heart problems at the hospital in Zakopane. Officials said 34 people remained hospitalized Friday in Zakopane, Krakow and other locations. Among them were three teenagers aged between 11 and 16 who suffered serious burns.

Ahh that evolution looked like a heavy paste bomb in NNJ. Too bad for them, lol.

Will said the 850 analysis may be too high but nothing good in New England comes from this look. Rain for Tamarack and all of us, while NJ gets pounded.
