CT Rain

00z NAM washes away southern ORH county tomorrow AM.

No shortage of instability at OKX

Very impressive hail signature in NE CT earlier. Not surprised by the 1.75" hail reports. 

Tons of wind damage across the state.

WOAH!!  

Where'd you take that pic Paul? Great stuff!

Yeah was looking at that. Seems like it could have potential.

Could see a marginal risk kind of day with NW flow bringing golf balls to the Seacoast. 

Thursday could be interesting if we can bump dew points up a bit. Cold temps aloft, decent lapse rates, and strong mid level flow. Worth watching.

Is the rrfs available online so we can see how it does with convection?

The 3km is hit or miss to say the least but the hrrr is borderline unusable IMO, at least around here

The RRFS is on weatherbell for sure. It does OK from what I can see. 

My bigger question is how it does in the cold season - cold air damming, mesoscale banding, etc.

Why would their data dissemination not match what they are saying verbally - I'm likely legit, sure but it's still interesting.  

 

Because the METARs only report a 6 hour max every 6 hours and the 1-min obs are rounded to the nearest degree C so unless they actually dial in manually we don't know for sure. 

If they provided 1-minute data that wasn't rounded we'd know sooner.

Not yet.  3pm still 100 

NWS told us it was 101 when they dialed in shortly before 3. 

101 Logan

Congrats Maine.

The only time I can find BDL hitting 100° in June is 6/30/64. Would be impressive if it happens next week.

They were last at 100F in 2019. They reached 103F in 2011.

Finally getting decent rain. But won't be much.

 

Thursday is your classic Albany to VT and NH day. Down to western MA and NW CT perhaps too. Rest of us are watching anvil canopies. 

Yeah. Looks like a big day points N & W. 

Thursday's severe threat seems decent especially near/west of I-91. 

Mid-level lapse rates are fairly steep plus decent low and deep layer shear.

it was loaded af lol

you've been focusing on the dark side

lol this sounding is nothing special at all. Even assuming it's overmixed in the boundary layer you've got CAPE that's not impressive with meh mid-level rates. You also have 0-6km shear on the order of 25 knots or so which is not sufficient for organization/supercells.

Absolutely nothing like 6/20/95 or any of our more memorable events.

CT Rain person said no severe, laughed at that assertion days ago

I didn't say no severe... just that sounding you posted didn't show anything of the sort. 

Aurora tonight?

18z goes bonkers D9 - 6/20/95 anniversary btw.  wish that could happen again

What's exciting about this? 

Lapse rates are pretty steep. Sucks there's not better mid level flow but we'll probably have some fun bangers around.

12z CMC also cooled way down for next week

Yeah didn't like seeing that on the GGEM. GEFS still look OK though. 

EPS, GEPS, and Ukie a total disaster Sunday through Wednesday. Lock it in

Wiz - are we locking in the D6/D7 EML on the GFS?

Updated this for the 11pm news tonight. 

HRRR is really impressive for many. The NAM has been warmer with a stubborn layer around 850. We'll see!
