We hope

This is my alarm clock in the morning. I downloaded audio and made it my alarm clock

central/southern VT.

Gotta admit...when I hear people talking about how hot it is and how high the humidity is...I get tingling sensations all throughout my body. There is something physically, mentally, and sexually stimulating about listening to talk of heat and humidity. It's like a concerto of sweet, magical, softness slowly vibrating off the ear drums.

Could see some flash flooding in parts of Vermont tomorrow. Could even see a few nasty storms out in NY...maybe a few supercells.

PWAT anomalies nearing +2.5 SD Sunday night.

That does seem super low. Wasn't the death toll from the BUF LES higher then that?

There is going to be some flash flooding and significant flash flooding potential Saturday into Monday. It's tough to discern right now where the corridor of the heavier rain axis sets-up, right now this looks to favor western sections but there could be some significant rain totals in this time frame, especially if this becomes a scenario with upslope enhancement which seems plausible. Note: There may be quite the gradient in rainfall totals within the region during this timeframe, unless the axis happens to center on the region as a whole. There may also be two axes of heavier rainfall, always have to watch the southeast coast if you get any LLJ support in play.

We hope we pray

Better hope Billy Cundiff isn’t kicking

Just had lightning and thunder!!

I have a friend who lives in Rocky Hill. The flooding there was insane. His and his wife's condo unit were fine but several units within the complex had as much as 8'' of water in them.

I think any activity tomorrow is more on the isolated side. Forcing and dynamics aren’t very impressive around here. But any cells could have a good amount of thunder/lightning with good MUCAPE

Too bad it wasn’t 95 out

Holy crap what a day!!! This was probably the second time in my life having a background in weather (particularly convection) paid dividends. I met one of my best friends and his dad in West Hartford center for lunch. For some odd reason my phone was not working at all. In the top right corner where you see see your bars of service and network it just said 'E'. Anyways, after dinner, my friend and I were going to walk around the center. Literally maybe 2-3 minutes after leaving the restaurant there was this loud crash. Initially I was thinking fireworks but I looked around me and saw the sky. I said we had to go take cover ASAP. We went for cover under a parking garage and I'm trying to load radar but nothing is happening because my phone isn't working. The storm was coming at us from behind and right across the drive was a little building complex with an overhang which would face the direction the storm was coming so we went there. About 20 seconds after we made it under the skies opened up. The wind was blowing at us meaning we were getting the outflow from the leading edge. The storm was passing overhead and then all of a sudden the wind switched directions and was blowing at us from the back edge of the storm. As the storm was ongoing I noticed updraft features and when the wind started blowing at us from the opposite direction my inclination was the storm was strengthening and growing upscale. Having no phone/radar was pissing me off. I'm trying to call some people to get radar updates. I was having trouble calling out but eventually got a hold of some people. I asked them for radar updates. Exactly what I envisioned was going on was confirmed by radar. Got some nice gusty winds (guessing 30-35 mph gusts) and some good lightning and cracks of thunder!

Been on the extreme western edge of the rain and it’s been pouring for like the last 2+ hours.

It's always amazes me how Mother Nature works. How often during the summer do we just get "so close" to getting the bigger heat with super high dews in here with bouts of EML's? Every time the pattern seems to favor it we have some stupid troughing over EC and northern NNE and it just deflects this airmass into the mid-Atlantic (which happens this weekend and early next week). It just has to be the "laws" of nature where do the physics background of these atmospheric states the response has to be a trough over our region lol. This is what I guess makes those patterns like July 1995 so rare...the wavelength of the ridging was just so anomalous that it was able to extend into our region and we were able to cash in on high heat/dews with svr.

It is possible we could sneak some heat into portions of the region towards the end of the week. Otherwise its warm temperatures (cooler farther north) with humidity. No days look like washouts but we'll see daily bouts of hit-and-miss storms. May see a better chance for showers and thunderstorms at the end of the week or next weekend as front/trough approach.

KIND gusted to 61 knots...wild

SWEET!!!!

Just like with winter storms, 10-12 days never seems to get here

Holy crap...storms in southern IN have tops past 60,000 feet

I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING CLOSED OFF, CUT-OFF, WHATEVER THE HELL OFF LOWS. That's all the extended shows. Deflects the high heat and storm chances southwest. Sick and tired of this atmospheric garbage crap

Yeah it was wild. I saw the bright and before I could think the crash happened. I ran right inside I was under the overhang which connects to garage so I think I was fine haha.

I feel like 99% of the region could be well above-average for precipitation and one tiny 2 sq ft mile could be below-average and he would be harping on that.
