Where the hell does Codfish live?

I wasn't busting on you with my comment btw. It's just that E of the River covers many latitudinal miles.

I thought in the 16 Acres area of Springfield by I may be off.

East of CT river folks looking good but a pretty sharp cut off for the big stuff. Little tick west and a bit quicker deepening and western CT will certainly get the goods as well!

   Enough already.  Most of Springfield is E of the River are the E of River comments implying Codfish gets warning snows?

Can we start clarifying E of the River?  When that term is used it seems to be more relative to CT not areas further N.

If you want a silver lining, my area was modeled to get about 15" in Feb '13 and we wound up with closer to a meter. You never know with these things.

Feb 13 is not walking through the door.

We see this again and again.  Eeyore all over this one for western areas.

2-4" in the Valley seems likely.  More in the hilltowns obviously.

Do you have any maps of January 23, 2005?  Still in my top 3 behind 2/78 and 4/97.  Over 30" in Cambridge/Somerville death banding.  Entire cars covered up and down snow choked streets.  Glad I was still in Boston for that one because iirc W MA did not do nearly as well.  I just remember people walking around monday morning shaking their heads at how they would dig their vehicles out that had been buried by plows and drifting.  Sidewalks in the city were a complete disaster and some side streets were not plowed for hours after the last flakes.

Marie has made a western move right over the Island, while certainly not a Cat 5, that move by it has spread its hurricane force winds over the entire island. The Dominican Republic is now at a higher risk

Also not good news for Turks and Caicos.

I know flooding isn't as "sexy" as wind, but this seems like it's heading to a catastrophe as far as freshwater flooding goes.

 Speaking of which what are the current rainfall projections for Dominican Republic?

Obviously Puerto Rico and Turks & Caicos are in trouble but the sharp turn N pretty much saves Hispaniola and the Bahamas so there is that bright side. 

Edit: of course a wobble W due to interaction w/ PR which seems unlikely based on model clusters could still create major problems for DR. 

I know PR is in the cross hairs but it seems that Turks and Caicos possibly avoid a direct hit?  Although it skirts Hispaniola could be some pretty bad flooding/mudslide issues there.  That island won't even be a news bi-line w/ all the focus on Puerto Rico.

The afternoon commute traffic this summer sucked the big one.  Don't know what was up with that.

Agree. Traffic can only get better.

I dunno', I've been going into Cambridge 1-2 month for work for the past 4 years and it seems to be getting worse with each passing year.  I think it is due to a number of factors including more students with cars, more people working untraditional 9-5 hours and my personal theory being people on their phones and over devices.  If everybody making a call, text or searching for something slows themselves down by 2-3 seconds because of their actions, think of the cumulative effect of thousands of people doing it. 

Personally I'll take a warm September  and save cool and crisp for October.

Why?

 He must be kidding, there is no way you can call a foliage season on July 31st.

I agree with you though, it has been a great summer in terms of comfort.  I have only had five or six air conditioning days at home. ( more than that in the car of course)

  Maybe a slight cool down next week? 

6 minutes ago, Damage In Tolland said:

Again you missed the point . You guys keep talking about cool and BN summer . We haven't had that and next week has trended warmer but it's not being admitted 

Next week has definitely ticked up a bit temp wise.  Not sure about humidity but could be a few A/C days for sure.

Fortunately it is the GFS at 5 days out but both the 6Z and 12Z runs would be realllly bad up here, given the flooding over this past weekend:

 

12Z

 

 

6Z

You don't think 5 days is enough time to dry out?

Huge shift back north at 0z. Rainy saturday?

Please, no!

Sunday looks like sun / clouds 85-90 with sky high dews where you just keep wiping and never can quite get it all

 Maybe just go with diapers and a tank top? 

Tomorrow and Thursday are not quite the cool down they looked like.  Sure, dp's will be lower but my NWS p/c forecast for both days is 3- 4° higher than it was yesterday. 

I agree, I think Sunday will be pretty uncomfortable in the Ct Valley from Hartford to Brattleboro. 

GFS looks like a cooler pattern in the long range - out beyond day 8 or 9. 

Rain threats tomorrow look pretty isolated.  Bring the heat, I'm ready, it's summer!

I'll install Sunday morning if it looks oppressive beyond Monday.

Tues night?  I had been thinking some decent convection from that, but it doesn't look as promising now

 As usual it looks like West will be best for any possible T storms.
