Best severe I’ve seen in years. As you know I’m a little gun shy because I’ve had a few bad incidents but it’s still thrilling when you’re in it and somewhat safe.
Live scanner reporting trees down everywhere.
On my way home earlier, there was a branch down less than 20 feet from the tree fall that almost killed me a few years back. That spot has bad juju.
It's weird because we usually have plenty of deer flies but I've hardly seen any this year and almost no mosquitos in Greenfield but friends say tons of them down towards Northhampton and Easthampton.
Sun finally came out here. 89/73
How much does the lack of rain in certain areas affect localized dewpoints? When a humid air mass blankets the area will places that have seen rain in the past few days end up with higher DP’s or is it negligible and mostly based on the air mass in place?
I will say the relative lack of rain has been great for keeping the mosquitos down. My neighborhood has been mostly mosquito and deer fly free the past 2 weeks. Could be the healthy bat population helping with that. I also have not seen a tick in weeks.
Depending on how this week shakes out we should see the abnormally dry areas expand quite a bit on the next update. My area is already in the yellow but not noticeable yet with the vegetation etc. Local rivers are low though.
