Then we would have to listen to 9 days complaints about whether or not the high would slip offshore to early, or block the northward push of moisture into nrn New Eng, as well as where the coastal front will setup; screw zones... etc... My head hurts just thinking about it!!! Lol

I still hear warm fall periods referred to as Indian Summer by mets... I use all the time during warm fall periods in my daily updates to my clients... Have never been approached about it having a negative connotation. You might be confusing the Columbus Day issue, which has been a sticking point in some areas given Columbus writings stating his thoughts about indians being the perfect slave, and/or being easily slaughtered. Getting back to Indian Summer, the research I've seen references the fact the local natives indicated to settlers that there was time for more harvesting after the initial cold of early fall since it was often followed by a warm period(s); thus Indian Summer. Indians were aware of this tendency to see warm periods after early fall cold.

On a large computer screen (laptop or desktop) it's tremendous...

Yes

Absolutely no argument from me! Not looking to get into all the well known specifics, but it is flourishing in many industries; public and private. It is all about maintaining a revenue stream regardless of truth or facts...

Agree 100%... He just moves on from one failed hype to the next... very predictable scenario... every year there is at least 1, if not multiple mentions of Hazel, the 38 storm and other historic events. Compared to a decade or 2 ago, his credibility is shot...

Don't worry some storm will form and miss by 1000 miles but he will use it to say "see my forecast had merit"....he is far more predictable than any hurricane.

Nobody had freezes across CT Friday; there will be upper 50's for highs across most of elevated CT... Ryan's number likely reflects the highs for metro areas as well as I-91 corridor...

Hey Walt my interest has certainly risen over the past 24 hrs for potential big totals across SNE... Hedging closer to Tue/Wed, but not trying to get too specific right now. Several overlapping, relatively weak features at the moment that in the past were tip offs to a big rain event. Been waiting for the great flip from drought to an excessive rain event to show itself. Will be interesting to see overnight trends...

As depicted, that would be a fish storm...

Tip... When you have a second, check your messages.

Agree... Also think the long slog back towards more frequent widespread rain events for SNE... It wouldn't be a flip the switch pattern change to a wetter pattern, but I'm encouraged by what I see in terms of rainfall trends down the road.

Looking back at the velocity scans, I doubt there are many NWS forecasters that would have warned on that cell. I think calling it more of a landspout is correct; probably helped along by just enough terrain induced rotation.

It's almost impossible in these types of flows to get abundant sunshine across SNE... Cloud cover is usually fairly widespread. That being said, nature of the atmosphere is still decent for some severe events from northern NJ northeast into southwest CT. SPC meso analysis is highlighting southeastern NY into southwest CT for an elevated spin-up risk over the next couple of hours. Given low lcl's I would closely monitor any organized cells moving across that area? Could see a non-warned event or a late warned event.

"it is clear there is no interest in Meteorology" Truer words have never been spoken!!!

Absolutely correct Wiz... One of the most useless discussions in New England weather forum is the drought, endless Stein chatter. Lack of exciting severe wx or hurricane threats or truly hot periods pushes folks to spend endless time on New England faux drought crap.

Highly agree!

Some interesting summer reading for some perhaps? https://wcd.copernicus.org/articles/3/659/2022/

The phrase "settling in" might be a bit overdone. Certainly looks like a nice 2 to 3 day period of summer-like conditions for many, but I don't see anything that suggest it is here to stay.

I agree with this "well-reasoned, non-hyped Damage in Tolland" statement!

"This is going down as warmest Morch since 2012". "Ensembles show a normal to slightly AN pattern thru end of month" Kev... here are 2 quotes from your 3/19/22 discussion with Will... Hard to run away from those words???

Agree 100%... The edgy side of the program has been an attempt to increase viewing audience. But it really has not helped. In an odd way, this blow up may actually increase viewers next year, as folks wait for the next brawl. Years ago the emphasis was on a host, like Billy Crystal, having the ability to perform song parodies and skits. I'm a fan of watching great actors and actresses transform themselves in a movie role. The need to have their award night become a comedy central show has always puzzled me.

For Burlington, average of my total and town DPW measurements at ~1,100 feet is 48"... Considerably less on the Farmington River side of town where elevation is only ~200 to 300 ft at most.

This could and should allow the Oscars to move back toward an awards show focused talent and talent alone. Over the past decade or two they have turned their awards night into a Hollywood Roast night. They have gone looking for hard hitting, nasty and often crude emcees. They are there to celebrate talent, nothing more.

It's your comment about warm front making it into northeast Mass?
