Heaviest rain this month here was at like 630 this morning. Deluge
Flying out to Tahoe now. As the plane lifted above the clouds into the sun I expected to hear high pitched angelic singing. But yeah hopefully we don't get a different kind of OVC out there.
This. Zero heatwave. A couple of those days were rainy and hovering in the 60s before a brief spike to mid 80s and then more rain. The high+low/2 method is a dramatic overestimate of the integrated average this month.
somewhat underwhelmed by rates here based on the nexrad reflectivity appearance. I should probably start calculating KDP on the UMass radar as is the case in TX.
we're pretty far away, but can confirm a mesocyclone look to it down there.
unrelated but the wind sig that was along and north of the pike has weakened quite a lot
seeing some low end *possibly* severe winds descending the east slope just n of rt 9. The lack of u/l dynamics are evident in the relative unorganized nature of the cells. But there is certainly a threat of branches down here and there.
To be fair today may well tie the monthly low high temp at Boston and 3rd place at ORH, so it's not like this happens often. Summer in New England is basically gold. 4/1-5/15 or 10/15-12/1 are the trying times IMO
I've been chased off the beach down south several times by incoming tropical waves. Certainly no lock of good wx down there, particularly 2nd half of summer. Folks might consider San Diego in Aug/Sept if weather is a primary concern.
there are a fair number of damage reports coming through Erving and Orange where the TOR warned cell passed. Little supercell out ahead of the main line it would appear. We did not observe strong low level rotation, but we did observe rotation aloft.
