  1. Was on Marconi beach and blow off from the anvil was clearly visible to the north. Climbed up the dune and the thing was huge.
  2. .25" bringing the monthly total to .8". Hopefully we can catch a cell or two tomorrow.
  3. Not turning my nose up at this rain by any means but it's quite a bit lighter down low than it might appear on radar aloft.
  4. The Quabbin spillway is still flowing, but maybe only for a few more days. Hence the light blue dot in the streamflow conditions map above, surrounded by dark red and red dots as local streams are way, way down.
  5. new mattress/pillow, heavy shades, fan/AC > drugs
  6. Not sure if you saw that rogue tower that went up over Granby yesterday... didn't move an inch.
  7. Was driving S earlier on 128 through Belmont, Lexington into Waltham and down to the Pike in a deluge. Left 2.5 lanes had to merge all the way right at one point with about a foot of water on the road. Every underpass had cars and/or motorcycles stopped underneath.
  8. 63MPH gust at DFW. First notable mesoscale system in seemingly weeks for the metroplex
  9. 43 here but the breeze didn't completely slacken.
  10. picked up a much appreciated 1/2" at UMass
  11. Also just got Shifts mounted on Icelantic natural 111s and a pair of Scarpa Maestrale XTs. And have yet to use em (thanks covid!)
  12. Treehouse probably getting some big gusts
  13. Maybe just post it... Then delete afterward?
  14. BTW Happy 10th anniversary of one of our all time severe wx fails.
  15. Sounds like we're getting an upgrade to slight risk. KOD?
  16. 34 at CEF ties a record from 1967.
  17. 18z 3km is a little more vigorous with the line tonight. Keeps it going even as surface based instability wanes.
  18. At UMass, 1.9". Of that 1.15" fell on 5/1. And another .4" in about 15 minutes on 5/15 with the line of thunderstorms, some of which runs off when falling so fast. Only .1" in the last 2 weeks.
  19. Semi agree. Seemingly not a year goes by when the local paper isn't quoting a farmer blaming climate change for whatever the most recent conditions are, as though the 'right mix' year you describe used to be the norm. But the fact is that it's been one of the driest Mays on record, with a quite a bit of sun and low dews (save the last few days) and more en route. So they'll be hurting and the fact it isn't a threat to the public water supply in metro boston is irrelevant.
  20. Drought affects farmers on short time scales, and they struggle to make ends meet year to year. Too wet, too dry, etc. Granted, they signed up for it to a certain extent in the fickle weather of SNE. But it is a big deal out here, particularly this year. The cities probably don't care.
  21. Even this far west seems borderline. I don't even care if a line rapidly weakens with loss of daytime heating, if it can just push through enough to give us a drink. Or maybe we can get lucky with a quick hit convective shower as the HRRR sort of puts in play.
  22. Just a gut feeling but it's a little early for fronts to be hanging up and training I think, especially with this bully airmass that'll be dropping in. I think it'll push through a little faster than progged with an attendant wind threat. If it does stay back we'd at least have a shot at something discrete popping out ahead during the afternoon, which we always say... For whatever it's worth.
