powderfreak Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Powderfreak: Look how closely this dovetails with Floyd in 1999 http://www.famousint...m/i-hear-irene/ Scary. I have many friends in the Keene Valley and they have heard from rangers that ranger wx stations in the high peaks - like at lake colden for example- picked up over 10 inches of water. It's not certified by NWS but I believe it. There was A TON of water that funneled up into those east facing slopes and valleys. FYI - tons of new slides came down. Tons. Nothing we've ever seen before. Yeah if you look at the Floyd precipitation map its almost identical across VT in terms of minimums and maximums. Pretty classic climo precipitation pattern based on topography. Minimums in the Champlain Valley, Lamoille Valley (Morrisville, Eden, etc), and CT River Valley (particularly the upper valley) with maximums on the Spine, Worcesters, Orange Heights, and Presidentials. The track is pretty much identical between the two... that's history repeating itself right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 WCAX just reported an estimated 4 inches of rain this afternoon in the vicinity of the junction of Rt. 4 and Rt. 100 in Killington. That's the last thing those folks need right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Today was a decent day to take a jaunt to the summit of Mansfield... not beautiful but no weather to make you turn around before the summit push. Luckily the ceiling got no lower than 4,500ft-ish so the summit never fogged in. Definitely could notice an increase in humidity as the haze pushed north all day long... probably the most humid weather we've seen in a while with dews in the low to mid 60s in the valleys. The high-point along Mansfield's ridge...aka "The Chin" Looking towards the southern end of Mansfield (WCAX towers) and the Green Mountain Spine. Looking down at the base of the ski area, nearly 3,000 vertical feet below (4,395ft to 1,500ft). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Nice work! That's an awesome map... really diggin' that Allenson. You going to be throwing those up after snowfall events this winter ? Ha-ha, maybe for the big ones. Thanks though. It was a fun little project. As for Floyd--he went south and east of Irene's track once over New England. We certainly had much stronger winds with Floyd around here than Irene produced. But yes, rainfall was similar from what I remember. Good news, Jayhawk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I'll take "Things Vermonters do not want to read" for $100, Alec. http://forecast.weat...1&highlight=off Yeah... BTV's all over it. If a decent portion of a drainage basin picks up 4" of rainfall (even in 48 hours), there's going to be some major problems. I don't think anything under 2" could really cause much problems (except be a b*tch for putting in temporary bridges across the state), but once you get to 3-4" that'll make some big numbers in the past week. AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLS OVER THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. PRONOUNCED SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE AREA WILL TAP INTO GULF COAST MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM LEE...SETTING THE STAGE FOR A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATION ACROSS AREAS OF THE NORTH COUNTRY RECENTLY RAVAGED BY FLOODING FROM TROPICAL STORM IRENE. STEADY RAIN WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...AND CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE. THIS COULD HAVE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON RELIEF AND RECOVERY EFFORTS ONGOING ACROSS THE AREA AND IS DEFINITELY A SITUATION TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO.

MaineJayhawk Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 85 with a dewpoint of 72 FTW 84/69 here. Just got done with 7 hours in my kayak. Started out cloudy and cool with a few rumbles of not-too-distant thunder when I was pretty fah from the cah but thankfully the boomer headed away from me and my lil boat. Sun came out afterwards and it was torch city. Nice day to be on the lake as there will be very few opportunities left this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 This is a full-on torch for late August in my mind... averages are now down in the low-ish 70s with overnight lows down near 50F. Last night's low was 62F and today's high was 82F. That's a solid +10F on the daily departure. Its currently 79/70 which feels like a sauna/steam bath.... I can't wait for these 70F dews to disappear for the season. This smells like more heavy rainfall and maybe some severe storms tomorrow with this moist airmass in place. Even the icebox of SLK is 80/67 at almost 1,700ft. Warm, no denying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drew13btv Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Was at the fair in Essex Junction this morning. They were making a huge deal about the incoming line of thunderstorms (as they probably should..) only to have (of course) the line break up as soon as it crossed the lake. They were talking up the 60 mph winds but there was never even a gust. Just a little rain. The storm sure died quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Just got done watching the last fireworks show of the season at the Weirs. Started early because the rain. The fireworks had quite the backdrop-- tons of in-cloud and orange cloud to ground lightning wayyy north over the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
