CoastalWx Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Even up here..just a couple showers. Thnk we may have dodged a bullet for round 1 Yeah hopefully it brightens up there a bit today. Not sure with this type of flow, but no washout up there today. Heaviest rain down here is CT/RI/se mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaviest rain down here is CT/RI/se mass. Yesterday we hit Storyland for 3 hours from 3-6. Pretty nice day with some big towers around and heard some thunder to the north. I can't believe how dry it's been here. All the rivers are almost dry..and everything is brown and burned. Usually it's lush and green. The inn keeper said it's the driest they can ever recall.

I noticed the Saco was real low too, back in July 1, but it wasn't really dry yet. You're right...usually up there they get the summertime rain and tstms that we can miss out here, so it's usually pretty green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to call them today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Forecast was for 1-2" of rain overnight. Actual in the bucket: .18". I'll take that bust in August vs. Nov-March any time. 65.0/64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt think it was that dry...but we were on the western side of the whites so maybe they've done better over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 68/68, got a good dose of rain overnight. Even at 8:30AM it's just sweltering, what a brutal August it's been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty brutal for where you are at 8:30 AM. 77/72 here in the swamps of Jersey. Feels like a 'cane/TS-type air mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Lars, it's not bad at all, a little humid for my liking but as long as temps stay cool it really has little impact. Are you on your way back to NE or on the way out?

You guys treat yourselves like veal hanging out in your little air conditioned boxes. How will you survive when the revolution comes and there isn't any power for a/c?

I probably could have put a fan in the window last night, but I just flipped the a/c on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Meh in the rain dept for many so far. Yeah, I was actually hoping for a good soaking. Things are dry around here. Got less than .25" so far. Gross morning. Insects and humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just happy it looks like we make it to the 1/2 way point in August without any hot weather. I for one am looking forward to crisp Autumn air masses.

CoastalWx Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 qpf bombs ftl. maybe some storms around tomorrow? Yeah good thing we were suspecting those. I never quite understood how they were generating 2-4" of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowNH Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Yeah good thing we were suspecting those. I never quite understood how they were generating 2-4" of rain. We still had a shot a good rains today, some models have heavy rain for afternoon timeframe.. maybe some heavy thunderstorms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Yeah good thing we were suspecting those. I never quite understood how they were generating 2-4" of rain. Actually, I should correct myself. Parts of CT will have over 2", mainly eastern and srn CT. Just more of a case of the haves vs. have nots, but that's how it goes with these summertime type systems.

Are you on your way back to NE or on the way out? I got as close to SNE as the extreme NW Mid Atlantic, i.e., SW CT yesterday. It got up to 85/69, 75 at the start and finish, as we loaded up the contents of moderate-sized house. With no A/C in sight, I'd give it about a 7/10 on the brutality scale, as I don't recall actually dripping sweat off my face on to my clipboard while I was doing inventory.

CoastalWx Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Also a case of why radar can underestimate these types of rains known as warm process type rains. These are very efficient rain producers where a deep layer of the cloud is above freezing. You don't have big updrafts carrying water vapor in the form of anvil ice crystals away from the cloud. Most of the moisture is used up in the form of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agreed big time. Even taking that into account, I thought parts of the area would see a little mroe so far, but we'll see how the day goes.
