Tropopause_Fold Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 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. yeah it's still early...there's some more stuff out in NY/PA too. maybe that expands and moves east. tell ya what though this is another good case of using caution with model guidance. i was looking back last night at some of the SLP placements/strengths over the last few days for today. HORRIBLE. granted it's the GGEM, but i think the 8/4 run had it at 994 over CC by tomorrow AM. and nearly everything had general 998-1002 through the northeast. lowest i can find right now is like 1004.9 up near lake huron.

Yeah funny how they all did that. I suppose they are still prone to a little convective feedback at times. It's difficult to get a sub 1000mb low in the summer, unless accompanied by a pretty strong trough, and we don't have that. Red flag right there.

ski MRG Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Several peaks of sun out here in GC to dryp up the .18" of rain. 67.2/66 72/70, actually kind of sunny here presently, quite humid. I think we got a bit more rain than you but I haven't checked yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we got a bit more rain than you but I haven't checked yet. 74.4/72 under sunny--and mostly blue--sky. A much nicer day than had been forecast, though I could do without the heat and humidity.

Yes, I'm thinking this sun may cook up some t-storm action for us later. I've been doing some work outside in the sun and it is pretty gross. My wife like this weather so at least she can enjoy it.

Just checked, picked up .40" of rain last night through this AM. Less than I though as it really rained hard for a time but that period was book ended by -rn.

Not quite 1/3rd of an inch here so far but some decent stuff to the west still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purposely didn't water stuff yesterday. A little worried this morning, but this last batch should do it. Maybe a little delayed, but not deniied I guess.

Tropopause_Fold Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 You know what sucks about this combo of temps and dews? You have to set your a/c really cold in order to run and start removing moisture...the house isn't overly warm (like 76) but the humidity is bad. Better when it's 85 out side and you can set the thermostat @ 77or 78 and just remove the moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems folks in n ma and s nh are getting shafted so far. SnowNH and the NMM FTL? Some of those models were way too far north. SPC WRF too. Anyways I like these types of rains. I'm sure the heavier stuff is putting down larger drops, but these are those medium sized white out type rains, when they come down heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can get a tropical system up here...or develop a tap at some point. Those rains in Earl last year were like that...just sheets and sheets of soaking rain.
