powderfreak Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 PYM county getting heavy rains for sure. This thing is wrapping up a bit. It had that look of fizzling near BOS earlier, but I may have underestimated the western end near 128. Hammer time on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 So what causes the secondary band that merges with the CCB comma head in these storms... the one that causes the radar to look like a hammer? Is it the meeting of the warm and cold conveyor bands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 that day still haunts me. I loved the pictures on route 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Maybe the 18z nam wasn't out to lunch I see box issued flood advisories for bristol and plymouth counties for 1 to 3 in of rain. Impressive. Currently pouring now. This is what the 18z NAM was showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Well tongue in cheek kind of statement, but I don't think we see anything meaningful. Maybe a tenth of an inch if that. Well maybe a little more here lol. Models did a good job ramping it up after 00Z. I thought maybe a little dry air and lack of a low level jet would not e enough to bring the good theta-e west, but it's doing a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I loved the pictures on route 6 that was a pretty classic day. i remember scooter texting me and telling me to lock my doors. he's actually a really nice guy though. just a bit challenging on the boards sometimes...as we all can be i guess.

New England Storm Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Got a nice rain falling, .17-of an inch with in the past hour. Others around the area getting up to 3/4th of an inch the lawns will be looking nice! This would be so cool in winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropopause_Fold Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 this is one of the events that ruins a climate log...like having the high temp be at 12:01am. up until sunday's rain...most of this area had recorded less than .75" of rain on the month. (CHH was under .4"). i'm at exactly 1" on this event and now sitting at 2.49". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the meeting of the warm and cold conveyor bands? You mean the north-south band? That's actually a little deformation area. That spread to the north towards PSM is a result of frontogenesis sort of squeezing out the moisture in the air. That arc moving north is sort of the WCB and then the moisture gets wrung out and deformed over ern MA into a n-s band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 You were on the fence (no pun intended). It looked ugly yesterday. BOS was on the fence. 10 miles west and it's barely wetting the pavement past 128. I thought maybe this morning and early aftn...it may just graze the city, but a few miles means everything. This storm is wrapping up a bit which helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly didn't expect the northern extent of this. I though my area would get the outer band and the outer cape would be in the jackpot. Nice refresher system.

Nice refresher system. I didn't by the HRRR which was way east. Had today off luckily so didn't have to deal with this PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 very light rain now...1.01"...maybe tack on a couple more hundredths but that's about all she wrote here. did gust to 23 mph...nothing special but was kind of squally as the heaviest rains came through.

TalcottWx Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Wish I had opened my mouth earlier. I was thinking western most extent of rain shield weymouth and highest totals west of the canal.
