Anyone notice their Davis gauge underreports during heavy rain? 

 

I had 2.71" in my cocorahs gauge but only 2.48" in my Davis gauge. Most events up until this the numbers between the 2 have been spot on but this was our first really heavy rain event with huge rates.

I always check the other stations online on Wunderground in Tolland to see how close mine matches up with theirs. Usually we are all close but sometimes there's big diffs

 

What's crazy is the gradient... some places only a couple miles south in Newington only had an inch of rain!

Usually my Davis Vantage Vue over reports in heavy rain when comparing it to other stations...its pretty close though...

Looking out my windows to the west. What I do not understand is what would cause clouds to be flying out of what appears to be the NW. Isn't that very much against the wind direction?

i noticed the same thing yesterday, and had the same thought. it was kind of strange to me

Not when it happens after the frontal passage.

We will heat up later this week, but for those who say we never get double digit departures anymore, ORH has had 3 this month.

Someone on my facebook just linked me to this. Read about it before. May 22nd was the anniversary of one of the worst weather fueled fires in Boston's history and it was in Dorchester.

 

Absolutely insane pictures, I'm sure you will recognize the area.

Chilly but last glory day for the frigid franks?

Euro is damn hot beginning Thursday. 2m 90s for the W flow downslope locales and Sun is probably near 90F too. I doubt we're done with below normal cooldowns, but they may become fewer and farther between.

wow only 15 mins from first alarm to all hands on deck, fast fire spread, must have been a very dry period.

Gusty SW winds.. dry and warm too. An example of a worst case scenario. Wood triple deckers packed next to each other, ugly. Like you said 1 to 5 alarms in 15 is ugly. 5 alarm is the equivalent to the modern day 9 alarm.

Drought fail.

 

Water is no longer an issue where I live...5-10" of rainfall for the communities around Mount Mansfield (heaviest on the west slope and adjacent eastern suburbs of BTV). 

 

Stowe VIllage CoCoRAHS has come in with 5.19" in the past 6 days on the east side of the mountain...but the west side of the mountain in Jerhico and Underhill have picked up 7-10" of rain in the last 6 days.

 

And with NW flow finally showing up today, steadier upslope precipitation has redeveloped over these areas that don't need any more rainfall.
