joey2002 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Tolland can't plow snow or have an accurate wx station I guess. I have to trust Coventry. lol, the station on Leela Way is usually accurate, as are my temp reports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 The 3 p.m. obs will be telling. I'm willing to bet multiple stations in CT are still in the 50's for dews. IDK...here it feels like dews have at least gotten back to 60F...it's much more noticeably humid here. i went to get Chinese food like around 12:45 and it was not humid at all but the past half hour there is a very noticeable increase in humidity.

SouthCoastMA Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 It seems like most of the higher dews are in the southern parts of CT, RI, and SE MASS. 1:50 readings 81/65 in EWB 85/56 in BDL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthCoastMA Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 seems like most of northern CT and RI are in the 56-60 range. the higher readings are relegated to the south coasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll usually find that a lot in the summer. You can't mix down drier air near the south coast simply because the cooler ocean temps put a lid on that.

icebreaker5221 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 That cell near ALB really wants to rotate, but having trouble developing low-level rotation likely due to the lack of directional shear. Speed shear is definitely there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Interesting..does that apply to eastern coastal sections as well? Or is the drying in those areas aided by the wind trajectory in this instance? The wind direction is everything. The south coast can dry out on a NW wind, but on these WSW or SW flow days, they will usually stay pretty moist in the LLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wokeupthisam Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 could you use another term to describe the size? or give an estimation in inches? also the time it occurred please Fairly uniform fall of 3/8 to 1/2 inch hail, lasting about 1 min, followed by a couple mins of torrential rain.

CoastalWx Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Interesting..does that apply to eastern coastal sections as well? Or is the drying in those areas aided by the wind trajectory in this instance? In the summer you really don't see that over eastern areas because sw winds are basically off the land so you do mix a little. Watch the obs this summer. On days where we have W-SW winds and the lower levels aren't very humid..the south coast will always have higher dews when winds are from that direction. Mixing out dews only really occurs when the lower several thousand feet aren't very moist. Sometimes you have a shallow moist layer in the morning and then once the sun comes up..you begin to see the dewpoints drop somewhat. In the true tropical airmasses we can get, you won't see that.

Some of the worst conditions I've ever worked outside in were on the Cape in August when dewpoints are like 75..lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
