wxmanmitch Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 A nice cool, breezy night out there thanks to that front door cold front. We don't do back door cold fronts well here, but salvation has arrived from the NW. No AC needed tonight. Unfortunately barely any rain here. The grass is starting to burn already.

Ryan was saying on air last night this is our driest stretch here in CT in 14 years..Friday nite isn't looking very promising.

CT Rain Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 And then there was last year with almost no rain in the middle of the summer for two months. Please. lol Kevin is taking things to the extreme???? I can't believe it. The "dry streak" record is sort of pointless anyway - since 0.01" can snap a streak. We're using it on air just as a curiosity but it doesn't exactly tell you much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Good ole Pete B. Not that I would have a foghorn for the whole weekend, but I feel like this is a little too positive. Obviously things can change...but this looks optimistic for Boston area. 7day_wide_629x354.jpg This station is a fukking joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll whine now, and then get nailed with a few storms while they die as they head east. Man, he just pouts when things don't go his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of that misses us to the south Depends where you are. I have daily records back to 2000 and have set no "dry" records yet during this current period, none. 60 day precipitation is more representative of a drought to me and currently the 60 day precip is 5.41" which isn't even in the ballpark for May's lowest in 15 years. I might set a new 30 day record low for precip if we get next to nothing for another 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well your area got quite a bit more than most of the state did in that coastal back on the 21st. if I recall your area had 2.5-3.0 inches while most of the state had closer to an 1-1.5.. Either way..this is unusual considering the time of year and typical wettest month and all empirical long term guidance doesn't offer a whole lot of hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 What's the deal with white pines this year? They spewed their clouds of pollen yesterday in the wind-blast ahead of the rain. It's almost a full month earlier than usual... it's always been sometime during the week before bike week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Right, that was literally my block..lol. My point is, relax..it could be a lot worse. Well all I'm saying is it's very odd to have it this dry this time of year..and the overall pattern doesn't look wet at all thru the end of the month. The % of normal precip thru end of month is well below.. Someone saying .25 is a drought buster is either trolling or doesn't understand how we are entering convective/hot season..and that these things tend to feedback. To see critical fire wx in place with everything fully foliated and leafed out..that seems to me to be a pretty rare occurrence for SNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 If anything the weekend trended wetter. Maybe not 4" of rain, but looks like some showers will be around as a WF tries to push in. Not only that, the longer term pattern is mostly heat fail with the chances of rain moving in at times with fronts moving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
