Damage In Tolland Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 . Furey's forecast was good. Most of Ct saw partly/ mostly sunny skies today . The visible proves that. The area where Joe did not do well was temps. He was too warm. Today's chill over performed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Looks to me like a cool snap early in the weekend turns around real sharply... Sunday already has 850 mb recovered over 10 C warmer compared to 12z Saturday... Pretty impressive 24 hour synoptic whiplash. Then it appears about a 50/50 shot at the season's first heat wave. May only be of the 92/68 variety, so not 'big heat' per se, but Wednesday and Thursday look slam dunks for that.. Tuesday's a wild card. Warm frontal junk/timing of arrival of deep layer continental barotropic air might muddle up the high t a bit. Anyway, this isn't a dragon breath Sonoran up and over heat; it's bulging SE ridge airing out Texarcana/Gulf air mixed with Tennessee Valley farts. Should that air mass make strides into SNE like current majority depicts, it's likely to be convincing higher DPs for change for being of that source/origin.

Mostly Sunny I believe is greater than 80 percent sunshine and there was too much cirrus for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yeah today was not mostly sunny. In fact it was impressively chilly with gusty winds and temperatures stuck in the 50s most places for a while this afternoon. Was several degrees cooler than I expected.

CoastalWx Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Too bad that little coastal low on Friday wasn't farther west. That's some cold air moving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Too bad that little coastal low on Friday wasn't farther west. That's some cold air moving in. Could produce snow like Mem Day 2013 if the low were further west...850s -4C to -8C in New England Friday night/Saturday morning. Should see widespread low-mid 30s with some 20s.

OceanStWx Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I think you missed the point. Our environment can handle these swings (maybe not manicured lawns but they aren't natural), it's not overly uncommon to be up by 15" in a year and then go down by 15" in a year. Dude 2015 is the driest year on record for BDL, by like 17 inches. Of course there are over 225 days missing that haven't happened yet. I mean we're not talking the Plains where dry years can see less than 10" and the wettest seasons on record out there are solidly below average for CT (35ish inches versus 45ish).

Are you sure you meant 2015. I do not believe they are off by 17 inches. The map looks like 4 to at most 6 inches for the year.

Ginx snewx Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 congrats to all Population Affected by Drought: 24,754,687 The NortheastAside from a couple bursts of thundershowers in the Mid-Atlantic States, mostly dry weather again prevailed. Stream data from USGS indicated extremely low flows for this time of year from the northern Mid-Atlantic region into southern New England. Moderate drought (D1) was introduced in two areas—one stretching from parts of eastern Pennsylvania into New England, and the other covering much of northern New York. In many of the driest areas, spring precipitation has been scarce. From March 1 – May 19, precipitation totaled less than two-third of normal in locations such as Boston (5.64 inches, or 56% of normal), New York’s Central Park (7.12 inches, or 63%), and Providence (7.39 inches, or 65%).

Typhoon Tip Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't want to go on record saying it won't frost overnight Friday into the wee hours of Saturday morning, but will go on record saying that other than some very typical over-achieving geography enhanced cool locales ...the vast majority would surprise me. The reason why is that even in the best of circumstances, at this time of year, it is more difficult for a couple of reasons. 1) The nights are about as short as they are going to be ...now until early August 2) Perhaps more important than #1, the foliage/landscape is now evapotranspiring and dumping moisture into the atmosphere at night. As that evaporation takes place it is lifting heat and integrating it... this is a substantial offset for shorter duration nights. 3) Perhaps the most important reason of all, in situ this is a scenario where the winds stay elevated. I don't see it decoupling with much success given to the synoptic evolution of features. The high is too far SW and we maintain gradient... For me, adding all three of these factors up results in a pretty substantial off-set to radiational cooling, and I bet most place slam cooling shut right around 40 F ...chilly. Annoying. Out of place and unseasonal. But shy of crystals. Impressed by the warm/hot signal that continues to gather consistency and strength in the operational runs. The tele's are getting harder and harder to use, but the most correlative (the NAO) remains robustly positive, so given to favorable timing of events as they situated in space and time out over the Rockies ... any impetus to build eastern heights farther E has little inhibition in doing so given to that layout. Such is what we are seeing... I'd say 60/40 confidence in a heat wave of lower caliber. 850's of 17C with increasing DPs from late Monday through Thursday.
