On a random note, I wonder if those random bolts of lightning in that shield of light rain last night were positive strikes? They were 10-20 miles away, but good lord were they deep with an exceptionally long rumble-length. Inversions can do funky things with thunder too.

wxeyeNH Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 For a change I have done pretty well the past 2 days. Got 1" Friday eve. Yesterday with lots of stops and starts added another .82". eek, I noticed those very long rumbles last evening. One of them was so long that I was thinking that I have never heard thunder last that long in my life. Temps stayed in the low to mid 60's all day yesterday. Felt great. Dew up to 74F this AM. I guess one more shot of convection today and then the midweek system. Hope more areas are covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 The Sanbornton RWIS just had an 80F dew...Ashland RWIS 84F dew (lol)...Bear Brook RAWS 77F. My Davis is at a pretty steady 81/76 right now. The METAR sites are LM70s. It's pretty swampy out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 1.27" since Friday dawn, though only 0.03" since 9 last night. Have not heard a rumble nor seen a flash, though there was some thunder in the Friday morning downpour at home while I was at work. Yesterday's 63/55 wasn't conducive for much convection. Mostly cloudy and soupy, about 80, not much yet on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Looks like back home had dews in the 64-68F range most of the afternoon. Not bad. That'd feel like Arizona dry compared to the hottest air mass all-time down here in CT. From what I can see the past 3 days the max dew up at home was 73F.

wxeyeNH Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 74/61 very comfortable day. Have been under fairly thick cirrus all day keeping me nice and cool. Looks like low pressure will be moving along the International boarder tomorrow. Keeps heavy rain shield north of much of our area. SPC has a large slight risk area to the SW of us. Wonder if with enough heating if there will be severe convection in at least Central New England. Would rather have the rain shield further south instead of the more scattered nature of qpf. I ended up with 1.82" from past event. Neighbors dug well did not come up at all even with so much rain in my immediate neighborhood. It is amazing that how fast the grass has greened up just 48 hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Just now, eekuasepinniW said: Storms south. Rain north. Sounds about right. Yeah, sounds right. The good rain will be too far north but we will be stuck in clouds while SNE breaks out and gets the good convection. Will be interesting to watch. In other news was just reading the general tropical discussion on the boards and I guess some of the models are showing more Atlantic activity coming up. The US has been so lucky for many years now without a huge hit. (Well discounting the hybrid Sandy storm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 5pm rain is now tapering down and it looks like the warm front rain band is about through .22". Will be interesting to see if more showers/storms form in the warm sector. HRRR simulated radar shows more rain chances for till after midnight. Not much upstream right now.

powderfreak Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Here's some rain moving through. Not going to be excessive, but probably in the end most of us in the northern tier are looking at 0.3-1.0" of what seems more like synoptic high pwat rain rather than convective stuff. Southern Quebec has at least anecdotally has seemed to be quite active in the precip department, even going back to snow last winter...they were commonly the jackpotters of most systems in the second half of the winter. We'd get the WAA wet snows on the front-end warm front and they'd get the commahead. They've been doing well this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
