And it would make sense that the balloon didn't go very far since that's about where the upper low is. We have GPS to track the balloons, and originally the plan was to track them to the ground to recover, but it's not very cost effective to send someone out hunting for a radiosonde that could be up in a tree, etc. So the GPS is used to calculate wind speed/direction instead. I found a balloon back in 08 from OKX on my work roof right outside my office, saw it out the window and said no way, what are the odds of a weather geek finding a wx balloon, outside his work window. astronomical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 1.4" since last night. Has the wet spring contributed to the number of ants? They are prolific this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Dumped 1.22" at 7 AM with moderate RA, month at 4.35. After 7 consec. months with BN precip, now 6 of 8 AN with the other 2 less than 10% below avg. None of the recent AN months were more than 1.7" wetter than avg, so a slightly AN run with no deluge months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, total left field question, but did the NWS ever determine if a tornado came through your area in Irene?

CoastalWx Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Nice mid level synoptics to this thing with a rain jack from CT valley to nrn ORH county. Secondary area coastal Essex county. The mid levels really closed off and developed a nice area of heavy rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondary area coastal Essex county. The mid levels really closed off and developed a nice area of heavy rain. Just looking at radar and obs from this one...probably would've been quite the winter toaster bath in NVT lol. Southern VT with inches of rain though. Even the wrap around today would've been too far S/W. I've been down in S.Cali this week on the coast near Laguna. This is where weather weenies go to die though. Talk about boring. Holy crap. Perfect weather for outdoor stuff (70s/80s and partly sunny like all the time) except the immediate coast is like 10F colder. The AFD's are basically like..."the onshore flow is about 5kts stronger today so we'll cool temps another couple miles inland. Tomorrow flow is offshore so temps will be a few degrees warmer. We can't decide if we should call it partly sunny or partly cloudy so will analyze all 12z data and make a call this afternoon. Stay tuned for final call on sky cover."

Gets pretty neat when they start talking cloud line formation and the associated risks for waterspouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
