I was getting nervous driving through Ridgefield...went through an area of narrow Roads with nothing but trees and power lines. Lots of ponding too. I wonder where in Ridgefield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there it is! Gotta love New England. Current radar is pretty much exactly what the HRRR was showing late last night, but then forgot about as of this morning.

KoalaBeer Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 SPC just dropped all areas of Slight Risk. Wondering if things are ever really going to get going. Radar isn't looking to great nor is the short term guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ma blizzard Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 could be some good storms NW of HFD to MHT line? HRRR and 4km NAM seems to focus activity across SE NY, W CT and W MA this afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good day for anything really interesting. helicity is a bit higher I think than what is being displayed. Diffuse boundary is enhancing some rotation within the storms (especially west) but there really isn't a whole much to cause any concern. Probably just enhance potential for strong gusts.

We get the warning and not one rumble of thunder so far. We are now raining at 4.00" per hour according to the davis. This after we had 0.94" yesterday....
