Truth is in the numbers my point is, that is more than plenty for the lawn and shrubs. Hell I had plants die from fungus. Why you’re obsessed with getting 20” of rain is beyond me. As someone who cares about their yard, it was definitely too much. You probably had ideal precip. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine it’s 1875 and you have no idea what’s happening around you. You just know it was a wet month with 7” of rain and your corn is growing great. That rain gives you hope that you’ll have enough food to survive the winter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Tomorrow might be the first time I’ve watered my hydrangeas (which are absolute water sponges) in God knows how long. That’s only because I’ll be away. They’ve been fine lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha in all seriousness, it does show how people’s opinion on weather is shaped so strongly not by their backyard, but by how their backyard stacks up to areas around them. If it was 20” this month but others got 35” the same statements would be happening. The amount seems irrelevant, just how does it compares is the important part. It’s like if Ray gets a 24” snowstorm but towns around him get 36-38”, the event f*cking sucked lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 59/57F Light to moderate rain. 2.15" today so far. Best thunderstorm day I have ever seen up here. Almost constant thunder since late morning in one direction or the other. Lost power for awhile but no wind. We did have a few minutes of pea size hail in one heavy cell.

ct_yankee Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 What a waste of decent ML lapse rates, you just don't see 7 or greater over CT very often in the summer. The few soundings I looked had a hint of an EML, which explains the LRs but it was completely wasted without any strong forcing and with mediocre dews, and shear wasn't great either... When oh when will Southern CT get another genuine severe day? Don't answer that, I'm well aware of expectations, the question was merely rhetorical.

It’s been a recurring theme this summer … quite often actually… Cloud ban sets up between 9 AM and 1 PM - just perfectly wrong really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 We had some downpours in SE MA. So instability was there. I think the action was north of warm front as I said yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The path of the stronger vorticity and best height falls looked more over N.NY/CNE/NNE and into Gulf of Maine? Maybe a bit better dynamics north of RT 2?

tunafish Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 0.90" and counting on the day. The rain has been relatively steady when falling with big efficient drops. Did spend a few minutes under 35-45dbz here and there to boost the total. Even had a strike 0.2mi away. Beneficial rain. Prior to today, only 0.73" since 7/18 - about 3 weeks. But even then my lawn wasn't "crispy". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STILL N OF PIKE Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 One thing I like about Tauntonblizzard, people will complain and complain about his negativity directly to him, but he never really seems to get the slightest bit of Angst or defensiveness , usually just humor or nothing 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
