There seems to be some moisture coming.

Should be beneficial rains at a time when the region can benefit from it, soak it up… during green up. The vegetation is thirsty when it becomes active again.

1.5” May total, so far,  in my area of Greenfield.

It’s been a steady moderate to heavy rain all night. There’s a squeeze play with the high in QB trying to sink southward and the southerly flow cranking up…so some decent fronto. Pretty much perfect deformation over us with the col right over my head.

And here’s how that looks like on radar.

You can read about meteorological features, but it’s fascinating to see it all play out in realtime. Do you think some of those high end QPF depictions the next few days have a chance of verifying? I lean toward the Euro being more right than not, though I think it’s running a little hot. It’s not alone though.

"Unsettled weather will continue much of this week with showers/isolated thunderstorms that will produce heavy rainfall at
times. Appears we may briefly dry out by Thursday, before more rain arrives Friday into Saturday. Depending on how much rain falls, we could see rises over bankfull on larger rivers and smaller streams across interior Southern New England."

Swell...
