It ain’t clearing here till 2ish. But with the late sunset around 8 that will suffice.

The occluded mid level low has its deform band dragging through but the mid level flow is progressive enough to give this the boot.

Terrible, but the end is nigh

We got a narrow band of training heavy rains and embedded thunderstorms for like 3 hours before the shield blossomed to the east and the mesolow formed.  Then just kept raining in the pivot.  

If only... ah nvm

6z runs still insisting rapid improvement west to east after noon.  Looks like they time the last of spritzer sprinkles where you are, around 2 ... 11am western MA and CT.   But all guidance have RH slipping < 50% at all standard ceiling sigma levels everywhere by 21z, which means lots of sun penetration at this time of year - no question.  We're in the solar max, and 2pm the sun depth is actually still not far off its zenith.  And I've seen 10 F temp responses at 4pm breakouts before - not sure the atmospheric wick is set for that. But some response would happen should the sky uncover.

I've been surprised at this time of year, at just how fast recovery can happen in the past.  Doubting the models and ended not right for having done so.    You know the sun is that strong.   If this circulation begins to shallow out at all, it will penetrate rather quickly.     We'll see...

Few more hours and it’s back to summer . Warmish, increasingly dewy week on the way 

Yeah Dewey creeping in this week, BOX mentions it too. He'll be with us

GEFS and EPS ensembles indicating moderate
to high probs of highs in the 70s, and GEFS even showing some lower
probs of 80+ Thu and Fri, but this is low confidence given
uncertainty in extent of cloud cover and timing of any showers. A
persistent onshore flow will bring increasing humidity as dewpoints
eventually climb into the 60s.

I got my bedroom fan in the window.. it feels great! 

Easiest and cheapest way to cool down a home. I do the same quite often.

48° and Still effing raining. Closing in on 3/4 of an inch for the day. Best spring ever...

[CoastalWx]

We rain again, just in time for another soccer game.

Can’t buy this in winter, but no problemo in May

[#NoPoles]

Been 3-4 days stuck at 48 degrees. Completely murky with intervals of rain or heavier showers. 

Usually take the dog for walkies after work but haven't been able to. The dog is getting pissed. Maybe I can get him a walkie late this afternoon or evening?

There was that one year where he pulled a 180° from worrying about dry potted plants to fungal issues….can’t recall the year.

All worry all the time

Speaking of fungal. First I've seen this year. I guess it's an early species

[dryslot]

I'm thinking about planting rice.

I looked at an apartment in Bristol yesterday and it was a dump lol. Couldnt believe how congested it is on West St. Hope the place you're at doesn't suck.

Well, I don't want to say where in Bristol I live... Even revealing the city or even county I live in is not something I do much of anywhere else online, but I think I live in a decent area. My apartments aren't luxury apartments or anything, but I'm happy.

Sun !
