powderfreak Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 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. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 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. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdxken Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 "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."

dendrite Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 It’s pretty cool seeing those “waves” on the northern fringe as the dry air interacts with the stretching deformation. Meanwhile the southerly firehose keeps crashing into it. A steady dumping of rain all night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Euro has a coastal Friday into Saturday with inches more. Hopefully it’s wrong. Either way, starting Mothers Day looks like a nice run of 70’s and 80’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some spots near in inch down by marshfield. Yeah models kind have already busted positive a little for eastern areas. Radar looks active for most off the morning too. Subsidence has taken on a more north/south rather than east/west orientation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Bar and Modern Archie Moore's has the best wings in New Haven as well. Please don't go to Wingstop. Also, long wharf across from IKEA has dozens of really good food trucks along the water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
