Well you're in luck. Of course the RRFS is worse with convection.

I have to say...the little time I've started using the RRFS it doesn't seem any better. Not sure how accurate it is but it seems they struggle with convection in these very high PWAT/dewpoint airmasses.

The FV3 core is poor with convection, so they are moving to the MPAS core, but that's going to take some time testing too. It's not strictly a convective model, it's supposed to be short term (60 hr) hi-res guidance to replace the NAM and HRRR at the same time. So it has to handle synoptics well too.

Couple of trees down in Waterbury 

saw that popup on Radarscope...looks like very close to downtown maybe even the mall area? Wouldn't have wanted to be on that stretch of 84 when those cells were moving through. I'd be shocked if there isn't an accident on the highway there

Got that right

Gotta love dews spiking well into the 70's. 

Given how easy we seem to get dews like this now I wonder if we can ever time an EML/front with dews like this. I've always been skeptical of whether we would ever see a high risk within the Northeast again but that would probably do the trick. 

I think we've talked about this.... with the new criteria for high risk, I don't think it is actually possible for New England to have one. Perhaps a perfectly timed approaching derecho?

Yeah the only way we'd ever probably see one is with a full fledged derecho, but then again, how often do we ever see SPC go high risk for damaging winds alone? I can't even remember the last time there was a 60% hatched wind area by the SPC lol.
