Wear your 4th of July get-up. Likely have the row to yourself. Have fun!

I think I would actually die with the heat/humidity  

It was starting to get uncomfortable in the sun Saturday, especially with cooking on the grill.

Yeah, that is why I find it more "interesting" in the summer.  Varying by over an inch of rain within 3 miles fascinates me.  I remember the one time where the park is for baseball thinking 100% my sons games would be rained out since it was a deluge at my house, only to not get the cancelled call and going to the field and the dirt was dry.  

We had that here yesterday-the part of town nearest to the sound had a half inch of rain-we had nothing just 2-3 miles north as a storm scraped the coast.

They are the hot spot about 99% of the time no matter what season, kind of like how NYC in summer is the cool spot.

That's the difference between the forest at Central Park and all the pavement at EWR. 
For the period 2000 to now, NYC has recorded 6 triple-digit days but only 3 that were 101+.  EWR has 34 triples peaking at 108 and with 21 days 101+.

We got a new pup a couple of weeks ago. We were warned she was afraid of fireworks, but not thunder. We haven’t had much thunder but so far neither has bothered her.  
 

 

What kind of pup? I got a rescue from Mississippi, sweet girl.

They called her a Lab/boxer mix.  
I’m thinking less than 5% of either.  Probably some pit bull and other assorted terrier.  She is really sweet and mellow though.  Very lovable.  Came from Tennessee. Supposedly the runt of her litter and the last one adopted. 
 

Wakes up too damn early though

My last dog was from there. They said my current pup was an Australian Shepard Collie mix, we had the DNA test done, she's a mix of 7 breeds none of the above. She's a sweetie and a quick learner, loves all dogs and people, we got lucky with her, just the type of dog I love.

Mine also wakes up too early, LOL.

Stein here. Those CC storms were common in the 80's and 90's, not sure what happened since.

Definitely..We were good for one or two episodes like last night every summer

yes, I feel like for the area they are both of the extremes.  Average them and it equals most of the other places in the area.

Our Lab mix, a rescue from TX who arrived on Feb 4, 2017, turned 10 yesterday.  Her build, toe webs, inner hair, form says nearly all yellow Lab, but the DNA results had about 1/8 Lab plus a number of quite different breeds, so I wouldn't put a lot of weight on the test.  "Retriever" didn't come with this super-sweet critter, and she doesn't like the water.  (Our black Lab of 2003-16 would be in the water, any time, any temp, any conditions.)
When our current friend first arrived, she had a habit of needing outside time about 3 AM, which could be a chore in Feb/Mar, but quickly changed for the better.  She was somewhat tolerant of thunder until March 26, 2021, when a bolt destroyed a large fir 55 yards from the house.  Now she's terrified by the least rumble.  
(That strike also wrecked the underground connection between our 13kw generator and its dedicated panel, making it no longer "on demand".  It also took out a wire between the DirecTV dish and our set.)

A lot of models really target CT from like BDR-HFD east into RI and ern MA tonight and tomorrow morning. Some love thrown towards SNH too.

[jbenedet]

Satellite and radar trends - Tonight’s rain looks like it will be first big over-performer here in a very long time.

 

good thing, could really use the rain…

Euro with a nice stripe right through the region. 

[Damage In Tolland]

We stripe

Although instability is less so might be more of a +RA threat with ocnl flashes vs last night.

[Damage In Tolland]

Hopefully there’s some solid electrical violence involved and not a boring 3-5” heavy rain event

Could be in the heavier cells....just a thought I had.

My last dog was terrified of water for whatever reason, if it rained, she would freak out and run inside. This dog not only likes it but will immerse herself into puddles. You just never know with a dog, especially a rescue.

Electric Blue is back open?

[Spanks45]

interesting how we had FFWatches yesterday, but nothing for tonight....Seems like there is at least an equal chance of flooding rains tonight into tomorrow as there was last night, maybe I am missing something?

[SouthCoastMA]

Look at those tstorm tops in RI get decapitated by the shear. Been kind've a meh day today with the clouds

Mesolow soaking on the NAM @CoastalWx? Seems like there’s legit FF potential tomorrow. Maybe more so than yesterday.

Suns out in E CT, raced from 77F to 87F

Just depends where that is, but you know how those warm seasons meso lows love to flood. I've noticed a gradual north push too. Decent s/w forcing.

I hope my flight out of BDL at 8:30 isn't delayed. Best part about flying that early is you can have a rum and coke and not feel bad about it
