52° with RW+ at 230pm.

What a way to run the last weekend in May. 

You're the one who asked for it.

Virga plume ahead of the upper low w/ embedded convective elements.  A little odd for an upper low dropping from the N.

Nice spiral in Quebec w/ decent tstms.  Maybe Scott can get some rumblers in Ossipee!?!

More lightning north of Sherbrooke this afternoon than I’ll see all summer

Sounds like a CoastalWx attitude!

Beautiful morning but the clouds have found their way here.

Not all virga. Just had a brief shower pass through down here in SE CT. I'm sure NE CT and RI are gettin' wet right now.

Guess I didn’t need to stop doing yard work. Meteorological pit.

Yes, I mentioned "embedded convective elements."

Nashua actually can be a great area for tstms.  In the very active year and hot summer of 1988, Nashua had 15 thunder days in July, and 43 total for the year.  Those are numbers near the absolute max, at least for southern NH into central/ern MA!
