Yeah good call, it was downwind of the storm.  I figured the dry low levels to start must’ve been eating up the liquid drops while the hail could make it to the surface.

Still, not something I can remember seeing before.  Just scattered hail stones falling as the leading edge… usually hail only comes in the core around these parts. 

Hail falling w/o any rain is quite rare in New England, and the East Coast for that matter, owning to the more moist climate and lack of an EML the vast majority of the time.

They had 50’s. The point is you take the model output and change it based on what should happen. Like when they had 50’s last week.. you knew that was wrong looking at the pattern and ensembles and could see big warmth was coming . It’s not just taking an op run temps and thinking that’s what the outcome will be . Or for one poster who uses an app for his forecasts and thinks it’s correct

there's no big warmth coming  if 2 days of 80s is big warmth in June then I don't know what to tell you..
