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!?!

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.

Yes, I mentioned "embedded convective elements."

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

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/eastern MA!

Is it May 31 or March 31? this weather sucks ass. I saw the sun for about 3 minutes today, but was able to get the yard work done. Finished up just as it started raining

^ we did manage to get some outdoor stuff done for the first half of the day. Still a pretty tough weekend for the last week of May.

It’s chilly now with cloud cover and temps in the 50s and a slight breeze.

Looking forward to some warmth this week.

We had a gusty shower with a single rumble of thunder.  Trees were leaning a bit with heavy sheeting rain.   Temp 72 to 56 ... brrrr

Back up to 60... then another lighter shower and it's 58.   

Nice morning.  Lousy afternoon.   

still winter.

It's in the mid 70s as near by as Pennsylvania.    Looping the satellite and looking at various obs give the allusion to sawing off summer with this NW deep layer band saw.  Watching the sat loop you can just hear the whir of blade.   

anyway... looking at MEX 12z surprisingly warm this week around the KBDL-KFIT-KASH arc, within which I'm located...  78 Tues, then 80s or around 80 into next weekend...  Maybe there's an end to this coldest area relative to climo on the planet bullshit.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a shower start off with hail.

Ground not even wet, just started as ice (peas).

This happens a lot in the Plains w/ LP supercells as the hail is thrown downwind of the storm.  It also happens at times in the Desert SW when the tstm is all virga but the hail makes it to the ground!

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.
