And moist adiabatic lapse rates to 550 mb...EEECH!!

So I did a little easy "experiment."  Using CoCoRaHS sites, I got Y-T-D totals for the 3 sites closest to Logan.  Chelsea, Somerville, and Nahant.

Chelsea - 15.26"
Somerville - 12.72"
Nahant - 12.55"

And BOS? 10.79"

Again, taking climate information at face value has its issues.  The excuse here?  "Oh, we have to use it b/c it is official!"  So?  Just b/c it is official does not mean it is correct/right.  That's the appeal to authority logical fallacy.  Equipment/standards/practices are not perfect, so calling such out is not wrong.

 

This ^.

SPC DY6 has SVR outlooked OH Valley-DCA-NYC?  Time for WxWiz to starting getting ready.  He been waiting for something like this for so long!  And CoastalWx can stop saying "SNE SUCKS for convection!" LOL.

From pattern recognition, I am very impressed, and it takes a *lot* to impress me for svr these days. An unusually strong sfc low for mid June is fcst (below 990 mb) to track across southern Ontario and Quebec. 00z GFS and ECMWF same idea on 6/18  for wind fields -- GFS a bit stronger than the ECMWF, but does not matter, they are still through the roof for this time of year.  GFS 120 kt 250, 95 kt 500, 75 kt 700, 65 kt 850 and 925 in New England this time of year w/ available CAPE this time of year?  Ho-ly (   )!!!  Actually, w/ these kind of wind fields, you don't need more than say 2000-2500 CAPE for sigtor.

Anywhere from the OH Valley-Mid Atlantic-Northeast may be in for a sig tor event!   I don't have to quote the big tor outbreak for our region, but just mention July 10, 1989, and WxWiz will faint! 

FYI, winds of 65 kt at 850 existed for the ORH 1953 event.  For the July 10. 1989 event, the sfc low that tracked across NNE was "only" 998 mb.

Not overstating things here for potential at all.  But of course, it's all in the details.  *But* again, SPC outlooking SVR this part of the country on DY6 this time of year?  That says something!  You don't get that w/o a synoptically-evident set up.

Closest Cocorahs station to my location showing on 2.15” of rain since May 1st. Arid.

The Hamden F4 is my earliest memory. We’re due!

Let’s tear as much down as possible!

[CoastalWx]

Who cares 

[CoastalWx]

Glad we could break 94/75 with no rain. God does SNE suck. 

[weatherwiz]

It’s hard to get overly excited for organized severe weather or a higher end severe potential without any signals of an EML. But if we can get dews into the 70’s with strong shear and height falls we can get swaths of wind damage 

[HoarfrostHubb]

I think this might be one of those summers where August could rock as far as thunderstorms.  Like one of those early 1990s ones.  
 

63 for the low.  Up to 71 now

[tamarack]

Two TS last evening totaling 0.88".  First one (7-8 PM) began with a few giant drops - sounded like hail hitting the car - then 0.10" in 2 minutes followed by less intense rain.  2nd one came 10:30-11 PM and added 0.33".

Shannon Hoon pattern down there

At least your grass is more alive than he is

Trees are at their peak. All downhill from here. Pollen just about past. Pollen cones dropping like crazy from the pine trees. Full out hickory.

Amen on pollen!

100% GSD day. More of the same tomorrow. 

[Modfan2]

Up to 86F, slightly humid. A trace is of rain so far this week so lawn is pretty crispy 

[bristolri_wx]

There’s a coastal flood statement posted in my area… Astronomical high tides? The statement doesn’t mention the potential cause.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Surprised there’s no red flag warnings in Franklin County with this breeze.

it is dry and crunchy.

Yes new moon tomorrow.

But that peak June sun feels much warmer to me.  I would’ve guessed mid-80s working outside.
