Ju-ply 2026 Obs and Disco - Kicking it off with heat, humidity, and ... severe?

[Damage In Tolland]

Another warning for here that at worst will drop light rain . That makes 3 in the last 4 days 

[Snowedin]

Ah yes, the classic pre-summer downpour wind drop off+subsequent jump in humidity. It never fails!

Can’t believe how bright it was. Still trying to figure if it’s from the Hartford stuff or Litchfield stuff. Anyways was enough to get people to start working inside

We need some water here in SNH.   But you can keep that. 

[CT Valley Snowman]

I'm not close to home but I was pretty confident today would probably fail in far NCT outside of perhaps some light rain.

That looks like a Tor near Torrington . That should be warned

My pops lives in New Milford. Brookfield is a Mecca for big wind damage 

[WinterSnow]

Wow, haven't seen hail that large in years, and I mean I'm including back to when I lived in OK. This was quite frightening the sound it was making hitting the roof and windows.

[weatherwiz]

Holy shit 2” hail confirmed

[powderfreak]

There’s 65-70 DBZ scanned south of New Britain.  That’s intense.  OKX radar sampling that at 3,800ft elevation it looks like.

Hail threat was observed, I updated it to include up to 2 inch hail possible.

We've had golf balls so far, but MRMS was estimated between 2.25 and 2.75 inches.
