Lots of moisture starting to back build. I hope we all have our rafts and dingy boats ready!

We got our largest soak of the month earlier today.   .23"   That puts me just over .50" for August.  I don't see much meaningful stuff on radar as everything quickly weakens as it goes in my direction.

All falling apart as it gets up here.

0.70” month to date here and 1/3 of that was to start the month.

A ton of coc coming post front .

Some of the heaviest rain I've seen in a few years. Maybe heaviest rain I've seen since I moved into this house in July 2022. 

2.5 inch+ per hour type stuff for atleast 20-30 min. That along with really dry ground led to some localized flooding.

 

Those purple echoes came right overhead

Oh no, it definitely isn’t pedantic.  I know “pedantic” posters but you certainly aren’t one… always respectful with measured views.  Always appreciate the nuances and your expert opinion.  Sometimes I just lean towards devils advocate comments, ha.

Thanks.  I do worry at times my posts (rants) go overboard. 

I like to delve into deeper issues within the profession, like how we calculate and measure it all.  Sometimes we can take that for granted, or get so deep into debate/discussion, we forget the basics or to take a step back and look at the big pix!  I also enjoy the social aspects of meteorology, as that explains a lot as to how we and the general public react and perceive things.  As I think I have said before, the fcst science is not really an issue/problem as much given all its advances, it is sorting it all out, interpreting it, and communicating it that is an immense challenge.  And social media, for all its positives has it share of negative.

I like forums like this -- "old SKEWL social media!"  Post can be short or long form, and stay specific w/ solid moderation and not be at the whims of large sosicl media company.

Might have some issues around here if we stay under this for a minute. Some low lying areas around here have some not so great drainage.

I live in the northernmost part of Taunton. It’s literally a little sliver surrounded by Raynham and Easton. Lived here almost a decade
