Very impressive damage summary from BOX from Springfield and adjacent areas!

[CT Valley Snowman]

Man, looking at damage reports, parts of Springfield metro got hit hard. Uneventful day for most but certainly not for all.

Aside from 100sq miles in CT, he’s been around just waiting to pounce from behind the trees.

You could make a case that it’s dry thru the next 10 days. Maybe a shower Thursday

Blue hill which we know how pristine their records are,  show you how warm we have been.  Another AN summer is locked despite a strong Nino. That’s just what we do now. We embrace CC.

He’s here for awhile. The summer of no storms continues. But I’ll take the sun.

I was thinking about the exact precision I have missed storms this summer. Every direction , every surrounding town really. Union area up to Sturbridge multiple times, S and SE of here . Ginx to Se CT. Hartford got crushed Friday night, BDL all summer , all of western and SW CT and Springfield last night. And now Stein drops the Roman helmet to suffocate

I thought yesterday pretty much performed as expected.  Slight risk over central and western areas where there were some warned cells and a few towns got hit hard while most of us did not.  It's just not easy to get widespread severe around here. Most of the time, you just need to get lucky.

I don’t expect to get much severe here. Not like NW / SW CT who are better positioned. But I do expect to get a few tstorms in an active summer. I mean when Groton to Cape Cod report severe and wind damage several times and I can’t even get a t shower ,it’s just bad luck i guess

I don’t really care much for convection unless it’s a biggun. I’m more happy for the natural rainfall. 

As opposed to what, *unnatural* rainfall?  LOL.  What narrow-minded curmudgeon weenie!  We could get another 7/10/1989, and you'd still be like MEH!

It’s easier to cheer for other people’s good fortune after you’ve had at least a taste

Greenfield has had 7”+ the past 10 days. 
Weird precip distro this year.

Had a window seat at Red Rose on Main Street when it went though and posted about the hail.  just about everone in the restaurant was looking out the windows when it was whipping, it was quite exciting for a minute or two, there was quite a bit of foliage flying around from the wind and hail.  Had a few route detours due to downed trees and emergency vehicle calls we had to navigate on way back from dinner.

[Baroclinic Zone]

Temps lagging a few degrees today so far. 87/72

[Hoth]

Man was it miserable running with this humidity. Just zero evapotranspiration from the skin. I mean the sweat was squelching in my shoes after seven miles this morning.

[powderfreak]

You know it’s been humid when a 61F dew point feels refreshing… 8-10 lower than yesterday afternoon.
