The key I think is going to be what develops behind the initial slug of precip. A few days ago I didn't think there was going to be convection involved, however, this has evolved to where we may get enough of a break behind the initial batch for some weak instability to develop, prompting showers and thunderstorms to develop during the afternoon. I still think the initial slug of precip is too progressive to drop widespread 1"+ totals but if something like the NAM occurs then it is very possible from the Pike southwards into CT.
-
I would think so too, especially if there is any convection involved. But looking at the 12z NAM...that scenario would definitely argue for a widespread 1"+ of rain.
-
Still seems like a widespread 0.50"-0.75" tonight into tomorrow...don't think that has changed much over the last 2-3 days in that regard. Could see some storms though late afternoon from southern VT through western MA into northwest CT.

I'm not sold on the cutoff idea until we get closer. While it isn't uncommon for cutoffs this time of year we are also in the range where models can get cutoff happy.

Those look either like pineapples or bowsers armor

Then we 90 on Tuesday!
-
Curious...could that increase the likelihood of -NAO's? I could be wrong on this but isn't there also some correlation between SSTA's in the domain/NAO phase? But I guess it wouldn't matter if there was no cold around
-
meh
-
We see that for another day or two of runs we may be able too
-
Must be because the lack of leaf out dry grounds?

We are just over a week away from the month of May. The snow shovels and snow blowers are put away, trees are budding and blossoming, flowers are growing, and ACs are being installed. We are entering a season of change and pretty soon we'll all be celebrating the three H's. May also begins the increasing risk for thunderstorms as we introduce greater theta-e air into the region with cold fronts making their way through at times. Looking ahead to the first week of May, it looks like April closes on an unseasonably warm note with strong ridging at 500mb coupled with a cold front approaching at the surface helping to aid in unseasonably warm llvl air with a strong southwesterly flow. While there are subtle hints at some weak troughing across the Northeast to begin the first week of May, independent on any small-scale phenomena, we should begin the month above-average with respect to climo with potential for some over the top warmth given the above-average height anomalies extending well into central Canada.

ehhh that is too warm in the house actually lol. Saturday it got up into the upper 70's in the house...was tough to sleep Saturday night because it was so warm. I do like it cool at night because I can just bury myself under the blanket. I don't think this place is well insulated...it gets crazy hot inside, even if its in the 60's or 70's outside and crazy cold in the winter.

Yeah probably about 30 minutes or so ago got the burst out here. Quite a bit of blue sky and sun now. Temperatures should really shoot up over this next hour, especially given this burst out occurred just prior to prime heating time.
-
This thick llvl deck absolutely blows. I can see a tiny disc outlining the sun but you can tell how thick the deck is. Given its still mid-to-late April this is going to take time to erode...if it was another month from now this probably be nearly eroded. I bet its like another hour ughhh

I know it was like mid April but I can't remember the year...I want to say either April 2006 or 2007 but it was a Saturday and I was headed to Cooperstown for the baseball HOF. Anyways, it was a pretty solid severe day back across NY/PA...several supercells and decent hailers...only thing that prevented it from being a bigger severe day was the low dews (only in the 50's).
