CT Valley Snowman

.75 nice drink so far.

Yes and the newest run continues with the AN precip anomalies up and down the east coast.

Well facts are facts. Without today's final calculations, BDL+ 0.8, ORH +1.6 BOS +2.6. Obviously BDL radiated certain nights and BOS night urban heat island probably the biggest difference between the two. BDL 4 days 90+, BOS 3, ORH 0. No 90 degree days after the 10th of the month. Dews were above normal, but not exceptional. It was a boring uneventful month here. Nothing exciting, no big storms, no canes, and the 4-day heat wave was nice but not extraordinary, the highest temp was 92. Rainfall was above average here, but nothing compared to areas SW. ORH and BOS were drier. Logan only had 0.98. It was almost a lock to end up with above normal temps, but it was not really a noteworthy torch around here. Just a typical warm boring summer month. Hopefully September brings some more excitement.

I wouldn't completely rule out storms, but probably more elevated if they do occur and obviously the better chances for severe further SW based on current guidance.

A thread for severe in New England 3-5 days in advance, lol. What could go wrong? Seriously though nice write up. Wiz should work for the SPC, move to Norman, OK. Live the dream in tornado alley. Hopefully this produces, but I'm keeping expectations in check at this juncture. We'll see how things set up as we get closer.

I'm so excited to be in a marginal risk I can hardly contain myself.

The gradient set up around here with .35 and DIT was 1.03.

Let all the SW peeps get their precip now, and let's shift the jacks north and east for winter.

.31. About what I expected. Heaviest amounts SW CT

Hmm..

Only .12 here so far.

Yeah pretty sure he did. Maybe not the absolute worst but bad enough.

2 years ago today, August 18, 2024, a day Oxford CT and surrounding areas will never forget. I remember looking at the radar in amazement but with the realization that this was going to be a flooding disaster in the hardest hit areas.

I wouldn't get your hopes up.

It's nice having a consistent berkshires poster. Looking forward to your reports during the winter.

Will be less than .10 here tonight. Wagons SW.

Toss it. No support.

As expected, the cluster of showers/storms is rapidly weakening and falling apart on approach.

Zzzzzzzzzz

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.

Probably off to a slow start and not expecting a very good retention year given the high probability of warmer temp anomalies, but I think we have our chances. And there could be a couple of big boys that help out with the snowfall anomolies, even in a overall hostile regime. That's my early take.

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

Parents reported strong winds, hail, trees and wires down and no power Tiffany st. southern Springfield near Longmeadow line.

Looks like DIT got the precision screw job again.
