Storm should be crossing it pretty soon.  Let's get a waterspout.

Yup, had the baby with me, she was napping in the tent. Woke her up and headed back in. BTW, had 88-89* water at Metacomet a couple days ago. Damn swampy jacuzzi. 

The Quabbin was 81-82* today. Pretty impressive. I dont think I saw 78/79 last year. 

Part of me thinks we have seen models bring a hurricane up the coast 4-5 days out several times, other part says it is 2020 and anything can happen.

Had some thunder and lightning wake me up at some point overnight.  I guess it was further away than I thought as it appears we didn't get any rain,.  

Just look back on radar and it looked decent. Had a lot of water in the boat.

81/65.  Temperature dropped 7 degrees in the past hour thanks to a tiny burst of rain.

Almost dropped into the 50s, 60.9 now and very nice with windows open and the fan going. A great morning for throwing some topwater baits. 

Average summer day. Partly cloudy, 84/69.  Glad we live here.

Looks like a tornado swarm Sunday night/ Monday on the Euro 

It's within 7 days so Wiz should be making a thread soon. 

Can definitely see a cooler August coming. Not starting the woodstove like 2 years ago. We were at a friend's near Magic Mountain at 2000' and had a couple days in a row where mornings were in the low 40s and highs never touched 65.

Two years ago we had an amazing week of storms. Think we had 3-4 straight days of severe warnings. This memory popped up on my FB feed.

Sitting on the porch with a fan on, writing and grading papers, drinking iced tea. Awesome summer day.  95/73

North of pike into southern NH/VT looking best. 

Awesome pics from CT this evening.

TOR east of Catskill near the NY/Mass line?

Another big hook coming through Great Barrington.

There was a surge across the Quabbin you wouldn't wanted to have been out there for lol

For sure, anything over 12mph is 2-3 footers lol. Looked on velocity there was something happening before going over the southern part of the Q. Stolen from FB.

Pics! LFG!!

Guess I'm spoiled. Most good storms up here start with a wall of wind a minute before the rain. 

Amazing start. Went from bright to 8:30pm real fast then a 30-40mph wall of wind sending leaves and branches everywhere.

Just got warned here.

This may be getting ready to become a big wind producer 

Heck of a little hook.

Wind really starting to pick up ahead of this line.

A correlation coefficient image from yesterday... The x band view of the cell to the SE was attenuated, especially in the h polarization, but the structure is apparent all the same.   Probably good we were missing some ingredient.

Very cool, I liked this flash for two panels but was gone. Assuming it was something? Still learning.

Quick downpour and now the sun is poking back out.

I can't imagine what the traffic was like. The summer prior we were staying with friends in Truro and leaving to go meetup with others in Freeport, Maine. Was a random Tues/Wed and a line of storms went through, nothing crazy just a decent severe storm. A couple trees went down and it took us over 4 hours to get from Truro to the Canal.

Holy moly.  Yeah, it was just dumping over you. 

It looked like a drenching from the western shore of the Quabbin right through the WaWa area.
