Well we are in a moderate drought 

Sure the gypsy moths didn't have something to do with it? lol

Can't say I remember seeing this before. Lots of younger white and black birch trees in our neighborhood have leaves going yellow already. The neighbors have a 40 footer that is turning as well. Lack of rain fall? 

Nothing really memorable but a fun evening storm. Hours of thunder and lightning, no winds to speak of, power flashing (lost it for about 5 minutes at one point),  over an inch of rain. Southern and eastern areas should do better today.

3k out of power in Noho.  My colleague sent a meh pic of a downed line.

Some interesting velocity scans just north of South Hadley a minute ago on KENX.

Power flashing and internet out.

Fwiw so far not much of note has materialized in that region post intersection haha

Our Belchertucky cell has gone severe. 

Should get it good here in a bit. That was some fast strengthening. For the last 30 minutes...

Thinking today is just the appetizer for tomorrow.

I wish I could be tied to a weather balloon and launched into the air so I could experience all this wind shear going on

NAM brings the boom. Between the Pike and 44 in western CT looks to be prime. Not much clearing here yet.

Poor Wiz. You do feel for him. Another down the drain 

Been away for a few days. What did NNE steal now? lol

I really forgotten how big that storm was.  That's a legit large scale zone of counties with widespread 18-28".  That's no isolated deform band jack or something... that's a large chunk of terrain buried under 18"+.

Bit more banding in central Mass. UMass got 6-7" and we are about 8 miles east and grabbed 16" the second night and it was out area NE up to around Hubby.

69* comfortable dews, nice breeze. Summer of yore.

Yes!  That's just what I was thinking... I mean you pop a big one to lead off the winter, you expect to be well on your way to a memorable winter total.

I mean what a crush job... the swath of 18"+.  It was 22-25.7" for reports in my childhood town/Delmar to the immediate SW of ALB.

I couldn't complain about last winter after that storm. 26" total here and a 3-4" forecast turned into almost 16" on the night of the 2nd. I will never forget waking up at 4am and turning those porch lights on. 

Since I will likely be remote all winter and home with the baby I fully expect this winter to be cold and snowy so have double the amount of firewood ready compared to last year.

Now have 3.2” for the month of July.  Drought canceled! 

Wow, we have 1/3 of that just to your south. 

Went from sunny to 8:30pm here fast. 

Storm north of Hippy Valley looks like it could spin.

This guy didn't seem to mind the thunder last night. Did a lap around the house, sniffed the compost pile, then back into the woods. Biggest I have ever seen. That wood pile is 12'x8'x6'

Cell coming through Blandford is interesting on velocity.

Promising west of ORH. Boundary easy of the developing cells. Might organize. 

Developed right over use. Cool to see the clouds form while the baby was at swim class. 

Intermittent thunder the past 20 minutes. Storms still way off. 

Last day of using the central air for a bit. Liking this week.

This looked a bit better Thursday or Friday. We really just can't buy anything. Today seems to favor eastern areas...southern ME, NH, and eastern MA. Looks like that's where the better overlap of CAPE/shear will exist and perhaps some better convergence. So perhaps some damaging wind gusts out that way. 

I was on board with this until about an hour ago. Current radar and sunny morning make me think central and west could have a decent shot.

All out east if anything.

Just a matter of how quickly the morning clouds/crap clears out and how much instability we can get.
