Some crispy mornings in the 50s with windows open this week followed by some of the hottest weather of the summer. I like it.

Nice set up for some storms tomorrow in Mass and southern NH. The typical question remains, can we get junk out of the way in the morning and the sun to come out mid-day to get things firing later on. 

Monday has potential. 

No slide taking out the Killington base lodge again but Vermont is going to get some interesting weather tomorrow. 

Early season tropical storm heading up the east coast. I'm reminded of one of the best episodes in TV history and want to play some Dire Straights.

If Long island Sound water temperatures were much warmer...

I was thinking about that. If this was late August we might have a very different situation.

Because that’s not where we want it.  We need everyone to concentrate really hard to try and steer it.

Was tough to send nudes back then. It was always a surprise when the carriage rolled up. 

For those who want to get psyched up...

And stats from TS Irene which I believe has a similar track

Irene was worse than Sandy in RI. No power for 10 days and no cell phones for 6-7 in Coventry/West Greenwich. Was more annoying than anything else.

First year in many I doubt we will be getting passes early. Feel like it is quite a gamble given Vermont's restrictions to out of state residents and no real guarantees from ski areas yet. Will be doing a lot more uphill I think or staying around Berkshire East sadly. 

12z NAM should be a laugher.

Bass fishing has been good the past couple weeks. Post spawn, but still alot of fish fairly shallow. Ive managed to boat a couple largemouth over 5lb, biggest was right at 6lb

Seriously. I don't understand why the Quabbin smallies are not deep yet. Holding in 10' grass flats. Should be on schools of bait over 30' by now. Everything is late. Reminds me of 2018, was catching 4+ smallies off docks on Great Pond in Maine in August, only the small fish were deep. 

Fun day out running them on the Quabbin. 

Looked like some legit spinning on velocity a couple minutes ago in Hadley going over the river. 

The haves/have nots are quite amazing. Two stations within a mile of our house reported .35-5" yesterday, 2 miles south reported almost 2.5" and given radar I believe it.  0.34" so far today. 12z 3km puts down 2-3" over our head later today, I'll believe it when I see it. 

Damn, heck of cell just popped over the Quabbin. 

Soundings have some decent ingredients for an interesting day.

Could also miss CT entirely

 

Miss the note in the bottom right panel?  *NAM Sat rainfall prior to late day storms*

Key Saturday will be how much heating we can generate after morning clouds/showers. Should we be able to destabilize sufficiently there could be a corridor of widespread wind damage...so there is room for some higher damaging wind probs here. Also, still can't sleep on Sunday

For sure. I'd lean towards south of the Pike, specifically Western CT to RI, on Saturday for best severe potential.
