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.

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.

Sleeper storms moving into the Valley.

Tinder by telegraph

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.
