.17" overnight and we just had a moderate thundershower. Still raining. .40" Question of the day for me is, will the new line of convection form in my area and move south or will I be totally too far north? Probably too far north? After my severe storm last week I have a whole new respect of what thunderstorms can do. If you see purple on the radar heading your way, watch out!

Boston hit 100.4 ten minutes ago

83.6/64 Light shower It is pretty special when I hit 90. I believe 90.2 was last years high. Some upper 80's this summer, like yesterday. I thought today might be a 90 day but morning debris and now some developing convection is killing that chance. About to clear back up but I don't mind being 16F cooler than the big east coast cities

1pm. 98F. Quick look and I don't see any official temperatures higher than 98F, down the coast. As of 115pm Boston down to 96.8F

98.6F if this is the official KBOS reading.

Is this Mesonet the best to watch for Boston? 96.8F with a SSW wind. I was just looking. Any more south component would lower their temperature, right? https://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/meso_base_dyn.cgi?stn=KBOS&time=GMT

83/68 at noon. Cirrus debris moving out. It will be interesting to see if any convection will pop this afternoon or how much of the weakening storms from NYS will get in here this evening. Lately I have been in an area that they die out and then the front moves through at night and the next days convection fires south of me. This front is moving slowly so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I bought this fixer upper in the spring of 89. Spent weekends here till 2001 when we moved up from Boston full time. I didn't have any window unit AC's for the first 15 years. I don't remember it being so warm at night that sleeping was hard just like the May to early July period we just had. Looking back at my life of 65 years I can tell that the climate is warming...but like the frog that enjoys slowly boiling water until it is too late to jump out most people living today are younger than me and don't remember the cooler climate. The change is so slow that they just shrug it off. Personally unless the whole world got on board (which will never happen) climate change will continue.

That was an amazing night. I had my first digital camera. No long exposure needed. They were so bright. I was driving around in awe. Here is a picture I grabbed over Newfound Lake

I posted a video of our severe thunderstorm from 2 days ago. That video was not made at the height of the storm. This one is. The video starts shortly after the rain came in. Normally in the thunderstorms I have observed the strongest wind was with the gust front, just before the rain. This was different. Started out breezy with moderate rain and got progressively worse. The hail got bigger and bigger and the biggest hail was at the tail end of the storm, not on the video. Things start to get crazy around the 1 minute mark. Initially the wind came in from the west but as the storm got going it veered to due south. The bigger hail was at the end of the storm, not on the video. From my observation the most and biggest hail fell about 1/2 mile south of me. Interesting to note 1 mile north of me had very little wind. Visibility dropped to perhaps 1/8 of a mile by 1:20 about the same as I see in a heavy snowsquall. I also notice something that I have never seen talked about. The hailstones were hitting the Stratus funnel and bouncing right out. Obviously each nickel to near quarter size hailstone is equal to a lot of water. So the 1" of rain in the status might have been more. Also I wonder if strong wind gusts reduce the accuracy of a rain gauge?

When the storm was about 25 miles out Matt texted me that it was going to be a doozy. He watches my feed all the time and said he was glued to it. His vacation house is just beyond the trees in my field. He was in Mass and wished he was up here. After the storm we were texting again. I later went down to check his house. A big tree came down and just missed his house but tore up a retaining wall. He appreciates me checking his house from time to time. He and Danielle seem like really nice people.

One more post. This is the webcam footage of the storm in real time. The high wind was right at the end, then the power was lost. Hail came after we lost power. https://video.nest.com/clip/f83adb4b41f645c4a408d1c2adec1cb7.mp4 Last image the cam got

I today I had to do errands. Went from my house to Concord then back up to Meredith and then to Center Harbor. Just a few trees down here and there. In my hood the roads are covered with leaf shreds from the hail and most of the damage was around my immediate neighborhood. The severe thunderstorm provided some unique graphs on my weather station. Temperature from 82F to 63F almost immediately. Rain rate of 6.50" but hailstones just bounced out of Stratus cup so maybe more qpf fell. Wind gust to 56mph

Scott, what am I thinking?? I have so much cleanup and Im on a mobile hotspot with no services. You are right, the anemometer is at 10m. The weather station in the field got knocked over but the anemometer didn't. So the gust was over the roof level. Sorry about that.

Yes, and it is not a wide open big field, we thought our windows would break with the hail hitting sideways

My anemometer is on a mast over our sunroom about 10 meters above ground. The Davis station is in our Apple orchard on a tripod about 2meters high. Both transmit to the console.

Wow, 2nd most intense thunderstorm I have ever seen. We must have had a microburst. 56mph gust from the Davis before the anchors were pulled out of the ground and the station blew over. 1" of rain and lots of quarters size hail This is the video in real time. As the microburst hit we lost power. Skip to the end https://video.nest.com/clip/f83adb4b41f645c4a408d1c2adec1cb7.mp4 During storm before bigger hail

Shussh! I'm like a kid in a candy shop, want severe but no damage. Matt Noyes and Danielle are my neighbors, have a weekend place up here. He is glued to my cam's right now

83/70 Severe thunderstorm Warning and Tornado Warning just to my SW. Constant distant thunder. My webcams should capture it going through here pretty soon www.bridgewaternhweather.com

Ouch, look at those dews in S NJ, E MD and SE VA Lots of 79s

82/72 Light shower. Towering Cu all quads

18Z GFS is much warmer than prior run. It now matches the Euro with even some 102's showing up in SNE

Glad I don't live there. 85.3/68 Just looked at the GFS. Seems to be backing down on widespread meaningful qpf with tomorrow's convection

So it is almost 5pm in London. Was 40.2C the highest at Heathrow? I received .58" yesterday. Biggest drink since very early June.

The discussion does mention tornadoes a couple of times. Wonder which one it will be?
