Newfound Lake surface water temperature was 82.2F. That is about the warmest I have ever seen it.

You read my mind. Just posted about this

Question about PRE's. Do they only occur with stronger systems or could a band of convective showers break out earlier than forecasted?

The naked swirl is opening up and it looks like a new center is trying to form just northeast under developing thunderstorms. Not that this means that much but fun to watch. I want the center to go into Western New England. That brings true tropical air into SNE with breezy conditions and quick moving heavy showers.

Nice rain yesterday. .90" Finally some water in the pond.

Watching those storms to my north. I received about .80" in heavy showers earlier this afternoon. Have not had a strong thunderstorm hit my direct town the past couple of years. Perhaps in the next hour or two a nice squall line will be coming in.

I wasn't sure what thread to put this in. This photo was taken this afternoon on Newfound Lake. My house would be on the hill to the left of the photo. This is looking south south east. It was posted on facebook saying she thought it was a waterspout on Newfound Lake. I recorded a quick .45" just after this photo was taken but had no wind and the storm produced only a couple of lightning strikes. I think this is just a thin rain shaft. The storm was moving to the east and you can see the shaft line is quicker up at cloud height. Any thoughts?

Shower developed over Newfound Lake NH. Rumble or two of thunder. Quick .47' for me

I REALLY would like the virus thread back. Except reading some headlines or watching the news I feel lost without it. So much good quick important info. There must be away of having it without it being hijacked by outsiders in our NE group. Just factual info. Please bring it back! Rant over

74/57 Looking on the south horizon I see those towers going up in CT and can even see the cirrus outline of the storms down towards NYC. Later this week that SE low moves up towards New England and merges with a low north of the Great Lakes. I was noticing that as the storm moves up the Saint Lawrence River area as it deepens down to 995mb (29.38) on the 18Z GFS. For a July low pressure system that is not tropical that seems quite low. Anyone know how unusual that is for this time of year? Whatever happens looks like a tropical airmass for New England.

Nice trends today for the tropical low. It's over land right now but the GFS and Euro bring it up the coast and possibly to the west of New England late week. Not expecting a tropical storm or anything like that but the Euro has it at 1005mb as it comes up the coast and deepens it to 1002mb in New York state. That would give us high tropical humidity, downpours and a nice south breeze. Good for areas that have missed convection rains the past week or so.

This is great. Thank you

Looking for the CV thread. I see it got taken away. Damn. I would skim that thread to get so much useful info. There should have been a discussion first before taking it down. Yeah it got political and nasty but was great info. I say put it back up please?

Happy 4th NNElanders.... Question. I happen to look at the Mt Washington webcam and noticed that there is still quite a bit of snow in Tuckerman's Ravine. I remember as a kid in the 1960's that there was an article in the Boston Globe about the fact that some snow made it all the way through summer up there. I wonder what the usual "snowout" day is on the mountain? Anyone have a clue? Oh, I noticed that sunset tonight for my region of Central NH is 832pm. Tomorrow we loose a minute with sunsets. Sunrises have been getting later for a couple of weeks now. Still a couple of weeks away from the climatological peak of temperatures.

Caught this rainbow with the moon in it. What are the chances of that?

Nice thunderstorm passing over Newfound Lake NH. I just got .58" past half an hour. Now up to 3.25" for ULL total Video of thunderstorm passing over (and my lawn guy getting down fertilizer just before it passes. https://video.nest.com/clip/a0ff3167665646ab8aa507aa81dfc3b0.mp4

.17" yesterday .07" today as of 7pm.

About .07" today after .17" yesterday. The 1/4" of rain over the past 24 hours came in various showers, very light rain and drizzle so pavement under trees is still dry. Another batch to my east looks to make a run at me later this evening Bit over 3/4" in last 6 weeks

Noon 68F Sprinkles About .04" this morning. Up to .21" storm total.

.17" yesterday and overnight

Another dry day for me. Flash flood warnings 5 miles to my north and storms to the south. Shooting the gaps perfectly so far.

Coming over Boston

Models the past couple of days shifted south and kept Central NH high and dry. I'm surprised to see the rain area being so far north. Looking at radar I would at least get some rain this afternoon. Models say no

I may have told this story on the board a few years back but thunderstorms with lots of lightning brought back this memory. I'm 63. When I grew up in Baltimore in the 1960's and eary 70's there was no weather radar. Other than hourly obs it was very hard to tell where thunderstorms were. Most phone calls were long distance so a phone call of 50 miles was long distance and charged to your phone. Transistor radios were very popular and on the AM dial 530 was a great place to listen for the distinct static that lightning produced. So I would listen intently in the afternoons to the frequency and how loud the static were and if they were getting louder or softer. That gave me a crude way of forecasting storms although I never knew exactly where they were. I kept a chart and called them "SPM's" statics per minute. Okay, too much weenie info but I was "that weird kid" when it came to getting excited about severe or unusual weather
