In the northeast part of town there were two rounds of hail and some wind gusts that may have been down bursts. Parents have some tree damage at their house and in their neighborhood. That cell drifted ESE into Swansea/Somerset/Fall River area.

Hailing in Bristol, that doesn't happen often. Cell developed right over the area.

That’s was a surprisingly strong cell that blew through here.

Enjoying the COC at Lower Falls on the Kancamagus earlier. 73/53. Was 66 at the pass as we drive through with windows down. Not a drop of sweat to be found in the nether-regions. Now grabbing pizza in Lincoln before the long drive home. The perfect summer day.

I’m pro interesting/exciting weather but anti crotch rot. Not sure dewpoints are as exciting as tornados and hurricanes unless you get a rise out of me showering twice a day.

Only a storm named Debby would have this wind field…

Why is this something to celebrate?

Not the 8-10" we are usually hoping for in SNE.

Well looks like my afternoon is going to be wet…

Heavy rain here. Lovely weather we are having here in the tropical jungles of Bristol.

Fixed the graphics for Channel 8...

Lots of reasons for that though, that aren’t necessarily climate related. Most people moving to forced air systems from water based systems makes it easier for central A/C even if you don’t need it. On some systems it’s now more expensive to get it without it since the central HVAC systems are designed for the entire country. Window units are also less expensive in relation to inflation now that last are made in China, Thailand, and Vietnam. I will say the climate related need is that it’s warmer and humid more often than it was a decade ago, regardless of what anyone feels is the cause.

Not complaining at all - just observing. I’ll take the rain, it keeps things green for the sunny days. We’ve been getting hit with the rain all month even when the most severe part of the storms move just north of me.

They seem to move east from Warwick/Cranston, then jump just slightly north of me into Barrington, and then into Swansea. Happens quite often then just moving straight east into Bristol. We’re talking 10 miles, but it makes a difference!

As usual, the strongest part of the cell skipped north of us. Heavy rain, some wind and lightning. It’s amazing how consistently that occurs, where they move just north of me - about 75-85% of the time.

Incoming here… in a severe thunderstorm warning. Lots of thunder and lightning to my west.

There will be breaks in the beyond time frame just like there have been last couple of weeks. Models haven’t been great at picking up the shortwaves and fronts pushing through until a few days before. It doesn’t look like things truly change until mid July, when heights rise in Canada again.

Is that second (SW CT) and third batch (PA) going to to make it here?

Power outage here. Torrential rain. Not too much thunder and lightning compared to what was on radar. Worse just to the north of us.

No stein for you!

Hmm this line about to slide into Narragansett Bay looks interesting.

Some thunder and lightning here and some downpours but nothing severe. Longest day of the year but it’s quite dark already!

Can't wait for all the dews to arrive! LET'S DEW IT!!!
