100%...

The index was called DAX... Differential Advection Index.

Just some added info. Dr. Mel Goldstein (who passed away in 2012?) developed a Severe Weather Index in the 1970's that was used to gauge severe weather potential in SNE. The index ranged from 1 to 5; 1 little or no severe wx potential, 5 was strong potential for tornadoes. He worked closely with region electricity suppliers to gauge the threat for power outages. In his morning update on October 3rd his index came in as 5!!! He issued updates during the day indicating the tornado potential was high, and in fact called the Office of Emergency Management several times about his concern. As a side note, I was living on the western edge of the Farmington Valley then, and observed obvious large scale low-level rotation racing northeast about 10 to 15 minutes prior to touchdown in Windsor Locks.

The string of great sunsets continues!

Nice sunset on Johnnycake Mtn road Burlington, CT PXL_20260522_001752993.RAW-02.ORIGINAL.dng PXL_20260522_001748283.RAW-02.ORIGINAL.dng

Cell peaked heading into my area... Two trees down and power out; genny running.

Yep...

Rainbow season has arrived in Burlington CT...

Yep... I put the drought monitor talk in the same bin I use for all the New England elevated fire danger statements!

Hey Steve... great work... would certainly consider using it... Is the rainfall (in/hr) working???

Could not agree more Tip. The numbers don't lie song is highly overrated! The subject take by "non-weather geeks" like most of my friends and family, is that this spring has largely sucked. I know spring in New England is more often than not crappy. But I'm just not buying this has been a great spring spin.

I keep reading "best spring ever"? Not feeling it; I don't care what #'s say! Precious few great stretches...

Hard to miss that many shots in a 3 minute span!

Praying for continued recovery...
