adk Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 VT and the Adirondacks have really been ground zero for severe and MCS activity this season. Not as much in eastern New England. I didn't realize how dry Maine was, though, wow! I'm not sure there many technical MCS events ....training storm lines yes....mcs clusters...idk. But I'm no severe weather expert.

powderfreak Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hit 90F here in the village for the first time this summer on my thermometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Looks like a bit of a lake breeze is affecting some of the stations along parts of Lake Winnipesaukee by Rattlesnake Island and Rum Point... only 79 and 82 there. Lake temp is 65... it's great to be able to wash my hands without painfully cold water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 88.8F FTW Looking at Eek's NNE mesomap, plenty of readings around 70F at the coast. And that, my friend, is serious FTWing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Squall line really booking it SE ward towards New England. Looks like a fun evening perhaps. Severe Thunderstorm watch should be issued shortly. Looks like around 8pm or so in Central NH. Projectory seems to be from the Lakes Area southward. 87.8F was my high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it rides the theta-e ridge building in...or else it may make a dive southward just to our west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 88.8F FTW I got a couple degrees warmer over here... not surprising as even with elevation this area of NW New England seems to bake under these big ridges. High was 90.4F at my place... first 90F of the season. Tomorrow's forecast high is only 80F though with chance of severe storms. Low of 48F tomorrow night and then 41F on Friday night will feel awfully refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Wind has picked way up and spiked temps all the way back up to 81.4. Pretty impressive for 10:40pm. Dewpoint has dropped to 58 so it's not humid at all, just an awesome night. Have a bit of a mystery... there is a cricket chirping up a storm in the rock wall out front. Wtf? We never hear those around here until mid August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvysnow79 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 What an incredible summer night out there...frogs croaking in the pond, 100's of green flashes from lightning bugs, and plenty of flashes from those approaching storms in Vermont. Amazingly I am able to enjoy the 73F with no bugs attacking even with the calm winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 A reasonable 60/58 at PWM, where I spent the night. Back at home inland, however, the temp remains an abysmal 73F. My prediction is that it gets toasty today. Sure would like to see some rain from that area sliding SE through NH, but it looks like a near miss is in the works. Maybe later today will provide much-needed moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Well, topped out at 86F at the house yesterday. I've still yet to see 90 at this locale. We've been close but not quite. Regardless though, hot day yesterday....and I was hanging sheetrock at the house....upstairs....the ceiling to boot....and the ceiling fan of course needed to be disconnected and taken down to hang a sheet of that miserable stuff. Had some nice storms overnight/wee hours giving us a much needed 0.33". It wasn't as much as it sounded like but I'll take it all the same. Bruins won't loose another game this season.

That is incredible that you had less than 4" all of May when you compare to the climo sites... we had around 8" in Stowe by my crude tally.

adk Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Def. still an boundary primed for igniting storms lingering over the North Country. SPC has slight chance for SVR wx but i think across the higher terrain, with diff. heating and moist low level flow the chances are higher than SPC computes. I'd say it's another hail threat like yesterday...which when reviewing the storm reports was very widespread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The training cells were oh-so close but not overhead. So close in fact that they were within ear-shot. No worries though, we'll get ours. We always do.

Mother Nature loves her averages. You seem to live in a high elevation location that normally doesn't miss out on precipitation, so I was just a little shocked to hear that. Its not like you're down in Springfield, VT in the middle of the valley. Oftentimes you get more rainfall than me when comparing obs on here, especially in synoptic events though I'll get the nod in orographic events.

tamarack Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Two more storm chances missed/grazed. Nearly 2 hr rumbles and flashes 9-11 last eve as the storms passed to our NE by a few miles, though close enough to increase our June rainfall total by 50% - it's now at 0.03". The next group of storms looked decent as it approached MBY about noon, but kind of fizzled as it passed by. Made the ground wet (as per phone conversation with my wife, who called to say our "pet" snapper was casing the yard again for a place to lay her eggs.) Still looks like some decent opportunities today for interesting wx, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Pouring rain and thunder here now. Cell ignited right over BTV and dropped 0.31" in about 15 minutes based on the METARs. Amazing that everyone in this thread is begging for rain. Here at the hotel everyone is going, "Oh great, just what we need... more rain." Such a difference of opinions between NW New England and SE areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
