free_man Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Was in Easton for a cookout today. And for a 10 min period we were in a rain shower where the raindrops seemed to be the size of ping pong balls(not exaggerating). I found this to be amazing, but was also amazed that there was nothing on the doppler. Yeah it did rain. Was in Taunton MA , large raindrops in Brockton on 24 at like 2pm.

#NoPoles Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Agreed. How hot did it get over there?!! didn't see what the high was... at least low 80s with dews in the mid 60's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 If Kevin wasn't on the Cape he'd have about 3 or 4 posts now about dew points in the mid/upper 70s tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 80 here today, but not humid. It was bearable.... Now down to 66. ALB on the other hand was 86 and was still 78 at 9 PM..... Glad I don't live in the urban area. Thank you for your time in the service Got a high of 78.4F here, which was a few degrees lower than what BOX had me for. What a great stretch we have been in htis week. Sunday might be pretty wet and loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Just for fun I am watching a terrible movie called "Frozen" 3 Salem State college students get stuck on a chairlift on a mountain in NH Good point. They mention night skiing at Wachusett Bad point. One of the characters gets eaten by wolves. Lol Ski MRG could save them with Powderfreaks help 64.1F.

ski MRG Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 LOL... 80F isn't *that* bad. We may average more snowfall up here but I think your area on the Eastern Slope must have colder average temperatures than ski country in northern VT. I've noticed that we are routinely warmer than your obs, but today it looks like you guys down there saw more clouds than we did up here. I notice ORH had 4-hourly readings of "mostly cloudy" this afternoon so that probably helped keep temps below 80F. 81F for a high here at 800ft (now down to a nice 73F), and even MPV ASOS at ~1,200ft hit 80F. The Mansfield summit station had its second warmest reading of the summer at 70F. You've got a great set-up down the cordillera there, Pete. Even so, you should be making plans to move north to ski country haha. Waitsfield, Fayston, Warren, etc would all be great for you right next to MRG and Sugarbush. Plus, there's no shortage of people who want nice, large, expensive second-homes built up here so you don't have to worry about finding work. It seems like a no brainer I love the Mad River Valley area. I've had some great times there and in Montpelier. I'm making plans to move north but not to VT. Alaska is the place for me. Got land, now I just need to sedate my wife long enough to transport her there otherwise the kicking and screaming might be too much to bear.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 60/59, Just a perfect evening to watch the fireworks in Greenfield. Warm on the valley floor with temps still in the 70's. What a nice slice of Americana to take in. Had a friend from the UK with us and we assured her it's not so much a celebration of kicking Redcoat butt, rather it's just a happy celebration of becoming our own country.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 They know how to do fireworks over there also. I happened to be visiting a friend on Guy Fawkes Day in Nov. 2000 and the entire country is lit up with official and private fireworks that night. That was actually during the whole Bush-Gore recount fiasco so I was glad to be abroad and miss that stuff for several weeks. 60/59, Just a perfect evening to watch the fireworks in Greenfield.

OSUmetstud Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 we're having a cookout today....hopefully the rain/thunderstorms don't ruin it. Looks like moisture/instability peaks somewhere around 5pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Another day of no torch. Although we should start to get some near 90F heat in the typical warm spots tomorrow. Unfortunately many of the 4th parties are today, and like Nick said, the soakings should peak in the mid/late afternoon. Winds/shear are fairly light so they should be slow movers and with the high PWATs some localized flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
