ORH_wxman Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 That for month to date, correct? Yes...but all 4 are over the monthly average for the entire month of August...so if we go the next 2 weeks with no rain, we'll still finish above average in August for precip.

ORH_wxman Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Nice little enhancement right along the coastline of pym county. I like how you can see the low level elements racing in from the ENE between BOS/ORH. Probably some decent upslope enhancement going on here...even below where the radar can see.

Logan11 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Pouring here now. Another inch here since 10 AM this morning. Now 2.6" total for the event since 7 PM yesterday. I like how you can see the low level elements racing in from the ENE between BOS/ORH. Probably some decent upslope enhancement going on here...even below where the radar can see.

The radar is really neat as you pointed out. It's a little more showery looking with those elements racing in from the east as you pointed out...also you can see those showery elements moving sw, to the east of KBOS. Another low over Messenger's fanny too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hey there's ORH with the winds more easterly than anywhere else again...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 So, 2 of the last three months will be above to well above (June was record breaking in many areas of SNE) in the rainfall category. June was a bit below temp wise and August could easily end up AOB normal. I'd say my cool wet Summer prediction has come to fruition very nicely. We will take a site close to you, ORH june -0.1 july +3.0 August through yesterday +1.5 cool summer? I am sure you can do the math! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Peak gust to 20kt at TAN. A little more that 1.5". Not a bad storm at all. Now we get to deal with the low level moisture and clouds for the next couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hey there's ORH with the winds more easterly than anywhere else again...lol. I still am not quite sure why that happens, but I'm sure it has to do with the terrain. Maybe the opposite of when on a SW wind, the valleys tend to be more southerly...on a more NE/N wind, the ridgelines tend to be more ENE. Not sure exactly though, but its funny that you see it all the time now after I pointed it out a long while back, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter can't come soon enough Other than that, windows are wide open. Feels like October 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 July had to be above normal event at Petes, but a walk in the park compared to the Midwest or NYC south. But August... Some of the hotter days were on a downslope which has no affect on Pete or my micro climate. I haven't been above 85 in August. We will take a site close to you, ORH june -0.1 july +3.0 August through yesterday +1.5 cool summer? I am sure you can do the math! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, it's interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 LOL, this low is going over the CC canal...or close to it. Logan gusting to 27kts now. This would be an absolutely sick track for a winter storm... beautiful radar presentation, too... everyone gets hit hard all the way back to central NY. Even the BTV AFD mentions how nice of a winter storm this would be for New England and NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'd be at 30" of snow easily by now with S+ LOL This would be an absolutely sick track for a winter storm... beautiful radar presentation, too... everyone gets hit hard all the way back to central NY.

ORH_wxman Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I think they tend to be a little less ageostrophic as well at that elevation. Anyways, it's interesting to see. Yes, the winds will veer with height, so that's certainly part of it...but even compared to those spots like AFN, they tends to be more veered. ORH is a lot more exposed than AFN though so that certainly plays a role. I'd love to get an AWOS stuck on the top of Wachusett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still pissed NZW is gone. That would be a nice in between station to have between BOS and GHG. GHG can be a little screwy sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 BDL is over 10 inches above normal for the year in qpf. WOW I wonder how many stations are in double digits over normal in terms of precipitation since January 1st... BTV is over 11" above normal to date now.

I'm actually surprised there isn't a weather station up there... most major hills should have one, lol. Especially considering there is probably a road and power for the ski area maintenance that goes to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is saying its a TORCH, the summer has been above normal at all sne stations, too say its been a cool summer is ridiculous and pure trolling.

ChrisM Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 rain finally stopping, light mist.

I live in WESTERN NEW ENGLAND, ORH is practically in the ocean. every sne station is above normal for the summer, in fact even burlington vt was +0.5 in june and is now +2.5 for august, dont have the data for july but I am sure it was well above normal.
