Damage In Tolland Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 First call is Mostly sunny with temps near 80. Maybe dews near 50-55 or so. Ouch...that's a little too warm and sticky,,but better than some other alternatives. That would mean much of the race is run in the 60's to near 70 .

Damage In Tolland Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 That's about perfect for BTV this time of year...remember though he's running mostly within a mile or two of the lake the whole time and sometimes right on the immediate shore. BTV ASOS is 3-4 miles inland and often a tick warmer than downtown and lake front. Lake temp is 45F which is warmer than normal but any west wind gusts will blow refreshing air over a good portion of the course....especially the Rec Path parts where you fall in the water if you trip. You gonna be around town that weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 The mesoscale models did an awesome job with the BDF. Mentioned it last night at 11. Yeah they did. I actually put it in my TAF yesterday morning and it worked out well. I wasn't sure at first with the NAM and RPM being aggressive with it, but the euro parked it right over BOS so I figured it was likely when I saw that. Not that it affects operations with VFR conditions...but one of those things you would have never saw if you just looked at the GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 pretty much perfect spring up here. early warmth meant early tilling and planting. The cold snaps mostly underperformed so I didn't lose any greens, and the apple and peach orchards survived. Now the drought concerns have ended and we are getting warm sunny days interspersed with bouts of soaking rains. If we can get and maintain warmth by this weekend I'll be planting tomatoes in May...always the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Wednesday yeah spot storms possible in the afternoon/evening. Not sure exactly how that transpires yet... models are all over the place with timing.

Typhoon Tip Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 We are no where near drought conditions, reservoirs are full, rivers are full, soil conditions are moist.

If this week doesn't pan out..we could be getting into bigger trouble going forward with the warmer and drier than normal progs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Some decent MU CAPE on the CHH sounding. Maybe one of those cases where cells form along the remnant boundary retreating back north? Mesoscale models and NAM hint at this. Probably something like +RA with a few strikes perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
