Long Duration Noreaster - First week of June

[ORH_wxman]

I used to do that in the 80s and early 90s with record temps because the list I had for BDL & CEF was from the early 80s and they didn't issue reports as readily as you can obtain today. I stopped updating the list when I got out of the business in the early 90s.

Interestingly, I was poking around to see if I could write a script that could automate what you are doing and for what I was looking for and I found that they do have the following:

http://www.nws.noaa....cis.php?wfo=box

If you select Daily Extremes, your target area, Max Temperature and then Lowest, you can see the lowest high temps for any day of the year through 2012. Changing the selections can give you other data tables. They also seem to have data for stations outside of the first order ones but I have not looked at those.

http://threadex.rcc-acis.org/ - Has the same data along with the years.

That 2nd link is very nice...it actually has the updated extremes. I hadn't seen that one before. The first link is good too but doesn't have the years...though if its different than the list in 2002, you can probably find it pretty easily just checking the data for years after 2002.

Disagree, but enjoy the clouds.

Yeah I just checked the last 6 runs of the Euro on WSI and its been remarkably consistent. If you go back far enough to the middle of last week, it had a couple runs where it was further west on Monday, but overall its done a good job.

facts win every time.

Models have been pretty good overall. It's only been a matter of 53 and steadier rains, or 57 and intermittent showers.

The euro went nuts on the 00z run a couple of days ago. I think they were referencing that possibility, but it looked a little amped up. I bet parts of the Cape gust near 40 tomorrow though. The soundings actually have low level CAPE meaning should be able to transfer momentum down to the surface. Also..probably some ocean effect showers in addition to a band of rain moving in from the water, due to WAA aloft...above the cold layer near the surface.

I agree, but I am confused, I saw the same thing but now you are backing off this statement? My point is the euro was way too wrapped up, noreaster type deal?

[Mr Torchey]

and while the Euro may have been fairly consistent with this feature its been purtrid, abosolute disgrace over the holiday weekend

[CapturedNature]

Nice cell over me now...at least a few tenths so far. No hail FTW (so far).

Update: Looking at the radar, the heaviest appears to just S of me. Temp dropped abt 10°.

[Damage In Tolland]

Pounded with storms as we came west over Tappen Zee. Tons if lightning, loud thunder and blinding rains

[CoastalWx]

No, it had a low that was a little amped up for one run. Just like the GFS had a weak system for a few runs. My point was that yeah it may have been a few millibars off, but it's not flawed as you stated. Those are powerful words.

[CT Rain]

DXR guested to 37 knots

That's a decent line moving into CT.

[HoarfrostHubb]

What is happening to the radar in Maine the last few frames? Did they switch modes?

Nothings changed radar wise here, Been steady 25-35 dbz bands with some embedded 40 dbz we are just over 6" for a storm total here

[Quincy]

had some pretty strong winds here, looked like 35-40 MPH here in the east end of Danbury. The storm has since passed and is beginning to weaken.

[NorEaster27]

surprising lack of hail with these storms

[Johnno]

decent sustained and gusts on Bantam Lake right now heavy rain as well no hail

[ChrisM]

Very dark to the w

I was looking at the NWS mosaic and it seemed to be funky, but the individual stations seem fine.

Light rain here

[Quincy]

no confirmed hail reports in W CT. interesting, but then again aside from wind, the storm wasn't too too impressive here in Danbury.

[CT Rain]

I saw a pic of pea size hail in Danbury.

[OceanStWx]

I saw a pic of pea size hail in Danbury.

SPC mesoanalysis has small CAPE (100-200 J/kg) in the hail growth zone, so about right for spotty small hail reports. But lapse rates in the low levels are nearly dry adiabatic, so also not surprising that there is a little more wind with these showers/storms.

Yeah pretty classic 500mb cold pool setup. A bit of skinny CAPE and a dry boundary layer gives you some peas and 40 knot gusts.

[ChrisM]

Nice wind!!

[CapturedNature]

Second cell moving through now....with hail! Impressive down pour with this one.

[CoastalWx]

Impressive cell near GON. Likely hail with that.

Hail size??? time of hail as well please

[HoarfrostHubb]

Another line running from Albany to Glen Falls area

[moneypitmike]

Thunder incoming.

61.8/54

Hail size??? time of hail as well please

I should have included that but it was pea size - nothing to write home about and it was while I was posted that post so about 1525ET. I submitted the report FWIW.

All is quiet now while I await round 3:
