dendrite Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Max 69 so far...may be the first high in the 60s in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Max 69 so far...may be the first high in the 60s in awhile. 65 for the tops here so far. Guy on the radio this morning said "highs either side of 80". I chuckled when I heard that one. Granted, that forecast was for Leb but still, they've only hit 69 so far.

Allenson Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Well, he was right, the low side of 80 True 'dat. Anyway, slug of rain coming across the Daks may have our name on it in central VT. Might as well rain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we have had light rain on and off for the last couple of hours. It is enough to postpone the races at Thunder Road. Now I have two 9 year old boys with nothing but time and a rainy evening on their hands. I hope I survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Finally getting some much needed rain. Looks like we should see moderate to heavy rain showers passing through most of the evening. Down to 65F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 65 for the tops here so far. I hit 66F briefly but most of the day was 62-64F....incredible for July and it seemed to rain off and on all day but I bet amounts have been light. ASOS max/mins for today: BTV...71/64 MVL...66/59 MPV...68/59 1V4....66/59 Stations east of the Spine were pretty similar haha. Another below normal day.

eekuasepinniW Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Uber +RA under this 50-55dbz pixel...2.55"/hr rate on the Davis. I need that rain. Noticed today some of the birches in my backyard are about 50% bright yellow from drought stress. The 40-45dbz pixels over me are sucky. Just light rain at 0.15"/hr. Up to .17" so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can hear it approaching from the west rattling off the pines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Right on the edge of the heavy rainfall here. Station 10 miles west had 0.33", station five miles south had 1.35". PWM picked up 1.52" over the span of a couple of hours, almost 2.5" over the past week. Feast or famine for folks around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 More -RA this morning. Up to 0.93" for the event. And man is it getting dark at 530am now...especially with clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 So with a few days left in the month, the current temperature departures across the northern half of VT at the ASOS stations are: BTV... +2.0F (pesky CPV funneling nighttime winds have kept them much higher at night relative to the other interior VT sites) MVL... +0.6F MPV... +0.2F 1V4... -1.4F Those sites are listed from west to east across the state, with 1V4 (Saint Johnsbury) on the NH border, so there is a definite departure gradient as you leave NY and head east towards NH. Champlain Valley is above by a couple degrees, interior sites nestled in the hills are right near normal, and then CT Valley solidly below normal. Locally here, as far as precipitation goes, we've received 3.89" of precipitation this month per Stowe village 0.2SW CoCoRAHS station. Also if anyone is interested, do not trust the rainfall amounts from MVL. They've been low for a while and this month the ASOS has only recorded 1.14" of precipitation, in contrast to widespread 3-4.5" amounts via CoCoRAHS and spotter networks. Andy Nash (meteorologist-in-charge) at BTV told me its an interesting problem because they've noticed it too, but every time they send technicians out to calibrate it, the equipment checks out fine. It sounded like the they wanted to just put a regular old rain gage out next to the ASOS and do comparisons. Interesting problem because the ASOS is always like 50-66% too low. Its not like its a small amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Picked up 0.32" last evening/overnight. Not a ton but it was nice & gentle--no runoff at all. 3.32" for the month to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Had 64/54 yest with 0.01" in the AM sprinkles. Even the most pessimistic models for rain in my area weren't pessimistic enough. Overnight precip was T, only noticeable at all because of the droplets on vehicles. Month now at 0.91", and dependent on random convection to get any more; MBY is notoriously effective in eluding such events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It'll be awhile but it's worth it. I'm assuming it is down for dual pol. Yeah, the upgrade started today. No severe in the offing so now is a good time. Two weeks, they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Always Sunny Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Finally some clearing here. Temps back on the rise, may give us the chance to see some scattered showers/tstorms later on however last time I checked I think lapse rates and CAPE were quite modest.
