#NoPoles Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 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 betula and populus are the most drought sensitive trees...it's rather annoying...my triple birch basically went into almost full gold fall foliage display a little over a week ago...now it only has 25% of its leaves remaining... our beetle traps at work are getting clogged with populus leaves...can't catch beetles if the traps are clogged...grrr!!!!

Funny...I noticed the exact same thing on some birches at CON today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Min 63F this morning. Hopefully we rack up the rainfall over the next 48hrs, but it appears WNE is in line for the heaviest amounts. Sunday has the potential to be another cool day here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 58 for a low here and just a trace of drizzle yesterday morning after obs time. Feels juicy out there this morning. BTV advertising the potential for slow moving showers and storms today that could be heavy producers--more to the south but they still have us at 80% this afternoon. Better get some work done this morning then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Only down to 57F for a low this morning...currently 73/60F with that haze that signals increasing moisture in the air. The start of a week that looks like above normal mins but below normal highs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Some nice TCU over Gunstock right now. Orographics will have a say today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Some nice TCU over Gunstock right now. Orographics will have a say today. Yeah it has the feel of slow movers that initiate over the mountains...the peaks will provid the sparks. Also one of those patterns where some basin will just get crushed with like 2-4" of rain in a short period prompting isolated FFW in the hilly terrain.

Yeah VT and the Berks are probably under the gun. Gonna be one hell of a downpour for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 While replacing plants the damn deer keep destroying, I noticed the rain over the past few days didn't penetrate deeper than 5-6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Pretty wild. I was up on the scaffolding shingling away when slowly but growing, I could hear a roar off to the south. There wasn't a breath of wind out there and I wondered if maybe it was heavy rain on the ridgeline just south of here. Walked over through the woods to the edge of the field where I can actually get a view this time of year and sure enough, it was pouring no more than 1/2 mile south of here. Now, it's finally starting to blossom overhead. Raining as I type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Up to 0.01 for the day at a rain rate of like .004 per hour. Pretty wild.

Now, it's finally starting to blossom overhead. Raining as I type. I love this sort of thing so much. I live across from a large marina with tons of metal boat storage buildings. Big fat drops on them makes an awesome racket, especially at night when it's quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fat drops on them makes an awesome racket, especially at night when it's quiet. I could see that. Or, hear it rather. I think what I heard was the shower approching and hitting all the leaves on the trees. It was very odd--it was just a low roar that got louder and louder until finally it was raining overhead. I thought it was wind coming at first but the trees were hardly moving. Then I started to wonder if it was rain falling and sure enough, it was. Ended up with 0.55" here. It rained pretty hard for a while but in the end, didn't last that long--less than two hours I would say. Minimal run-off, luckily. All is swampy, slimey and foggy this morning. Great slug weather.

powderfreak Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 We've been missing the rains the past couple days and had more sun than I expected. Got down to 58F last night and now partly sunny and 69F. Drier air off to the west last night with SLK down in the 40s overnight and St Lawerance Valley near 50F overnight...with dews about 10F lower than VT.

dendrite Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Had some sun and got up to 73F, but +RA is about to roll in from the NE. Looks like Eek is 65F with +RA right now. Definitely a strange direction for this to move in from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
