CT Rain Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Anyone notice their Davis gauge underreports during heavy rain? I had 2.71" in my cocorahs gauge but only 2.48" in my Davis gauge. Most events up until this the numbers between the 2 have been spot on but this was our first really heavy rain event with huge rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Yes in tstorms that always happens Yeah my cocorahs gauge is actually higher off the post it's on than the Davis gauge so less prone to rain drops splashing in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually we are all close but sometimes there's big diffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Looking out my windows to the west. What I do not understand is what would cause clouds to be flying out of what appears to be the NW. Isn't that very much against the wind direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 We will heat up later this week, but for those who say we never get double digit departures anymore, ORH has had 3 this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on my facebook just linked me to this. Read about it before. May 22nd was the anniversary of one of the worst weather fueled fires in Boston's history and it was in Dorchester. Absolutely insane pictures, I'm sure you will recognize the area. http://bostonfirehistory.org/firestory05221964.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Chilly but last glory day for the frigid franks?Euro is damn hot beginning Thursday. 2m 90s for the W flow downslope locales and Sun is probably near 90F too. I doubt we're done with below normal cooldowns, but they may become fewer and farther between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 wow only 15 mins from first alarm to all hands on deck, fast fire spread, must have been a very dry period.Gusty SW winds.. dry and warm too. An example of a worst case scenario. Wood triple deckers packed next to each other, ugly. Like you said 1 to 5 alarms in 15 is ugly. 5 alarm is the equivalent to the modern day 9 alarm.

powderfreak Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Drought fail. Water is no longer an issue where I live...5-10" of rainfall for the communities around Mount Mansfield (heaviest on the west slope and adjacent eastern suburbs of BTV). Stowe VIllage CoCoRAHS has come in with 5.19" in the past 6 days on the east side of the mountain...but the west side of the mountain in Jerhico and Underhill have picked up 7-10" of rain in the last 6 days. And with NW flow finally showing up today, steadier upslope precipitation has redeveloped over these areas that don't need any more rainfall.
