ORH_wxman Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Bone dry. RH at BDL down to 21%. Dewpoints plummeted as soon as we started mixing. Most dews are down in the 30s now. Love the dry warmth. Classic post FROPA warm day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I want my 60's/70's dews May be awhile before we get them. There's a chance we could sneak them in briefly middle of next week...GFS would try to do it, but Euro isn't as bullish and keeps the higher dew stuff south with the sfc low going much closer to us. The Euro ensembles show potential for perhaps some better severe setups by the very end of the month as they try to start building a ridge in the middle of the country and push our trough to the east...that is a typical time for good events here. But so far this year, we've had a hard time building heat domes so we'll have to see if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Is it me or is the hype about today's fire threat in SNE grossly overblown? Rapid green up under growth, wetness from recent rains and fogs. There is more to fire spread and growth than Met conditions. Yeah smaller brush fires happen even in wet periods but I have seen on the Web some really hyping it up.

There is more to fire spread and growth than Met conditions. Yeah smaller brush fires happen even in wet periods but I have seen on the Web some really hyping it up. I'd be shocked if there was any real issues today...a couple small brush fires aside. The downsloping dry winds make it worse, but as you said, green up and recent rain mitigates it somewhat. NWS didn't even put out a red flag warning...though they did highlight some elevated risk in a special weather statement. But if conditions were really that bad, a red flag warning would be up.

MainePhotog Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Wetness from fogs? Seriously ? My Davis rain guage has recorded .02" of liquid from some really dense fogs with no rain what-so-ever. Truth be told, once the sun comes out and dries the ground, it was all for naught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be told, once the sun comes out and dries the ground, it was all for naught. I think coastal redwoods get most of their water from fog. When condensation forms, it's a no-brainer that it should count as precip if it's dense enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When condensation forms, it's a no-brainer that it should count as precip if it's dense enough. I record it and is part of my yearly total. I get plenty of fog here on the coast. Most times it's just .01". But it kept the grass nice, green, and growing during the 2 week dry spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 All SNE sites over 80 today @ryanhanrahan: Up to 75F here. It's going to be a torch today with deep mixing and downslope flow in the valley. Mid 80s Hartford to Enfield. Not so torchy for some--70.1/40 at noon time. Beautiful day--feels like September with the dry warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I just went into the woods at work, the leaves and litter are wet underneath. We had rain at sundown, clouds until 10 and of course with a full canopy not much sun. Yes fog does saturate foliage, pretty simple concept.

Baroclinic Zone Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yeah, it's wicked nice out. 75/39 at TAN. Ended up only getting .01" of rain yesterday. That sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a cloud to be seen. quite the breeze to boot. Temp actually back-tracking a bit, dropped to 69.7. Interesting to see that at noon time.

I hope we can get into some better severe setups by the end of the month as that's when my friend will be down. Even if the potential exists down into like MD/DE region we can go there.
