So are folks in error to think this thing brings relatively high dewpoint air of mid- upper 60's with it on strong SE flow on Saturday?

Are you talking home stations or ASOS? ;)

I think everyone is right in a way...there is no doubt that for much of the rainfall it looks pretty cool with dews 55-60 and temps right in that ballpark too. That's like Friday through Saturday morning.

Then it looks like dews come up right as the rain is lifting northeast on like Saturday afternoon...and I mean its not hard to do that with a really moist boundary layer and southern origins of airmass.

But Friday afternoon/night and Saturday morning isn't going to be a muggy rain. The bulk of this will be fairly chilly.

Maybe you and I are misreading? Some are saying its a cold rain it seems

 

Its not going to be a warm rain friday or saturday morning...maybe a brief muggy feel as the low tracks almost overhead saturday afternoon before the drier airmass behind it is advected in.

Yeah there are two times in play here...  the bulk of the rain is like 50-65F from north to south in New England.  It looks like on the 12z ECM that from I-90 or RT 2 northward, stays in the 50s for the duration of the rains.  Most of CT is in the low to mid 60s during the rain.  If it makes him feel better to have it pouring at 63/62 rather than 57/56, well more power to him if he can spin that into a "100 times better" than the alternative.

 

Now if we are talking about after the rain ends or towards the tail end as we go through Saturday, then I agree, it could get briefly muggy.  It looks like the ECM has a late day temp spike into the 70s in CT.  If that's what we are talking about, then I think everyone acknowledges that there will likely be a muggy period, especially with really wet saturated grounds, the home PWS should record some high dews to satisfy that fetish on Saturday evening.

 

But while its actually raining and for 90% of the rain, its not a 72/69 type of set-up...however he may get his 72/69 later on Saturday evening after the rain.

Thats all we were trying to say. With a huge outdoor event Sat evening and deep muggy conditions like that with some late day sun that is perfect

I wonder if we can nudge the low track a bit west of us?

 

It looks like it goes west of you on some of the models like the GGEM...  however we've gotta bump this post in like December when you are looking to keep every single low to the east ;)

 

Speaking of which, if this was winter we'd be talking about how its going to be very hard to get this to go west and the secondary will develop off the coast to keep the cold locked in over the interior... so we will have to look for that to happen.  With the high to the north, there's no way this goes too far west.  Triple point development?

Yeah if that's what you are looking for, I totally could buy that muggy feeling (I'll leave out the "deep" wording, lol) on Saturday afternoon and evening...in fact I'd probably expect it by like 4pm on Saturday.

 

I actually think it'll be hard for it not to feel muggy especially if there's a widespread like 2-5 inch rainfall and soggy ground.  If there's any breaks in sun Saturday afternoon/evening it'll just turn the ground level into a steam bath.  Lots of mist/fog though probably, too, with so much low level moisture and light winds.  Rainforest type stuff for a few hours before the winds try to go NW behind the low.

It's not going to be widespread 50s for a high as some progs indicated earlier. Talking sne.

 

 

Euro probably only has upper 50s in the interior for Friday...maybe 60-62F. Its pretty nasty actually. Saturday isn't quite as bad.

 

The GFS seems to be on its own not showing much of any CAD on Friday...or at least much weaker CAD.

I know it's early right now, but this has the classic look of a SE NY mtn region to maybe wrn CT and up into VT and SW NH deluge look. Obviously room for wobbles, but has that look.  That's not including that almost PRE look that Phil said either...that is further NW.

yeah someone could get smoked. don't want to go overboard with the system in its infancy stages, but by the same token can also see some of the writing starting to show up on the wall.

What a turnaround from the damaging drought we had this spring.

sticking out into the ocean?? did you move to the Cape? 

 

 

I think he is referring to my comment about New England as a whole sticking out into the Atlantic...one of the reasons I was downplaying the drought threat around our parts.

 

Sultan signals (flooding) seem to be a much bigger threat for our region than droughts with the Atlantic to our south and east.
