CoastalWx Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 yeah i felt the same when i saw it yesterday. now 3 runs in a row so i'm starting to wonder...lol. the amount of rain is what has me wondering because usually when we see the globals developing isolated to scattered convection, you just get the smearing effect and end up with widespread .10" contours. this run again has like 1" of rain in W MA and pretty healthy totals everywhere away from E areas. best weather east? Nah, west is best for deep summer. I guess that means rain is deep summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Nah, west is best for deep summer. I guess that means rain is deep summer. A day like today for example was a dream come true for summer lovers who want to enjoy the last week of the season in the season. Dews near or over 70 for a time..temps well into the 80's..Towering Cu developing into massive storms that could be seen across several states. If you like 75/63 in August with boredom in YBY..then today was for you..if you like summer and convection and dews/..then today was for you.

powderfreak Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Dews and hills..hills and dews = storms I'll admit that seems to be the formula...that's how we had a 17-day rain stretch in late June and July. Humid patterns being these pulse rainers off the mountain tops and drift down into town. Just had the 3pm downpour that lasted all of 5-minutes. It's like clockwork...just like everyday the first three weeks of July...towers build all morning and then by 3pm they start letting go. There are like 10 different popcorn showers in Lamoille County right now. One for each peak, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Ahh..the dicks keep on dicking. Anyone else want to chime in? Please do Today there was an anabatic wind which caused these storms over the terrain Mr. Sensitive today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 There were boundaries across the area visible on satellite that initiated a few storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 NWS Boston said anabatic wind, nice Opposite of katabatic. Probably had a little to do with it, but remnant boundaries were visible too along with a TD axis and higher dews aloft per SPC meso analysis. Someone like PF would benefit from an anabatic wind on a day like today. In fact, almost every day you have that since air always rises after being warmed on a hillside. An anabatic wind is a big reason why we have an Indian Monsoon. The Tibetan plateau heats up and helps draw moist air north from the IO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin clearly likes to hear himself talk so taking away the constant dialogue, or just ignore the offending posts, will reduce the attention-seeking behavior.I agree with all who said the posting style has gotten worse. It used to be an occasional joke peppered in but now it's every post. And that's not funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I was just surprised they called it that but it was neat watching it evolve on sat and in person. Had great views of the process right outside my office window.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Still sunny here...just on edge of the cloud shoeld from that batch pf storms in east CT. Starting to hear some distant thunder. Would live those to build back to the west a bit so we can get in on the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all go through cycles...go after it for a few days, then break while someone else picks up the slack. This winter will be interesting.

Awesome description...I wasn't even completely sure what you were talking about. But that's gotta happen almost everyday on a smaller scale...that's why the clouds always form over the peaks first on days like this, no? Rising air up the slopes as that terrain heats up.

Yeah I think it's more reserved for days that have light winds If it were true anabatic, the ern ORH hills would have had showers, but there were other things at play today. The mtn sides heat up, air rises and then more air flows in to help fill in the mass void. I'm also not sure the relative elevation of the SNE hills of central MA and CT have a big effect on this phenomenon, but certain up where you are. Might be partly a reason why winds in the CT valley are also more backed in the summer...but Ryan might know more about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
