wxeyeNH Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Over 3" now with thunder, heavy rain and high wind continuing. Peak gust NNE 34 but I am sheltered in summer in that direction. Wind is just roaring through trees. Worst summer conditions i have ever seen past couple of hours. Near tropical storm conditions up here on the hill.

mreaves Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Oh how bitter a pill this would be in winter. The news shows that we have had about .75" after being progged to get much more as late as yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Rain letting up but wind continues to roar, most impressive summer storm for duration I can remember. Only worst conditions I have seen is Hurricane Gloria in Boston. Just checked, 25% of town is now without power and 50% of Hebron next town west is now out.

My neighbor lost a tree on the edge of his yard. Not sure if it was wind, soft ground, or lightning related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, it was legit windy here with a gust or two likely into the 30's and the power flickered a couple times but was a few steps away from damage like that.

eekuasepinniW Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Didn't even know I was missing wind around here. Going to have to take my disappointment up a notch, maybe two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Probably a LLJ thing where you get funneling? Were the strongest winds always NNE or was that a mesoscale thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Rain about over 3.22". Just took a quick ride down off my hill but the road is blocked with a large tree and powerlines down. Road is just covered with branches and leaves. There was quite a bit of lightning and thunder and wind for a couple of hours. Usually wind like this is just a quick minute or two with a gust front but this was much more like a summer nor easter with pounding precip and high winds for a couple hours. Great storm!

dendrite Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Probably a LLJ thing where you get funneling? Were the strongest winds always NNE or was that a mesoscale thing? Mine were mostly N-NE. I took a peak at that downed tree through the binoculars and I'm leaning lightning now...it looks shattered/splintered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news shows that we have had about .75" after being progged to get much more as late as yesterday. I'm not up at home but the obs look less than impressive to say the least. Like 0.25-0.75" rain.

powderfreak Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 BTV getting into the deformation zone though... half inch of rain in the last two hours. That's decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 BTV getting into the deformation zone though... half inch of rain in the last two hours. That's decent.Yeah, started raining harder here too. In winter, we'd probably end up with like 8"-10" while Dendrite and others were cresting 20". We would then have to here that we shouldn't complain yada, yada, yadda.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 wonder how many waterspouts I missed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 These will need to be updated...but BTV put together a nice visual map of the rainfall totals through early evening: I guess the NNY rainfall did pan out...I had been going by what the SLK ASOS was reporting, but for whatever reason SLK is by far the low standout in that area.

J.Spin Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 It was still a steady light rain at the house when I left this morning, but heading to Burlington resulted in a dramatic change – there’s a good amount of clear sky and a crisp, dry feel to the air. One very telling visual is that the clouds are those fall-like stratus clouds vs. the more cumulus types that are common with warmer weather. The wind is currently from the northwest, so that early fall feel isn’t surprising, and temperatures are expected to be on the cool side today per the BTV NWS discussion: FAIRLY DRY MID LEVELS POST- FRONTAL PASSAGE SHOULD PRECLUDE PRECIPITATION THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY UNTIL DEEPER MOISTURE FILLS BACK IN LATER THIS AFTERNOON IN ADVANCE OF APPROACHING SHORTWAVE ENERGY. FAIRLY COLD TEMPS ALOFT ONLY AROUND +5C AT 850MB ALONG WITH PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP TEMPS WELL BELOW NORMAL FOR MID AUGUST WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 60S.

tamarack Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Had a quick trip yesterday to look at some state lands just west of CAR/PQI. Nice PC day there, but I fully expected a challenging drive south thru the storm. Only sporadic light rain until 7:30 PM, 20 minutes after I got home, then came the downpour - storm total 2.60" as of 7 this morning (and not much after that), but lots of 3-4" reports nearby, and up to 6"+ for PWM and a few places just north of there. Only moderate winds for my area, though there were significant power outages to the south, whether from wind, lightning, flooding, or AOTA I don't know.

Allenson Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 1.19" at my pad yesterday. Just about right actually--we've been a little dry so a nice soaker without the gully-washers fit the bill quite well. Little touch of early fall out there today...

dendrite Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 2.52" was the final total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 It was definitely a solid soaking here and it is nice to see some cooler weather. My goal this winter is not to be the ass I became last year LOL. All in all March ended up being solid. Bring on the fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Fraid so - got tired of seeing my snow total in the bottom half of KevInMA's table, behind all those CT/MA peeps (and everyone else in Maine, too.) Mid-Feb onward, foothill force came to the fore.
