Blasting past 3 inches now.

 

3.12"

 

The regular radar precip estimates are doing horrific.

Do you think Gene comes in at something like .33" and his pond remains dry?

My wife and I did some hiking and walking through the woods in the Holderness region two weekends ago.  I was struck (but not surprised) by how dry everything was AND the evidence of previous wash-out areas on many trails.  They do a very nice job protecting the paths/trails from wash-outs up there but they are going to be very challenged over the next week or so.  While the rivers will be able to accommodate any flash flooding issues I have to believe that there will be plenty of white water to be seen in the woods.  Good luck up there.

Hopefully those in the colonial times up in NNE have water to take baths now.

I can pump the water off my pool cover and truck it over to him if needed.

Took the dog for a walk locked myself out had to climb in through a window in the pouring rain ftl

[backedgeapproaching]

2.08 total so far.

Think there are some 4-5" totals south of ALB

[weathafella]

Good test for our basement in this abode. Pouring past 2 hours.

[TalcottWx]

Torrential stuff has started here in Andover.

[dendrite]

3.26"

[Spanks45]

1.25 here, not bad...based on what the radar looked like around midnight I expected a bit more than that.

[powderfreak]

Highest 2-day total I could find in VT is Underhill on the west slope of Mansfield with 3.97", including 3.5" in the past 24-hours on CoCoRAHS.

You can see the low and the frontogenic forcing right from western MA into SNH and ME. Pretty classic. A bit less of a convective look down in the WAA area/LLJ, so less robbing of moisture unlike previous events.

Nice convergence of the FROPA with that moist tongue moving up from the south over your area. Sort of double dipping in a way haha.

[Lava Rock]

Torrential

 

2.50" and counting quickly

Same here.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

I may be in the lead with 4.2" since last night.

Flood warning, some roads closed in Franklin Co.

Amazing aerial coverage of 2"+ storm totals from PA/NY into New England. Models weren't far off on entire regional geographic areas seeing 2"+ from Canada to the Atlantic.

If this doesn't bury itself in the MA like the GFS has, it would be a large widespread area getting more by the end of the weekend. Looks like periods of rain here for days potentially. 

[powderfreak]

Some CoCoRAHS spots in PA approaching 6".

Montgomery County, Maryland with a 6.54" in 24 hours. That would be a problem I assume.

[Damage In Tolland]

1.37

Hoping for at least 2 before everything sinks south of us thru the end of week

[ORH_wxman]

Looks like that second max will be in RI and SE MA with that plume of convection streaming in off the Atlantic. Already 2-3" there.

[CoastalWx]

Temps drop to near 0C at BOS at 900mb on Friday. That's what a 1046 high will do. Pretty good.

Yeah you can see it on radar estimates too. Pretty cool how you can take an educated guess on those second maxes happening given the LLJ/theta-e, despite some models underplaying that.

I didnt even look at 900mb but Friday/Saturday look damn chilly as that high presses in. First real sub-freezing air possible of the season for the picnic tables.

[CoastalWx]

I think one of the things getting underplayed is how stormy it could be on the Cape and perhaps cstl SE MA. If the rain moves in heavily again, you are talking wind driven rain with 40+mph winds, later tomorrow and Friday. GFS brings 45kt gusts potentially.

Will stay in the 40's in the hill towns of SNE Fri and Sat

Closest NWS station in Keene reporting 2.85" so far. I don't have a rain gauge here in Bratt,

 

I kind of wish I were still living in Providence with the threat of Joaquin looming. Hurricane Barrier gates closing? Waves should be epic and cleaning up early next week. Might have to plan a road trip!
