This isn't uncommon with heavier rainfall rates, how have the two compared in less tropical rains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're usually pretty close to each other... I think that's the biggest difference I've seen so far in the 7 months I've had the Ambient. I don't have the hard data to make any concrete statements, but it *seems* like duration has a bigger impact on precision than intensity with my setup. Like if it rains all day and night, the discrepancy between the two gauges is more significant than during just a quick-hitting deluge. Could just be making stuff up though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I guess I’ve gotten used to it, it hasn’t felt too bad to me, which is shocking since I can tell once the dew rises above 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 I don't want to say I've gotten used to it but I kind of have. I'd really rather it wasn't so high though but if it isn't going to rain often the plants need this moisture to do their thing so we sacrifice.

Juliancolton Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I've been acclimated to the humidity for a while, but my patience for it is starting to wear thin. Whereas a few weeks ago I would have powered through this stuff to keep my landscaping projects on track, now I'm happy just sitting in the AC and getting work done on the computer. It happens in the winter too... by the end of Feb I'll be "used to" the biting cold, just thoroughly sick of it. I've thought for a long time that the world would be a better place if we cycled through the seasons about 33% faster. Hopefully that dying MCV over the Catskills doesn't hamper instability in its environment for storms later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsonvalley21 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 You rarely see Orange County mentioned in SPC,s meso discussion. Watch hoisted till 9pm tonight. Mesoscale Discussion 1621 < Previous MD Mesoscale Discussion 1621 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1139 AM CDT Wed Jul 31 2019 Areas affected...Portions of the northern NJ...southern NY and much of New Enlgand Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 311639Z - 311745Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage over the next couple of hours and shift northeast across the Northeast U.S. These storms will pose a threat from strong, locally damaging winds, and a watch may be needed in the next hour or so. DISCUSSION...Strong heating ahead of a surface cold front was apparent in 16z observations from the mid-Atlantic into New England where temperatures in the mid 80s to low 90s were already being reported. Southwesterly low level flow is maintaining a very moist boundary layer, with surface dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s. The net result is a corridor of 1000 J/kg MLCAPE across the region. An MCV was noted in radar loops, approaching Albany NY as of 1620z. Thunderstorms were beginning to intensify on the southern flank of this feature across Ulster and Orange counties in NY, and Sussex county in NJ. Given the aforementioned downstream environment, continued intensification of these storms is expected. While effective shear remains modest (around 25 kt) some localized enhancement aided by the MCV is possible, and organized line segments capable of mainly strong, locally damaging wind gusts is possible as storms track east/northeast through the afternoon. Additional CU development was noted in visible satellite imagery across portions of CT into RI and MA where the strongest heating has occurred. A surface trough also was apparent in late surface analysis stretching from the Chesapeake Bay vicinity northeast into central ME. Convective initiation could eventually occur from the CU field, which appears to be co-located with the surface trough. Modest deep layer flow and midlevel lapse rates will temper more intense cells. However, high PW values and sufficient instability, combined with steepening low level lapse rates will support multiple bands of storms capable of strong, locally damaging wind gusts. A watch may be needed in the next hour or so across portions of the Northeast. ..Leitman/Hart.. 07/31/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
