Most of those are in Webster square. The old park theatre was also Webster square. That was by far the worst area hit over to Main St near and just south of downtown....and then over to southbridge st. Basically the areas closest to the blackstone river. Though ive seen pics of shrewsbury st totally flooded (where funky murphys is for those who don't know Worcester well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoth Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 4 hours ago, dendrite said: 11 days by Thursday It's interesting that the hours at 70 chart seems to follow a multiyear wave pattern of rising and falling dews for several decades. Do you think that is largely coincidental or could it be related to the state of the Atlantic perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 There’s definitely a decadal cycle to those dews and likely also a relationship to SSTs for the season. Likely a combo of both. We’ve had some warm SSTs offshore in recent summers. That definitely helps. The decadal cycle would speak to more of a long term deal like that graph shows where you have several years at a time with higher or lower dews on average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
