Getting into the danger zone. 
 

1.27” today here. 0.11” yesterday.

Ground is absorbing now rather than all running off. 5.13 damn modeling has another 3 here

Zilch here still. Will see what tonight/tomorrow brings but not loving the radar look at all.

Zilch here as well - I can see how this stays north of us. Like 10 miles north - so close.

This Sox fan is one of them.  He’s a very likeable guy.  He’s earned respect too… he’s like a Jeter in that regard that he’s immune from the Red Sox fan base hate that comes with the rivalry.  Certain players transcend that.   I hope Judge gets it.

Back up in VT now… a few hundredths maybe?  Was raining the whole way most of the time until about Montpelier.  Dried out last 20-30 min of the ride.

.33 here today. Most of the time it was light. Just enough to keep me from going to the golf course.

Raining nicely here.   Gonna be a great drink.

This is goddamn infuriating. All of southern NE getting lit up, and we can barely pull off a few drops. WTAF.

Driving down 95 by Lake Saltonstall, the whole hillside was dull oranges and reds. I've never seen such widespread color this early. Trees are stressed, man. If we don't get some decent rain soon, it's going to cause problems.

I was at Trillium Saturday south of Scooter. That area is 50% brown and yellow

Man, nice shot! I missed that by an hour on the Fishers ferry this afternoon. The sky north of NL did look like the apocalypse though.

I need you to rain tonight and tomorrow morning or I’ll need to eat crow.

My father says they are around 2” but most of that fell within an hour this morning.

[weatherwiz]

Drought lol

Models have it raining into tomorrow afternoon so we’ll see.

NAM at 12pm

The GFS even has it going into late afternoon/early evening?

Nah .. these events are very difficult to forecast . All Mets and all models struggled. No one has any idea where those narrow bands will form until they show themselves. You always need to be on or just south of the boundary to get those big amounts . This morning that was Woodstock to Charlton TH. When the sun came out here this afternoon, I thought maybe this area was next but it ended up moving south of me and stalling just north of Ginx into RI. Now you can see where it is along the south coast but north of most of the Cape. I would bet that SW CT area gets croaked at least for a period tonight

Yeah, I'm just getting impatient. I feel the same way when people report "first flakes" before me leading into a big snowstorm.

[Typhoon Tip]

Payin' attention ?     - up here in this "synoptic" rain shield this thing is intensifying markedly over the last 2 hours, with lots more 40+ dbz pixelation packing in

Yeah for the highest amounts for sure.  Scattershot in a way that it’s luck of the draw.

I still like the radar look for a more widespread moderate rain outside the 2-3”/hr stuff.  Everyone in CT should get over an inch by morning.  Seems to be filling in nicely?

Man if only, stuck under a boundary like this one in Arctic air. Crazy day here. Most in one day here ever.

Pretty sure we nailed the axis of heavy rain.

I’ve always thought 1-2” here . I’ve got quite a ways to go sitting at .31 now . But Yes. Still think can still at Least get up to or over 1”?

I didn’t see anyone nail it . Who had Cranston to Treehouse Charlton to Sturbridge?
