Today was historic for me I think I’ve had a handful of 5”+ days but tough to come by. We did in 2010 and twice 2006 lol. Last year was the year of frequent 1-2” summer soakings.

Yes… correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t there some math and physics that show that as temperature drops the amount of water vapor that can be contained in the atmosphere is reduced? So you could never get 9” of rain in a twelve hour span when temps are that low… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Horrible drive fro new Britain to Springfield. Hydroplaned getting into the lane for 91N from 84E…scary. Drive up 91 was brutal…especially where there are no lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, I’ve been in that situation more than a few times when in the winter the heavy snow is just east, or south etc etc…we all know the disappointment to well.

Unfortunately, science won’t let my dream become reality haha. What you are describing is why late winter/early spring storms when we get them can be really big. It can be tough to do due to climo, but if we get a well timed cold blast, that combined with a lot more moisture to work with due to the warmer ocean temps can lead to some very big storms (March 1993, April fools blizzard).

powderfreak Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Pretty interesting how all day long the HRRR has moved the highest-end localized totals back to the SW along the boundary. The strongest convergence along that axis keeps heading west with time after hitting areas further northeast. The amounts were realized elsewhere, it should line up somewhere in SW CT. It started over NE MA early this morning, moved into far NE CT/S.MA, then PVD and east-central CT, and now progged to shift west into the southern CT/NY border region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send it Brett’s way…he’s hanging on by his last full finger nail. 1.68” for the day so far, intensity picked up the last 30min. Not looking good for dry basements in wct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol… I think we could see ginx level rain here and the sump pump wouldn’t kick on. Water table is low. I was hoping for a few inches, but will take what I can get. Enough to at least get the grass a good drink. Won’t do much for groundwater and lakes and streams though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
