BombsAway1288 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Easily the best thunderstorm in metro Boston in at least the last 5 years. Nonstop thunder and lightning for over an hour. Then the torrential rains came with good wind. Haven’t seen a light show like that in at least decade and it continues to my NE along the north shore. Awesome night 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s crazy how that persistent upper level trough over the Great Lakes and the high moisture/dews/PWATS surging north ahead of it, just keep converging over the same areas. Its like upper level dynamics and associated energy rotating through frequently, jet structure, deep moisture, and even local triggers like terrain… there has been no shortage of reasons for the air to rise and take advantage of this sustained moisture feed out of the south. The low heights in the means to the immediate west, with higher than normal heights persisting just to the east… the battle ground for three weeks has been right where the heaviest rain has fallen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Looks like some CoC weather for a few days to help dry things out. Then some decent heat later in the week. I would not mind that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like upper level dynamics and associated energy rotating through frequently, jet structure, deep moisture, and even local triggers like terrain… there has been no shortage of reasons for the air to rise in the mid/upper levels to truly take advantage of this sustain moisture feed out of the south. The low heights in the means to the immediate west, with higher than normal heights persisting just to the east… the battle ground for three weeks has been right where the heaviest rain has fallen. It’s a red flag for me as we approach the peak of tropical season. We get more Great Lakes cutoff lows in August and there’s going to be a legitimate threat along the east coast/Atlantic Canada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The precip pattern, influenced by the large scale synoptic pattern, has looked like a “hugger” in the means. I won’t lie, it occurred to me too that if this was late summer, we could probably get something to come up and ride the periphery of the mean GL trough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I had friends who were at the harbor Pavilion in Boston tonight and the show got cut short due to heavy rain and lightning. They were pissed but I think standard policy is a 30 minute hold when there is lightning nearby. Reports that the Silver Line bus tunnels had several inches of water in them but service kept moving.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 My yard is a little over 12" of precipitation this month with a week left to go. Fortunately it looks dry. I need to go back and check but I think I have had over 18" since June 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Sucks, looks like they were going to miss and they just fired right back up. Guess that’s the kind of summer we are having. Absolutely drenched walking back to the car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 2 hours ago, mreaves said: 15.19” on my PWS, 15.46” on my neighbor’s one street over. The eastern slopes of the Greens, in central sections have been Ground Zero IMO. Also some spots of the eastern slopes of the Berkshires. The 10-16" zone is highlighted along the Spine of the Taconics, Berks, Greens and into the larger scale eastern side uplift. In VT it includes the Spine and eastern hills, Orange Hills, into NEK. The SSE low level flow meeting with WNW energy aloft... time and time again. ORH Hills down to Tolland Hills are going to precipitate on that SSE low level flow. The zones getting the max drench all month definitely fit a distinct pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rain delayed it for severe weather for like 45 minutes, and as soon as he came back on it started pouring with flashes again. As we were leaving he started playing a song that was towards the end of his set list so I wonder if it was sigfnicantly shortened just to get it done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
