One of the main reasons I vacation to block island every year. The water here sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very quiet and relaxing, they have a few shops too open during the summer. I like the Cape beaches on the bay from Yarmouthport out, or from Brewster out on the ocean side, and Western Rhode Island to about Madison in CT. As a general rule. There are exceptions each way, however...like a fun little mud hole called Woodneck Beach in Falmouth, where the youngsters can play in tidal pools and chase crabs and eels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a true bargain to pay $50 or $100 to spend the day at a beach without overcrowding and riff-raff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one in Miilford (Silver Sands or something) which isn't a terrible beach. It gets super crowded. The water can be ehhh but during the low tide cycle there is a small little "island" you can walk out too. Just have to be aware though because once high tide starts kicking back in, if you're not a strong swimmer...better start hauling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a place if you're looking for relaxation. It's tolerable on a weekday or in the evenings. Clinton is up to $75 on weekends for non-residents now I believe...and snack bar not operating this summer. If you don't have a lot of gear and don't mind a walk...you can go to Point Bluff State Park in Groton and it's about a mile or so walk to what's typically a nearly deserted stretch of beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She lives on the road to Bass Hole, about a tenth of a mile from the boardwalk. Flamingoes are quite adaptable to cold weather and can be found in cold climates, including the Andes in SA where they will gather in frigid and icy ponds. As their numbers continue to rise, we will likely see more and more of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should over the next 90 minutes, according to water vapor images. There was a blob of cloud over CT that pushed in earlier, for much of the morning, pushing east and dissipating. Full sun here in Western CT now, heating up fast. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Strong heating is going to be a key today given the very poor mid-level lapse rates and the warm mid-level temperatures. Low-level lapse rates aren't too bad (7-7.5 C/KM) with RAP even generating pockets of 8 C/KM. This isn't bad when looking for wind potential, however, 2-6km lapse rates need some work. Wind shear is more than sufficient (30-40 knots of effective/bulk shear) to get storms to organize. Getting dewpoints more in the 73-74F range would go along ways, however, not sure if we see much dew point pooling today. Basically this would be a difference between more localized severe and something more along the lines of a swath of wind damage reports. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
