But yeah, 1982 seems like a big year for many
But then I wonder what happened which made Bridgeport (and everything to the north/east of it) so epic but just 50 miles or so to the south/west it was simply a "somewhat rainier than normal month" that didn't even crack the top 10. I don't think it's simply "more years of record to be in the top 10" as these are all amounts well over 10" that are way above the stations' individual "#2" amounts.

It probably moved a lot more northward than they expected; the original forecasts had much of yesterday and today being "washouts".

Are any models thinking different for the long term? I noticed that AccuWeather and the Weather Channel seem to now only show a "small chance" on the 4th itself, and nothing after that on their long range (I'm only looking at "10 day", not AccuWeather's ridiculous 30-day forecast). NWS seems to be showing what you describe the whole way through though.

Not sure but as usual good catch and question. I'm thinking the Jet stream was positioned north of NYC?

No, pretty much status quo. 4th is going to be like today. I think the driest part of all the days coming up is morning. Then convection and rain chances increase throughout the day. Sunday night looks like guaranteed rains again.

These storms will never be predicted by the models or us. They will happen anywhere and anytime, so I hope I dont hear "what happened, it didnt rain today". Just know the chances are there every single day from now on.

Check it out.. June 1982. I think I might be right regarding the way the Jet Stream was and how the moisture was riding along it.

The blues normally should be in Canada in June and flatter.

NWS NY says lightning and hail with that cell in CT. Dont be fooled by the size. These small cells are packing a punch sometimes. Did you guys see what happened in upstate NY?

Temperatures really haven't been that bad along the shoreline. I am in Branford about a 1/2 mile from the shore and there has been such a nice onshore breeze. Look at the temps on the map you posted. Much cooler in Southeast CT.

Here is a great wind map that shows the hot/humid air being pumped into CT. Also shows the great onshore breeze the shoreline has been getting.

Yeah, I've been noticing that too and pretty impressed how SouthEast CT stays cooler. In fact look at the heat waves. Groton stayed in the upper 70s to mid 80s.


Here's GFS rainfall total next 7 days from TWC
