Brainard Airport in Hartford has about 2/3 inch in the last 24 hours or so...to go along with the 2 inches a week ago Tuesday and anything else in between. No "d" word this week!

Grass never been so green this time of year. And was really browning up last week. No irrigation or sprinklers used.







SUNDAY BEST DAY OF THE WEEKEND!

Today, Tomorrow chances of rain continue and clouds and mugginess. Cold front Saturday with rain and clouds again..

Wet muggy pattern comes back next week.


No heat wave in sight! (maybe for a local spot or two)

Rain totals last 7 days. I see a swath of 4"+ in CT. Wow at DC, Balto, and PA.

This current line of showers: Not too heavy in Berlin, but more active once northeast of Hartford. Is this finally (Gasp!) the cold front?

Nope.. not "THE" relieving one. That's tomorrow.
This one is just a weakening cold front as the entire axis pushes off the coast finally.

And here it comes but.....Hope nothing severe this time.


Cold front coming across with Hot and Humid air mass ahead of it. Dews are still in the 70s here. Feels like 6 days straight now


NAM radar map for 6-7pm tonight places the line just west of here..


There may be pop ups scattered before the main line comes.

Max Dewpoints? Typical.




Minimum Dews? Interesting.

We haven't had this streak of muggy nights for 2nd half of July in a long time!

5 mornings in a row above 65°.

Got a free text alert about Thudnerstorm Watch posted.


And here we go.

1:25pm. Pop Ups forming. Thunderstorm Watches posted in oranges.

SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will develop in the next few hours and pose
a threat for some wind damage and severe wind gusts, as well as
marginally severe hail. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is likely.


DISCUSSION...Strong heating to the east of a cloud shield over the
northern Appalachians and western Catskills has led to thunderstorm
development along a weak trough/differential heating boundary.
Sufficient deep-layer shear should support some storm organization
in the form of small bowing segments and discrete cells with
supercell characteristics, and steepening low-level lapse rates
within upper 60s to low 70s dewpoints should support the threat for
some damaging winds and severe wind gusts, with some severe hail
potential in any rotation that can persist in the discrete storms.
The coverage of the severe threat is likely large enough to need a
Severe Thunderstorm Watch in the next hour.

I have to tell you, I was waiting for Channel 3's Bruce De Priest to say the "D" word in his broadcast last night. He is notorious for throwing it around and how when one month has lower than average rainfall it heightens the chances of a drought. Come on now. Jay
