The latest siege of wet & stormy began last Friday, June 26, 2009. That makes today, Thursday July 2nd, the seventh day in a row with flooding here in New England. the heaviest rain today has been in southern and eastern New England, similar to what happened yesterday. This photo is from about 11 AM in Scituate Massachusetts, where the rain was falling at the rate of 5.1″ per hour. It only rained that intensity for a few minutes, but that is all it takes to put road under water. This same storm crossed Narragansett Bay, where rainfall estimates exceeded 3″ in less than an hour. A separate storm crossed Martha’s Vineyard with 2″ Diameter Hail at Lunch time. This is largest hail I have ever heard of there, resulting many cars needing a trip to The Autobody Shop for repairs due to hail damage. That storm raced across the upper Cape and into Capo Cod Bay, where lightning was reported all the way to Race Point, then on into the open Atlantic Ocean. This is rare due to the cooling effect of the ocean, it shows us how intense this stubborn upper level Low Pressure is. Read on for damage reports. See Danielle’s post below for more on our improved weekend weather forecast. A wind shift from east to west will really improve our weather.

I think many of us can agree that the past month was not ideal in terms of the weather - unless ofcourse you like unseasonably cool temperatures and wet conditions. But with June officially behind us now, the hope is for warmer and brighter days for July. Unfortunately, today isn’t showing much promise in respect to making some improvements. While there will be some peeks of sunshine here and there today, this just adds “fuel to the fire” so to speak in regards to thunderstorm development. We’ve already been tracking showers and thunderstorms early this morning across parts of southern New England, and trend this afternoon will be for more thunderstorms to develop from south to north.
Tomorrow, we finally get rid of the east wind that has been plaguing us for days. Winds will shift out of the southwest and temperatures will be several degrees warmer than they have been (but still running below average). The threat for showers and thunderstorms will continue though, especially in the afternoon. The good news? The holiday weekend shows signs of improvement… Continue Reading…
