Heavy drizzle in the NECN gauge this morning makes this the 9th day in a row with at least a trace of rainfall, and 11th of 13 days with rainfall so far this month of June 2010. Thankfully this rain is not coming with storm force wind as was the case in June 2009. This June our tomato garden is liking this rain because we have some sunshine on each the wet days.
This weekend seems to have more outdoor events than any weekend so far this year. How many graduation, bar mitzvah, wedding, baseball, soccer & motorcycle week events are there?? You don’t have to answer. In new Hampshire we have motorcycle week, including the 87th Annual Loudon Classic, 27 motorcycle races in three days at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon New Hampshire.
The races are on rain or shine. Kristen Costa at NHMS says the rain makes the races more interesting as rain tires are used to get a grip. Likewise the New England Longboard Classic at Nantasket Beach in Hull Massachusetts is also rain or shine (or drizzle or fog). Competition begins at 10 AM as the tide comes up, the break goes down, but it will be fun. Don’t know how to surf, but want to learn? Join the Hull Summer Surf Camp offered this summer by my surf buddy- Kyle Shaw.
Surfers are asking about the Hurricane season. Last week we talked to Dr. Phil Klotzbach about the hurricane forecast, but I forgot to give you the link to the 47 page scientific paper issued by the Colorado State University team.
Started by Long Range Hurricane Forecast Pioneer Dr. William Gray 27 years ago. Here is the link to our 9 minute phoner, and here is link to their forecast PDF. Issues such as seasonal analogs, Gulf Oil Spill, CO2 & Climate Change, and Climate Change impact on Hurricanes are all discussed by two New England bred forecasters (me & young Phil).
As for near term weather.. even this is a huge challenge. We forecast 80° for Hartford CT yesterday, the high was 70°. Yes it hurts to miss by 10° on a 8 hour forecast. This is the nature of forecasting, we often get it wrong. Especially here in New England. Last week at this time it appeared this weekend would be hot for us. But instead we have low pressure on a front south of New England. This induces a low level easterly flow from off the ocean. We fell the moisture and ocean chill. In northern New England sunny break are allowing temps to rise into the 70s, but with clouds and drizzle south, we are stuck in the 60s. Wind will shift from east to west tomorrow ahead of another cold front from Canada. We are in a warm air mass (above the low level ocean chill) so this west wind will warm us to near 80°. The front will ignite showers and storm tomorrow afternoon. New fresh air from Canada blows in for Tuesday, with low humidity, sunshine and mild temperatures. Then like clockwork (same as last week) a low will cross southern New England late Wednesday with cool rain at night before the wind comes in from the west Thursday. Then we should be in summer warmth for at least a day or two before the next triple point low arrives at some point Saturday or Sunday or Monday. Will we break our new streak of rainy weekends? Definitely maybe. One thing I do know.. it will surely be interesting.
7 PM Tornado Watch Canceled.
Tremendous damage second day in a row, 4th time this week.
The storm that rattled Boston at 4 PM with 68 mph gust at Logan, went right over NECN. I saw the swirling base of the Giant Cumulonimbus, but no damge here in our Wells ave Office Park.
But the same storm caused the damage in these photos taken by Tom Langford.
House in Revere Lost the Roof!
On Beacon Hill, these residents could not believe what they saw after the 5 minute storm roarded down West Cedar Street.
They also could not believe no one was hurt in this neighborhood.
Mike Gordon seems to be proud to stand in the flooded Medford Massachusetts Street.

The Updraft front Side of Cumulonimbus that knocked down trees from Connecticut to Boston Today.
Tom Lanford called it a ‘funky’cloud.
3:30 PM
Major line heavy lightning wind hail.. possible tornado, along route 84 east of Hartford, running northeast 55 mph, at Boston Metro west along route 84 East of Hartford
3 PM
So far no Tornados.
Here are links to storm damage reports..
11:30 AM Update
Here we go again. Tornado Watch # 272 is issued for Southern New England in effect until 8 PM.
A Watch means Tornadoes may happen.
A Warning means Tornado is happening.
.
Given the dynamic of today’s event, we may not be able to tell the difference between Tornadoes and Severe Storms with straight line wind. It does not really matter that much, each type will be a swirling mass of Rain, Hail, Lightning, and wind gusting past 70 mph. Individual cells are moving northeastward at 55 mph.
That storm movement is so fast it will be nearly impossible to track any individual tornado. Better safe than sorry.. deem them all as violent and take cover.
Back to 7 AM Discussion
The Tornado count is 48 from yesterday, June 5, 2010, mostly from Iowa to Indiana.. One tornado was reported in New England, at 2:27 PM in Craftsbury Vermont. The same cell that crossed New Hampshire and Maine, warranting tornado warnings in Maine, with a funnel reported in Minot at 5:42 PM. The storm stayed on our radar all the way into Casco Bay at 7 PM.
Hopefully, but unlikely, today will be a little quieter. When i arrived to work at 4 AM, we had ongoing tornadoes in Ohio and Pennsylvania, never a good sign to have sunrise tornadoes. The bulk of this energy translates through New England from 1 to 5 PM today. Unseasonably strong (996 mb) Low pressure will traverse Northern New England this afternoon. We are not as warm today, so maybe we do not get tornadoes, but we surely get a line of severe storms south of the low center. For northern New England flooding rain is the big concern, for southern New England, lightning, wind and rain are all a threat.
Be prepared to take cover as storms race through at 45 mph, with gusts to 75 mph.

Here are storm reports from Today, sunday June 6, 2010. The same storm system that killed 7 in the tornadoes to our west the last two days.

All streaks have to end at some point. We are breaking a streak of great weekends today. The meteorological calendar summer is June, July, and August. So we made it through spring with record warmth and beauty. Now our first weekend of summer has flooding rain with powerful thunderstorms. Here is a map from National Center for Environmental Prediction Severe Storms Prediction Center. We are at risk for severe weather today and tomorrow. If you click on the NCEP SPC link, you will see lists of warnings. Click on warning to see where the strongest storms are. Click on storm reports to see where the most damage has occurred. Watch our radar to see when the storm is near you, and when it passes. The wettest part of the weekend is Saturday Morning and most of Sunday. That leaves Saturday evening and Sunday Night as potentially drier. But when added all up, we are getting 2″-5″ of rain in much of the region. Flooding and storm damage may be widespread.
Every New England town has a Memorial Park, and likely a Plaque with names of our citizens that have fought for all of our Freedom. The weather forecast for a walk to the Town Memorial Park Plaque, is sunshine and warm air. Though a cloud and shower may pass (even a t.storm), the brief shadow is timed well for a moment of silence. Read some names, ask around if anyone knows the people listed.
The temperature is near 80 today, likely closer to 90 tomorrow. Memorial Day Monday looks sunny with a high in the 80s west, 70’s east, and 60s at the east facing shore.
This park in Cohasset is adjacent to the Sons of The American Legion Healing Field. More photos below. Feel free to let us know about your event, we can give a forecast just for you.

Meet Ken Merrill, his surf season is year round. When ever I need a surf partner, Ken is ready to launch. Does he look familiar? His surf report, ‘Hang Ten with Ken’ is posted at CapeCodOnline.com. “All you need to know about this weeks surf, in ten seconds”, says Ken.
On the backside of our Wednesday Nor’easter we met up at Coast Guard beach in Eastham on Thursday. Surf was waist to chest with a few head high breakers. More importantly, wind from the west pushed up the waves and the temperature. Water temps passed 50° last week, marking the start to season one, for three season surfers like me. We wore 3.2 mm suits with gloves and booties. Ken is training for his June 20th Iron relay on Nantucket. The other Surf fund raiser I mentioned on NECN this morning is the Cape Cod Bay Challenge, for Christopher’s Haven, on August 14th. We will have more on these fun fundraisers as they close in.
Surf is down this weekend, but a new storm is brewing north of The Bahamas today, that may bring a groundswell to our south coast by Monday or Tuesday.
Keep an eye on the Morebeach.com cam at Coast Guard Beach in Eastham Massachusetts for fog this weekend, and possible swell early in the new week.
The reason I chose Coast Guard for surf the other is, one, you can not beat the sandy, beach/bar breaks of The National Seashore on Cape Cod, and two, I wanted to see the web cam. The cam is in the top window of the 2nd dog house from the right in this former rescue building. This man is Park Ranger Dennis (did not get Dennis’ last name), from Dennis.
Retired from 3 decades teaching at Nauset HS, he now works for the Park May-June, then surfs July-September, and spends winters at Killington. Dennis is The SurfSki Park Ranger. I am the SurfSkiWeatherMan at Twitter. I told Dennis the story of my introduction to The National Seashore in 1973. Our entire 5th Grade spend a week in this very same old Coast Guard Station. This is when I began to understand the shifting Sands of Cape Cod of the last 17,000 years since the Cape was formed at the terminal moraine of the Wisconsin Ice Sheet, and retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in the late Pleistocene geological era. Enough history, let’s go back to the future.
Today we have High Pressure to our east with Low Pressure to our west. Wind is air moving from high to low pressure, so that means we have long east and southeast fetch from the Ocean. Dewpoints are rising to the same temperature as the Ocean, mid 50s, so fog and low clouds become more widespread with this set up. Also we have the old Midwest storm moving toward us aloft (southeast wind near the surface, west wind high in the sky), with higher clouds and a few showers. This leaves us with a split decision for the weekend, high altitude clouds and highs near 80 well inland, fog and lower clouds developing near the shore, where temperatures are in the the 60s.
As decaying low pressure arrives from the west, we may have a flare up of showers as the weak trough interacts with moisture from the east. So showers are possible/probable from New york City to Southern New Hampshire Sunday and Sunday Night. Also, we have a set up for fog and drizzle tonight and tomorrow in eastern Massachusetts.
The powerful storm with heavy wind and late season snow moves from the Rockies into the plains of central Canada, this pushes heat into the Great Lakes and Eastern Canada and New England. This warm to hot air arrives Monday, though the coast may still be cool. Tuesday and Wednesday look like summer for us. Then another back door cold front crosses north to south late weds, with a a few showers. Cooler, dry air is here Thursday. BY Friday we have another warm front with low pressure into Ontario, a few thunder storms and warmer here. Also by Friday, an extra-tropical storm is expected to have formed and passed from south of Bermuda, westward to near South Carolina. That storm should send a nice Groundswell to our south coast for Tuesday, and the rest of the week.
The early call on memorial Day Weekend is not so nice. We have a trough reforming in the east, braking our heat again. And if the E.T. storm to the south is still around, we could end up with a weekend storm. Even if the southern E.T. escapes east, to the south of New England, we still have a front with thunder storms (or more) possible next weekend. Sometime it’s nice to have Weekdays off 
.
Here are few more pictures from the location where Ken Merrill, and I, and 1000s of other young students spent a week long class trip, nearly 40 years ago.
Another coincidence was meeting Darren Austin of Westerly Rhode Island, on his first session in Eastham. He and I each earned meteorology degrees at Lyndon State College Vermont, and had never met before this day. Nice to meet you Darren, good luck to you at your new job at RIDOH.

Happened on the Grain Boards demo Van, out of York Beach Maine.
A Scintillating Sunday Sunset is forecast for tonight, May 16, 2010. Perhaps you have heard that one before..
Looking for Venus and the Moon last night, we were disappointed to see mostly altocumulus and even some nimbostratus.
That was a ’spoke of energy’ rotating ’round the backside of the old Newfie Low Pressure system, part of the persistent North Atlantic Block.
That block is sending powerful wind and another altocumulus cloud through eastern Maine today. But for most of New England, we have much drier air today, with blue sky fading to starry black as the sun sets at 8 PM. We should have a spectacular set up with Venus near conjunction with the crescent moon. Then at about 8:24 to 8:27 the we will see the Space Shuttle docked at the International Space station race by to the north of the Moon/Venus paring.
Last night, Dennis Mammana photographed the display from Borrego Springs, California, shared with us by Dr. Tony Phillips of SpaceWeather.com. Visist Spaceweather for more on the ISS timing and placement for your zip code.
At noon time today we are half way through the month of May 2010. So far we have endured Severe Storms, Record warm, record cold, and even a few inches of snow in our mountains. Today we are right in the middle, of the month, and the weather variety. Low pressure in Maine is deepening as it pushes offshore and eventually wraps into the nearly perpetual Canadian Maritime low, part of the North Atlantic Block. The North Atlantic is only slowly warming this spring, the water temperature off Cape Cod is 51°. Here is the ocean view from one of my favorite Cams, MoreBeach.com cam at Coast Guard Beach in Eastham Massachusetts.
Look at the size of that dog! As the early afternoon high tide ebbs, the air may warm to near 70 at the beach, but swimming weather, like tomato planting weather, is still a couple weeks away. Did you hear a thunder storms last night? Right after the Bruins lost Game 7, storms raced across New England, the ASOS at Boston Logan Airport recorded .45″ of rainfall from 0229 to 0254 hours GMT Saturday May 15, 2009, that’s 10:29 to 10:54 PM Friday May 14 to you and me. Hit or miss storms mostly missed, we could actually use some rain. here are May totals for a few New England stations.
Boston 1.71″
Worcester 1.39″
Providence 1.38″
Windsor Locks CT 1.21″
Bridgeport CT 1.71″
Burlington VT 1.17″
Rutland VT 2.15″
Concord NH 0.65″
Bangor ME 0.87″
Caribou ME 1.80″
Portland ME 0.69″
We are tracking a storm in Texas today, with flooding and severe weather from Houston to Saint Louis, and more snow in the Colorado Mountains. This storm will approach New England Tuesday night, but the Blocking pattern in the North Atlantic may boot that storm off to our south. From now until then we are technically on the cold and dry side of the front that passed last night. But the air flow from eastern Canada is not too cold, so we have chilly mornings, mostly frost free, and mild afternoons into Tuesday. Wind is gusting to 35 mph today and tomorrow, sending pollen flying through our New England atmosphere.
Yesterday we had severe storms on the warm side of the storm, today we have cold wind on the cold side of the storm. Most of New England is dry this Mother’s day, but not northern Vermont. Here is an image from green and snowy, Westford Vermont at 11:30 AM this May 9, 2010. This Westford Weather Net cam is one of the many cams available through the National Weather Service Burlington Vermont.
While on the subject of May Snow in New England, do you remember what happened 33 years ago today?
Answer below.. but we would love to hear your story too.
I was in South Dennis, we had a half hour of sleet mixed with the rain.
But the highlands of the northeast got record late heavy snow, 20″ in Worcestor County.
NWS (then at Logan) Boston had the latest measurable snowfall on record.

It is a rare day when we wake to thunderstorms at sunrise in New England, but it happened today, Saturday May 8, 2010. Many communities were hard hit by lightning fires, and one man died when struck by lightning while fishing on the coast in Bridgeport Connecticut.
Somewhere in this Hazecam.net view from Swampscott across Nahant, is the city of Boston, and Fenway Park. The heavy gray will go away, then comeback again, but we should have baseball today.
Really though, ‘Training Thunderstorms‘ is the expression we use to describe storms that are racing by, but seem to never end. One after another storm forms over the same location for a number of hours. Some of our worst flooding occurs when we experience training thunderstorms. But fortunately for us, these storms are rather small, and are moving 50 mph from west to east. So most rainfall amounts are in the order of one half to two inches. Localized flooding is occurring, but we should not have widespread big time flooding. Another helpful factor is the dew point staying below 60° so far. If we have training storms with a dew point warmer than 65°, then we get the big time flooding, not today.
This map from The National Weather Service shows our Low Pressure.
A dry slot will move into New England this afternoon, with breaks of sunshine, then another shower and squall moves by as low pressure gets into Vermont. Part of southern New England may get into the warm sector this afternoon, but for most of us, the highs are in the 50s.
An unseasonably strong (read cold) upper low is crossing New England today. At the surface we have a 992 millibar low in Vermont, with a secondary low forming on the triple point over the Gulf of Maine, deepening to 988 mb in New Brunswick tonight.
As the Gulf low intensifies, so does our wind. Wind advisories are posted for New England tonight, with gusts past 50 mph for a time this evening, then we have gusts to 45 mph or higher tonight and tomorrow. We are on the cold side starting tonight, with snow levels coming down to 2000 feet in the mountains. This is not a good Tuckerman’s ravine weekend. The temperature on Mt. Washington may get to 10° F late on Mother’s Day. High temperatures tomorrow with reach the 50s in lower elevations. Snow showers in the mountains will end, for the most of us the day will be mostly cloudy, but mostly dry.
Lighter wind tomorrow night will allow for rotational cooling, with a frost and freeze likely on Monday and Tuesday morning. We are on the cold side of the front most of this week. Another low passes with a period of rain Tuesday Night into Wednesday.
Damage Reports are coming in tonight.

It seems every time we have a weatherman meeting in New England, we also have some sort of cyclogenesis at the same time.
On March 13, as we said farewell to Don Kent, we had one of the worst storms in years. Today we had a Severe Weather Watch issued during our lunch. Josh, the youngest in the group, informed us of this thanks to his smart phone. If not for Josh we may not have noticed the Thunderhead forming outside the window in Salem New Hampshire at 2 PM today, May 4, 2010.
Lunch ended just in time for us to do some storm chasing. All we had to do was drive home. Finest kind.
Here are a few shots of the day.

Can you name any of the Meteorologists?
Here’s a head start, First Names:
Bruce, Pete, Joe, Josh, Bob, Fred, Tim (not in order)
Cyclogenesis today spun up a 999 millibar center near Caribou Maine at Sunset. Very unstable air racing overhead created storms with wide spread damage thoughout the Northeast.
Including Salem NH, near that thumbnail photo at the top of this post.
