Rain Totals So Far

Greg is up late working on Physics because he ran the Ras 5K today and then proceeded to drink many beers afterwards and rendering himself useless for anytime before 9pm tonight.

Nevertheless, it was a good time but very, very wet. Speaking of being wet, here are the wetness totals so far as collected by the NWS.

Some of these totals are a bit old, so expect to see higher numbers by the end of this, but a good range of 2-3 inches of rain for all of us. A bit lower than expectations but that still is a lot of rain in a small period of time and we are not done yet. Widespread reports of minor flooding.

Our storm is still sitting 80 miles south west of Nantucket moving sloooowly to the east. This slow movement keeps us in the rain for one more day. Expect a constant drizzle to moderate rain all day. Locations over 1000ft will see some wet snow towards the end of the day, as the storm pulls in some cold air.

There is a big pay off for all of this rain. Very nice weather next week starting on Tuesday lasting into the weekend. With every model run, the high temps keep increasing. Could be looking at some 60 degree readings! Hang in there. Just one more day.

Lastly, the NWS mesoscale site (http://w1.spc.woc.noaa.gov/exper/mesoanalysis/new/viewsector.php?sector=16&parm=pmsl#) gives awesome real time info for all kinds of variables. Great tool for storms like this one.
