Why, why, why do the storms always miss my area? It seems as though
from Boston south to around Marshfield/Duxbury the storms peter out.
Right now on the radar they're up north of me and down south of me
(I'm in Hanson) and a bit of rain headed my way....but it won't even
wet beneath the trees, I'm sure. Whyone know why this happens? We
haven't had worthwhile rain in weeks now (

posting here again.....

I dunno. Here in Acton, we seem to often be in a dry slot, both for
nor'easters coming up the coast and t-storms coming from the west.

Google for "gravity waves". Then post again here if you understand it.
I sure don't, but that's the answer I often get when I post something
similar to yours.

It seems that a lot of the tstorms coming across Mass seem to go down
the pike, and the area 20 mi north and 20 mi south don't seem to get much.

Even here near the pike, we've got a whole lot of nothing when it comes to
rain. Just that one torrential rain last week, that was gone as soon as it
started, and came down so hard that it all ran off instead of sinking in.

It must be gravity waves.

It's doing it *right now*!!! If you look at the radar you'll see.
I'm in Hanson, on the WeatherUnderground the radar shows the damned
storms dying down here by me, it's roaring to beat the band just to my
very north, In Rockland! Dammit! G

Hopefully some of the storms just west will make it.

And we've broken the pattern here in Framingham... we're in between two
cells-- one north and one south, and it's very bright out, almost sunny with
glints of sun and shadows, and yet pouring rain, although not so hard that
it just runs off. I can just see my gardens smiling.

Sorry, Ann!

Yeah, I was watching the radar and thinking of you.

Here in Acton we got about 20 minutes of a pretty strong thunderstorm -
lots of rain and lightning, not much wind. The temp dropped from 88 to
72 in half an hour.

Did you see a temp drop without the storms?

Yes, we did see a temp drop, too, Steve. It's now 74. We, too, only got
about 15 minutes of rain, but we didn't have the lightning or wind. We were
still in a slot between the cell that went through Hudson (and caused some
damage) and the cell south of the pike. But my gardens still appreciated
what it got.

Well, actually, shortly after I posted that, the southernmost part of
those storms did nail us, we got 3" very quickly - so you know most of
it ran off. But it did rain! G About time. It looks like there's
a few more going to hit tonight. A gardener wants regular rain,
though, not two months of drought and then a deluge!

Well, what can I tell ya, this summer's not been for you. Not just you,
but all over eastern Mass, there just hasn't been a lot of rain since
what, the beginning of June?

My grass is brown, my spring plantings need extra watering. I don't
think this is unusual for Mass. The last couple of summers, as I
recall, were unusually wet. Not this year, though.
