Yeah the "west fart" has been happening pretty consistently. Easterlies break down around 4-5pm and a quick spike follows. Easterlies broke down around 2:30 yesterday and KBOS spiked 6F in 5 mins

actually the water temperature in the harbor's up to 63 and change... and p-town out at the tip of the cape is 87 so - heh

The DP is 75 here and I'm wanting no part of it, 80+ is crazy!

LOL I was just looking at that. wtf chuck.

45 mins of E-SE now and still 32C

Yea that doesn't bode well for the next two days.

Just yesterday I had to chase off a wise mouth solar scum sales rep. I did ask him to leave the property twice but he persisted with the sales pitch..

We took a different path for solar. - Small house, at the bottom of a wooded hill with the southern exposure being shaded by trees. Neighbor's trees are part of the issue so even if we cut everything, it wouldn't be 100%. - Roof is set up with the biggest section facing north. - We have Eversuck (or Neversource) in New Hampshire so there were no state or utility rebates. The federal tax incentive definitely helped. - We went with Craftstrom, a company that sells what are essentially balcony solar / backyard solar panels. The inverters are set up so as to prevent back feeding into grid. Note: they try but our experience is that they are not quite ready for prime time. Whenever we have had an issue, they have worked to make it right. https://craftstrom.com/ - So no installation costs. We already had two phase in the garage for an EV. This drove down the costs substantially. - My partner is technically competent so when we needed new cables for a different position in the yard, he just built them. - Our house uses a lot of power (tech stuff) so we rarely make 100% of our power from solar but it does happen. - Looking at the current market rates for power https://www.energy.nh.gov/ENGYApps/CEPS/ResidentialCompare.aspx?choice=Eversource I expect that with higher rates than we have currently, we will move closer to breaking even. - We also put in mini-splits this fall and will do the math to determine whether power or oil is the best bet for winter heating. They're definitely more efficient on a/c.

And yet that clarity is bad. Mussels cleaning the waters of phytoplankton is harming the fish pops. The little ones depend on the plankton to survive. Just watched a YT vid on this issue. Sad story.

South wind can't be beat at DCA. They won't get the "goods" until the westerly component picks up tomorrow/Friday. Also when the atmosphere dries out a bit, yeesh.

111 heat index here currently. Absurd.

105 HI on the first day of a heat wave with a river wind is something else.

Logan's about to drop. They're around to the SE ... meager, only 10kts, but the Harbor being 59 F in the contact layer probably doesn't allow them to just sit at 90 with that wind direction. Question is, is the shed a few do they get 'em back around 6:15 with the late west city fart

Hey everyone, hope you all are doing well! I know I haven't been around much lately, just dealing with some changes. But anyway, came here to say that, yeah it's really hot. 99 already with a dewpoint of 76.

Temps are running on the low side of (the crazy) guidance but that is being overwhelmed by the DPs being higher.

93/72

Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of the SW Mountains.

Damn, already blew past the predicted heat index. Current conditions at Wilmington Airport (KILG) Lat: 39.67°NLon: 75.61°WElev: 72ft. Fair 95°F 35°C Humidity 54% Wind Speed S 7 mph Barometer 30.01 in (1016.1 mb) Dewpoint 76°F (24°C) Visibility 10.00 mi Heat Index 108°F (42°C) Last update 1 Jul 1:51 pm EDT

Day two has marginal risk in ky Virgina Carolinas Alabama Mississippi and slight risk in south east tn parts of Carolinas north Georgia northeast Alabama for tomorrow 5-15% wind and 5% for hail .

Probably need 10'' here to green things up in these parts.

I'd pay good money to have that cell over Allentown drift down the NE Extension. 96F/DP 78F

Euro isn't showing much for the 4th. Hopefully it will be dry for fireworks.

Plenty of them today
