i'm at a friend's in georgetown and i have never seen this many mosquitoes in my entire life

I think he left because he was mad about being 5 posted. I was glad to see Liberty finally return last week. He said it was only a temporary return, but I told him that I hope he stays. 5 posts per day is certainly enough to be a strong contributor here. He's still posting so it seems as if he has decided to stay -- hopefully that's the case.

Only 0.01" here today. I was surprised when they issued the watch for us today. It looks like isolated storms tomorrow afternoon. I would think that SPC should upgrade us to a marginal risk for tomorrow.

Followed the forum for a while, just recently logged on. What’s the profile picture? Is it you, it’s not doing any favors

00z NAM went apeshit for tomorrow night and Wednesday. Hope it's wrong...

85 with 55-60 dews. Same lovely Aug wx here too.

0.0

Yeah I was right somehow managed only 0.11.... Up to 4.30 now since late May...

86 for the high. DP held between 58-61 which made for a nice day.

I'm wondering about that and also in the 2:43 PM IWX AFD they mentioned signs of the boundry pushing south into central Indiana tomorrow.

Below is the climate summary for West Chester for the decade of the 1880's with data now back to 1871

Just measured 3 inches of rain in the bucket. Needed that.

I have new flows coming all over my property this summer.

I really dont rank summers by average temperatures, summers should be ranked by extreme temperatures, length of heat waves and number of heat related deaths. With that said I offer up my own list and 1936 is definitely near the top but there are several other extreme summers right up there with it. I'll do mine in chronological order. 1896 1911 1914 1936 1944 1948 1953 1955 1966 1977 1980 1983 1988 1991 1993 1995 1999 2002 2010 2011 Special mention needs to be given to the 11 year cycle which often include the hottest summers of their decade (1911, 1944, 1955, 1966, 1977, 1988, 1999, 2010).

good lord

I've been saying this for a long time I'm quite excited for the next two summers, my analogs are 1966, 1983, 1999 and 2010 for quite obvious reasons. If the el nino is as strong as the one in 1998 it may actually take two years for all that extra heat to be released so our extra hot summers goals might not be fully realized until 2028. On top of this we are also cycling back to a drier climate like we had in the 1980s and 1990s, when we had some of our most extreme summers and longest heatwaves, something I saw coming from a few years ago. The El Nino will only be a minor speed bump in that trend no matter how historic it is.

Well if you dont know science you'd consider it whacked out. Putin has openly stated he's preparing for Siberia to become the world's new bread basket and he's quite excited about it and if you'd look at a map of what parts of the world are warming the fastest you'd definitely agree. And you don't think Trump wants Greenland only for military reasons do you? As far as sunsets are concerned I've lived in many parts of the world and there is nothing like the colors you see in a desert sunset bar none. As far as locations one might want to live are concerned my main interest is astronomy and for that you want to get away from the ocean, water vapor is nothing more than an air pollutant that traps other air pollutants close to the ground and creates annoying and unhealthy haze. I spent decades living by the ocean so I know. The best place to live for low air pollution and the clearest skies is up in the mountains why do you think that's where the world's greatest and largest observatories are located and where the lowest asthma rates are?

Pretty beefy RAOB this evening from DVN.

Thanks again Mike I am in the process of having the data reviewed it looks like I can add 21 years of raw data to West Chester 2NW to now include 1871-1892 thank you!! It looks like that's the only Chesco site on there....I know there were older obs at least back to 1888 for Coatesville 1SW on a summary basis not daily but if you find any other stations let me know. Really appreciate your help! Paul

That would've been great for interior Vermont... the picture for east of the Spine would be amazing with a radar site at MPV. Given the high terrain in northern New England, there really is no best spot. Ideally you'd have one east of the Spine, plus in the Champlain Valley, and another in the St Lawrence Valley... no matter the site, there are going to be limitations because of the terrain. Even if you put the radar site on Mount Mansfield, the beam is starting 4,000+ feet above the ground... when that beam will sample areas around it, the height will likely be even higher. Either way you are sampling 6,000ft+ in a lot of areas.

It’s a truly beautiful thing in winter, when light low level scans can be enough to produce 3-6” of powder. If it looks like a summertime line is coming, watch out.

Yes that was a massive ridge Tony but I wouldn't call that a heat dome. Based on past experience for a high to be a heat dome it has to be centered over land. A high centered over water becomes a humidity pump. It's why our hottest temperatures come from the west.
