An east west band of scattered thunderstorms, some heavy, has popped up from W of my area to offshore. I started hearing thunder a little while ago and now it is raining at varying intensities.

Even when I was little, I marveled at roofers in Texas. Granted, you'd hire them at the Lowes at 5 am and they'd be done by noon but still. That's a young man's job for sure.

A Flock of roosters just ran across The fairway.

We are ready with our Killington full passes, Epic mid-week value passes and Indy passes. As always, the goal is 100 days riding lifts this winter. Bring on the cold and snow!

12z GFS looks a bit more interesting with low pressure off the SE coast that gets squeezed northwestward as a sprawling area of HP in eastern Canada shifts southeastward into the Gulf of Maine. Verbatim it's glancing blow for southeastern parts of our region.

Not Cool dude. Why dont you just join Forkys discord and get to know how cool he is https://discord.gg/wZRHd8rTwN

Thanks. In case you didn’t see it, the map says it is vs 1991-2020 climatology.

Wow, I don't agree with this statement at all. Recent Julys have had mean minimum temperatures that are warmer than the mean 24-hour averages from past "cold" Julys. Probably after 2050, we will begin to see Julys where the mean minimum temperatures exceed the mean maximum temperatures from old-school cold Julys. For some reason, you only ever look and compare to the hottest years? For example, JFK's mean minimum last month was 72.7F. That exceeds the mean 24-hour average of 71.8F in 1956, 72.2F in 1996, 72.2F in 1965, 72.3F in 2000, 72.4F in 2001, and falls just shy of the 72.8F observed in 1976. It's probably just a handful of decades before JFK starts seeing low temperatures in July that exceed the mean maximum temperatures observed in cold Julys (e.g., 1956, 77.9F; 1996, 78.6F; 2000, 79.5F; and 1967, 79.7F). I don't think its too hard to imagine a future in 2060 where NYC looks more like Washington, DC of 2000-2020, where such low temperatures are common. I think it's significant when low temperatures are exceeding the mean of high and low from many past years. In the first 6 years after installation of the ASOS at JFK, there were 3 years in which the month of July had a colder mean temperature than this year's mean low temperature (1996, 2000, and 2001).

Not in the conversation but ... when was the last time the 30-year climate intervals were re-applied? It could be a cooler AO domain relative to a "new" data set/means therefrom. Just a plausibility

Parasitic Wasps are the best. They don't make nests, through. Nuking ticks with pesticides just makes them more resistant in the long-term. If you want less ticks in your yard, deter the hosts from being there.

rclab I think they should hire you to do the dos equis commercials!!

it's not really cooling, maxes have stabilized while mins are climbing so overall it's still warming.

One man’s car is another man’s big house. Stay well …….

and number 9 and number 10 too.

Holding in the upper 60's here-feels like October

Im in Wildwood NJ Chilly here

struck a nerve huh

"It's only summer." Just kidding. Actually, the weather today and this weekend is closer to "only summer" weather than the past 6 weeks. The mean minimum temperature of 68.2F at PIT last month was 0.8F higher than the mean average (avg. of max & min) temperature from 1976, and pretty comparable to the mean average temperature observed in 1960, 1984 & 2000.

I spent yesterday standing in full sun and brutal temperatures. I wanted to tie my plants up ahead of the storms. I got about an inch of rain but nothing the plants couldn't of handled. Today is cloudy and 70. I could of done it today. I almost died for nothing lol

I noticed many of those summers came after really hot summers: The top 5 most definitely.

70/60 down here...still a bit dewey.

These summer days under 80° have become a rarity over time.

You can even see the point where atmospheric changes start to swamp out the UHI signal. From 1970-2000, both sites show a small cooling trend, with NYC lows dropping 0.2F, while the Charlotteburg site saw lows drop by 0.7F during that timeframe. Hard to tell if the late 20th century cooling is a real trend or just an artifact from changing equipment/observation practices and site location. I'm not sure if that cooling trend is real or just manufactured by those non-climatic factors.
