CAPE

Sounds like here except with no winter. Well, umm, nevermind. It's the same.

Had a brief shower here about 30 mins ago. Sun broke through right after. .03" Few and far between for much of the region at this point. Maybe more later? My forecast says up to a half inch tonight. We shall see.

Turned mine on last night in anticipation of the rising dews. Legit mid summer day tomorrow.

Did you manage to stop at DFH when you were at the beach? The bourbon barrel aged WWS is second to none imo. I would take it every time over GI BCBS and many other similar BBA stouts. Looking forward to the Utopias version this Fall.

75/64 It be humid.

It went down easy and fast. Very good. 3 more to go, lol. Not tonight. I will buy this again.

I really dig the cinnamon notes in this. Works well with a choco stout imo. Reminds me of one I was getting a few months back- the name escapes me atm.

Yeah I simply wont bother with a stout that is under 8% generally. Its gotta be BIG- high abv and roasty/malty. Not at all a milk stout fan, other than the rare imperial ones.

Picked up a 4 pack of this today. Just poured one. Tasty. Alcohol is well hidden. Or maybe I have just been drinking too many WWS lately lol.

There is something fundamentally wrong with putting orange in a stout. NTY.

The tornado is literally sucking the photosynthesis products off the leaves.

Looks to me like there is abundant low level moisture- probably rained preceding the tornado. You can see indications of moisture condensing/rising in places above the trees well ahead of the actual funnel. Once the vortex gets closer, the suction induces stronger rising motions on the periphery, and the air quickly cools/further condenses as it is near saturation.

Looks warm and humid for the first part of the week. With a trough to the west and a ridge overhead, Tuesday will probably feel like July, with temps pushing 90 in the usual warmer spots.

56 this morning. Today will be much different than yesterday. Probably 80 or so.

Late week looks like a well offshore fish storm on the latest op runs and ensembles. Best chance of some decent rain will be mid week with the cold front. If that fails it may be time to get the sprinklers out.

How's the May snow lookin? Outside of maybe Canaan, and even there it usually isn't a big deal, odds of May snowfall is pretty much a zero for everywhere in the MA. I don't think the faux hand wringing over random silly op GFS runs is really necessary tbh, lol.

We really need another bomb cyclone sometime soon. Hopefully such a thing is still possible.

Just cracked open a DFH BBA WWS, after being outside doing yard work on this very pleasant day. Those who think it was "too cold/too windy" will be begging for a day like this 6 weeks from now.

Someone should start a thread. Not sure why exactly, but this has been posted in 3 different threads this morning.

This is the third thread I have seen reference to this, this morning lol. And this here thread is now obsolete.

^ A big coastal storm makes some sense I guess, as the blocking over Greenland is breaking down at that time. Archambault!

If the sun angle never got any higher than it is now, I might get my grass to actually survive here lol. As it is, I am at the beginning of peak lawn, which will last about 5 weeks before the wilting to thatch/burning to hell period begins.

Plenty of shredded leaves and small tree debris all over the place, but not seeing anything major. The strongest winds here occurred overnight. Winds have died down significantly this morning. Currently 45 and breezy. Looks like a pretty nice day for yardwork. Mid/upper 60s and super low dews.

Looks like the HL blocking(-NAO) will hang on for another week, then break down. Not that it means a whole lot this time of year- it can still get pretty warm with a block. The anomalous vorticity lobe rotating down and inducing this wind event is related to that h5 pattern though. With the pattern change, there will likely be less of the coolish (pleasant) days with NW breezes, and more frequent bouts of warmth and humidity by mid month. Ofc it largely depends on the location and strength/persistence of the upper ridging going forward.
