    Novel idea: grab yourself a reliable thermometer and drive 15 miles to DAW.

    Heat index hit 99 at DAW. Last 4 days heat index: 99 96 102 99 It’s not all dews either. Each day air temp was at or above 90. Average high is 80. And tomorrow, heat index will exceed 100 and air temp >90.

    Last thing I would do is reference the growing zones to track this warming. November warmth hasn't helped us, as sun angle is prohibitive by November 13th or so. That's latitude dependent. And our climate has been most "normal" in early to mid spring, which means the frosts are common through end of april. We've warmed up a lot, but I'm still gardening like a New Englander...

    This is how it things are trending climate wise imby. It’s an ugly combination for sure; -New Jersey climo November - mid March -Southern New England Climo late March to May -Far interior sections of southeast climo: June to October

    Can see a CDO wrapping around the center of circulation and losing the pocketed/banded/feathered look it had all day. Expecting a big improvement in structural appearance over next few hours.

    Beryl is forecasted only 12 hours over the Yucatán which—to begin with— historically isn’t inhospitable to tropical cyclones. Atmospheric conditions are also tilted to favorable at that time. If core is anything like today, upon landfall, I believe odds strongly favor hurricane status vs tropical storm upon entry into the GOM.

    Clouds will be problematic despite the occasional breaks. The breaks, in part, will lead to more clouds..then break…rinse repeat..I was in full sun up until a half hour ago. Now mostly cloudy. The real sky clearing line looks like it’s in Berks/VT
  8. jbenedet
    Every model has clouds sticking around in eastern sections. Caps the t-storm threat to strong to isolated severe. Gotta be west of 395 I think to get good clearing chances. The clouds were my high probability bet when I paid up for sox tickets. Not going if I’m going to cook in full sun and a soup airmass…

    Who’s down in Great Bay area?That cell missed me to the south by like 3miles.
  10. jbenedet
    Man that southern cell when it gets toward coastal plain should be really interesting. No mountain disruptions on the Great Bay….
  11. jbenedet
    Yea this looks like a good show incoming. buckle up. Been a year for severe. Not expecting a fizzle upon closest approach.

    The natural disaster risk that has increased the most around here in recent years is fresh water flooding. That’s something worth worrying about… Forget the tornado, worry about the rain that’s coming with the spin-up.

    On vis satellite the structure of the cell heading for Manchester appears to be improving…Getting those overshoots into the stratosphere.
  14. jbenedet
    I get what you mean by crisp. Agree on that. We’ll have to see if the structure improves as the they isolate from the inflow/outflow of the competing cells/line further north.

    closed LLC is not the limiting factor - it's dry air. We have the low level vorticity to work with, for sure. But we don't classify naked swirls for a reason....So from NHC standpoint - challenge is to see that this thing can maintain convection over the LLC to promote positive feedback and cause minimal TS conditions at the warned areas upon landfall...

    Temperatures that make you wish for rain. A special kind of unbearable out there... This is the worst back to back days of heat I've experienced in my lifetime. Heat Index hit 110 yesterday and it looks like it will do it again today. Just in awe at this point, honestly...
  17. jbenedet
    It honestly limits your range of activities as much as the worst weather in winter. The dogs are just as unhappy.
  18. jbenedet
    No. And No. I like summer heat but heat index > 100 is you just want to stay inside or in the pool. Everything else is off limits. Heat index 110 is just brutal. You hunker down inside. Yesterday was first time I felt shortness of breath at times just on short walks and even on the motorcycle. You could absolutely feel the lower oxygen content in the air. None of this is enjoyable.
  19. jbenedet
    Alright a heat index record. Nice to have the reference when it's the dews tacking on another 15 F in real feel
  20. jbenedet
    That's not pretty dewy. It's just straight up tropical. Our dews are tracking Miami Florida.
  21. jbenedet
    Heat index of 99 at DAW as of 9:50 a.m. We started much hotter here today, than yesterday. It's a furnace already. Hotter start. No clouds. Less wind. Ya really can't get hotter around here than these conditions... This is uniquely miserable. I'll try to enjoy it for its "holy shitness"
  22. jbenedet
    Not really. It’s May 19.
  23. jbenedet
    ~80% of days since 1st day of spring have been with -NAO. This is flipped from winter. -NAO incoming, again, beginning this weekend - good news is (right now) looks significant enough to send the worst (easterly flow) down to the Mid Atlantic and we can 60-70 in mid May behind the door, with surface HP overhead..... Hedge in favor of dry, seasonable temps and low dews in NNE. You guys in far southern sections--good time for a vacation....

    Managed to take the bike out 4 days this week, including today. First time since November. We are passed the shit up here; but it's still only okay by New England standards, which is obviously still a low bar...hah.
  25. jbenedet
    I'll take low 60's and run with it.
