Lots of squats from picking up landmines in the yard.

One of the scarier fishing excursions I've experienced was an early September trip to sebago south shore. Day started dead calm on the lake. By 10 am or so, winds started out from the northwest and picked suddenly. Probably gusting to 30...waves responded shortly thereafter. Had to bring it in with breakers swamping the launch ramp but made it out with just some bumps and bruises on the bottom the whaler. No fish.

That's why i'm on the water usually by 6 am, Because some days you can get blown off by 10 am or so or when the recreational boaters start...............lol

i rented a pontoon boat at long lake a few years ago. Spent the day out on sebago. when we returned through Brandy pond and onto Long lake, the wind had picked up and the waves were coming over the bow of the 'toon. front passengers got soaked. good times.

Yes, That lake is orientated from NW to SE so its a perfect candidate for anything out of the north or south to build up some serious waves.

As of yesterday, water temps:

 

5 AUG 82 in N Sebago, and down the south end PWD has 79.3..

Bath water, Although with air temps in the 90's, 79 would feel rather pleasant............

A lot of my time spent down there was up the north end where Long Lake/Brandy pond are at the causeway, You get some stiff wind out of the NNW up there and i have seen some good waves crash up on to the causeway onto Rte 302 off of Long Lake.

The south end after the first few cold fronts of the year can rock. I would love a buoy system on the lakes, but alas.

When we were getting regular reports from the boats out there, we routinely got 4-5 footers in the early fall when the water is still warm (and air above is much colder).

Calm fall cool crisp morning out on the lake in some case with the warmer waters you could use a light house there...........lol

If it were truly a dead calm/weak gradient type day, we would get a lake breeze (which means the lake has to be cooler than the land), but much, much weaker than the neighboring sea breeze would be.

Lake temps are probably running mid 70's right now, I have been down in the lakes region for 50+ yrs, Typically on any given day, You can get that lake affect but its generally from 2 pm on as to when the winds pick up out of the SSW if your at the State park, With the shape of Sebago, Any wind direction will get you a pretty good chop to white caps, Been out there where some days will rival the ocean with some good 3-5 footers.

Models actually suck at that.

My forecast for Sebago is 91, Winni 90. HRRR? 76 and 77.

Typically overdoes the lake influence in all seasons. There is probably a narrow window for shoulder season where the lake is modulating local temps, but at a certain point the land overwhelms the local influences. I mean yes, they are going to be slightly cooler than the surrounding land today, but not 20 degrees cooler.

HRRR........lol, Day like today won't even be noticeable if you were on the beach or on the water, Unless your back in the shade at the state park, You may get some relief with a breeze there.

was out on sebago. went to frye island for lunch. lol. Felt and looked like disney world. Still fun, but zero breeze and wicked hot. Even out on lake was a scorcha!

Yeah, There is usually much relief there at sebago except getting in the water.

What a day yesterday going to Cabbage Island for a clam bake out of Boothbay Harbor, Nice breeze and right around 80°F, Next two days are going to suck heat and temp wise, F uck the 90's.

Guess they're worried about expected coverage of activity. Considering the past few days though I think coverage should certainly be there. Ingredients may not be as favorable as the past few days 9CAPE or shear not as high) but still sufficient. Still around 40+ knots of 0-6km shear which favors supercell structures. Also some pretty solid 0-3km MLCape values as well. 

Big wind looks like it would be the highest factor, But can't rule out a spin up as well.

40% chance of issuance, Tough call.

Last nights showers produced 0.35".
