  1. Yeah, pick a good day for the Mt Washington hike. I have a great book of hikes gone bad in the Presidential Range. Can go sideways up there real quick.
  2. Great pics! You’re turning into quite the peak bagger.
  3. I would normally call you loco...but some cooler days sound nice. Think I might be permanently scarred after the great Buffalo heat bomb of July 2020.
  4. Doesn’t look like the line has weakened much to me. Pretty gnarly looking on radar anyway.
  5. Yeah, that MCS over MI/Lake Huron is chugging along. Looks like a solid cloud deck out ahead of it is approaching WNY though. Will be interesting to see how well that complex holds together over the next few hours. Wonder if temps, at least in WNY, are held down today with the incoming clouds.
  6. Yeah, they look impressive. Anyone with views down the lake right now, please post pics!
  7. Looks like a pretty thick cloud deck in WNY. Wonder if that will limit severe potential there later. BUF still bullish per the SWS issued this morning. Conversely, full sun here at Chaumont with a roaring south wind. Hoping to see some storms roll across the lake later.
  8. I see the “T” word in the forecast discussion by BUF and some local mets for tomorrow afternoon and night. Looks like some interesting weather incoming.
  9. Some obs from the cottage up on Chaumont Bay...It’s tropical! Water temp has to be at least 80. Obnoxiously warm actually as you don’t get much relief when swimming. Had a localized monsoon fire up last night from about 3-5am. Tropical-like downpours have been popping up all morning with sky high humidity, locally enhanced I’m guessing by the super warm water. Pretty cool conditions fueled i would guess in part by the freak 7 day heat bonanza that laid down a blanket of ambient heat.
  10. Sitting here at 88 deg at 915 pm. Thunderheads building all around but trapped beneath an immovable heat dome here in the northeast burbs of BUF. No movement to the air, crickets, or whatever those bugs are, are chirping loudly, thinking it’s the end of August already. What an absolutely incredible stretch of heat we’ve had this week around BUF. Unrelenting and holding firm as a tropical cyclone swirls just to the east, which seems fitting.
  11. At least we’re not Phoenix AZ... I just checked the point and click to see if I could find somewhere hotter than BUF. Just a tad warm there, to the tune of 110-115 for highs the next several days. I thought with the dry heat out there the lows would drop way off into the 60’s for nocturnal relief. Not so much. Lows the next few days are 90! Ouch.
  12. I’ll back that up. The last few days have been incredibly hot here (I’m only about 5 miles from the airport). I’m surprised it’s played out like this with BUF being the hotspot, but I have no doubt it’s legit.
  13. What an airmass! BUF sitting at 87 deg at 840pm. SYR and KART were both at 91 at 8pm.
  14. Never thought I would experience prolonged heat like this in BUF.
  15. Southwest breeze kicked in here and our temp plummeted to 87 now at 830pm. Breeze does feel nice though.
  16. Approaching 7pm and 91 deg at BUF. This is getting seriously weird now.
  17. Any thoughts on the meteorology behind BUF being such a hot spot today/tonight so far? We’re currently at 81, highest ob I could find in the state. 3 deg warmer than NYC right now. And not sure if anyone topped the 94 we hit today. Light northeast wind down-sloping off the Niagara escarpment?
  18. 87 deg at BUF at 830pm. BUF, the new Houston of the north.
  19. Interestingly, BUF is less than 1 deg above normal for June and less than an inch below normal for precip. So basically average for June so far. It’s felt much warmer and drier to me at least.
  20. Ugh, sounds dire for my early tee time tomorrow. How about a monster MCS that rolls out of BUF by 7am. Everyone wins.
  21. Yeah, common theme all late spring/early summer of “over the top” (terrible yet awesome Stallone movie) heat. Guessing day after day of full sun at max sun angle produces this home grown heat? I always thought northern heat had to originate down south and get funneled our way, clearly not...
  22. 89 (90?) at BUF at 745 pm. Incredible heat transport up the west side of the Apps.
  23. Ideal. Don’t like the look of the upper level trof dropping in next weekend, hopefully that flattens out as we get closer.
