    I was looking at BGM. Is that for GYX? Link? I've been looking for their criteria page.

    https://www.weather.gov/bgm/heat

    I think some criteria changed earlier this year, but I can find the info on it. BTW...last hour yielded a 104F HX so technically GYX could say that hour didn't verify.

    That's for BOX. Not sure if GYX has a page.
    Sorry here's the link I used https://www.weather.gov/box/criteria

    I'm guessing they didn't expect today to be so humid? Criteria is 2 consecutive days with at least 3 hours of 105F+ IIRC.

    2 hours >=105F

    Heat advisory requires 2 days, and the southern CWAs require 2 days for EHW.

    My thing is after observing yesterday, and then seeing the same dew points by noon today, pull the trigger. I mean they put up the warning at 2:37pm yesterday, after already 2 hours of EH criteria met. So late it's basically worthless. Waiting to see how high dew points got today is understandable. See it, then act.

  3. Alright I need Gray NWS to step up here. WTF. Yesterday it took until 2:37pm to pull the trigger on an excessive heat warning in Keene. Heat index had already been 105F+ for 2 hours at that point.

    Now it's already 89/73 = HI of 97F before noon. Where's the EHW? This will be one of the most obvious situations for a EHW in NH of the last few decades, and they're dropping the ball.

  4. Figured this still would go in this thread...
    Lots of fun tomorrow too. Upstream ML low drops over the Northeast, 500mb temps plummet to around -35C. There's no low level cold advection going on behind this storm. Plus low to mid level moisture gets trapped in the broad circulation formed. We're talking total totals >50, even potentially some low level CAPE >100J/kg. 
    Recipe for heavy snow squalls with whiteout conditions, maybe some thunder.

    It wouldn't surprise me if there were an inch or two tonight from that. The ULL goes right over head too which will help with the snow shower activity.

    The upper low is going to give you guys some fun for sure. Especially tomorrow. I mean you even have surface based CAPE tomorrow afternoon. Good recipe for squalls with whiteout conditions.

    5 possible opportunities for deep deep BM area cyclones has produced 3 epic storms, historic really.

    Beginning with the early January bomb and going forward, the last 2 and half months have delivered a very impressive frequency of rapid deepening and deep cyclones inside 65W, and even more remarkably, south of 40N. I mean multiple sub-970 xtrop lows inside 40/65 in a couple months. Amazing.

    DST really sucks. Totally useless this early in the year. 

    00z RPM out to 2 hours. Gonna be a long hour of waiting...sans the brief interruption where metfan tells us the 21z srefs look good. 

    DST is EXTREMELY useful now! We need every minute of evening daylight we can get for chasing ;)

    Prospects of epic banding over eastern New England brought me here to watch y'all get hyped up! What a stretch.
