At 3AM?

Hasn't the "warm/hot & humid climate" always been 10 days out? Sounds like continuous cold last winter always being 10 days away. Every time you say "and on" or "and beyond" it lasts a few days and then we get a break. It's been like that all summer. Yeah it's been warm and AN but what's the longest stretch of HHH been this summer? 5-7 days?

That 8/28/86 system is a standout. Even down here my high was 58° and the following morning the low was 34°. The low still stands at the record low for the date and month but the high was broken the next year with a high of only 56°.

I've been reading all day and haven't read a single post calling for highs in the 50s & 60s all next week. I even went back three pages to this morning. Nope. Nada.

Who said that?

Some years there is a metamorphosis phase where he doesn't post and then suddenly emerges from his cocoon.

That's actually what I use for my daily record. I have an online station that has the smaller shield but I would like to upgrade to a FARS at some point. I generally don't have a problem with warmer maxes because I have a hill to my west so I lose the sun earlier than most people.

Where are you seeing water temps for the Connecticut River at Rocky Hill?

Interesting above normal band from Hartford/Tolland County to Boston in SNE. NNE could use a drink though.

I'm still torn on what to do for my normals. For now I'm using my full 35 year record instead of a moving 30 year average. It's interesting in that the second half of the record averages about 0.4° warmer than the first half so if I look at a graph of monthly departures a lot of the months in the first half are BN. I do this one graph that I call the departure index which is a sum of the daily departures positive and negative for the month and you can really see which months are stand-outs and which ones are ho-hum.

Is there rotation on the MA/CT border in Somers/East Longmeadow?

Was very windy here in downtown Springfield with that cell.

By your count.

I thought the heat and 70+ Dp's were supposed to be endless after 8/15?

Sure, but it's still cooler than the day before, hence a cool down for however short. I don't base my expectations on what I could have had. If that was the case I'm missing out on a lot of snow.

Take a look at Tire Rack to see if you can find a tire there. I usually buy my tires there because they have a local warehouse and pick them up and have my local garage install them. Much cheaper than a tire store. I noticed that they have free shipping right now. I run two sets of tires - one for summer and studded/snow tires in winter. It forces me to rotate my tires and you really notice the extra traction in winter, even with AWD/FWD.

It's still there...before warming back up again. It's been doing this all summer. We average AN but we get a break every once and a while.

0.53" here yesterday from one shower in the afternoon (1PM) and evening (10PM). Foggy 64° here this morning.

No. Try 1PM. LOL

How do you explain the mostly cloudy skies with showers earlier in Enfield, Somers and Stafford? Are those three town in SE CT? I'm glad I didn't wash my car only to have it rained on. How's that oak tree doing? If it's such a nice summer day, why are you out taking that down? Why wait till the fall when it's cooler?

There's a reason why it's such a tourist mecca.

Why wait? It's great summer weather to take it down!

It's still SNE.

Any time there's a southerly component to the winds, we'll flip. There's nothing to your south to stop it. I have seem where you and I will be above freezing and places just to my north will stay below. It's because there's a higher plateau to their south that gives them a little blocking. The best track for us is right about the CC canal. Anything further west and we run the risk of mixing regardless of altitude.

We think that is correct.
