“You guys told me there would be severe weather yesterday so I cancelled all my plans for the entire day and didn’t see a single drop of rain. If I were that wrong about anything at my job I’d be fired!”

Even then, the forecast discussions (which often contain technical terms and a glossary of such terms) are accessible to anyone in the general public who wants to look at them. But I can’t imagine a significant portion of the populace knows what an NWS area forecast discussion is.

I post regularly on weather forums. Not sure there’s much to disqualify me from being a weirdo.

I am envious of you every time you mention this.

It does look like a sleepy little town.

More like Devin Bush.

Another day of wildfire smoke. Hopefully the front sends some of it packing.

I would imagine a 1981-2010 July average of 0.1cm (0.04”) would indicate that approximately an inch of snow fell in July in that period. Something tells me that was likely in one event, though it would stand to reason there could have been traces at other times.

It certainly appears so. Not sure if there are many populated places in the area where it’s snowing (I looked at a map and put in Schefferville, Quebec into my iPhone weather app and it showed that it was snowing and 36 there, though admittedly the iPhone app can be terrible with ptype). Their Wikipedia page does show a normal July snowfall of 0.1cm, so that would answer the question of whether or not it’s unprecedented.

Score another one for the GFS!

Looks like there was no weather issue at all for the ballgame. I see we got 89’d today, but at least your nemesis Syracuse fell short of 90 (Burlington too).

I wonder how many top 3 warmest months at any location have double digit numbers of days where the high temperature is below normal.

Just looking at it now, looks like a period of weak troughing and fairly close to daily rain chances. Nothing extreme, just garden variety summer.

I haven’t looked outside in awhile, is it that wildfire smoke haze we had yesterday or real honest to god clouds?

Who knows, NWS isn’t particularly bullish on our precip chances and short range models agree with that but TWC’s 60% had to have come from somewhere.

This map is rain-assisted and well into fantasyland, but I think I needed to see this to get me through a hot day.

Well here’s hoping the heat is a greater source of misery than the play on the field tonight.

Sounds like a good enough argument to keep me on the fence. LOL.

We may not need a rotator cuff surgeon on the off chance that anyone stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

It was fantastic. Great weather, great time spent outdoors, definitely enjoyed the 4th. Sounds like you did much of the same out on this side of the state. Edit: oh, and lots of beer.

Paging Dr. James Andrews.

Pretty sure we can’t yet, they’re not vaccinated to a high enough percentage up there to feel comfortable letting Americans in. I heard July 21st but I wouldn’t be surprised if those goalposts move again.

Hopefully we can cut a few degrees off these dewpoints this afternoon, but I’d be surprised if I go outside before 8pm either way.

This is unfortunately a statistic that the AGW deniers would use their standard “but UHI” argument on, and ignore the fact that these 3 day streaks of lows in the 70s are 10 times as common as they used to be and that Boise is a relatively small city where UHI wouldn’t be nearly as pronounced as, say, PHX or MSP. One other fact that should be included: I’m not familiar with Boise, nor have I ever been within 250 miles of it, but it would appear from looking at a map that the airport sits literally right at the edge of the developed area, so that would also mitigate UHI to some extent.

Good lord. I see each of the past 5 years and 6 of the last 7 on that list. Edited to add: streaks of 3 or longer have occurred 34 times in Boise’s history according to the complete list. 21 of those 34 have occurred in the past 20 years. 13 of those 34 occurred in the previous 125 years on record. In layman’s terms, something that used to happen once a decade is now happening once a year.
