Final total event of 7.93".

7.81" is the new total here now.

6.85" here thus far.  We could use a storm like this in January or February with a nice cold air mass over us.

I'll sell that 87º the 12z GFS had for us on Friday.  GFS continues its warmista saga.

I'll sell that 10" the Euro is showing here over the next 15 days.

Love these temps. Heck of a way to run a torch..

 

 

Yeah, and the warmista GFS just can't give up forecasting more 90's in our future.  I'll sell that.

The long range on the Euro and the GFS couldn't be more different.

In a few days NNE will start getting temperatures regularly into the 40's most nights, maybe even a few upper 30's, as we head toward September. Swimming pools will be cooling down fast.  Even here, I expect the pool will have to be closed before Labor day, which is about the latest it ever comes. 

Here we go again with the model wars.

The 12z GFS has the 9 day here at 100ºF, while both the Euro and CMC have us at 72ºF.

Both the Euro and CMC have deep troughs over the east at 500 mb, while the GFS has nothing.

Another day failing to make it to 90 here.  That makes it 1 out of 5 days so far that the GFS has us 90+.  Today we were supposed to hit 94 here.  The high was 88. Currently 86.

We hit 90 for about 1 hour on Friday.

Just your typical summer period with high humidity.

 

Seems our friend at Mt. Tolland gets easily confused when confronted with facts.

87/73 here now.  We have hit 90 for a total of one hour this week, and that was on Friday.  So much for those 6 straight days of 90+ the GFS was spitting out for days.

Latest Euro says to GFS, what 90's next week?

I'll sell the 6 days of 90+ that the 18z GFS shows for 8/6-8/11. It won't be the first time this summer that the warmista model was wrong.

Are they ever going to fix the warmista GFS?  Today's 12z had temps at 89-90 right now, but we are at 80 here.

Of course but actually even in cities just outside downtowns temps are cooler especially with vegetation. The original post you responded to asked a valid question 

Exactly.  And I have seen no pertinent comment that answers it other than snark.

How do scientists explicitly account for urban heat when measuring Earth's global temperature to ensure that local heat islands do not skew data on global climate trends?

It's going to be tight, but if BOS can go back to back 100s that's not been done since the 40s. This definitely a step up from your low to mid 90s heat wave.

I live 11 miles sw of Boston and the high for these 2 days has been 97.  Comparing Boston temperatures to the 40's ignores the massive heat island effect of all those skyscrapers built since then.

Definitely having brownouts in this area today.  We have window air conditioners in the living room and the bedrooms upstairs, and apparently the living room and one of the bedrooms are on the same electrical circuit as they shut off twice today.  We have lived in this house for over 45 years and never had this happen.  The work around was to find a bedroom outlet not on the same circuit and use the heavy duty extension to keep them both running.

High was 96 yesterday and 97 today.  Now 96.  But those GFS maps a day ago were showing 100+ for both days here, Friday, too.  Tomorrow will be similar to today.  Just your normal summer heat wave, nothing abnormal from a climate standpoint. If the Euro is right, Tuesday you might need a sweater or jacket on the golf course.  And an umbrella.

First full week of July looking cool-ish

The Weather Company and Atmospheric G2 project a cooler-than-average late summer for the Great Lakes and Northeast, with all 3 months cooler than normal Jul-Sep.  This is the opposite of what NOAA has for the Northeast.

Signals getting stronger for a significant heat dome D8-11

This is now the 3rd time in the past month or so that the GFS has shown 100+F temps.  The Euro isn't biting with a strong high out west, which it's been showing for several runs now.

I think we need another GFS rewrite. It's such a warmista.

I feel reasonably confident that when the February numbers are tabulated a couple of weeks from now, we'll see a repeat of this enabling layout that knee jerk triggers myopic types, that have trouble with multi-variate simultaneous awareness of reality they cannot see everyday, into more maddening evidence of compos mentis in the matter -

NOAA missed the boat on their winter temp prediction around these parts, as well as other areas around the country.  I put little faith in these predictions.  https://www.weather.gov/arx/winter2526outlook

I don't know all the models that go into the NBM, but given the projections from the GFS, Euro, and other standard models which appear to have missed the mark by a substantial amount, perhaps we should start looking at some of these other models, especially for storms like this.

To Bristol RI and Torch and JackAss and the rest of you Sick of my Bitching.  HERE IS MY PROOF!  

 

Reports have come in that Providence has received 34 inches.  Something doesn't add up here, or you were in a hole.
