Why is there no names on who did the write up? I assume an Upton Met? Someone spent a lot of time analyzing it and writing the report. Why not sign your name on it?

This was a special day...

You should go check out the blooms down at Iggys in Narragansett.

KGON with CT's high today of 75. That's got to be a record.

GON and HVN 74.

Focus the next several hours will be across interior southern CT with upslope flow in a moisture-laden airmass with MUCAPE values of 500-1000 J/KG. PW on the 00Z OKX sounding was 1.97, shattering the all-time value. This is 4 to 5 SD above normal. This is clearly an anomalous regime we are in with respect to this northward late season push of tropical air. Thus there is a concern for a fine line of convection to develop as the front and max forcing coincides with the anomalous moisture rich environment later this morning. The potential is there for lower top convection possibly triggering a very short round of severe weather. Temperatures will likely approach records highs in a few locations like LGA, JFK, BDR, and ISP

BDR and HVN 79.

HVN +22.1 yesterday +13 MTD. Lol

From Donsutherland1 in the NYC forum. Today was another exceptionally warm November day. Readings soared into the middle and upper 70s across the region. The warmth extended across northern New England into Canada. Records included: Allentown: 75° (tied record set in 1935 and tied in 1994) Albany: 76° (old record: 75°, 1994) Atlantic City: 76° (tied record set in 1961 and tied in 2003) Bangor: 73° (old record: 71°, 1938) Bridgeport: 73° (old record: 72°, 1961) Buffalo: 79° (old record: 76°, 1948) Burlington: 74° (old record: 72°, 1938) Caribou: 73° (old record: 67°, 1982) Concord: 78° (old record: 75°, 1994) Hartford: 78° (old record: 76°, 1994) Islip: 74° (old record: 70°, 1975, 2005, and 2015) Manchester, NH: 79° (old record: 75°, 2015) ***New November Record*** Montreal: 74° (old record: 66°, 1988) ***New November Record*** New Haven: 74° (old record: 72°, 1961 and 1975) New York City-LGA: 75° (old record: 74°, 2005) Newark: 79° (old record: 77°, 1959) Portland: 75° (old record: 71°, 1994) Providence: 75° (tied record set in 1994) Quebec City: 72° (old record: 63°, 2008) Rivière-du-Loup, QC: 68° (old record: 58°, 2008) Saguenay, QC: 70° (old record: 67°, 2008) Rochester: 77° (old record: 75°, 2015) Syracuse: 77° (old record: 73°, 2015) White Plains: 75° (old record: 73°, 2005) Caribou recorded its first ever 70° November temperature in 2020. Today, it recorded its second ever November temperature. Saint-Anicet, Quebec set a provincial November record high reading of 78°. Tonight, one will turn back the clocks one hour. In terms of weather, one will turn the calendar back to mid-September. Temperatures will again reach the middle 70s across many parts of the region tomorrow. On Monday, a few places could approach or reach 80°.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... 330 PM Update: An unseasonably warm and humid afternoon continues across Southern New England. This is associated with an anomalously strong mid/upper ridge near 590 dm positioned over the western Atlc and southerly surface/low level flow. Despite some clouds and southerly breezes, many areas have reached into the lower to mid 70s (around 70 Cape/Islands), with a few spot upper 70s also popping up! BDL has already set its daily record for today at 77 degrees, and PVD tied its record for the date at 75 degrees. Dewpoints are quite high for early November, in the lower 60s which are about 4-6 degrees warmer than the normal high temps for early November!

BDL 79.

It's done very efficiently as well usually with a heat recover ventilator that's like 85-95% efficient. So even when its like 20 degrees out in the winter the outside air being brought in is like 67 degrees if the house is 70. The only energy consumption is the fan. It does the same in the summer. Its common to filter that air being brought in as well. I don't think people realize how important air sealing a house is with today's energy costs. Bad or no insulation is a fraction of the heat loss of what 5 degree air being driven into your house on gusy nw winds is. It sucks incredible amounts of heat out of your house. A lot of old houses have the equivalent air leakage of basically like a 4x4 hole in their house.

Get ready for some big rate increases for CT Eversource customer's. Eversource's CEO is saying rates could potentially go up 40%. They are currently submitting their winter rate increase to the public utilities board. I also don't think people realize how low LNG and heating oil inventories are in New England. A prolonged cold snap is going to put a serious strain on our energy here. Blackouts are real possibility. Eversource CEO warns of potential 40% bill increase https://www.wtnh.com/news/eversource-ceo-calls-on-pres-biden-for-energy-assistance-in-new-england-this-winter/

I've been working out on Pt Judith at my sister's house. The charter and fishing boats have been busy in and out of Galilee. Last month right off Scarborough Beach was a hot zone for bluefin tuna. Hit 68 yesterday here. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KRINARRA66 I thought my area in CT was warm but this is hands down one of the warmest spots in New England. Took this picture yesterday at Iggys. Just unbelievable blooms. Looks like August still.

40 for the low. What an extended summer.

You know its been a special one when the hills of Tolland are still picking...

Feels like spring out on Pt Judith RI....

I'm not sure on the date but a large section of coastal CT was reclassified to plant hardiness zone 7a. I also read that the same area is pretty much part of climate zone 4 now.

Blooms into December here? I had 1 sub 40 low this month with a low of 39 on the 21st. The maples are just starting to show some color here.

Sun was just out driving through Westerly, RI and the car thermo was 76-77.

This is also a huge factor in pricing and Europe is willing to pay 4x the price of LNG. Although geographically part of the U.S. mainland, in terms of energy New England is almost an island. Lacking pipeline connections to refining centers outside the region, it also has insufficient pipeline capacity to transport natural gas—New England’s dominant fuel for electricity production—from other parts of the United States during wintertime spikes in demand. Instead, the region must turn to marine deliveries of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to meet its needs. That means imports. While the United States is one of the world’s top exporters of LNG, there are no ships to transport it to New England. More accurately, there are no ships to transport it that comply with the Jones Act. Of the world’s nearly 600 LNG tankers, none are U.S.-flagged, U.S.-built and mostly U.S.-crewed and owned as required by the 1920 law to transport goods within the United States. And such a vessel isn’t likely to appear anytime soon, if ever. With U.S.-built LNG tankers estimated to cost over $500 million more than those from foreign shipyards—although no one knows for sure, since no such vessel has been constructed in this country since 1980—the economic case for building and operating one is non‐existent. The result is that the Jones Act has effectively placed U.S. LNG off‐limits to New England (and Puerto Rico). While bulk quantities of U.S. LNG have been exported to 37 countries since 2016, they cannot be sent by ship to other parts of the United States.

Was a warm tropical night here with some scattered heavy downpours. HVN is currently 67.

Might pull my first sub 50 tonight.
