This has nothing to do with the fact that the lower sun angle becomes palpable for the first time.

Last evening was the first time I noticed the sunsets/twlight getting shorter.

Oh Canada thank you for your crystal clear Cobalt sky. No smoke like some had predicted. Top tenner for sure. Cocadoodledewlessness 

Ginx, Canada is the gift that keeps giving.  A large arc of smoke is ready to descend.  Will tonights cold front push it south of us?  I put the yellow dot on us

Gorgeous today. Forecast low for Tuesday night is 41… if we end with a frost I will poke my eyes out 

 

 

Looks good Alex.  Have you ever had a July frost before?  I'm sure you are safe tonight

Interesting setup.  Line of convection along the Mass Pike is moving north and about to meet the line coming SE.  What is going to happen when they both meet?  

67/63F  Moderate rain .70"  Dewpoint really dropped past hour.  The difference is already noticeable.

73/69  R+  About .55" so far.   Very little lightning.  Just dark, tropical with rain. 

A couple of hours ago we had a heavy shower.  .28"  now the sun is out.  With so much moisture around my dew is up to 75F.  A rarity

80.1/75

What time does SPC update it's convective outlook?  

Very warm and humid up here with early morning sun.  I think SPC area of potential heavy storms should have been bumped north.  We have missed the severe action up here lately but things seemed primed this AM.  Model qpf seem to be trending more bullish.

Good luck down there.  I might escape this whole system without any convective rain.  Just a bit this AM

Speaking of dews and Nashua, the ASOS has been reporting higher dews for quite awhile.  Why doesn't someone at the NWS notice it and make an adjustment.  Is it that hard to have a field guy go out?

71.4/68 here.  Low clouds   I don't expect any severe this far north

My bet is a tornado watch for the first meso disc area and severe thunderstorm watch for the second disc further south

71/67 up here. Low overcast.  Real severe threat will be south of the Dendrite area, imo

Since the discussion starts out with damaging winds and a tornado or two my guess is a tornado watch

80%  of a watch.  Bets on severe thunderstorm or tornado?

The kind of talk from the forecast offices usually makes me want to run in the opposite direction, but honest to God even on my trips out to the Midwest people are watching and waiting to see if severe ingredients come together for an active day. 

We’ll just have to watch the trends I guess. 

I forgot, there is the "enhanced" before we would get to moderate

Upgrade to moderate? With what you all are honking sounds like it would happen later

Lots of lightning on the Boston webcam looking west

About .15"  looks like I'm about finished.  Dodged every cell all day

68/64  Sun just breaking out.  Some pretty intense echoes west.  It will be interesting to see how much they weaken as they get to Central NH. Have had about .10" so far

....one more comment on electric.  Eversource here in NH and NH Electric Coop are lowering their rates substantially on August 1rst. 12.6 cents per kilowatt hour, down from the current 20.2 cents per kilowatt hour. 38% rate reduction

Off-topic but this is pretty crazy to me.  Yes it’s the Sierra, yes it was a record snow year.  But working at a ski area, it has to be crazy to continue “winter” operations into August.

It's going to be like Tuckermans.  Just to say you skied in August in California

You can have my gas car when you pry the keys from my cold dead hands.

I fell asleep without making a follow up post to my original one, but I’m not trying to poopoo gas powered tools or singling out 2 strokers. But I do believe you have to start somewhere with making these products more environmentally friendly. I have a 2 stroke brush cutter, but only because an electric isn’t powerful enough yet to do what the product needs to do. The electric technology is there for a simple weed whacker or leaf blower though. The mowers are starting to get better too, but I have over an acre to mow with some brush in spots so I’m sticking with gas for now. 

Brian,  I got to come visit you and have you drive my electric Mustang Mache up the big hill you live on.  You will be blown away with power of instant torque.  Going on 18 months now and love this car.  With the electricity rates going down it is much less costly to drive and great in the snow.  Other than tire rotation not a penny of maintenance.  Electric has down sides but like you said we have to start somewhere, especially for those who like snowy winters

Compare my views.  Thanks Canada.  Estimate vis is about 4 miles

Our AQI went downhill quickly today.  It was 30 at 8am and is 100 (moderate) now.

Was just thinking how smokey it is....working in Newton just off 128 and it's super hazy/smokey

So much smoke for the Eastern part of the US.  Now it is coming from Western Canada.  No more cool, clean Canadian air!

......and the event rainfall prize goes to Albany NH  Trained spotter  4.85"  (unless I missed something)

Unless something pops up to the west,  I'm done at 1.35".  Most came within a 15 to 20 minute. max rain rate of 5.33" per hour
