Happened to turn on WBZ around 4pm and heard the Accuweather forecast for tomorrow. They said cooler tomorrow with a high near 85F. Hum...

Many on this board are now cooling off a bit thanks to the marine influence. Those of us well inland are going to a very, very warm night. Temps are not going anywhere fast with a 76F dew. Im still over 94F and its 6pm.

It's about 15 miles to our east. Cu overhead are not moving. Im at 95.4/76 but I think the sun beating on my station without a breath of wind is causing a bit higher temp/dew? Chestnut saplings are doing fine in the field but giving them plenty of water.

95.3/76F on the Davis. My 18 year highest temp I believe was 95.5F. Certainly not with a 76F dew Im sure. Very impressive for my casa at 1100 feet in C NH Edit 95.6F/76F My alltime station record broken. Calm wind and now 100% sunshine adds to the misery

Talking about tonight's lows. Flashback to my teenage years growing up in Baltimore. The official temperature was taken at the downtown custom house. The Baltimore Sun would publish the hourly temps the next day. I have some saved. Several times a year the nighttime lows would be in the upper 80's. Around 1980 they moved the thermometer to the science center closer to the Inner Harbor and not on a city rooftop. Back then many of the poorer neighborhoods only had fans, certainly no central AC. We didn't have central AC either, only one window unit and many a night I would go to be sticking to my sheets in our brick house. I can take cold but not extended heat like this.

Also just looked at the MWN cam from Wildcat and still some snow in Tuckerman's. Nice cool off day.

I'm also watching Friday's fropa. I still am in a big rainfall deficit even with my 1.20" last week. Models seem to be speeding fropa so could be a morning passage here. Good for severe down there but I hope I don't miss out on rain chances. Doesn't look good for many pop up storms this week up here at least.

I agree. Forgetting the nuisances of a heat index of 96 or one of 102 this feels like excessive heat. The layperson does not know the difference between a Heat Advisory or an Excessive Heat Warning. This should be a "warning" type day. Cirrus is melting away over big population centers and sun angle is higher than say in August so today is a big impact day although no Excessive Heat Warning will be issued in areas where most people are. Just my 2 cents... Edit, just realized not even a Heat Advisory for Suffolk County or areas nearer the shore that are showing up in the mid 90's right now

A model question. Is it a given bias that the GFS is too warm for 2m temps? Since early last week we saw the crazy 105-110F in E Mass. I thought it would correct as we got closer. Still even now at 12Z it is still throwing out 106F temps. It's going to be very hot this afternoon but I can't see more than a 100 or perhaps 101F. Just rarely happens. Why is the bias so high?

87.5/76! Have the house AC on and its 72. First time ever some condensation is forming on my shade facing windows. Very cool to see. Edit: I'm seeing lots of 75-78F dews on WeatherUnderground weather stations but official sites have dews in the low 70's. Maybe next hour they will come up. Don't understand the discrepancy

Unfiltered sun out now. Dews have been rising steadily this morning. Can really feel the difference since yesterday. 86/75!

Now that I can loop the NNY convection it seems to be moving more ESE. I'll focus more on what is upstream.

Convection starting to fire in extreme Upstate NY. On its current heading it would be coming through the White Mtns. Are the upper level winds such that as the complex moves east it tends to round the bend and move more south or would it stay on its due SE course?

I just saw that. Wonder if we can get an MCS to dive more southward than southeastward and get us in the Lakes Region? I doubt it but will have to watch upstream this PM

Lava, I jury-rigged a system. On my outside faucets, I attached multi-valve faucets output. Then ran garden hoses around the house to the sprinkler on pole system. I bought these at tractor supply, a bit like the bigger ones you see on golf courses. You can adjust the swing and length of stream. So we just turn on the faucet and open up the appropriate valve. I can get the stream pretty to shot pretty far away. Then for areas, I can't reach I have a walking sprinkler. It's made by Nelson. They are very cool, use water pressure to propel and track along the garden hose I lay out.

My lawns look really good considering the dryness over the last 2 months. We have been rotating sprinklers giving the lawn about 3 hours of water a day and really pushing our 700 foot deep well to the limit. Water about 90 minutes then let it recharge. Use organic fert. 15-1-10 with a broadcast spreader set to 6 and have done that twice so far this season. Hopefully we can score a nice T storm or 2 over this upcoming heatwave either by a MCS coming down on a NW flow or pop up storm later in the week. Here are some pics and the sunset over Newfound Lake last evening via drone.

Storm looks ova up here. Total 1.20" Month 3.25" Seems like the axis of heavier rain was further SE than models had it yesterday but first good soak since April 25th. Now onto the heat..

Radiational cooling can be amazingly variable. I have my Davis station which is on a pole. About 20 feet high so that the anemometer can catch a bit more wind. I also have my wifi thermometer at the correct 2m height. I calibrated it to the Davis station. On calm nights I have noticed a 5F difference at times. I bet at a foot or two above the ground at garden height it would be a degree or two more. So the slightest change in elevation is huge. Just checked last night's difference was almost 4F.

Alex at Bretton Woods NH sent me this picture. Another frickin frost 32ish this AM. Amazing for June 26. Basically, 6 week growing season in his deep valley.

Nice, .57" over the last 2 days. Brings me up to 2.81" since May 1rst....

74/48 Deep blue skies light breeze. Highest sun angle of the year. Top 10 up here!

75/53 but broken high clouds off and on so I give today a 8.5. Also really enjoying watching a turkey hen and her 7 chicks in my pasture. The chicks hatched about 10 day ago and she and the family are staying around the pasture. They are getting bigger by the day and now have feathers. I assume they can fly to low branches at night. I guess turkey families stay together for a couple of months so I am putting off cutting the pasture so they have high grass to hide in. Alex at Bretton Woods sent me another bear picture this AM and wanted to share with the group. Love this picture. Guess the bear was hungry and wanted to start up the grill. Living in C/NNE is the best!

Eek, i was just asking where you had been. Yeah, you keep me honest on those pond depths. It went dry during the big drought a couple of years back. You corrected me that it had never gone dry before but you were right it did at least another year. I think during the big drought it went dry in late July. By August I was able to mow the base of it. It went from full pond at the end of April to almost no water left in it so if this dry spell keeps up it will be dry pretty shortly. Now that the ground is so dry even a couple of inches of rain will not bring it up. We will see what happens...

Act 2 gave me some nice showers late evening. Total rainfall ended up being .38" Seems like most people got some beneficial rain but not everyone.

Talk about a Wedding Crasher. When you rent out your property for those weddings this summer wonder if he'll show up?
