Interesting BOX AFD this afternoon... Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 450 PM EDT Wed Jul 26 2023 .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/... * A warm/hot end to the day, followed by a dry and warm overnight. A hot, albeit, an enjoyable afternoon for southern New England with temperatures topping out between 85F and 90F. Good news, it remains dry through this evening, a great night to grab an ice cream cone! Temperatures this evening, around sunset, drop to either side of 80 degrees. So, you will need to eat it quick that way it does not melt in your hands. But not too quick, you do not want a brain freeze!

No way. This is the big one we've all been waiting for!

You had to know that this was over yesterday afternoon when the NWS dropped advisories and went to "up to an inch" or "little or no accumulation" forecast for the coast and 1-3 for inland zones. Only the TV guys were hyping this up as usual.

Not too often do you see Blizzard Warnings for L.A. County. Accumulations up to 7 feet and 65 mph winds in the mountains.

Or foxes.

50° and warm in the sun.

Was it the Brian James dude? Saw him at New Years and he did a pretty good job for a fill in.

Don't ruin it. If EWR is getting snow then I want some too.

Snow in NYC now won't be long for SNE.

This might be the coldest air mass we see all winter especially for the northeast where we really only get one true arctic blast that lasts for a couple of days each season.

Well at least we started getting later sunsets this week. A whole extra minute of sun in the evenings!

I really dislike it when the NW hills get their own little private snowstorm. Unfair!

It's just a watch, so my guess is they see part of the county already in range and any slight shift of that eastward would qualify the entire county when it comes time to pull the trigger on a warning. If it doesn't then they just convert to an advisory. Seems like giving themselves wiggle room.

Clearly they are worried about the town of Hartland and all 5 people that live there possibly reaching 6 inches.

Starting to see a few flakes flying here.

1948

Wow smashing BDR's record high by 10 degrees!

Incredible how warm it is outside! Margs and oysters on the beach But the wind has swung around to the NW so coming to an end soon.

Because NHC rounds, so until they have enough evidence to support the jump from 135 to 140 kts, then it stays stuck at 155.

Forget the dew, look at that heat index!

Good luck and watch out for the bears in Simsbeary.

Yep. Furnace Creek in 1913 I think.

Watch out for those shuffle board courts in Phase 3.

You guys put on sweaters for 50s? Is this the south Florida board?

Probably double conversion error which is common. Station reports whole °F which gets turned into tenths of °C for the METAR T-group, then web sites take the tenths of °C and translate that into tenths of °F. Station reports 87°F which is encoded as T0306xxxx in the METAR then some web site converts the 30.6°C to 87.1°F. You can always tell when this is happening because the tenths of degrees are always .8, .9, .1, or .2.
