dendrite

Looks like 3

Something happened before those bad obs and they were forced to estimate wind data. So I suppose they're trying to do obs manually and struggling doing so? lol KWRI 200956Z AUTO 00000KT 8SM CLR 25/25 A2986 RMK AO2 SLP110 T02490247 $= KWRI 201056Z AUTO 23004KT 10SM CLR 26/25 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP113 T02580247 $= KWRI 201156Z AUTO 27008KT 10SM CLR 28/25 A2988 RMK AO2 SLP117 T02840246 10284 20246 52009 $= KWRI 201256Z AUTO 29008G15KT 10SM CLR 32/23 A2988 RMK AO2 SLP117 T03180225 $= KWRI 201356Z AUTO 30010G16KT 10SM CLR 33/21 A2988 RMK AO2 SLP117 T03320213 $= KWRI 201456Z AUTO 30008KT 10SM CLR 32/22 A2988 RMK AO2 SLP117 T03210219 50001 $= KWRI 201556Z AUTO 29013G19KT 10SM CLR 35/21 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP113 T03460209 $= KWRI 201656Z AUTO 29012G21KT 10SM CLR 35/20 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP113 T03510198 $= KWRI 201756Z 23012G18K 10SM SCT200 35/21 A2987 RMK AO2A SLPNO WND DATA ESTMD ALSTG ESTMD RVRNO $= KWRI 201756Z COR 23012G18KT 10SM SCT200 35/21 A2987 RMK AO2A SLPNO WND DATA ESTMD ALSTG ESTMD RVRNO $ COR 1841= KWRI 201856Z 22010G16KT 10SM SCT220 38/24 A2987 RMK AO2A SLPNO WND DATA ESTMD ALSTG ESTMD RVRNO $= KWRI 201956Z 23010G15KT 10SM FEW060 SCT250 38/25 A2986 RMK AO2A SLPNO WND DATA ESTMD ALSTG ESTMD RVRNO $= KWRI 202056Z 25009KT 10SM FEW060 SCT160 BKN250 35/21 A2984 RMK AO2A SLPNO WND DATA ESTMD ALSTG ESTMD RVRNO $= KWRI 202056Z COR 25009KT 10SM FEW060 SCT160 BKN250 35/21 A2984 RMK SLP103 WND DATA ESTMD ALSTG/SLP ESTMD RVRNO COR 2128= KWRI 202156Z 26009KT 10SM FEW060 SCT180 BKN250 34/20 A2983 RMK SLP100 WND DATA ESTMD ALSTG/SLP ESTMD=

Yeah toss those WRI obs. Something was weird for 2 hours there. https://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/meso_base_dyn.cgi?stn=KWRI&time=GMT

They’ve been running warm lately.

Damaging heat?

12z euro backs off 1-2C across the board in the mid/late range. It'll probably still try to advect a 23C plume in here by d10.

I've noticed two boundaries being modeled the last few days. One goes through this afternoon (I think through here now) that is like you described. It's basically just a pressure trough functioning as a weak dryline as the winds veer from the S to the W-WNW bringing slightly lower dewpoints and a weak reduction on temps. Then the more legitimate front comes thourgh overnight toward morning with a more substantial T/Td drop.

The 12z GFS pinches the heat off pretty quickly early next week. Euro is probably overdone as usual. I'm in the hot with mild downs camp, but nothing memorable.

walnut or hickory?

Green ash has very short petioles (stems) from the leaflets. White ash has longer leaflet petioles. Black ash have none.

Consistently S-SSE since overnight, but now getting into that W-NW direction.

Noticeable wind shift here and getting a weak drop in the dews. Clouds knocked the temp back a bit too. 86/68

Do you think blue ash would grow well up here? We’re pretty far NE from its native range. I’ve read that it has shown the best resilience to EAB although maybe that’s just a case of them preferring other ash first. Maybe the chemical that helps produce the blue dye inside the bark isn’t very appetizing?

They were arguing over whether the meniscus was at 109F or 110F. A few thought it was chamber weather because of the low mins, but most agreed it was a torch and that they would install air conditioners if such a thing existed.

85/71 gross

My green ash trees are producing a decent amount of seeds. Haven’t checked the sugar maple yet. But we have plenty of the ash and red maples if you need any to spread out there before winter. Maybe the shrubby willow is pussywillow?

You would’ve liked 09. I think I needed more heat than AC that month. lol

I assume there were a lot more fields back then with the abundant tree cutting. I wonder how much that helped the region heat up and radiate at night. It tended to be more arid times back then too as the poor farming practices were beginning in the plains and we had fewer GHGs. So those airmasses coming from our west had to be extremely hot and dry...sonoran for like 2 weeks. Being deep in river valleys probably helped Keene and Franklin decouple while Nashua stayed a bit mixed. Of course there’s a “yore” factor where you sometimes have to ask if the data passes the smell check. Many had differing obs times and differences in instrumentation, siting, and observing methods. Maybe Chris has access to info describing what each site used during the history of the station’s existence. But there’s enough consistency in the numbers between multiple sites in multiple states to know these days and days of 100s were legit.

MHT with a low of 77°. 72.3° at the casa.

81.2° Not sure I’ve ever been this warm here at this time of night.

MHT 85F at 11pm. 79F here. About as bad as it gets this time of night.

A really strange month.

Nah I'm installed. Still 87F at MHT 935p...gah. That's not as bad as July 1995, but it's pretty close.

Jesus. Temp shot up to 83° when the wind picked back up. Heat burst?
