We do +5 to +9 months like it’s nothing at this point. Summer used to be the time when it was harder to do the big departures over +2 or +3. Not anymore lol.

Great weekend weather for sure. For tonight into tomorrow, strong radiational cooling will drive temperatures into the 40s. Parts of the Northeast Kingdom and Adirondacks are likely to fall down into the 30s. Saranac Lake is forecast to reach 33 at present, coming close to a daily record of 32 early Sunday morning. Some patchy frost has been applied, mostly in the northern Adirondacks. Sunday should be very pleasant with dry weather and light winds. High temperatures will generally be in the 70s. &&

If it’s going to get hot, let’s go for high-end and records.

This is bananas for Stowe. 94F, 95F, 94F. Lows near 70F. Tuesday Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 94. South wind 3 to 6 mph. Tuesday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 69. Calm wind. Juneteenth Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 95. Calm wind becoming west around 6 mph in the afternoon. Wednesday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 70. Calm wind. Thursday A 30 percent chance of rain. Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 94. Calm wind becoming west 5 to 8 mph in the morning.

Ha, in the Mad River Valley this week. Black bears are the best wild animal we have. They have no predators but also aren’t programmed to be predatory. They just wander around curiously.

I wonder if the time of year and amount of outdoor tourists there are factor into the lead time. West Yellowstone and Big Sky areas... that place is teeming with people in the "warm" season. And most of them are not prepared for a wet snow... from those camping, hiking, etc. Even some road impacts in the higher areas? I guess hundreds of thousands of people visit Yellowstone each month from June-Aug.

I will say normal June weather for a stretch has been delightful when the sun is out. Normal for this date is 73/49 locally at the MVL ASOS. Today featured 72/49. Climo average day on the dot. I mean, this is nice weather. Sometimes seeing what “normal” is can be fun. This scene was at 7:45pm too. Sunset isn’t until after 8:30pm these days. It’s awesome, can be outside 7-9pm with no light issues.

A poster is going to lose their mind if you start talking about BD possibility during the heat hype-up period .

Nahh, if he wrote it he would’ve done it back in late March.

It’s fascinating. I agree, I can’t see how she gets convicted. Too many weird things to not cast reasonable doubt. The state police investigator was obviously biased too. In the end it’s not whether she did it or not, it’s whether they proved she did it. And that seems to be a stretch right now.

Yeah it was widespread heavy rains but more mundane big totals... however, I do not remember a summer like last year where regularly entire towns would get like wiped off the map in some historical flash flood. I feel like there were a good dozen events spread from VT/NH/ME/MA/CT/RI of like localized obscene rainfall... just infrastructure decimating short-duration rainfall. By the end of the summer, some town getting 7" in 3 hours was like "oh, there's another place destroyed."

I’m up in NVT and I know about it and see constant updates on social from a wide variety of sources. Isn’t this a super high-profile case?

Yeah I guess ORH at 70F instead of 72F average. I was just trying to clarify if when folks say it’s chilly, is it based on normal or is it just anything not full HHH summer now considered chilly.

BOS is averaging above normal past 4 days. Feel like that’s still important to note. Today might end up -1 though.

We’ve had some of our hottest days in NNE early in the season in May and June the past 5 years or so. We’ve had some real record scorchers.

SLK saw a high of 53F this afternoon. Average high is 71F. Same max temp departure that would trigger 91F on the hot side at that 1600ft+ elevation. Guess there has been some relatively cool air lagging behind the trough axis.

Been a raw day. Folks lighting up the wood stove I’ve seen on social, ha. The 1,500ft level has been living in the low-50s all day and dipping into the upper 40s with upslope misery mist and light rain occurring. A cold season precipitation vibe, not convective. Ski area was quite damp, while at home it was a much reduced misery mist and very fine droplets (drying out in the valley). I hate wasting some of the longest days of the year on this crap. Need clear skies and sun. Don't care the temp, just need that late sun in the evening.

Not sure you want to chin up in that situation.

I don’t know, it’s not like DIT to hype up something he wants. Very out-of-character. It might have legs.

+1 to +2 would be a big improvement over some recent years, ha. Let’s goooo. Big winter.

Today was the worst yet. High of 60F at MVL. All day in the 50s with brief hit to 60F. Now this might actually get a negative departure.

Yeah it’s been raining for days up here NW… had another round move through this AM. Think we are near 2.50” since Friday AM. It’s been nice though for the garden, as it hasn’t been high rain rates, or raining all the time. Just frequent soaking rains for the vegetation.

Like the boiling frog myth… just a slow steady rise but nothing earth-shattering. Just the most mundane way to get ridiculous departures.

This trough produced two +1 days at BDL. It’s wild to me that we needed that trough just to get near what temperatures should be at this time of year. I do hope we can see a legit like 5 day period averaging like -5 departures again sometime to see the reactions.

We’ve seen the monthly departures at ORH and BDL cool off to only +5 to +6… need to get them back up to the baseline of +8 or so. It’s just absolutely wild how warm it’s been for so long back to last November.
