Yeah that’s a good point. Those dry air masses here can boost the daytime highs another 2-3 degrees, albeit briefly, when mixing maxes out in the mountain valleys.

This weather is hard to beat. Think stream flows here have to be some of the lowest of the whole warm season.

Yeah I guess I’ll probably get boxed into calling for cold, lol. There will definitely be 80s at times. On this forum clarifying is important… or it’ll be “PF said it wouldn’t get above 77F anywhere?” My only issue was with “weeks of 80s”… not that it won’t hit 80F for a lot of places. In the means, I think many spots average 70s for highs over the next few weeks… which is still well AN.

I think most folks will largely be in the 70s for highs (can be upper 70s a lot) over the next several weeks… with a few periods of 80s. The torch spots probably have a few days 85+ but a lot of 80-82F mixed with 77-80F in the means. I do not think 80s will be the common denominator for weeks on end for most folks. That doesn’t mean BDL and BOS can’t have 3-4 day stretches. Though it obviously will vary depending on spot. There definitely will be some high end days relative to climate… I think my stance is more there are going to be a good deal of 70s mixed in where most people live over the next three weeks.

Ok, if they are 85-90F we should be hitting 80F. If BTV is 88F, then MVL here will be over 80F. I'd assume if BDL is getting near 90F then you are hitting 80F. It's like a moving target. You keep saying 80s but then 85-90F but then you think you won't be 80F. It's confusing. How many days will you go above 80F going forward?

Ok. We'll see how many days your station exceeds 80F between now and October 15th. You thinking 20+ days of 80F or higher there over the next month based on "weeks of 80s"?

Ha, if it did New England wouldn't have a tree left standing and would have a 50 foot thick glacier snowpack over it.

Who doesn’t want 70s for weeks? Those are the most enjoyable temperatures for doing just about anything. I’ve always thought if we can extend the spring and fall time frame when 70-80F highs are present, you are extending the sweet spot of living comfortably. Of course it’s boring, but it’s nice.

Need a “troll” icon somehow… for the posts that are fishing. Edit: That turd icon is hilarious .

Yeah guess you are right. Normal for BDL is 79F… so 85F is solidly AN. Just noticed looking at the climate sheets that last year it says it was 95/69 today . Edit: Damn… what a stretch last year this time. BDL went 89/92/92/95/89 during this time.

Interesting. I thought it looked like 70s on Wednesday, low 80s Thursday, then getting up to mid-80s for Friday... but guess that's splitting hairs at 3-5 degree differences. EURO, GFS and GGEM all look like 75-80F on Wednesday, then stepping up a tick each day after that.

Did you just combine the two highest numbers on that graphic? If it ends up the low range for those 75-78F it’s probably pretty close to normal.

Looks like a nice over-the-top pattern… usually a drier heat in that look. Could be a beautiful few weeks. I just came down from up top… we’ve warmed up to 38F at the top of the Gondola. I will say, seeing our lift operations staff in hats and gloves and winter-like clothing was a bit early for the time of year. I’m not ready to be actually cold. Not the type of cold DIT and Wiz talk about on summer nights when it’s 61F and they need a hoodie… today felt that real, actual cold up there. The type where you go inside to warm up with mid-30s and wind chills. Too early.

We are still ticking down… 34F now. Should be bottoming out soon though.

35F top of the Gondola with strong wind. Man cold.

The guys on my porches grow to monstrous levels. When insects are plentiful, the spiders feast. Those things can have bodies an inch or more in diameter, just gorging on river valley insects along the open meadows.

That FROPA means business. High of 76F and suddenly 54F and falling. Dropped 10F in under 30 minutes at one point.

True, don’t need to worry about getting burned. I just wish we could keep the long daylight of the temps are elevated. No matter what, it’s basically inside by 7pm these days instead of 9:30pm.

Cold wind chills for the weekend hikers tomorrow…

I’m prepared to not hit the posted speed limit on any road in VT for the next 4-5 weeks. Nothing gets me more irate than the 33mph in a 50mph when just trying to do daily activities .

I’ve found the sun angle still doesn’t make it feel like summer. Heat and sunsets at 7pm just feels weird. No matter how we try to replicate summer in the autumn, it just feels like it falls short.

Chilly shot coming in. As the upper low pivots just north of the international border, cooling aloft will allow temperatures approach or even drop below freezing across the High Peaks in northern NY, so should showers linger long enough, there could be a bit of slushy snow or perhaps rime by daybreak Sunday.

70s and sunny up here. +1

September doing September things and it looks great.

Couldn’t come at a better time… “fantastic weather for being outside.” What a stretch coming up… and in progress.
