BDL’s average high right now is 77F. Today it hit at least 78F there. So today could be a tick above normal in CT, and all of you guys seemingly talking about it’s chilly or not summer, ha. It’s not even a “cool” day relatively speaking.

Several rounds of quick hitting showers and storms. Squally type day. Heres right before another round pushes over the Spine.

1.15” last evening and night. A nice soaking for the pollen.

I'm not sure I ever saw pollen plumes like today. The increasing southerly winds really had it looking like blowing snow out of the forests, except the color was light green. There was a pollen wind-lip on the edge of the hood of my SUV today, blowing and drifting . Whiteface Mountain shared some photos on the official ski area account about the pollen the past couple days. Montpelier today. Wind stripping the trees.

Pollen increasing rapidly. 1” last hour.

Been loving the Stein overall. Would love if it didn’t rain for three months. Unfortunately this weekend looks wet.

It was a summer evening. Those ASOS dews of 65-70F bring the summer vibe. I don’t necessarily like the dews, but can appreciate the feel/vibe as summer. Long daylight this time of year, 8pm dog walks seem just as bright as any time of the day in December, ha.

It is an absolute steam bath this evening. Had about 0.30” rain earlier to prime the low levels, now it’s 82/70 at MVL this evening. First 70 dew of the season at the ASOS and it feels it after days of dews in the 40s.

This post in the winter discussing a possible mid-month favorable snow and cold set-up… I’m like nahh not gonna happen and look at it skeptically. Here in the summer, I read it and I’m like yeah it’ll probably absolutely torch at least excuse possible… totally happening.

Not right now. An entire month of -3F seems absolutely unfathomable. 86F here in the valley today. Average high is 71F.

I don’t think people know what it’ll feel like if we actually get a -3 type month. Ice age stuff. And these are on the recent normals too, the 1980-2010 set would be even more.

84/48… another hot one… might get 87F or so.

59/55 at 10pm. Tonight looks like the “sharp temp drop in evening” time is over. No more 30s to low 40s. Last 6 days have been sunny high-diurnal days. Great stretch but it’ll come to an end. 3 days with mins in the 30s and 3 low-40s. Highs started in the upper 60s, with full sun, 6 days ago, only to end with highs in the mid-80s today. Nice progression over the past week of high-grade weather, but it’s like being a frog in boiling water. It just slowly sneaks upward over time. The first few days of June averaging +2.5 despite the coolish mornings.

Don’t let the Door hit you on the way out.

46F for the low and tickling 80F at 11:30am. Fantastic.

Another excellent evening. 55F now at MVL and local PWS, this is last hour’s obs.

That 18z H5 loop is wild. Multiple strong upper level lows passing through, one snagging a tropical storm. This is a very snowy 2 weeks in the winter for someone, ha.

Been 82-83F with full sun and low dews… I will say, after a quick dip in the ice cold river… anyone who says this strong June sun and 83F is “cold” when you get out of the water because the dew isn’t 67F is either drunk or high. Plenty hot enough to swim even with 48F dews.

Almost a 40 degree swing already today. 80F off a low of 42F. Warm afternoons and no bedsheets stuck to asses, what a time to be alive.

That's incredible, even when ORH is like 10F cooler. The new Lava Rock hilltop torch.

Moss Glen Falls on the Stowe/Morrisville line. Largest in Vermont at 130 vertical feet. Scale doesn’t show up well in the photo. Nice day to be outside.

79/39 and had a 40+ diurnal swing. It is perfect out.

Another min in the 30s with 38F last night, already in the 70s by 11am. Currently 72/39, about perfect.

The long daylight, warm afternoons, chilly radiational evenings…. it’s just pristine weather. Down to 52F with a 10F drop in an hour as the sun goes down. The rad pits cool off well in this type of air mass the past few days. Low dews are the clue to radiational cooling. TAN at 54F and vacating heat.

This is how you draw up a Saturday to start June. BTV is certainly enthused. We can look forward to a warming trend as we begin meteorological summer. Saturday looks to be gorgeous days for outdoor activities, with highs 74-82, plentiful sunshine and comfortable humidity. Area waters are still on the cool side with water temperatures in the low to mid 60s. Given that it is the weekend and with sunny condition and temperatures reaching the low 80s, cold water safety should be exercised for those taking advantage of the gorgeous weather. While upper ridging builds in from the west, we do maintain a light northerly flow below 850mb level so the air mass will be continental polar in nature. Dew points will be in the 40s so the weather will be gorgeous to be outdoors.
