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.

Don't even look at it wrong.

72F with dews in the 30s… got that Chamber feelin’.

Yeah I doubt its truly below normal temps. Always take the over these days. This time of year seems to max out the disconnect from upper level trough to surface temperatures.

Low 36F.

Ring of fire look though, right? That type of pattern has a persistent deep upper low in the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys?

44F and had to close the sliders. Want to keep the 3 sliding doors open and have fresh air everywhere, but it’s dipping under 60F inside. Radiational cooling, and valley air conditioning FTL.

66/35…. If we go calm tonight it’s going to get cold with these dews.

Ray would be in his glory if this were winter getting a solid reach around on the way out.

39F

It’s the growing season. Today felt like September but with a May sun angle… it’s amazing. The fresh light green, this isn’t tired vegetation. It’s new growth and high sun angle. This is my favorite time of year to be honest. Love winter, but the lead up to the longest day of the year with fresh vegetation and comfortable temperatures… it’s hard to beat these days. 44F currently, and MVL did hit 66F for a brief max, despite a 5-min ob not exceeding 64F.

Its tough but someone has to do it. Got up to 63F in the valley but man is it nice out.

Today's been a shock to the system... temps are struggling through the 50s to get to 60F today. Pretty chilly considering it's not raining.

Yeah that’s all we were saying. Agreed on temps remaining elevated relative to normal.

I guess I just balked at that upper level pattern providing 7-10 days of summer heat, 80s to near 90F. For his NW flow ring-of-fire he’s talking about, I want to see ridging in the Ohio Valley, forcing energy over it before accelerating SE through New England… not below normal heights there on a 5-day mean. I just interpret a NW heater flow as something else on the “charts”… not SW moist flow mixed with some post-FROPA air masses. This is the exact opposite of having lower heights to our SW.

Can you post a couple of these progs to outline this? Because all ensembles show something different. This is 5-day means from June 5-10th on both GEFS and EPS.
