Brrrrraaapppp. Austria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia on the list. Have no idea what time or day it is, ha. The overnight flights get me every time. Looks like it’s raining at home. What else is new.

Yeah it’s interesting how this little part of the country wants to trough whole so much of the country torches. I’m not even trying to troll those who want high heat or dews… if the models showed a monster ridge over NE we’d talk about it too. Zero doubt in my mind we’ll be wishing we had these low height anomalies this winter.

GEFS… man what a persistent troughing in New England. Just any excuse possible through the end of August.

Lol, right? I would 100% expect people to troll me if I was making some of these statements with such conviction and I would hope they do. None of its personal; make so called ironclad claims and live with what comes back. Hey, it was a great July, no one was trolling. Dews in the 70s to Canada numerous times. But it just hasn’t been that pattern and hasn’t looked it on the models since the end of July. And if this 63/62 or whatever it is outside is muggy, then yeah, it’s a great summer day in CT. Live it up. Off to Logan and a flight to Munich for a couple weeks in Europe.

If folks follow the models and say a warm front won’t blast through to central Mass… your response is those folks think it must be stuck over DC? Just take the loss like a man. Its not trolling if we just like to live in the real world sometimes without hyperbole in every single statement. It’s weather. It either happens or it doesn’t and it’s usually measurable. Where is the warm front? Where did models have it?

So it didn’t blast way north like some where saying?

Euro tries to build the ridge into here only for it to get beaten back by more troughing. These models are finding any excuse possible to not let ridging establish itself in the Northeast. Better blocking than we see in winter on some of these runs.

Deserts down there not used to 5-10” lol. Persistent trough up NE through day 10 it seems in the means.

Lol that 12z GFS run. Some big troughs… persistent. Just not letting heat get established. 19th Then a monster trough Day 8-10.

Nice to see a low go out under SNE.

Down in NE CT today, arrived last night. This is total comfort. Windows and doors open all night. No AC needed. Breezy. Its in the Chamber column today.

So sorry Dryslot. Thoughts with you and your family.

Still good summer signal August 18-24th time frame. Probably a bit drier too (QPF wise, before the Dew Dads read into that drier word too much)… but this stretch in there looks the most summery (without rain) we’ve seen in a while.

Just digging into rainfall numbers locally; others south/east of here have had more, but ~23” in the past 10 weeks is 0.33” per day. Averaging a third of an inch of water, every day, for ten weeks. That’s keeping the ground moist.

Quick half inch of water to keep things damp. Fantastic lightning show, very loud boomers and frequent. Only problem is the dog hates it. It does storm when the dew is over 60F. 63/62

Looks like BTV has warned it.

Like a meso curling this way from just south of BTV. Been trying to tighten up.

Interesting way to frame it. It’s true, though most of my friends and family memories are skiing. Without that though, winter would be a real tough season to put up with the never ending darkness and clouds. Summer is a vibe like you said. Winter is more like waiting for a singular weather event that may or may not happen.

Hopefully some get that close in.

Summer trends towards winter, and winter trends towards summer… until it’s 12 months of April and October. Welcome to climate normalization.

What a block on the 12z GFS… can’t get this in winter for sure. Storm wants to cut but just gets crushed out underneath SNE.

18z evolution was interesting on the GFS. It pops this ridge around the 20th which would be quite hot/summery. But the persistent pattern just returns by the end of the run. It will be interesting to see if the growing signal of a Midwest ridge has any staying power.

That’s awesome.

Ha to be honest it feels slightly like anxiety. Life is different and seems more structured starting in the fall.
