Full on horror show if you hate nice weather.

For whatever reason one of my earliest memories of my father is him hitting a nest with the push mower and just taking off in a dead sprint past our living room windows. Don’t know if I ever remember him moving that fast again, ha. Mower sat there for like a day in the middle of the yard.

You walk outside on an absolutely gorgeous day and just get irately angry that it’s so pleasant out?

Then it’s back to 6 months of November weather masquerading as winter.

Wind chills below freezing are a nice change of pace for the top of the Gondola crew.

Gentle 0.40” synoptic rain today. Been a dry 24-48 hours so glad the ground can stay soggy.

Warm evening/night… only the Mtn valleys are dropping below 70F.

It’s getting to the point where the tell-tale sign of someone in too deep or too far gone is that they cannot see, recognize or acknowledge the bias in their preferred media, news, science, people telling them how to live their lives… folks look at it like a team sport and follow that compass blindly. That’s how we go down this societal path. 72/66… last day in the period. Front comes through here with dropping dews around midday.

Yeah that’s what I thought and the soundings show. RH though does increase with height, as the temp falls faster than the dew with height. I think some mistake dews for relative humidity… if the valley is 32% but say a hilltop is 40%, it doesn’t mean the dew is higher up there. The low level temp lapse rate is steeper and causing the increase in RH.

Do dews really max out at elevation? I guess I don’t follow how dews are higher the further up you go. RH is higher but are the actual dews increasing with height?

I guess you missed the disco this morning about sensationalizing weather… honestly every single news source in the US is a dumpster fire pandering to their customer base. A singular event happens and everyone already knows what slant each station will cover it with, so what’s the point. Wish we had a BBC, less opinions and more news.

You could write for CNN to sensationalize weather. Big storms, with huge lightning… the biggest lightning this planet has ever seen. Just massive bolts.

That graph he posted is what you are looking for. It spikes in full sun and then drops 15F when a cloud comes in. Sounds like you are looking for an unshielded thermometer just getting blasted by sun? The temp/dew is measured in the sun but it’s shielded, so sort of like “shade” as the actual instrument is not getting torched by solar.

I believe some were mentioning triple digits at some point too, ha.

That’s awesome.

Based on New England history, a successful SVR event is one weak TOR and some isolated straightline wind damage. We tend to enjoy the tracking more than the outcome… There were a lot of clouds around today; if today dawned clear and there was the same atmospheric profile? Things might have gone off. Can’t discount the amount of cloudiness. Some brief sunshine doesn’t really get the job done, compared to full insolation from sunrise.

Ha, I never said dry. I do think we are in for a change from the past several weeks. The final outcome 10+ days away may be the same as we’ve been seeing in the end, but the long wave pattern is going to shuffle a bit. There’s several days next week that definitely won’t feel like the past 3-4 weeks. Its also literally mid-summer climo so of course it is going to get humid and hot again. We are in the middle of it.

Zero chance you are following a typhoon in the Far East moving NWward and use that in your thought process, but kudos to whoever is discussing it, lol. ”The strength of the ridge”… what ridge and where? See if I were you, instead of trying to use Typhoons or SSTs, I’d have gone to the model data and found the answer. It is there and I’m just being an ass to see if you’d dig into it a little bit . Day 10… still troughy. But by Day 14 the heights are building in from the east. So between Day 10-14 it’s starting to occur on the ensembles.

No I know you know what you’re talking about lol. Sometimes it feels like Kev hears you say something and then repeats over and over but may not actually know why… or even look at model data to see it.

Illustrate this pattern to us with a visual as you seem to see this in all model data. What’s forcing the ridge to back westward In your opinion?

Need a Superhero graphic for it. Someone mentions comfortable weather in New England, have no doubt the DOD is coming to set you straight and remind you the dew point will rise to power again!

To be honest I tend to lean more towards those that can articulate their position with data and actual models. But in today’s world data isn’t nearly as important as it used to be, so we mock charts and models .

Have to appreciate that dipping down to include Tolland in the 3.

Hasn’t rained in a couple days, but we just added 0.75” so far today. 13.91” monthly.

We’ll check against your PWS? GFS and GGEM don’t have you hitting 80F Mon-Fri next week.
