BOS at 75/37 for 25% RH after 10pm is awesome. That’s a warm, dry, well-mixed breezy vibe. Mediterranean.

High of 73F with low dews, and beautiful. 63/44 right now in the waning light. Going to miss it being this bright at 8:45pm.

“Man dressed in bear costume locks himself in vehicle, then destroys it” would be a much more catching story .

We’ve been seeing a ton of bear break-ins around Stowe. They are getting into vehicles and even homes (all by opening doors). I wish I could post videos… there’s two ring camera scenes of bears walking up to front doors in Stowe and just turning the handle and walking inside. They have mastered car doors with an incredible efficiency. 7 cars got broken into last night in a condo complex. The most startling one was at a local hotel, a bear broke into a car by opening the door, but then the door shut behind him. Locking him in the vehicle. The front desk got calls at 2am about a horn honking outside in the parking lot. They find a bear in there honking but it absolutely totaled the vehicle on the inside. He was trying to remove the door panels to get out. They ended up popping the trunk and it barely got over the back seat and out.

If I can't be near the mountains, I think I'd want to be near the ocean. The power of the water and just knowing it's there, I've always been fascinated by the ocean. I definitely do not have the money for it, ha, most folks don't. But there's a reason why many of the Stowe crowd head to Nantucket for their summers. Only 0.27” of rain today. Haven’t had to water the garden once since planting.

It's a solid New England tourist town... and for a reason too. It can get too busy but the natural environment between the Spine and the Worcester Range helps lead to that mountain town vibe. If you are used to the Lakes Region of NH though, I don't think it's any busier than that. Plenty of restaurants and breweries. Mansfield and Smugglers Notch is fun geography too.

It’s a Ray “Mooseknuckle Village” location for sure.

Looks like a weak tornado touched down late this afternoon in Beekmantown, NY just near I-87 in Clinton County (Plattsburgh, NY area). There seem to be a variety of videos of it... weak spin up but looked legit in videos. Line came off the Adirondacks and must’ve hit some low level veering in the western Champlain Valley to spin one up.

Getting a quick lap in between the synoptic rain and storms later.

8pm Sat to 8am Sun looks good for outdoor activities there . Its like surgically positioned during the overnight hours.

+ crack. It’s raining again, too. Awesome.

Hope it’s electric.

I can’t imagine living there and not being near the water. Strong hell no to interior Florida.

73/51 Back in the sweet spot for temps/dews.

It was a smoky blue tint hazy day. There were some clouds around the mountain, but the view was smoggy. The Mansfield ridgeline is 2 miles long from above where I'm standing to the high spot across there, and even that view was hazy. The 5-6 mile visibility seemed about right. Eventually the clouds filled in.

The smoke today was real bad here. MVL ASOS didn’t get a vis above 5-6sm all day long. Sure, it’s not as bad as that episode of 1-3sm we all had last summer (or two summers ago?)… but it was an extremely noticeable haze all day obscuring the mountains.

We got some clearing but all that did was cause low level ground fog from the earlier rain. So we lost the clouds overhead and replaced them with ones in the bottom 30 feet.

We stayed dry all day until now. Torrential rain and thunder just moved in. One of the best Saturday’s in a while included low vis haze/smoke/air quality alerts when not raining, followed by torrential rain at 5pm. The bar is very low.

I’m destroyed with bites. My ankles itch just writing this, ha. They’ve been bad up here too.

No thunder up here… just a 0.49” stratiform rain over 3 hours. The mosquitoes will enjoy it.

Impressive radar. Just heavy heavies everywhere.

Yeah I’d toss those GEFS temps… take +2 on most of that. So it’s normal to slightly AN… but it’s like Wiz said.. this is normal June. We like to rush seasons in.

Have you looked? Because I honestly don't know if I believe you. I just did (because it's fairly easy to do so) and I'm seeing most ensembles are showing a normal temperature regime. GEFS are probably too cool, but I'm imagining that @CoastalWx also looked and arrived at his conclusion after seeing the H5 pattern and resulting set-ups. And I'm not calling for a cold pattern, before this gets spun as "some are calling for 40s and 50s". This is model data on a science forum. Read it how you want to. EPS Days 8 - 15 GEFS Days 8 - 15... this is colder.

Not once did Scoots say anything about a cool, chilly pattern. Who the hell is thinking "Looks like big heat is gone for a while" means 30s at night? The mental gymnastics, projections, hyperbole and assumptions in here could keep a psychiatrist going for years. If we as a science forum have gotten to the point where we can't call it like the models show, we've jumped the shark.

Good luck here. We used to live more in model reality but that’s moved on to filling agendas with strong hyperbole. The ones to trust are the ones who can actually say when models show the weather they don’t want. Like Coastalwx loves heat and humidity in the summer… if he says models have backed off a bit on heat, they did.
