Real shallow cool air moving in up north. Still 59F at BTV and 61F at MVL.... but also 61F at 4,000ft on Mount Mansfield. Rare this time of year to have an afternoon feature cooler temps in the lowest 1,000 feet slice of the atmosphere than up at summit level/near 850mb. Be curious to hear how this post might be confusing to anyone.

It’s out through 60 hours. 8pm Tuesday.

Never going to even know who Stein was by the end of the warm season… all that drought talk for naught at the end of the day? Like a couple rainers away from Flood Watches if this pans out. EURO and GFS and GGEM.

Yeah it’s real nice in CT at the lake. Hot and humid. Going back north tomorrow AM to avoid the rain.

BTV down to 59F by noon after 70F at 7:30am. Good call Tip on the colder air working down the valley. 50s in NVT and 80-85F most of SNE.

Looks like the front is through back home? Was 73F at MVL at 11:30pm and now down to 66F as of 1:20pm. North wind at 10-15mph. Temp is going the wrong way diurnally.

What?

Isn’t tan the most rain on that map?

Dangerous using the GFS though, right? 3km NAM had some nice enhancement over the Tolland Massif.

Was there today too, ha. Photo looks familiar. Fantastic day for it. French Fries and Del’s Lemonade for lunch. When in the Fair… first time in probably 15 years after going every year growing up.

Trying hard for it to be in NNE, then models shift it strongly into your area and now you are trying hard for the mid-Atlantic? I can’t figure out if you want rain or not anymore lol.

I am sort of rooting for the more Stein vocal N.CT to Taunton axis to end up with the most rainfall of all of New England by the time fall arrives so when people look back on water totals in 2022 warm season they’ll be like “what drought?”

The problem is think about if you hacked into those systems… you hack an airline’s AI that takes over control and you have some Tom Clancy novel stuff going on with terrorists remotely controlling a jetliner or something.. I think there’s strong resistance to allow a computer or outside entity take over manual controls.

Yeah he stole a commercial airline, I think it was Alaskan Air? They had fighter jets with him and I think he even pulled off a full loop-de-loop in the thing… there’s some audio of the Air Force guys being like “That was nuts.” Unfortunately he did crash it into an uninhabited island after trying a bunch of stunts.

That’s my type of golf right there. 85-90. Beautiful evening at a campfire… Treehouse brews and dare I say the Carhartt hoodie and shorts felt mighty comfortable. Certainly could’ve done without the hoodie too though. Keeps the mosquitoes at bay.

COC business suits out today in CT. This weather is intoxicating. Weekend forecast on my folks’ hallway wall:

It’ll be much narrower than the global model QPF too IMO. Along that boundary. HRRR, 3km NAM, etc will show that.

Timely post as it looked like most guidance shifted south a bit. Hope you get drenched so I can head back north and get a nice afternoon/evening hike in. GFS almost lets me. GGEM spreads the wealth.

Crisp night in NE CT. Feels wonderful. Different type of blue. Saw MVL at home made it to 39F and nearest PWS was 39.6F (ode to MPM).

Cold air mass when it’s 50F and OVC at 4,000ft at MVL. Lately needed full great rad cooling conditions to get that before midnight. Need it to clear out. Lol at Wind Chill of 12F on MWN. Mansfield wind chill is 28F.

I’m on the same page, just busting balls about summer radiational evenings. I knew the forecast and didn’t even bring a hoodie down to CT. T-shirts and shorts all the time. I’ll do hoodie and shorts deep into fall even up north. As long as you keep your core/organs and head warm, that’s all that matters. I’ll hike in shorts until Nov as long as I’m moving and the core is layered warm. Or shorts with like Under Armor base layer bottoms. Look like a hippie on the Appalachian Trail a bit with tights and hiking shoes but I hate walking/hiking/active in pants.

Definitely a Chamber day like everyone loves. I could do 6 straight months of this to be honest.

Ah how about 60s in the evening?

Ok so summer evenings are no hoodies needed unless it’s 40s or 50s type cold as AWT. Thanks for clearing it up.

So like in summer and now, when do you guys put on hoodies because it seems like no matter what temperature it is you guys balk at the notion of hoodies? Plenty of times we post in summer that it’s like upper 60s to low-70s at like 8pm and the comment is always comments that no one wants hoodies around the camp fire.
