It’s not perfect until the team has a $240mm payroll and only $1mm of it on the field.

76/68. Had some -RN but wow is it humid. Two-ply after yesterday’s 50s dews.

CAD east of the topographic axis, while west of the axis bakes. Coastal front also gives another thermal barrier. But narrow CAD. Love those modeled nuances. Days and days of warm frontal torching.

I’ve only been to the cape once as a kid that I remember and occasionally we visited Sandwich right off the bridge a couple times in college where a dorm-mate’s father lived on a coastal marsh. Kayaking through the narrow shallow waterways at high tide. I imagine a humid maritime regime regardless of temperatures. And humidity is good for a beach spot. Never been to any islands off SNE… would be fun to see ACK.

86F for the max today. Hot summer day. Currently 66F.

Hotter than I was expecting today… 85/56 right now. BTV up to 88F. Dews in the 50s help.

Phoenix style. Though they might have had more rain?

UVM dorm room soundtrack flash-backs there… I was like that sounds very familiar, took a minute .

So you don't think we should trust that 12z run that effectively ends summer on August 10th or so?

Chamber of Commerce or "Brochure weather".... the type of stuff you'd see photos of in promotional marketing collateral for a town or place, ha. Like today.

Took his lunch money too I guess, after getting bullied by the Plymouth State Weather Center dew point map. Tough seeing folks get hurt when pressed for empirical data on a weather/science forum.

Holy crap. It almost smells like autumn right now standing at the top of the Sensation Quad lift. Dark autumn type stratus cloud layer. Thermometer reads 54F on the lift shack and it’s blowing stiff NW wind. It’s almost cold. MVL sitting only 70F about 3,000ft lower which checks out with dry lapse rates.

BTV struggling to get to 75F on 7/30 is a decent air mass aloft.

Autumn like day vibes. Sitting mid-60s at the ski area with occassional sprinkles or light rain that barely wets the pavement. NW flow, low stratus, breezy, spitting drops.

Even had a couple passing sprinkles at the mountain. Very autumn vibe… lower stratus, breeze, darkish, temps in the 60s.

I find it easy to root for the O’s too to be honest. The farm system is starting to produce and there are more horses in the stable. Cloudy, breezy and cool up here today.

Min of 52F. Windows wide open.

Definitely some local bias with how comfortable it has been. It usually spreads SEward as shown by the height bags moving through, a mixture likely of mid-west record heat plus SE Canada trough. I don’t doubt the highs will over-perform. Minus 1-2 are the “cool shots”…. It’s hard to do low maxes without moisture/clouds/precip this time of year. I think this season gets recognized for low Td residence time. Its been dry relative to the recent experience over the past 5-10 years. The humidity levels have matched the precip amounts. Hot and dry. NE US desert? Does it feed back on itself?

Tomorrow looks like a winner. The NWS knows it. Love when this stuff lines up on a Saturday. && Other than saying tomorrow is about the perfect summer day for the North Country, there isn`t much to say about tomorrow. High temperatures will run a few degrees below seasonal normals as high pressure becomes established. Mostly clear skies with a light northerly breeze of 15-15 mph will make it an ideal day to take in all the outdoor activities that Vermont and New York have to offer. Just be aware of a high UV index tomorrow and protect yourself from the sun. &&

That lines up for sure. No air quality issues right now. Just puffy Cu and crisp blue this evening.

The heat and humidity has been on the increase lately from June and the first half of July…. But man it’s still been much different than recent summers where getting even a day of dews low 50s like today up here was impossible. This year they come in 2-3 day stretches. Tomorrow should be awesome.

78/52 at MVL. Chamber Day up this way.

Ha what a boundary. The two options are 82F here and 107F at BDL…. Or 62F while HFD is 100F?

Holy crap.

75/55 humidity gone. Breezy. Refreshing after yesterdays swamp.
