Like Dendrite and Tippy were talking about, looks like a wild gradient ride on EPS and GEFS. Trying to sneak some more ridging into southern parts of the Northeast, while Canada stays cooler. Sort of like BDL is above normal while CAR is solidly below normal. You wonder if we end up gradient pattern style... it's definitely not an over-the-top heat look, ha. Could have warmer anomalies the further south and west one goes.

MVL popped a 90F at 12:35pm, but given rounding of Celsius may not be legit yet. Already up 35 degrees from the morning low after a 40 degree swing yesterday.

I was just up top of the Gondola at Stowe and man it felt good up there. Thermometer said it was in the upper 60s. Breeze.

It all can’t be hot and it all can’t be cool. And weather varies. Need to be able to differentiate between say Fathers Day Weekend and this weekend. Both were not hot and both were not cool. It’s ok to acknowledge it was cool, now it’s hot .

The easy test is to ask any member of the general public if they’ve thought June up till now was warm/hot… I think everyone knows what they’d say. They’ll remember the heat being on inside for Fathers Day Weekend. It’ll finally start changing as we are getting some actual summer weather in here. Yesterday was a +4 day up here and it was hot. 88/48 spread.

It's a great vibe. Summer. Nothing very noteworthy for the time of year, but it's right on schedule. Getting into summer vibes at the end of June, when it should climo wise. Sometimes humans want to rush the changing seasons, but this year it has seemed to follow the calendar. It's time to be warm/hot for a couple months.

64/61 at 10pm while letting the dog out. Summer vibes with dews over 60F. It’s a heavy evening air, trying to fog out along the river. Probably won’t drop beyond the upper 50s. A 40-degree diurnal spread today from upper 40s to upper 80s.

Right above the black roof of the HS. Just radiating heat into that sensor. Will have to keep that in mind. Be interesting if they also threw one up out in the field behind the station in the photo. Bet they could get 2-4F degree differences during daytime… maybe much more at night? 2-m over soccer field vs. 3rd story over brick building… nights would be much cooler.

Someone should post the whole image itself so we all know what we are looking at. Is that Heat Index? Maxes? For when?

Wow, not much of a torch there it seems.

MVL up here with 88F so far. Been bouncing between 84F and 88F depending on cloud cover. Nice summer day.

Hard to mix out under dense tree canopy. That sounds about right for a PWS reading when official dews are in the 50s out and away from thick canopy cover.

Oh man, exactly. Didn’t appreciate O’Brien mentioning he was the AL RBI leader so many times . Houck seems to like that… making the 9th interesting.

Summer vibe this morning for sure. Just hits slightly differently when you go outside than it has for the past couple weeks. Got down to 48F last night for great sleeping weather but up to 72F now and the dew point into the upper 50s. You know when upper 50s dews feel humid that it's been coolish lately.

GFS trending warmer late next week before the mild down around the 4th/5th. Pinches off some decent warmth into SNE. Then widespread Chamber temps for the 4th. No azz-sweat.

Adrenaline spiked evening. Wife and I chilling on the couch, Red Sox game on, and out of no where the dog goes into full on alarm mode. Look over and there's a solid, sizeable black bear 15 feet away at the back porch, looking into our living room. Only thing between it and us is a sliding screen door. Props to the wife for the quick movement, lightning fast ditch the iPad and move towards the bear to slam the glass slider shut. Bear goes around the corner towards the kitchen slider (also open), we run to close the other sliders, dog is going bonkers... bear then takes off towards the river. We head out cautiously, me with long lens trying to get a photo, but alas we can only hear it thrashing around in the brush and I didn't want to push my luck. Definitely getting a Nest cam now, looking at them right now. Would've loved to have that on camera. The bear down on all fours was about waist high on me and I'm 6'3". Looked like an absolute unit. Wife made lasagna tonight, smells great out of the oven, 3 open slider doors letting aroma outside, he was curious.

79/52 in the valley (high of 81F). Hot with low dews. Just a perfect Friday evening. Summer.

Dendrite ninja'd that

Lets get some sub-540 thicknesses in here for July 4-5th.

Up to 77/57 at MVL. Hottest day in what feels like a while.

Yeah I don’t have any numbers but anecdotally I’d be hard pressed to believe anything other than the best population is thriving and growing. I rarely if ever saw a bear my first like 5-7 years in Stowe, on the mountain, wherever. Now you see more of them than deer to be honest. They are everywhere. On the mountain, in town, etc. And anyone you talk to around New England seems to say they’ve seen more bears show up.

That must’ve been the year BDL set warmest month on record and it was done with mundane highs and ridiculously high mins.

It’s been much different than last year for sure.

I’ve read the first post a dozen times and still can’t see where there was mention of below normal temperature anomalies.

Bear trying to break-in, sticking claws under garage door and pulling upward. The video shows the bear knows how to get in, but doesn’t smell anything that warrants ripping the garage door off it’s hinges.
