Don't forget eastern CT into where Will lives near 90/495. It's not just a SE thing.

ORH is always just far enough in whatever direction it needs to be.

We beer.

Beer fixes most things, hard feelings too, ha.

Tomorrow and Friday will need plenty of beer by the pool.

Freak and Dendy ganged up on him and he took his ball and went home. 

Brutal bullies.  He always says he hates when people get offended over small things, woke culture, man up, etc… but badger him about dew points and he has to go see a therapist.

Hoping he comes back and can get past the ribbing.

79/57

51F for a low, now up to 62F.  Takes longer for the fog to break in the valley these days.

I’d kill for that. This is absurd.

It is wild… that RT 2 corridor and south shore to Cape.  Can’t buy a drop.

Up here we got screwed today.  West slope of Mansfield into the Champlain Valley had 0.75-1.50”… sort of split me north.  West side of the mountain has had like 2-4” this week it feels like.

Looked like fun from a distance. 

Great pic man!

A whopping 0.15” today in the Stratus.

Sale going down (AGAIN) was the last straw for me.

Worst signing in a long time.  Worse than Crawford, Pablo, etc.  Red Sox have gotten absolutely zero out of a guy making close to $30mm a year… for several years.

At least Hosmer doubles offensive production at 1st base, has worked with Casas as a mentor in the past, and can guide him.  And the Padres are paying all $44mm.

Chaim is like Kevin in March…unsure whether to cheer for warmth or winter, but in the end it doesn’t matter. It’s all a fail anyway.

This is perfect .

72/70 and passing showers.  Swampy.

His goal is a 40 man roster with 40 medical reclamation projects lol 

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.

That’s hilarious. Atlanta, Georgia colder than the summit of Mansfield?

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.

August is typically very warm and humid there. Best month to go for beach weather.  I’ve noticed sometimes that area of the upper Cape is cooler relatively speaking. Sometimes it’s last to clear from low clouds.....must be a cooler eddy there? It’s also an area where MVY does not have an effect on the wind direction. MVY can disrupt the low clouds moving northeast.

I absolutely love the Cape. Each year we always have a great time with good memories. We typically do the bay side which has very warm water and epic sunsets. Brewster, Orleans, Eastham area. 

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.

I had 12 days of 90+ during July and a mere 1.41" of rain.

 

Phoenix style.  Though they might have had more rain?

And then I use some more

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

The Euro at 00z pulls off the largest c500 mb height anomaly spatial layout out perhaps in years by this Friday and Saturday, encompassing everywhere S of 50 N ?   

71 F 18z Friday.   Ok -

Meanwhile, the GFS thinks it's late November with the power of polar jet it Neptune's across southern Canada...so much so that it ablates the heat's ability to get N without sanding it off by phantom fronts.   It was wrong about the 5 day heat wave because of that reason, and that thing happened in less ridging so there's very little confidence the GFS isn't just typically SPV happy.

 

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

What does COC stand for?  The board should have an acronym definition list.

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.

Boy Dendy and PF really hurt Kevin’s feelings. 

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.

It’s almost 90° down there…wtf? lol

  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.
