Definitely warmer this evening. 9pm was 70/57 tonight while yesterday was 63/55 at the same time. You can feel it a bit outside. Wearing a hoodie to protect from getting absolutely mauled by mosquitoes is a bit on the warm side tonight.
-
That couldn’t be any more average if it tried. Climo summer weather, couple 50s dews days but looks uncomfortable next Monday. Stock July.
-
Yeah average is hot at BDL these days for sure. Like 87F is “normal” I think? I looked it up the other day. Up at your place normal is probably 80F? I know we joke but it’s really about the dews. I know you’d rather 75/70 over 90/52.

A week or two ago we had that FROPA drop a very fast 1-2” and the upper Toll Rd slid. The slide ran a few hundred feet down through the woods. They are currently working on reinforcing the hillside. From what I saw on the progress my guess is next weekend it reopens.
-
Saw BDL was like 10F hotter than ORH. Like 88F BDL but 31% RH. Its plenty hot but the dews seem to be lagging. Figured today would be more heat index style to be honest. Maybe it’s more tonight and tomorrow morning.
-
Agreed, there’s a period of pre-frontal dews coming tonight. We’ll get it up here but if it’s like the season playbook locally up here we’ll pinch off low/mid-60s dews for 12 hours immediately ahead of the FROPA. This evening will have a more elevated summer vibe with the SW flow stopping quick cooling.
-
It’s plenty warm/hot. Shorts and t-shirt weather daily even up to the summit. Its just the lack of dews this year so far that’s been so pleasant.

I read the hiking party was covered in snow but mostly powder dust from the dust cloud. By that point I think most of the heavier debris has pulled up short but the powder cloud can rush ahead at like 60-80mph for quite a while before dissipating. It would’ve been hard IMO for the “real” burial debris to make it up that little gully. Had they been down in that terrain trap though might have been much worse off.

Was today supposed to be the start of something hot and humid? 82/54 off a low of 48F. Hopefully tomorrows FROPA cools us off? That 79/55 at ORH must be rough for the 1K foot dwellers. CON at 84/48… hot and 29% RH is how one runs a summer day.

This is absolutely nuts. https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cf4EZ-fKhEk/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Yeah those things survive on the coastal sand dunes and rock because they don't need moisture in the soil. “The Ammophila grasses are widely known as examples of xerophytes, plants that can withstand dry conditions.“
-
I don’t think those grasses are normally green very long at all to be honest.
-
Low of 40F and a Max of 79F today. The valley is a good indication of a dry air mass. High diurnal ranges equal commerce weather. Sunset driving home from Shaws supermarket. Running an errand and the sky lights up.
-
Haha. Again not the biggest country music fan, but every time I hear it is in social settings usually with beer flowing. It's not something I listen to myself. DIT isn't wrong on that side to be honest . No country music playing here by choice.
-
See you can have a lot of fun by a campfire when it’s hoodie and jacket weather. One even has a knit hat on. They look like they wish the dews were higher to really enjoy it. I don’t mind country music. I tend to like the pop country more than the twangy old-school stuff. It’s definitely social music if that makes sense. The upbeat stuff… not the sad love story crap about an old high school girlfriend or whatever.
-
Good stuff so far this month. I think without the dews and stale air, the bugs have been really tolerable all warm season too.
-
Definitely measure every 6 hours under that fluff band.
-
I thought it was Vision-quest or something. VQATT. Dont look at any data, maybe some tweets, but close your eyes and envision the weather you want.
-
The bit is to mock people who use model runs to formulate ideas.
-
Record lows set at Saranac Lake, Plattsburgh, Glens Falls. Up here MVL has a shorter POR (1987?) but the previous lowest was 43F in 2012 and we hit 40F. The super-rare mid-summer record mins. HIE/BML likely were close or in there.
-
This is all my fault. Spent big money installing A/C and then haven’t had to use it yet. Turned it on once for like the novelty one evening with some dews a couple weeks ago but other than that… it’s like buying a new snow blower and then it never snows. After 2-3 summers of seemingly needing A/C regularly starting in May, here we are with a 40F min at MVL in mid-July all the sudden.
-
40s at MYV out in the water in July.
-
SLK at 35F! Yore stuff for July 10. HIE and BML with 37F on the 5-min data. Wonder if there’s some July frost in a couple pockets.
-
41/39 at 4:45am as the light starts to break. This is the coldest July temperature I can remember here in the last decade to be honest. Jeez. We had to close up all windows as it was too cold, that’s s first for mid-July.
-
Car said 51F getting home at 10pm. We mount up. SLK and HIE already in the 40s… Alex should see 30s.
