Don’t worry there will be plenty of hot and humid autumn evenings when you want it crisp and cool in Rocktober.

I mean let’s be fair, we are all weather junkies and I’m addicted to looking at every model run all winter long. If a hurricane is hitting we are all addicted to the drama of it. Like Tip always talks about, we are sort of slaves to technology giving us information. Weather, sports, news, whatever. I know one up here who hates on the media for talking about COVID but then they’ll have 4 browsers open at work while eating lunch streaming FOX and CNN like they can’t get enough of it. Humans love the drama. I always say you can live in a local bubble very easily if you want to and totally tune out news. Hell I feel like I wouldn’t know if half the United States just floated away into the Pacific unless it was mentioned on this forum or maybe the Red Sox broadcast mentioned it .

This thread is my only window into COVID, it’s felt done for a long time but not sure what else we’d talk about here without it… the weather? Ha! In all seriousness though humanity loves drama. People love drama. They crave it and are obsessed with it. Addicted to 24/7 news cycles, always checking news sites, etc. COVID is drama. I truly believe people on both sides of the debate are just addicted to the drama of it all too.

NWS knows. NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... As of 333 PM EDT Saturday...The forecast for the next 12 hours continues to feature pleasant fall-like weather and increasing clouds. Temperatures are in the upper 60s to mid 70s, and dewpoints are in the 40s to near 50. It`s about as perfect as the weather can get for a Saturday afternoon.

A couple of top 10s the past several few days. Just suffering through this air mass. Asking all the families picnicking at the picnic tables, “isn’t this just awful?”

I should set a cam up on the Rec Path or any hiking trail. Rec Path is like I-93 in Boston with bikes right now. Kids swimming in the river (they dgaf)… like Tamarack said, the sun is still very warm. Big shade/sun difference today.

Holy f’ing shit. That one at the end that just annihilates the bridge.

Yes, that bright, bright sunshine on a Saturday with little puffy Cu dotting the landscape is just downright dreadful. No one has any reason to be outside today, just too cold. Everyone is just wishing for those cloudy, showery, tropical times because at least the dews were in the 60s. Now that was great summer weather for the last month compared to today.

Summer at the peak of New England. Definitely a bit difference between the 4K feet picnic tables and the ones at 6K feet.

Just ruined my Friday Night mood a bit, ha. Autumn evening out there. Clouds and wind stopping it from getting real chilly. Dews in the mid-40s.

Facts. Beer and sushi.

Its about relative to how dew points have been looked at over time and compared. And in the larger meteorological context of model data and observations. Will has explained this to you numerous times each summer lol. Yes, your backyard dew has always been higher even when you didn’t know it. When you used to start to feel it get a little humid 10-20 years ago and you turned on TWC to watch the “Local on the 8s”, you’d see an airport showing 61F for a Td. Oh right, makes sense, they say anything over 60F starts to feel humid, it says 61F. The whole time you were doing that your backyard was probably 65-66F but you just didn’t know it. So when the local news pops this graphic up, as they have for decades, it is based on the ASOS system. They should make a new one up for your home stations but just add 5F to each level. Comfortable on a home station is up to 65F, or ASOS of 60F, etc.

He still doesn’t understand how this works after all these years? The dew point scales of how stuff feels and model data is based off the ASOS dews. Well actually he does know it works, he has to, and just tries to hide behind his dews, ha.

Just bustin your balls, figured you meant today . We’ve had passing sprinkles and showers amid some breaks of sunshine… very NW flow type day with quick moving light showers and virga. Feels like autumn waiting for some graupel, ha.

It would be quite a feat if it never rained there again.

Check ORH/BDL which is what that’s based on but you know this.

When it’s 91F at MVL on Columbus Day weekend with hazy hot humid fall foliage viewing, you’ll be able to say “See you deserve this for enjoying those cool summer days.”

That sounds like every disagreement I have with my wife.

We’ve been struggling up through the low to mid-60s today. It’s almost chilly.

End of July with 59F at 11:30am. Fantastic. Yikes.

Easier to get big flooding with dormant vegetation or at least that spring/fall window where stuff isn’t growing at full blast, too. Mid-summer is definitely harder, but still doable with a tropical storm.

An injured rental. He immediately becomes the Red Sox second highest home run hitter. 25 HRs vs Devers’ 27. JD’s 20 is the 3rd highest. But injured.

Anyone worried about a COVID related matter can come along too. Crap game for the Red Sox.

The Stratus never lies, that is legit! Many pours into the cylinder.

The big question for the Dodgers is if they’ll be able to get out of Trevor Bauer’s $30+ million per year contact from the sexual assault stuff. Dude hasn’t pitched in a while on administrative leave and it hasn’t looked good for him since court documents/complaints have trickled out. Those contracts can often have a character unbecoming clause… or something like that where it can be voided for extenuating circumstances. But yeah for sure, there’s definitely a disadvantage for many markets of teams. Money solves many issues. There are always some who are just good at developing talent too and play the Moneyball aspect like the Tampa Bay Rays. Unfortunately for all us non-Dodger fans, they are both good at developing talent with a strong farm system AND have a shitload of money to budget. They are like the Rays with money, they develop players other teams want AND sell them off for established superstars.
