Awesome, I’ll be down in 4 hours. Will stop at NETA in Northampton and stock up.

Ginxy living the life. Up here it’s varying a lot depending on cloud cover in the 5-min data. Last hour ranging from 82-88F bouncing around.

BTV 90/72 a little before noon. They stayed 80s overnight until some rain at 6am dropped them into upper 70s. Nothing like low-80s at 2-3am.

Some of the primary North Country ASOS highs. BTV.... 94F MPV... 89F MVL... 89F HIE... 88F BML... 88F SLK... 85F CAR... 85F

Yeah! That’s what I mean when talking about the nocturnal jet that sets up there out of the south. I don’t have the study or write-up handy but in the last decade they’ve found evidence of a nocturnal low level jet on the VT side of the lake where air is routed north between the cooler, stable lake air and the Green Mountain Spine. And at night they have a lowering inversion or less mixing in adjacent areas I guess, resulting in higher surface wind speeds in a corridor from Addison County up through Franklin County on the VT side of the lake. Places like Plattsburgh, NY and NY side of lake seem to run slower wind, cooler temps. You’ll see BTV almost get windier or stay at similar levels at night when other stations drop off. Their temps reflect the mixed atmosphere without insolation. I love that mesoscale stuff.

BTV has a steady south wind and 86F at 9:30pm. They've pulled off 80F mins before, wonder if they do it again. That place just gets windier at night too when the south jet starts ripping north up the VT side of the Lake between the mountains and the cooler lake waters.

This is wild. I love mountain weather too much to not live out there at some point in my life.

Thats awesome. Still 79F here. Got to 89F.

82F here too... but the sun is just barely going down as well. With that late solar, temps stay high late in these air masses. Funny in mid-winter it's been pitch black for like 4 hours by now.

That’s kind of what I’m thinking in deciding to go hang with the parents in CT or stay up here and go to BBQs and fireworks. I mean if it’s raining, floating on the lake sounds less fun, evening campfires aren’t happening, hanging out grilling on the deck, etc. Rain is what matters… less than temps. If it’s raining more often than not in a showery regime it’s not like the weekend holds promise because the dew is 70F. The weekend depends on dry.

I’ve always wanted to drive Beartooth Pass. Cool little summer ski area up there, though I think the heat caused a major avalanche that took most of their snowpack with it.

Yeah I agree too, of those two options that’s more likely. No one thinks it’s going to be 52F though and that’s hyperbole. No run shows afternoons of low-50s lol. If low 70s, humid and rain is a “win” then the bar is set sufficiently low.

It’s certainly an option, without a doubt. I think most are talking about the same things or minor variation with different ways to describe it. Someone might say 72/68 with rain showers isn’t a nice weekend but someone else could say it’s humid and summery. Its hard to tell what folks mean when it’s all subjective. I honestly don’t even know what you are saying with “why is it hard to envision a warm humid weekend?” Is that 85/66? Is it 70/70? Subjective wording is hard to figure out.

Does anyone thing it’ll be 52F for 2-3 days? Its all relative to climo. Even a day in the mid/upper 60s is pretty cold for July in a relative sense. Looks like the Euro is two days of 60s with nights in the 50s.

Heading out after the Sox game finishes up. Nice Sunday. But it’s a heater out there. BTV up to 93F.

Garrett Richards on the Sox sounds like he’s about to retire after his next start over this, ha. He’s like “I’m not a major league pitcher without some sticky shit on my hand. Have literally no idea where the ball’s going. Glad I made it this far before the crackdown started.” It is pretty funny, can tell who’s a legit pitcher and who’s not.

88/70 Pretty impressive but then again it’s like the third day this season of high dews and near 90F, so maybe not that impressive. It’s the dews with those temps that seems wild to me at the ASOS in a field.

We are all definitely losing this game from so much trash talk in the 5th inning . Third time through for E-Rod can get sloppy. But if Cora puts Matt Andreise out there and it’ll get close in a hurry.

He’s still an ace pitcher but I mean, hand a guy a contract worth a third of a billion dollars and get him on the mound to avoid a sweep at the hands of your bitter rivals… and that’s what happens.

6 runs through 3 innings. Tough to see all the trucks of money paid for him.

4 runs against Cole in the 1st inning for the Sox. Devers hit that over 450 feet. Love this team.

Yeah I’m watching. Might head down to Woodstock but if it’s going to rain I’ll just stay up north with friends. Be curious to see how it shakes out.

Yeah that sounds reasonable. I mean if low-70s and afternoon downpours is a "win" on 4th of July weekend then the bar isn't set all that high to begin with.

lol. Ginxy going for the AMWX wet award this summer.

Talk about whiplash. That's wild. Folks will be putting winter jackets on in the 50s after 95-100F.
