Yeah it definitely switched in there from NNE to SNE. August really hasn’t been that hot up here at all. Big switch from the like +4 and +5 stuff in June/July. I think Bob seems like the worst of it. I don’t know how TAN/BDL compare this month but TAN seemed to have higher dews most of the time when I checked. Definitely more marine humid air when some of those well mixed days dropped dews at BDL/ORH and interior sites. You’d see those guys drop into the 50s while TAN sat at 70F+.

Yeah we are gusting even like 30mph in the valley. Dew was 65F at 1pm and now 53F. It’s like the humidity just vanished in a few NW breezes.

Hottest June and July on record for the picnic tables. August hasn’t packed any punch up here but from like that May day when it was 97F or whatever at BTV and 93-95F at SLK/BML/MVL through the end of July was definitely other worldly up here. I think we got 11 days of 90F in from May/June/July and only one weak 90F since then.

That’s crazy. We hit 81F for a max in the valley over the last 4 days. 70s today with gusty NW winds and dropping dews.

I’m rocking one of the gnarliest farmers tans you’ll see... tons of outdoor time in the sun on the mountain, forearms and face are as dark as ever but then my wife needs to put sunglasses when we go swimming.

Your house won’t sniff 90F.

The wind is really starting to crank from the NW on the mountain now. Here comes that CAA. Top station is sustained 30-40mph, gusting 50-60 out of the NW. Haven’t really felt this NW wind vibe in a long time up here. Very cold season-esque.

To be honest that doesn’t sound like DIT. Maybe you have Dendrite and him confused.

Brutal 72F up here today. Special indeed.

Just noticed how wet last nights Euro run was. Upstate NY floating on off from tropical moisture.

One county between them, that’d be wild.

Holy crap at that boundary lol. 50F at MVL and 90F at BDL? Tamarack wandering through woods in full flannel outfit while DIT walks around with a couch stuck to his nads?

Left the mountains to go down to the lake for the afternoon. The Champlain Islands area is pretty cool... it's always insane to me that in like an hour drive or so you can go from big terrain like Mansfield to the 6th largest body of water in the United States. Off in the distance is the massive thunderstorm complex that was in Addison and Rutland Counties, as this is looking south/east.

I agree with you. Did everything I normally do in a summer, tons of outdoor time and daily dips in the river or pool. More humid than I would like but the big NNE heat first half of the summer was actually historically noteworthy... if it’s going to be hot, might as well do it like this up here with several monthly and station record max temps.

Looks like they hit 89F around 12:10pm before the rain. Max temp after the rain appears to be 84F at 3:15pm. Looks like if those storms were even 15-30 minutes later they would’ve popped 90F before 1pm.

The monster that lives under DIT’s bed.

That thing looks solid south of BDL.

Stuff we like to read this time of year... First mentions of 0C 850mb in the AFD. .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... As of 354 AM EDT Monday...Mid/upper lvl trof deepens acrs ne conus on Tues Night into Weds with moderately strong llvl caa behind departing cold front. Have noted progged 850mb temps near 0c off the GFS at 12z Weds, while NAM is in the 2-3c range, with breezy 850mb winds of 25 to 35 knots. This will be an advection type cold, with coldest values at summits and warmest near Lake Champlain.

Pretty decent shot across the bow on Wednesday. Tuesday afternoon the GFS and NAM have 60s up here while BDL is 90F though, lol. But Wednesday's high temps look pretty nice region wide... 50s up north and 60s to maybe low 70s way down south.

Rain showers moving through up here right now... not warm at 73F but it’s very humid. Dew has to be near 70F now that it started raining.

I've always loved the topography down there. As an Albany kid, taking weekend school bus trips on the weekend to S.VT areas like Snow/Bromley/Stratton/Magic, once you got towards Manchester it felt like you "arrived" in the mountain communities. All the sudden you are driving through a valley with 3K or higher around you. It'd definitely a solid vertical relief area compared to other parts of VT that are more rolling hills.

That’s some big rain. There's an axis of 4-6" rain, with a surrounding zone of 2-4", and widespread 1"+ rainfall. Like Tip said earlier, that's some Iowa stuff. Here's a snapshot of RT 9 in Mass... got raked.

What a rain event just north of the Pike and west of ORH. Narrow zone there with 4-6" it seems. There's a spot in Ware, MA just over 6" if it's legit. But it's in the same zone as 3-5" amounts. Wickabog Pond in Brookfield probably saw a pretty good rise in water level. Nearing 5" in that area.

September is so much like March... it offers a mix of both the previous season and also starts to preview the upcoming season at times. Also can lead to some big gradients across New England for sensible weather as the seasons start to battle it out.
