Yeah it makes sense to do it in the middle of the day. I just find with the added daylight the time sneaks up on you fast. You can start a hike to the summits at 5pm with no problem and be down by 8pm with an hour of light left. Folks are starting 18 holes at like 4-4:30 and getting in with light to spare. Or you are out in the garden, playing with the dog, etc and all the sudden it’s 8pm and haven’t started making dinner. I love the long daylight, I wish we could have it in the winter too, ha. The day seems so much longer.

It is sad once the days start getting shorter. I love the late daylight but I also find we eat dinner so late because of it. In January it’s like 6pm rolls around time for dinner, sun’s been down since 4:30.... now we eat at like 8:30 or 9pm even. Terrible to go to sleep with a full stomach but right now there’s some light until 9:15pm (civil twilight or whatever it’s called). I’ve got this mental block eating dinner in like the middle of the day type lighting at 6pm.

Ha, used to be piggy pile but I think yesterday it switched to testicle tickling.

WNW flow heat is the way to go in the over-the-top regimes. Get that afternoon well mixed heat with a breeze and low dews. Out hot days up north have been like that... you get that high of 87F but it's 52F in the morning with low dews.

SNE down the I-95 corridor along the east coast is like the only wet spot outside Great Lakes and Pac NW. You can see Bob's Taunton wet axis there.

More over the top heat? It'll get hot everywhere but holy sh*t at some of these progs way up north in Canada. It's got like multiple days of 2-M temps in the mid-90s even at the very top of this graphic. Just a full on Canadian blow torch coming up. All the while, every day for the next 7-10 days the entire southeastern United States is shown as below normal 850mb and 2-m temps.

Hopefully we can get these orographic clouds to finally start disappating. Visible satellite today (and yesterday) has looked like an EPS mean snow map from last winter, following the terrain.

Awesome man, right there with SLK at 31F. Love anomalous weather and we keep flipping from anomalous heat to anomalous cold and back. Normal seems boring all the sudden lol.

48/45... clouds keeping it warm. Wish we got a clear/calm night with this air mass.

We had some sunshine kick MVL up to 58F very briefly around noon, but all afternoon from 1pm onward has been 52-53F. I was an idiot and forgot a window open, so the dining room thermostat is down to 62F and I refuse to pay for heat in mid-June so told the wife to bundle up, lol. Wonder if indoors gets into the 50s, I moved the set point to 58F.

Was a cold day in the high terrain... temps rotting in the upper 30s above 3,000ft. Dark, thick clouds all day. It really had an October vibe today with that cold, dark, gloomy feel. The only difference is all the vegetation is bright green, ha. Here's a view out into the Champlain Valley on my hike.

Two days ago we had dews at 12pm around 70F with a bit too much azz sweat for my liking.... today it's mid-30s and it's a bit too dry/cold, ha. These up and down shifts, there's no way for the body to get used to either one.

51/36 Feels like fall, should be some college football on this afternoon right? Might do some apple picking and get cider donuts before that.

Yeah that band of showers was likely snow up there. The Whiteface cam has something frozen on the lens... 27F up there.

You're about to see that view with some June rime if the modeled temps occur...and soundings have some cloud producing moisture in that upper mountain level. Looking at that northern slope of the Presidential's across the way, you will see some awesome rimed white views from your location. Heaviest/most visible riming is often on that northern/western facing terrain, as that's the direction moisture moves in during most cold air advection regimes.

The station dews are pretty interesting... sharp gradient of low-60s in SE Mass with 40s from the Pike northward and even 30s as you get you get into S/C VT and NH. It's almost like a coastal front in SE Mass in a snowstorm... low 30s and pasted, while it's in the teens with dry powder not very far north.

That's a fantastic evening. Mild enough to be summer, eat outside, but with low dews.

Hiking this afternoon, the dog stopped to roll in an old rotting pile of snow. Trained like a good snow weenie. Edit: Holy shit that link comes in large on a laptop. Anyone know a way to shrink the reference link?

I've been 80F or higher 9 times since just May 22nd. Like you, 87F has been my high this month but May's high was 93F, ten degrees hotter than yours. Given the climo differences between MVL and TAN, it's certainly been hot up here when its hot. When it's cool though it's been cool. I know that sounds weird but SNE seems steadier. We've been wildly swinging from in different directions. For example, we are +0.1 for the month.. pretty much exactly normal.

I want to see the one for the mountains... bears, rock slides, tree might fall on you in the wind, ticks with Lyme, mosquitoes with West Nile, etc.

Anyway, not sure why you'd want heat and humidity to go to the beach... so many hazards at the ocean. Good grief, weather.gov/safety really hitting all the hazards of the beach. Seems downright dangerous to hit the beach based on this NOAA graphic, lol.

I mean, it wasn't even excessively warm above normal... definitely averaged above but not sure I'm calling this a huge win on a heat wave torch call... it was much warmer in departures earlier in the month. Each station had 3 of 4 days above normal for the much anticipated heat. BOS was +2/+4/-4/+3. BDL was -3/+6/+7/+5 (earlier in June had a +10/+10/+9 stretch).

Why do you believe that if you call for a heat wave (3 days of 90F+) that anyone who disagrees means it will be cool or a trough? Not trying to be a dick, ha, it just seems like there's a disconnect there.

We ride the rollercoaster, hands in the air. Up and down.

lol... what a grid point forecast for June covering Mansfield. That’s like a nice mid-winter day in BTV. Saturday...Partly sunny, with a high near 34. Northwest wind 9 to 17 mph.
