I’m totally joking, too. Know you love your kids and I know I would if my wife and I go down that path soon. Unfortunately COVID is probably rolling that back a couple years. Don't know if now is the time to jump into parenting with so many longer term unknowns.

This cut off was probably the most “interesting” thing to happen meteorologically this summer, ha. We even have a different thread for it, that’s saying a lot in the summer.

Your choice my friend .

0.26” today with 1.24” event total.

Anything over 65F probably works for the “high” range up here given climatology. I personally prefer 50s all summer, but I also have a high diurnal range fetish so if I could do 50F min, 90F max with low humidity all summer I would.

And honestly, even 80F in full solstice sunshine is plenty warm enough to swim in regardless of dews. I’m with ya all the way on high dews.... unless your goal is just to go from air conditioned place to air conditioned place. There’s no way the folks that say they love that stuff are opening their windows and doors to enjoy it like one does when it’s Chamber weather. I get Kev’s reason though for warm evenings, dews definitely help in the overnight if you like sleeping in a hot bedroom.

Legit 40mph with foliage trees will bring down a tree.... there’s always a weak one somewhere ready to go. 1 in 500 trees? Ha.

The heat has certainly grown on me in recent years... the dews haven’t, but maybe some day they will. I can’t imagine ever liking a 72F dew point but maybe, ha.

Fixed it for you.

Such a weird phrase to hear in an AFD... “hot air trapped in Canada”...but it’s an over-the-top type summer it seems. Looks like some summer weather will be returning this weekend? LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 344 PM EDT Monday...Upper low finally opens up and departs eastward. This will allow a ridge to build in its place and hot air that has been trapped in Canada to filter into our region. 925hPa temps climb upward to 23-24 C, which will translate to surface temperatures around 90 in the valleys.

How much so far?

All you have to do to get 100" in 30 days is drag your kid around on a sled in the mud while muttering about how much winter sucks. I remember something around that time with muddy sledding in 1-2" of snow that was hilarious. Me losing it in January 2014 when the inches of rain were adding up more than the snow and Philly was doing weekly winter storm warnings didn't result in us getting anything special for snow. Bitching up here can bring mid-level magic though in some storms.

Nice to see it came through for ya! Probably one of the more interesting synoptic weather set ups we’ll see this summer.

Looks like he should be getting crushed.

You have some real bad luck if that complex misses you. Looks like you should get some heavy rain in hour or two, but you’ve had a forcefield up.

You should get to the Ludlow rest area on the Mass Pike, ha. Looks right in line to take a hit. Fly up 91 and bang a right onto the Pike.

Those are some good looking storms in the I-91 corridor. Also looks like some areas of western CT are lining up for quite the training this afternoon. Should be an axis of good rainfall totals there.

I hope DIT can get some good rain out of this... the most skeptical has been the driest of course. Hopefully one of these pinwheels finds him. Meso-models seem to have that area of convection in S.VT and SW NH. dropping through central/western Mass and into CT.

Ha right after I wrote that it just picked up pretty decently. What a whacked radar for June 29th. Looks like January 29th.

KLEW ASOS flying past 3.0" now. Looks like most of the drought is getting erased in Maine, lol.

It's weird getting light stratiform rains from a radar that looks like a nor'easter but yet it's pretty humid out. We won't do much rain today but it's just like a sheet drizzle to light rain at times.

Someone should change the name of this thread, put all the summer ULL stuff in here. .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... As of 348 PM EDT Sunday...On Tuesday, a broad and weakening area of surface low pressure will be situated across southeastern New England, with upper-level lows vertically stacked on top of it preventing any appreciable forward motion. Meanwhile, a fetch of tropical moisture will be drawn northward into the circulation as indicated by modeled relative humidity at 700 mb. So expect plenty of showers with occasional downpours to spiral into Vermont from the east according to the cloud- level winds, while surface winds blow from the north or northeast. Also, very sweet swath of heavy rain on the BOX radar. If yellow is 1"+ that's a decent soaking for many areas.

It's a very interesting synoptic evolution for this time of year. It does seem like it taps some deep, moisture rich air from the southern Atlantic region. This is a moist flow from down south right up into Maine... then pivots back west and south. This is pretty high RH for the 400-700mb layer for the areas that tap that deeper moisture. Humid air mass with dews in the 60s to even 70s southern tier. It can rain. The models are trying to show us something, ha.

Someone near you and Lava is going to get smoked. Every model is showing inches of rainfall over the next couple days in that area. They all can't be wrong. I could see it being more convective so it's not as widespread but maybe someone sees even higher amounts than modeled in localized spots? You get some of these things training for like 12 hours and you'll rack up a lot of water.

3km NAM has like 2-8" of rainfall in western Maine and nearby NH over the next 36 hours alone. It's going to be weird tomorrow seeing convection going from east to west across NNE... opposite direction of usual summer stuff.
