Yeah those high elevation drifts last forever. Still a couple hiding in the upper Spruce forest around here too, got surprised two days ago when we came across them! Knowing that most snow gets transported on W/NW winds in these parts, I’m assuming you are looking at the windward side of those peaks... has to be much more on the lee side?
-
Yeah down to 66F now off the high of 88F. We just eviscerated 20 degrees in the last two hours.... 43 degree rise today and already got 22 of them back by 9pm, ha. No need for A/C when the temp rises and falls so fast.
-
Utica-Rome, NY (KRME) is 85/42 for 22% RH. Pretty damn dry heat today, a bunch of stations under 30% RH but RME is lowest I can find.
-
The North American map is pretty crazy... snowstorm going on in the northern Rockies and then a huge torch from Texas all the way to northern Canada, up and over the top of the cool pocket in the mid-Atlantic. Its also crazy how we will torch so much in the next 7 days while the southeastern US is expected to be below normal in the means.
-
Looks like most of NNE beat BDL for temps today assuming BDL max is 84-85F given highest hourly ob of 84F. Even SLK at 1,700ft in the Adirondacks was at 84F for a longer stretch than BDL today. And SLK had three straight freezes this week, ha, then when it gets hot it torches better than the lower CT River Valley.
-
Crazy that’s only 8F off their all-time high. Mansfield got 75F, which is only 10F off their all-time high set in May lol. NNE summits are torching.
-
88/51... maybe we can pop a 90-spot with RH in the 20s%. Just drove past the ASOS, car said 87F so in the ballpark.
-
BTV is 87/50... nice to see upper 80s with these dews. 1V4 is 85/47 BML at 86/49 HIE at 86/47
-
86/53 Up and up we go. Dry heat.
-
85/35 is like my summer dream day. That’s Colorado mountain town stuff...frosty at night and 80s by day and everyone’s out tubing on a river after having the heat on that morning.
-
The ol' heat on in the car in the morning and then A/C by 11am. Up to 84F here. Hot and sunny. Summer.
-
Now it's already in the low 80s after waking up cold with every door/window open at 45F this morning. At this rate we'll do a 40 degree diurnal change by 1pm, ha. Yesterday max/min ended up 82/39 for 43 degree change.
-
I feel like the lack of precip and clouds has helped with the radiational cooling, which has been substantial at times to off-set some of the hotter afternoons. So despite the vibe of plenty of warm afternoons when people are out and about, the nights are getting down there with the dry air masses. We've also had two periods of highs in the 50s from CAA (beginning of month and last weekend) to off set the mid/upper 80s that came between those, ha.
-
Decent NNE/SNE split on monthly departures so far, even with the warm periods. This should get erased pretty fast over the next week though.
-
From west to east up here it gets way below normal in a hurry. BTV... -0.9 MVL... -1.4 MPV... -3.5 1V4... -4.6 Montpelier and St Johnsbury have been ice boxes this month relative to normal.
-
1,500ft in NNE, on the northern side of the barrier (Presidential Range), is going to be a very snowy spot. J.Spin and Alex style snowfall for sure.
-
The NWS forecast reflects the heat for sure... lowest high temp in the next 7 days is 82F at Day 7. These are the point and click highs for 750ft elevation here over the next week: 84/87/89/89/89/86/82. That's a hot week up here, no doubt.
-
What an evening. I love that temperatures keep rising until 6pm with this incredibly long daylight. 4-5pm feels like the middle of the day. Bluebird all day long.
-
81/44 gah so nice.
-
Yeah this is as good as it gets. Temp around 80F, dews in the 40s and not a cloud to be found. A nice 40-degree diurnal swing too.
-
Yeah that sounds right... really stunted our high temps that summer. On the flip side, I’m up at the picnic tables right now and can see MWN to the east, Jay Peak to the north, Killington to the south and Whiteface to the west. There isn’t a single cloud in sight in that entire 360 degree view this afternoon. Really dry air mass or a lot of sinking air. Crazy to see all this topography in a June afternoon completely devoid of even a single shallow Cu.
-
Yeah there’s definitely a good deal of that. Last year didn’t do it either though I don’t think... some summers it seems the mountain gets a thunderstorm 5 out of every 7 days and then other summers it just doesn’t happen. We’ve seen a fair bit of sunshine but then I also think we didn’t see any sun at all this past weekend. But it also didn’t rain. Odd to get that cold aloft and have that trough but be completely dry, just cloudy.
-
Yeah there are certainly those summers... or patterns during summers. I think it was 2015 or 2016 where that really took off, or around there. We never hit 90F that summer and it seemed to rain every single afternoon. Even when we got the hot air masses the big Tcu by 1pm off the mountains would shut down heating at like 85-88F. This is pretty dry for the mountains, we do have those summer months where it rains like 21 of 30 days but only for like 20-30 min a day.
-
SLK has had 3 straight freezes in a row, a week away from the solstice. They've also hit a hotter max temperature than BDL so far this warm season. What a place.
-
Snuck down into the upper 30s last night, but already shot up to 74F... should be able to do a 40-degree diurnal swing today fairly easily. Love these low dews, warm days and great sleeping weather at night.
