Yeah we've had some really good timing for summer days. Got some good downpours early this morning to water the vegetation and then break out into sunshine/dews/temps. I think It's about to come to an end though... mountain just disappeared from sight behind a rain curtain, looks like it's pouring as the FROPA comes through.

81/69 right now at the ASOS... certainly feels like summer out there. Wasn't paying attention but seems like we are getting more sun with these dews than expected. Looks like front is through BTV as they just went westerly and dews dropped an immediate 6 degrees.

These northern Vermont dew points right now would make DIT proud. This is by far the highest dews of the season at midday noon.

Picked up just over a third of an inch of rain this morning in a couple good showers. Lots of low clouds now. But wow on the humidity! Dew point up to 69F now at MVL ASOS. That rain jacked up the low level moisture.

Great evening up north. Good to be home. Every time we travel, we get home and are like, yup this is the spot. Taken from a field about a mile walk out the back door. 64/50

Ah f*ck! You are right, the angle of the skew-t slope is greater than the slope of the dew. I had the valley mixing with widening gap trick me into it. I tried to give DIT the benefit of the doubt. I should remember not to do that. Salesman vs science.

With that said, ORH at 1,000ft never had a dew point hit even 60F this afternoon. ORH stayed in the 50s for dews all day long. Must've been a strong dew front between ORH and TOL.

Its negligible but yeah. In the middle of the afternoon with good mixing, especially if comparing a forested hill to a field in a valley. Here's a sounding this afternoon from the CT Valley. The dew point increases about a degree or so with height. But the temperature difference is crazy. Look at that extremely long tail on the temperature plot... that is an insane lapse rate in the lowest 1,000ft. There's a reason DIT talks dews and not temperatures in the hills of NE CT. The temps cool off a lot with any height outside the CT Valley.

Wow. ORH’s dews are in the 50s at 1000ft. It is quite a difference from NE CT at times. We left earlier and it definitely started feeling more humid than the past few days.

I’m not too different... WWBB I think in 2003-04 winter was my first winter on the boards when I was in the UVM dorms.

I could be color blind, ha. My mind always labeled it light green for some reason.

You guys in SNE weren’t joking about the pollen. This stuff is crazy. Car is green from a few days of no use since we arrived. Every day the dog is covered in the stuff, constantly having her go swimming in the lake to wash the green off. Here’s green beard this morning:

Saturday looks very cold. Highs in the lower 60s on the zone forecast, warmer Sunday with upper 60s. Nice October weekend I guess. Saturday Partly sunny with a 30 percent chance of showers. Highs in the lower 60s. Sunday Partly sunny with a 40 percent chance of showers. Highs in the upper 60s.

The hottest station in New England *almost* hit 90F in the vicinity of a calendar date thrown out as the start of an expected heat wave? I’ll drop off the participation trophy on my way back north. I do love the long range calls, they bring plenty of discussion. BDL hit 90F tomorrow?

I always think you mean hot as in it feels hot out. BDL’s temp is up there relative to normal for sure. Today was perfect up in your and Metherb’s hood. Low 80s and low dews. Chamber of Commerce all the way. Now back in the 70s, great evening underway.

Low 80s... low dews... feels like perfect weather here in NE CT. Not rushing to go swimming but great for maxing and relaxing outside.

Surprisingly cloudy all the sudden. And you guys aren’t kidding about the pollen. Holy shit my dog is like green. Even sitting outside on the deck you put your phone down, pick it up 20 min later and it’s got green specs all over it.

Heat wave starts on the 8th? Lots of 70-79F highs across New England from north to south.

This is insane... Alta, Utah on June 8th. Looks like some quality pow too, no wet heavy crap.

I saw Killington from I-89 southbound in the Orange Heights and man was Superstar looking buried. Even my wife was like holy shit is that wall to wall snow. You can’t see the lowest break in the snow from the highway but that top 2/3rds looks damn impressive glistening white in the sun from a distance.

The mountains at 10,000ft plus can snow pretty much all year if the conditions are right... but these were very low snow levels for the time of year. I saw photos of it snowing heavily yesterday in Park City, Utah which is like 6-7kft at like the latitude of Philly in the east. I’d put it on par with snowing hard at the NNE mtn summits right now? But those places out west can also snow by like Labor Day Weekend with a deep trough. Maybe it is easier to get flakes flying at even 7kft in Park City or Aspen at a decently southern latitude than it is at even MWN at 6kft but further north. They seem to wetbulb so well out there.

When you put it that way... 12-hours of snow after the first week in June is more than 4 months of cumulative “winter” in Mass? That’s crazy.

That is bizarre.

Alta, Utah with a foot of new snow at their automated mid-mountain snow site. Looks like even the base area got a nice June dump!

SLK at least hit freezing, maybe a bit lower. Looks like at least upper 30s back home.
