This has to be one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. Holy crap.

Models look like they want to sneak a hot one or two days in middle of next week, sandwiched between below normal heights. Looks like another "over the top" situation with a plume breaking off and riding up into Quebec. Gotta love that the hottest east coast temperature on the prog for next week is way up in Northern Quebec with a 90F spot.

Yeah, it always cracks me up. Finishing up a hike it just started to absolutely pour as I got to the car, but I'm thinking, "I just looked at the radar like 20 minutes ago and there was literally nothing on it...how is it pouring now?" Ha. The Spine fires them up out of no where.

That's worth a Congrats.

Nice. Yeah it was a big deal around here as the road hasn't been hit by a slide in a long time. One of those things where you see the large boulders around the base of the Notch but something you assumed happened a really, really long time ago. We are talking geological time scale type stuff, where you could certainly go a lifetime without seeing this. It does prove to everyone that while highly unlikely, it is possible to get crushed by rocks driving and hiking around in the Notch. This photo was my favorite.... the State Trooper looking up like where the hell did this just come from? It's almost like a scene from Jurassic Park, like what could've dislodged that rock? Oh shit here comes a dinosaur through the forest. Here's a drone shot of it, the smaller boulders made it to the road. The largest ones seemed to get hung up in the forest just before the road.

We had a late day spike once the sun came out. Rotted at 70-72F all day until about 2-3pm then spiked to 79F with sunshine by 5pm. What an evening with upper 70s over mid-50 dews.

Good to see BDL trying to catch up to SLK/BTV/MVL/MPV/BML/IZG etc in the 90+ club, ha.

This little critter came out of no where. Brief torrential rain on the mountain. That hill can always figure out a way to get the vegetation watered up there.

73/55 Struggling to warm up. Too many clouds.

Been having some cloudiness but more sunshine now.... up to 71F in the valley and 54F at the picnic tables. Perfect hiking weather.

Oddly enough today was the 6th straight day with measurable precip... though the total is only 2/3rds of an inch or so, with an average of just 0.1"/day, ha. Most of that time the rain that's fallen has been in very short weak showers that barely wet the soil. It adds up in the stratus over 24 hours but not sure what it does to the garden to rain at 0.03" at a time, then dry, then another shower of 0.02", etc. Not sure 0.1"/day of that style shower pattern does all that much.

Day 10 EPS mean for 850mb temps... Probably be pretty warm with SW flow ahead of the cold bowling ball.

EPS 5-day mean next week... Wed/Thur look the warmest after a cool start to the week.

58F at 3:45pm... another lovely June day with intermittent showers and drizzle.

I don’t have recollections of that one. Given the summer date, I was likely in Woodstock, CT for that... back then I don’t even think we had TV there, lol. Cable company didn’t lay wire until a few years later.

Definitely bucket list. I remember 1998 living near ALB but I don’t think that was a derecho, I think my memory of shit hitting the fan is the May 1998 tornado and wind outbreak. That’s the only storm I remember ever fleeing into the basement as trees started snapping in the backyard. But I want to experience the lead up and tracking of a legit 60-90mph derecho event right through New England.

Up to 61F at almost noon. Cooler than I thought it’d be today.

Got up to 64F today... a step better than yesterday’s 58F.

You have been consistent in that message for sure. I certainly thought it would roll over more into the Northeast, in a delayed but not denied style. But now it certainly looks like we rip a quick plume in late week before it just gets crushed into early next week.

I was thinking sneaky in terms of no one talking about it. DIT so concerned with the 8-11th, he may get his hot day(s) well before that.

Friday looks like it could be a sneaky torch day... pretty good above normal plume at 850mb fires in from the SW.

Fog saved us today... been holding at 39F since midnight with 1/4sm vis.

What a month we just finished. May 2020 will be hard to top for variety. From BTV’s summary: “We had a new record high temperature for the month of May at BTV and MPV on May 27th. We set a record for the highest minimum temperature at BTV on May 27th & 28th, the low was 72. Let's not forget that we had our second latest measurable snowfall on May 9th as well.“

Been pretty consistent in showing a couple day cool down around the 7/8th and then the top of heat comes up over the top for a couple days of big heat, then another cool shot comes in. This pattern looks familiar of the highest anomalies riding up into Canada and NNE... Might be a pattern developing there. Hottest temps aloft again over the NNE Mtns there... no relief in the mountains, ha.

Crazy... got some moisture coming in on NW flow that should be snow for the picnic tables. Precip even looks like winter on radar, smoothed vs. convective entering N.NY.
