Yeah, it’s amazing how flat and wide open it is from agriculture in southern Quebec approaching Montreal. Once into Canada it might as well be Kansas until you hit Montreal except for the French road signs. It is just open flat fields as far as the eye can see... until you get to Jay Peak area.

Crystal clear skies over the new Torch Capital of the East Coast... NNE and Canada. Looks like the St Lawrence Valley is already turning into a hot desert.
-
88/56 here at 12:40pm. 90F is a lock. Maybe low-90s? BML is at 90/50 for only 26%... that's some dry New England heat.
-
MWN at 64F already and MMNV1 at 77F. Both summits are within 8 degrees of their all-time record max temps again... much earlier in the day though. What a torch aloft.
-
Very cool to see that wind kick up and a fast temp jump, love how it's all connected. Crazy dry air too, this looks like the 3rd or 4th day in a row without even shallow Cu over the mountains. That's very hard to do in the warm season, especially with temps this warm.
-
Holy crap, yeah. 84F at 11:35am and 88F at 11:40am. That's a solid 5-min jump!
-
84/57... off this morning's low of 48F. After back--to-back days of 43 degree diurnal ranges, we should do at least 40 again today. Looks like BML is close to a 40 degree swing so far this morning already. Nice to see DIT lurking, hopefully he comes back with the heat.
-
Opposite of Eyewall... he moved to BTV and then the airport went two full calendar years without seeing 6" or more in a single event. Of course, he finally got a 30-incher in March 2017 but man that was a rough stretch starting 2015.
-
Got down into the 40s again last night after 88F yesterday, wife had to grab another blanket for the bed as I left all windows and doors open again, ha. I absolutely love this high heat followed by crisp nights.
-
Ha, yeah it’s been odd. Crazy that we had highs in the 50s just over the weekend. This afternoon was almost 40 degrees hotter than Saturday afternoon.
-
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.
