When’s the high-def web cam going live?

That’s like a night of diamond dust when you find 0.3” of crystals lofted on your car from cold clear skies.

That is mind blowing. Sorry dude. I didn’t know it was *that* bad in NYC. Props for being the most optimistic and upbeat poster too... you never seemed angry or upset about it.

You can see it well on the RH plots for Thursday and Friday. Afternoon RH’s in the 20s% and 30s%, then nighttime in the rad valleys of 80-100%... some good low dew high diurnal spreads there. Looks like some prime days late week.

Took the dog for a walk yesterday and ended up at the Mansfield stake. Even after the heavy rain and high dews, still a solid 4 feet or a touch more up there.

It’ll be nice to get a dry stretch, ~2.6” here so far in May and it’s pretty swampy in the woods. I’m sure once the vegetation takes off it’ll suck most of that up though.

Marine layer banking in there all day? Forecast busted pretty good up here, looked like those clouds would clear but even good mixing this time of year couldn't do it.

We aren't glad we are up here today. Jealous of that Tolland Stem 73F max temp, my folks in Woodstock said it was really nice. High of 58F up here with slate gray overcast all day long. Still hasn't cleared out, this damn stratus layer just holding tight.

That's a legit T-storm. Always cool when an ASOS gets drilled.

Saint Lawrence Valley in Quebec stole the snow this winter, now stealing the warmth. What a run for them right up to Quebec City. Throw CAR and FVE into that too.

It looks decidedly nicer up here temp wise to CNE/SNE every day next week except Monday. Max Temps on the EURO... Canada looks to enjoy a nice week. Look at Northern Quebec... by Friday it's pushing 80F up at James Bay. Tuesday... Wednesday... Thursday... Friday...

Ryan's outlook looks worse than the EURO for Friday though. Thursday it's the other way around. But the gist is generally: Desired weather > Undesired weather

Good point! Wonder when the last time someone got 8-10” and then a TOR warning in the same week? I’m sure it’s happened late season but that’s an exciting week for those folks.

Some lightning, thunder and torrential rain. We were never in line for any severe up here but it feels more like summer with t-storms than the last time it rained hard, and switched to heavy wet snow earlier this week.

Basically it’s not winter in May like the first half of the month, but it also doesn’t scream summer. Something more normal for May looks like a good call.

Just reading it with no real vested interest it seems like it’s somewhere in the middle with a few vague posts. I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone call for a week of 40s, but maybe it’s there. Warming and improving each day sounds like it would make sense but that’s also what Will appeared to post. It doesn’t mean 75F and full bluebird but it doesn’t mean 52F and heavy rain. It could just be 60s with spot showers, which is an improvement from Mon/Tue. I dont know, it seems like semantics and trying to glean too much from a week long forecast represented by only icons. I see 70F and 73F there and assume most of the state is in the 60s outside the CT Valley.

To be fair that graphic has a cloud and rain drops in front of the sun on Friday, too. “Nice sunny warm end of week”, I would’ve expected something a little different there. Maybe we see what we want to see? But either way, 5-8F lower for you, that’s sort of in the middle ground of the two options you seem to be playing up...

Yes, it resides in a cold dark cave high up on a NNE mountain where snow lasts till June and max summer temps hit 65F.

BDL dew point up 40F from yesterday at this time... 18F to 58F. Folks will feel that.

Dewin' the Dew. Lowest dew I could find up here was SLK at 8F but most sites are around 20F until you get to the NW flow downslope drying in S.NH.

Heh, might have to settle here too. 27F to 65F so far, not sure we can squeak that extra couple degrees with some high cirrus coming in. I definitely have a little high diurnal range fetish ha.

That seems crazy for just 24 hours away. Current dew at CON is 16F with 15% RH. BDL at 20F and 19%.

We've got windows and doors open and its in the 50s. The sunshine feels so nice, ha.

Quick recovery from 27F to mid/upper 50s now. Lets get 60F+!

Nice catch. Would be curious to hear the locals thoughts on that. Site changes? "Seemed a lot windier when I was a kid...."
