BOS is averaging above normal past 4 days. Feel like that’s still important to note. Today might end up -1 though.

We’ve had some of our hottest days in NNE early in the season in May and June the past 5 years or so. We’ve had some real record scorchers.

SLK saw a high of 53F this afternoon. Average high is 71F. Same max temp departure that would trigger 91F on the hot side at that 1600ft+ elevation. Guess there has been some relatively cool air lagging behind the trough axis.

Been a raw day. Folks lighting up the wood stove I’ve seen on social, ha. The 1,500ft level has been living in the low-50s all day and dipping into the upper 40s with upslope misery mist and light rain occurring. A cold season precipitation vibe, not convective. Ski area was quite damp, while at home it was a much reduced misery mist and very fine droplets (drying out in the valley). I hate wasting some of the longest days of the year on this crap. Need clear skies and sun. Don't care the temp, just need that late sun in the evening.

Not sure you want to chin up in that situation.

I don’t know, it’s not like DIT to hype up something he wants. Very out-of-character. It might have legs.

+1 to +2 would be a big improvement over some recent years, ha. Let’s goooo. Big winter.

Today was the worst yet. High of 60F at MVL. All day in the 50s with brief hit to 60F. Now this might actually get a negative departure.

Yeah it’s been raining for days up here NW… had another round move through this AM. Think we are near 2.50” since Friday AM. It’s been nice though for the garden, as it hasn’t been high rain rates, or raining all the time. Just frequent soaking rains for the vegetation.

Like the boiling frog myth… just a slow steady rise but nothing earth-shattering. Just the most mundane way to get ridiculous departures.

This trough produced two +1 days at BDL. It’s wild to me that we needed that trough just to get near what temperatures should be at this time of year. I do hope we can see a legit like 5 day period averaging like -5 departures again sometime to see the reactions.

We’ve seen the monthly departures at ORH and BDL cool off to only +5 to +6… need to get them back up to the baseline of +8 or so. It’s just absolutely wild how warm it’s been for so long back to last November.

Over 2” in the past 3 days… occasional showers over a long duration. The vegetation has loved it. Still that light green of new/young growth in the trees. Moody day in the mountains. Multiple days of cyclonic NW flow. This is what that looks like when it’s cold aloft and there’s topography as a barrier.

I feel like a breeze is a game-changer at those temps/dews. Like stagnant air at those levels, god that must be awful. Which sort of makes me curious to experience it at the same time, ha.

It took low dews, clouds, wind, to produce a climo normal day.

Gotcha, I just got the sense from some of the posts that people expect more warmth this time of year. However, guess when the first 7 days of June starts sustained +7 to +8 at BDL and ORH, you start thinking that’s normal. Then a “normal” day near average feels like it’s way below the set baseline. Its pretty crazy that we get a deep UL trough and it just cools off the +8 to 0 and everyone is like wow this weekend was chilly. The highs at ORH and Kevin’s should barely be clearing 70F this time of year as a baseline and BDL record lows are still in the 30s. Feels like it would take an act of God to get a min of 38F at BDL right now in June, ha.

BOS normal 73F, hit at least 75F today. It’s wild that people think this is cool for the time of year. We’ve lost touch with reality given we are used to it always being an unmitigated torch.

BDL’s average high right now is 77F. Today it hit at least 78F there. So today could be a tick above normal in CT, and all of you guys seemingly talking about it’s chilly or not summer, ha. It’s not even a “cool” day relatively speaking.

Several rounds of quick hitting showers and storms. Squally type day. Heres right before another round pushes over the Spine.

1.15” last evening and night. A nice soaking for the pollen.

I'm not sure I ever saw pollen plumes like today. The increasing southerly winds really had it looking like blowing snow out of the forests, except the color was light green. There was a pollen wind-lip on the edge of the hood of my SUV today, blowing and drifting . Whiteface Mountain shared some photos on the official ski area account about the pollen the past couple days. Montpelier today. Wind stripping the trees.

Pollen increasing rapidly. 1” last hour.

Been loving the Stein overall. Would love if it didn’t rain for three months. Unfortunately this weekend looks wet.

It was a summer evening. Those ASOS dews of 65-70F bring the summer vibe. I don’t necessarily like the dews, but can appreciate the feel/vibe as summer. Long daylight this time of year, 8pm dog walks seem just as bright as any time of the day in December, ha.

It is an absolute steam bath this evening. Had about 0.30” rain earlier to prime the low levels, now it’s 82/70 at MVL this evening. First 70 dew of the season at the ASOS and it feels it after days of dews in the 40s.
