Upper 40s for 999 ft in CT?

Somewhere along the path of the shortwave is going to have decent turning of winds through the column. Poke a little theta-e ridge up the Hudson and I wouldn't be shocked at a tornado or two. Overall skinny CAPE and marginal shear points to a microbursty risk around here. Closer to that shortwave though...

If I had to guess, the mower scuff is where the fungus got in and now there are several other cankers where the tree is trying to fight it off. The crown dieback is what really has me convinced it's something actively trying to kill it.
-
Hmm, sounds easy enough to give it a try. I don't want to lose it because it's most likely I effed it up by banging it with the mower before I mulched around it.
-
Did some investigating around my red maple with crown dieback, and discovered at least a half dozen cankers on the trunk. I'm pretty worried that this may be a losing battle. I'm trying to keep it watered enough to fight off the fungus, but it doesn't seem that I can do much else to help it.

Aurora already visible up at Katahdin. Brought my camera to work, forgot a lens...
-
Aurora sneaking into the area overnight. Forecasts actually show tonight (Monday night) being possibly a better show for farther south latitudes in New England.

Looks like our peonies developed powdery mildew thanks to the recent stretch of dry weather. The last couple of fronts whiffed PWM on rain, nada since 7/23.

In my dreams I own a house large enough to have a golf simulator wing.

Must’ve been the debris all over the runway helping to absorb some solar. *

I can picture Dendrite and his chickens flinging rocks away from CON.

Between this and the snow database BOS is a bit of a hot mess. I'm guessing it's far from the only first order station that has issues though.
-
Technically PWM temperature records only go back to 1940, but the threaded data goes back to 1870 something. July 1876 also average 73.1, but the thermometer was 82 feet up on Exchange Street so who knows how accurate that really is. So definitely the hottest official July and month for PWM, but unofficially tied for the hottest.
-
We average 69.9 here. Closer to 67 as you move up towards Bridgton.
-
Good news is that PWM tied the all time warmest month, even in the threaded database with iffy 1870s records. If BOS was the only site that did it Scooter would be wandering around the Seaport chucking * at random strangers.

Prefrontal trof and the cold front itself
-
Based on the TDWR I can see at least three separate microburst signatures.
-
Nah, we attached the thermometer to a cup anemometer and let it spin around.
-
Big, big fan of the SSE peak wind at BOS. That's a real sign of a microburst, doesn't align with the mean wind.

What happens when lightning strikes a yellow jacket nest?
-
I don't like that MCV, not one bit. I'd watch that convection associated with it. Central MA into SE NH.
-
Looks like it has a little twist to me, so either some type of vorticity max or remnant MCV.
-
All I'm going to say is the WSO was at Bradley, so that's where the records were tracked. Well if we're hot and humid, the jet is most likely to our north. So in the absence of significant surface based instability to sustain convection it is tied to synoptics. And that would all be tied to the upper jet forcing. So it tends to be north as well.
