The heat and humidity are coming. Not only will be it big heat and humidity but it will be long-duration. Only short breaks will be when shortwaves rotate through bringing severe weather. People can try to poo-poo or downplay but that doesn't change the reality of what is coming. My recommendation is get your window units and central air units checked to ensure they are operating at max capacity. Get those thick green curtains for the windows to block out sunlight from entering the house. Create a schedule where you are doing all your outdoor stuff either early morning or late afternoon/early evening. Anyone not prepared will regret. There will be so many chairs, couches, etc. stuck to bottoms it will be visible from the space station.

My nose is in the shop

ughhh Albany's radar is down. Can't find any status messages either.

Should get a few storms to chase today! Kind of intrigued by Sunday, though timing looks meh

Yes…got exactly what we were hoping for today

Went back up to Lee. Saw some lightning and had thunder! Rain was insane. Got to the Mass Pike and in Blanford now awaiting the heavy rain again

Yup haha should have stayed

Re-positioned to Canaan, CT

Should see a line of rain and storms get into far western CT. Nothing will be crazy today

Actually it’s only 50 minutes away

leaving now. Lee only just over an hour away

Thinking of going to Lee and then making a move from there. A little worried Albany may be too far north...especially since we'd prefer Troy since its a bit more open. May see some storms get into western Mass later on

Is this a true story?

Thinking of going to Troy, NY (or just east). Been there before...very open and a direct route into southern VT. Tough call where to go but certainly somewhere in eastern NY. North may be better just due to proximity to better forcing/dynamics but south may be more unstable.

yikes

I think there will be a few decent storms up this way tomorrow...just going to have to get lucky and hope we pick the right spot

If this holds its headed towards Gaithersburg where population is ~68,000

Very good overlap of shear/instability along the warm front and likely some terrain enhancement. Sometimes with these warm fronts even a blind nut can find a squirrel

that one west of BWI is pretty wild

A circle of tornado warnings around Baltimore

was going to go to SE NH today too damn

Looks like another year my friend and I will get zilch to chase. We've been doing the last week of May and first week of June since 2009 but starting last year we moved it to the first two weeks of June. Hoping for at least some thunder tomorrow. May have stuff over the weekend. At this point just looking for storms, severe isn't happening.

fair trade off

This is ridiculous. With climate change these critters are going to become a problem. Pretty soon we'll be housing back widows, tarantulas, brown recluses, and those massive Australian dinner plate sized spiders. What does climate change have to do with this? Well these spiders that get brought here will be able to live in our ever warming climate. It's going to get ugly with these bugs.
