It's insane. I mean we're supposed to get cold fronts that move through and bring in these type of airmasses. This is still summer weather for us. We aren't supposed to be 90/75 for weeks and months on end...this isn't the tropics lol. 85/59 is just as much summer weather here as is 92/70.
Cool breeze out there this morning. It kind of sucks actually. If you want a cool breeze just open and close your freezer door quickly for 5 straight minutes.
I follow him and talk to him every now and then. I think he just graduated HS a few years ago but for his age he is extremely smart. His posts are solid quality IMO
I wonder if we'll ever be able to get an EML/approaching shortwave to time during a period when its like 95/76 region wide and get MLCAPE 4000-5000 J/KG with 40-50 knots of shear. That's how we'd probably ever get a high risk again (well at least probably NY/PA and maybe extreme western sections of SNE). When I used to be bored I would write discussions with parameters like that here...this could actually verify one day.
Remember back in the days when (especially when looking at soundings for thunderstorm potential) the NAM would show 72-73+ dewpoints and it would be tossed for being too high
Was looking over SSTs and SSTAs in the western Atlantic and if we continue the theme of not getting cold fronts into the ATL we re going to be playing with fire come Aug/Sep.
I was explaining this to my girlfriends parents...though not sure they fully grasp it living in Florida. I think their takeaway was "oh my God that's chilly" when I talked about how lows should be down into the 50's within northern New England
Things just seem much different. Our breaks from this stuff used to be like several days...heck, we could go weeks without 70+ dews. I seriously think we're going to get some stretches moving into August where dews are 77-80F.
It's also not helping matters that oppressive dews are being transported well into the upper-Midwest and into central Canada so what used to drying out NW or WNW flows turns into just another source region for higher dews lol. So our fropas result in dews going from 70's to 60's to round 70 lol
We get a 2...maybe 3 day break from the dews after the Sunday FROPA but dews crank right back up mid-to-late week ahead of the next front. Of course dews will drop again the next FROPA but its only for another day or 2. The overall theme is high humidity and near oppressive at times. A few day break due to a FROPA doesn't change what the overall theme is.
Probably more so the northern half of VT/NH. We may get screwed with s/w subsidence and morning clouds/precip. But up north, closer to the sfc low could be a different game with some better approaching forcing later in the day
Not sure how much develops tomorrow afternoon, probably going to be quite isolated but I'd watch any storm that develops across upstate NY, VT, and NH. Could be room for a few brief tornadoes there. Large helicity field tomorrow and pretty good CAPE
