Interesting air mass, the brunt of the heat is definitely S & E of here.  We can often roast with the best of them but today topped at 90F at home and maybe 92F downtown but already down to 78F imby.  Sure it's still DP's in the low 70's but feels like,  just a warm summer evening,  on a train bound for nowhere, maybe I'll meet up with a gambler?

Agreed on the heat being pretty meh.  Warm to be sure but nothing oppressive.  It's the evenings that have been bad with the limited cooling.  We'll see if today's worse like they've been saying.  Either way, it's done after today.

At 12:30, it was 91* at the Greenfield rotary and 85* at the Pit.

I actually have doubts based entirely on an insidious (I used 'insidious' for lack of better word) tendency all summer long to find the lowest plausible temperature, relative to synoptic appeal, and get that number to verify. 

It's a silent trajectory of results this season.. I have never seen anything like it, where we have sustained these kind of heights, and had temperatures "seasonably hot" only.  We really should have popped the cork off the top of history's champagne bottle on highs... I almost wonder if the extraordinarily high DPs have been storing the heat in the pseudoadiabat much of the way.  594 dm heights? No one's even remarking on that... how frequently, and spatially involving that's been... again, under the radar -

Of course, the MEX has been a tad warm biased all season too in its own rite.  But DP that high and a tipping sun angle has me thinking we are a tick or two below the record as opposed to over... 

Granted, I have no confience - haha - just sayn'

We might not have had  the champagne cork popped as you said with the highs, but the nights have been bad.  I don't recall using the fan nearly as much in past years.

Don’t let today fly under the radar.  Classic downslope conditions.

Glad we don't live there.

How about they hire James?   We’d have 75 inch climo in no time....

I hear someone from Lunenburg is looking for new opportunities.

Color me old--hot all the way.

I was on a call with company headquarters the other day--it was funny to see the looks of horror on their faces when they watched me sip my Dunkin' Donuts coffee--out of a styrofoam cup.  They were shook.

So true!  I remember being annoyed during 1969-70, 1970-71, many others because we weren’t getting 3 KUs per winter...lol.  I was young then and like most folks in their 20s not patient.  9 inches with taint was a loss.  Heck, 14 inches with rain on top was.  But now I appreciate those systems greatly!  

Having grown up in New London (CT, not NH), seeing flakes of any ilk was win to say nothing about the joy of a system that could drop 4" of snow before the inevitable change-over.

Down to 52 here. Getting close to having to turn the heat on! I noticed today that the trees are no longer the uniform deep green, and you can start seeing more muted greens and somewhat orangish hues mixed in on the tops. It's coming! 

Noticed that last week as well.  such a great time of year.

My wife pulled out an extra blanket last night.  Felt great with the windows open wide.

We'll we've had thunder and lightning going on about 2.5 hours now.  

Literally constant thunder from 7pm to 9:30pm and still going.  

Local stations near me now over 2" of rain.  Much needed.

 

Congrats.

Shear does increase late afternoon into the early overnight. Nice little ULJ too 

Hopefully won’t impact my flight from BDL @ 8:30pm.

We wound up with 3 rounds of rn++ yesterday/last night.  The one last evening featured some infrequent but close c/g strikes.

Torrential.  73.5*

Rain pics don't garner as much excitement as snow ones. 

Got through the first round of showers here.  I'm not sure if this next round will be far enough east to catch me.

Are u fin kidding me, they were whitewater rafting with a Flash Flood Emergency

 

 

Officials confirm that all the rafters who were reported missing on the Lehigh River have been located.

Rescue crews were sent to the Lehigh River just before 6 p.m. Monday after reports that 215 rafters needed to be rescued. The rafters launched from Jim Thorpe.

Crews said the rafters were girls between the ages of 12-16 on a rafting trip with Whitewater Rafting Adventures.

Officials said 46 of those girls were pulled from the river near Lehighton. One was taken to the hospital. She was treated and released. The others were found farther down the river.

Officials said some of those rafters were found hanging onto trees along the river.

Crews set up a staging area near the Thomas J. McCall Memorial Bridge between Lehighton and Weissport, according to Carbon County dispatchers.

Good currents.

CDD tells where the real heat has been concentrated.  Urban corridors of EMA and CT river valley.

Glad we don't live there.  Looks like we'll have some warmth here after several consecutive days with highs in the 60's.

Meanwhile, awoke several times during the night to the sound of rain.  Looks like we'll get a couple days break from that once we get through the next 24 hours.

Lastly, noticed the first blush of leaf change while out walking yesterday.  A lot of greens suddenly muted.

Pouring here for hours.  2.6" since noon but more than half of that has been since 6pm.  Fuk this, I am done with rain. 

Nice, seems like we might have had more since your 2.6" reading, too.  I'm following your posts for mby as my station's been off-line for a few months.  Needs some major rehab/replacement.

Pete has been getting drenched just about everyday for a month. His area over to the NY border has been crazy

With the frequent mixing of snow he still managed to pick up 3".

I'm not sure how much more we might have picked up overnight.  I was awakened by thunder/lightning but the fan was masking the sound of rain.  Suffice it to say avery wet period.  Looks like a break for the next 36 hours out this way.

I-91  from Rt 2E to the Pike is getting a shellacking.

Weathet station tipper ftl. Just got home and my Stratus has 1.5" for the day!  

I think that may be right, Chris.  My pool's covered the skimmer--that's close to 2" from what where it had been.
