The same red sky and sun with billboard silhouette that inspired the beginning of "Tonight" in the original West Side Story. Must have been HHH the day of the rumble.

Meanwhile, early cherry blossoms in DC.

Fisher well on his way to fulfilling his 55-60” season .

You could actually shrink the blue blob down to the size of the Beltway (2 pixels wide) and it would have the same policy effect.

Any slurpee ocean waves on Nantucket Sound yet? .

Complete with slurpee waves in FMH. .

He's already planning his trip up to the AK North Slope to see the dawn redwoods and ginkgoes growing.

That's just the way it is.

Is that the AI (first time seen on Tropical Tidbits) doing the smoothing on GFS?

12/9/2005 was weird too ... from barely accumulating slop in Cambridge to sudden wild blizzard conditions (8 inches in 3hrs in BOS), thundersnow and hurricane force winds in SE MA, and then the sun out by the end of the day. Was that also a tropopause fold?

Makes me wonder if CC is beginning to give us distinct wet and dry seasons, like most of the world. I think we're somewhat unusual in that historically we don't really have a whole lot of difference between our wettest and driest months (30% or so variation). We'd be joining the ranks of the West Coast...all locations within the annual ITCZ oscillation (tropics)...Mediterranean basin...South Asia...the list goes on. Maybe then we'd adopt more awareness and proactivity about water management and conservation, like West Coast folks who have had to factor water use into their planning for so many things in life.

It's not just ridge...it's Ridgey Ridge ridge.

Sea fog flirting with us here in Swampscott, MA. Nice and comfy at 73 F here. .

I remember a 4th of July overnight period sometime in the 90s where Central Park station was 91 F at 1:30 AM. There was a power warning in effect. Guess they issue those when the grid is in danger of collapsing. .

8/2/75 is my #1…IIRC a couple of places in MA hit 107 .
