Typhoon Tip

No no.. not the new norm. I just need to stop weather forecasting and then 'normal' shit will resume.

Clearing from the east over eastern regions doesn’t send a particularly warm vibe for the day.

I dunno ... it's 73/60 here with mostly sunny skies at the moment. Little if any noticeable wind. Yet there's this steady diet of grousing being served by y'allz when I came back in. I think there's a tendency here to hide in the virtual realm provided by the internet, ...get obsessed, then get angry that it's not creating a the virtual impression you want. rather than just experiencing reality? Take face off portable access device and/or PC and go outside and enjoy.

Fake heat

Exactly ... and I'm hoping ( in no small part because the dink just bunned me ...) that "western new england" means Tolland for unrelenting light rain in high DPs, while everyone else N/E of there gets the faux Bahama Blues dem two days... Priceless -

Yeah, I was just noticing the GFS does two aspects that leap out that make the weekend not a complete loss. 1 ... the 570 hydrostat flexes toward 18z each day. That only happens if sun got through... 2 ... QPF blossoming between 18z and evening indicates ( going along with that ) convection. I always give a shit day a pass if there's CG and crispy towers to geek over...

Enjoying your Newfoundland summer ? Actually for some of you, based on the tone and content of griping perhaps "No Fun Land" would be more like it. Mixed emotions for me ... I find heat waves fascinating. The operational science in anticipation and tracking, and figuring out if it's 'seasonal heat' versus 'synergistic heat bomb'...etc.. And I guess to be fair, the experience should happen... But at the same time, 74 F is just too perfect to pass up. Choice between the two, I would want to spend an afternoon in 74 before 94. So my feelings are mixed on "missing out" on heat. Not the same in winter, though. It needs to be cold and snow bombs because there's not like a choice that's redeeming, like described above with summers. If it's not active with winter storms in the winter, it's usually 44 vomit brown everywhere.

Dread summer 2000 has a foot in the door ?

agreed... Better for outdoor activities if a Bahama Blue pattern could fully commit. Unfortunately, we've moved the story for the end of the week from a heat wave, to a possible arriving Bahama Blue, now gunk... Assuming we're talking about the end of the week/weekend ...? It may improve late Saturday through ..

Civility needs to be incentivized into using more renewable energy sources, and smoke comes along just in time to reduce a solar's efficacy ... perfect

84/60 That’s entering the transition range - no higher DP T combination is required for the vast majority of the population. You start losing willing participants pretty fast much above that.

At rate things are going... yes

Correct for the typical 20 ..30% Euro amplitude hard on it always has in the late mid+ range and that's our Bahama Blue

Know what would be cool ... heh take that 5,000 foot thick BL atmosphere, transport it to the middle of the Antarctic winter ice cap and release it all at once... coke and popcorn the ensuing shenanigans ...

Starting to remind me a little of that dread summer 2000. Man that year was like stuck on the date of shits May 5th type weather, straight to October 1st. I lived in Waltham at the time, utterly preoccupied with other life bs like finding a decent job and sweatin' this old g-f I couldn't get off my mind. Plus just social life was going in different directions in general. Heh. It was a like I took a sabbatical from Met nerding for a couple years back then. But, even in that state I'm more than merely tacitly aware of what's going on when it comes to weather shit. That summer was shitty most of the time. May not be an exact match or even an analog et al, but the results reminds me of this year so far, ...gets/got cool/wet at least excuse imagined, and then whenever a warm outlook happened, it always shirked by 10 F or just outright failed. As far as this thing on Friday, it is a rarefied ordeal. It happens some times, but this is a cool anomaly nested inside a warmer/much larger synoptic manifold.

Gotta give credit to the GGEM if this works out... Remember? the Euro and GFS spent several runs, like 2 or 3 days ago, where they packed the cut-off ( which is really a shallow feature by the way and should really not be forcing as much mechanical response in the low levels as it is, but what the f ever I guess...) SW far enough to set up a heat wave. The GGEM never bought it. It's been trying to skunge this pattern all along -

I think they may spray down here. Not sure if they do this up there but a hiss and slow moving truck will come down the street here during the warm season. Not often but perhaps its enough to keep the populations in check. I was googin' earlier that the wild fires may be burning Rosemary and Sage ( ha) and driving them away.

It's a nice day when that sets up... It's dicey though. A little too far W and your training. Little too far E and it's SE inflow which doesn't do anyone much good. But you get inside that conduit and it's sun with like 80/68 and cool looking narrow CB towers around.

What I find interesting is that they should all be showing those temp ranges, given the indexes, but this circumstance ...albeit ultimately not injurious and unnoticeable, is highly unusual ha, lot of "u" in that sentence. But it's true. 580 to 588 heights doesn't lend credence to the lower troposphere being depicted. But... we're inside of D4.5 so it's perhaps just one of those rare 1:10 scenarios.

Well in Kev's defense ( oh god ...), he did say ICON...

Define the purpose of monitoring "just the arctic" when the "spirit" of doing so is for on-going climate monitoring. This is a Global problem - it should all be contained.

Maybe we'll get some improvement later on today but these temperature stumping pancake skies aren't the most pleasant out of doors. This thing over the weekend is road kill ...smearing its guts out E of NF yet still... all but entirely in the grave it's reaching a tentacle back to fuck the coastal folk -

Yeah all that .. but that thing out there would make a September 3rd grader jealous. Man it's like completely incongruent. It doesn't look like a June anomaly where it's kind of stuggling ? ya know - this thing demonstratively looks like an apex seasonal bomb is about to happen.

I'm almost wondering if the unusually early and pervasive N/A fires might be causing unusual behavior in the insect fauna in general. not just squitoes... I mean us disc golfers aren't being harassed by those Green Heads on blood recon, either. You gather a couple of them f'n bastards and you own 'em the whole day. They tirelessly fly mobius loops around your head - they're so much fun when you actually swat one with a disc. They're usually pretty bad by late May and we haven't seen any of those, either. Anyway ... like some plant species are natural insect repellents - is it possible burning bush materials might have deterred ?

No mosquitoes here. Which seems rather odd considering the heat's been null and we've had some decent rains this spring. Usually by Mem DW it's an atonal chorus of shrieking whir out there but I haven't seen a single mosquito.
