Oh' wow, that all missed Greenfield to the South. As I said earlier, it looked impressive to our west, on radar and then tamed quite a bit after moving through the hill towns. We had 2 or 3 quick gusts of wind but that was it.
I am not seeing any prolonged outbreaks of big heat for NE in the long range. Just a lot of seasonally mild temps and average to below average precipitation.
This storm looked a lot better on the radar but outside of some good rumbles and flashes there has been no wind or hail and only a few minutes of heavy rain.
Greenfield can get pretty hot, my neighborhood is a little bit of an elevated River Valley so sometimes misses the big heat but 2 miles up the road at 600’ -800’ is much cooler.
The clouds today were key to keeping the heat down, I even got some yardwork in this morning.
I’m guessing that must’ve been their projected high? I just drove through downtown in the car thermo read 86 - 87 Maybe they were using the infamous bank thermometer that is always wrong.
Even more of a bust here, we peaked at 84° and that was only for about an hour. Swampy but tolerable. 82/69 in my yard.
The fact that the skies did not clear here until noon helped keep the temperatures in check.
