HIPPYVALLEY

2-4" in the Valley seems likely. More in the hilltowns obviously.

you're just trying to keep me from being sad.

Do you have any maps of January 23, 2005? Still in my top 3 behind 2/78 and 4/97. Over 30" in Cambridge/Somerville death banding. Entire cars covered up and down snow choked streets. Glad I was still in Boston for that one because iirc W MA did not do nearly as well. I just remember people walking around monday morning shaking their heads at how they would dig their vehicles out that had been buried by plows and drifting. Sidewalks in the city were a complete disaster and some side streets were not plowed for hours after the last flakes.

Also not good news for Turks and Caicos.

Speaking of which what are the current rainfall projections for Dominican Republic?

Obviously Puerto Rico and Turks & Caicos are in trouble but the sharp turn N pretty much saves Hispaniola and the Bahamas so there is that bright side. Edit: of course a wobble W due to interaction w/ PR which seems unlikely based on model clusters could still create major problems for DR.

I know PR is in the cross hairs but it seems that Turks and Caicos possibly avoid a direct hit? Although it skirts Hispaniola could be some pretty bad flooding/mudslide issues there. That island won't even be a news bi-line w/ all the focus on Puerto Rico.

I dunno', I've been going into Cambridge 1-2 month for work for the past 4 years and it seems to be getting worse with each passing year. I think it is due to a number of factors including more students with cars, more people working untraditional 9-5 hours and my personal theory being people on their phones and over devices. If everybody making a call, text or searching for something slows themselves down by 2-3 seconds because of their actions, think of the cumulative effect of thousands of people doing it.

Personally I'll take a warm September and save cool and crisp for October.

He must be kidding, there is no way you can call a foliage season on July 31st. I agree with you though, it has been a great summer in terms of comfort. I have only had five or six air conditioning days at home. ( more than that in the car of course)

Maybe a slight cool down next week?

Next week has definitely ticked up a bit temp wise. Not sure about humidity but could be a few A/C days for sure.

You don't think 5 days is enough time to dry out?

Please, no!

Maybe just go with diapers and a tank top?

Tomorrow and Thursday are not quite the cool down they looked like. Sure, dp's will be lower but my NWS p/c forecast for both days is 3- 4° higher than it was yesterday.

I agree, I think Sunday will be pretty uncomfortable in the Ct Valley from Hartford to Brattleboro.

GFS looks like a cooler pattern in the long range - out beyond day 8 or 9.

Rain threats tomorrow look pretty isolated. Bring the heat, I'm ready, it's summer! I'll install Sunday morning if it looks oppressive beyond Monday.

As usual it looks like West will be best for any possible T storms.

Most hIgh function mammals would prefer to do as little extra work as possible for comfort and survival.

Not like we haven't seen it before. WNE looks to bake regardless. Looks like I install on Sunday.

Kevin disagrees.

GFS looks pretty furnacey next 2 weeks. looks like high heat early next week then a mile down and reload for the following weekend

It's the new regime, our blocking season is now mid-April to mid-June.
