There’s still a strong signal west of us on the ensembles. There are probably some members with some of that cooler stuff mixing in from eastern Canada…

Whether it’s a blizzard or a heat wave, the hour 384 GFS always delivers!

He meant over-the-top AN temps from 7/24 - 7/30. Ensembles not as bullish.

Wait, did I send you a photo by accident? My bad...

Looks like round 2 is forming to my sw...

Most t-storm activity in a while... maybe a decade or two. The storms on 7/3 was strongest stuff since I was a kid...

Getting smoked here. Decided to fire up RadarScope on the TV lol…

Looks like another band of storms incoming!

77/74 after a heavy line of storms moved through. not as bad as 7/5 but lots of lightning and street flooding in the area…

You do realize that NOAA/NWS has always had geographic differences for criteria of advisories, watches and warnings of all different types? There are differing criteria for cold temperatures, frost/freeze, snow, etc as well. Here you are 100% correct in stating facts about temps in those other locations yet 100% wrong in your assessment as to why they did not receive advisories and we did... EDIT: Looks like several others have also brought up this point.

Wow this place is a f-ing mess, lol... Currently 74/68 after a high of 81/73. Another beautiful summer day. WTF are people arguing about? Yeah it was a bit more dewy than my preference for several hours, but still a nice warm, sunny summer day - I know it was hotter north and west of here. Euro weeklies look AN temps and dews through mid-August. It is what it is.

Worst t-storm in years here in Bristol. Ruined my BBQ, messed up the fireworks. Power outages all over the area, lots of trees down. No hail. Thankful I did not put up my tents and just moved the party inside, and didn’t lose any chairs or tables. my neighbor’s were not as lucky. I like a good storm but the timing was quite shitty this time around lol… Happy 4th!

Bazinga!

73/70 here after a high of 82. With this humidity it could have been much worse. Nice summer day, light breeze for most of the afternoon…

We can agree on getting some summer tstorms, we need the rain. If it’s going to be a HHH weekday, we should finish the day out with some downpours for the lawns and gardens.

They make medicine for that. Try CVS…

Has eastern MA ever been a place where there have been a lot of thunderstorm? Marine influence tends to modify most stuff that moves in from the West and Northwest directions. I agree things have been drier but it doesn't seem like we are getting less thunderstorms than in the past, I feel like that's always been an interior New England thing, though I'm in E RI and not in E MA...

I guess. I will agree it doesn't take much to increase dewpoints. Models do take climo into effect...

I believe there is data that points to that. Especially with overnight lows and dewpoints...

The average dewpoint for July/August for most parts of SNE is between 61-64 degrees. AN dewpoints (upper 60's/low 70's) on Tuesday, Wednesday of this week, then next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of next week. Otherwise average to below average dewpoints. Run the Euro and take a look. GFS similar. Still looks like above normal temps most of the time, with warm downs to average in between. Also looks dry like you said, except for a couple of days where t-storms are possible. This isn't a hot vs cold thing, its a discussing the forecast thing...

The Euro weeklies don't support an overall cooler look if you want to go long term. Mostly AN with some short stretches of Normal. Every 7 day anomaly is AN for the entire month... That being said also no 100+ degree heat on the horizon either... for now...

That looks terrible for July 4th. Not how you want to have cooler temps, if that's what you want. People like to be outside and have fun on July 4th, not worry about showers and tstorms most of the day...

Mostly Sunny 86/73 here. @Damage In Tolland if you are looking for your dewpoints, we have them here for the moment. Take a drive east for dinner and a free concert at RWU. https://www.fourthofjulybristolri.com/concert-series-line-up
