Looks like average temps over the weekend. Then +5/+10 stuff into next week. Average high temps are 75 to 80 for most of Southern New England last week of June…

Woo hoo coastal sea breeze front movin through...

Never would have guessed that… even here on this forum.

WTF does ACATT mean?? TYIA!

JFC how often does Block Island hit 91? That's insane...

I would take the over +5 on that temp line for Friday and Saturday highs.

This post did not age well.

May have hit 100 here in Bristol. The Davis station in town was 97.8 but it’s closer to the water than the other 5 stations that all went over 100 today. Crazy, it rarely gets this warm here due to the breeze, which doesn’t exist today…

Hot through Weds. Normal or slightly AN end of week into weekend.

Sunny 77/63 from Colt State Park in Bristol. Enjoy it!

Yes, I saw that. Mold-city! I ended up getting 3 of these at BJ's: https://www.bjs.com/product/midea-smart-8000-btu-window-air-conditioner/3000000000004840251/ They were on sale for $189 until this past Sunday. Not the ideal solution, but they are working better than the 2 Honeywell portables and 1 Zenith/LG window unit I had that is from 2002 that seemed to be on their last legs this summer. Will see how they all hold up next week. The inverter window units looked a little to complicated for me to install at this time - I'm not that handy. Hopefully what I have will work until I'm ready to get mini-splits or something similar.

Terrible here at Colt State Park. Lots of parties ruined. Breezy, light drizzle/rain, 59 degrees. Although there may differing opinions on how much summertime ball sweat some of us enjoy, anything is better than this shit on a Saturday in June.

Was looking at the ensembles. Perhaps the output for the longer term is not the best way gauge the actual weather in terms of temps and dews. It also seems like the areas where we want the heat and humidity to be above normal when the flow we need to kick in doesn’t seem so. The southeast doesn’t seem to be having particularly above normal HHH weather which is usually present when we start to get it as well. I will fully admit I’m paying more attention this summer than usual, so my understanding of correlation of models to patterns may be lacking. I’m also not predicting a cold snap, after Thursday and Friday I just wasn’t seeing a lot more than 85/65 until late in the period.

I don't think it will be as HHH as you would like it to be. It should be moderately above normal temps, but dewpoints are not going above mid 60's at most times in the extended term. Not seeing any sustained heat wave type stuff yet. Does look dry in terms of rainfall.

Thursday and Friday look like "Toland and Tiger Torched Tropical Taint" days if you enjoy that stuff. Highs mid to upper 80's and dewpoints may hit 70. Then back to more average temps and dewpoints for the weekend.

The HREF looked pretty dry as well for several runs in a row. .10 to .20 for New England.

Looks wet later this afternoon in SNE. Could have been worse - interesting how that low off the coast wants no business really interacting with the disturbance moving through from the west. Just keeps moving northeast…

Doesn’t look HHH in the long term after the weekend. Maybe a few days with mid 60’s dew points. Looks like +2-5 temps with dewpoints in upper 50’s and low 60’s for an extended period. It actually looks… nice…? What models are showing signs of HHH?

I wouldn't say it's totally backing off but there's a nice area of relatively dry weather that's showing up on the globals and the ensembles, but it's been fluctuating in size and location last few days. Let's see if it sticks.

And it was a hiccup because while I was googling it came back up! Was down for several minutes...

Did the Storm Prediction Center get shut down? Or just an outage? Wanted to look at the HREF and got this...

Rolled in to the driveway at 7 and it was 68. Gotta love the PM sea breeze factor. Still haven’t installed yet.

Jeez, Friday night through Saturday night look wet. Make your outdoor plans for Sunday this weekend. Euro just hangs the front there for 24 hours before moving out...

Mid 80's and low 90's have never been uncommon in New England during the summer months over the last 150 years. The biggest increases have been in dewpoints and low temps over the last several decades. If you moved here expecting 60's and 70's during the summer... well... we aren't Canada...
