The dews are back… 71/69 here. Noticeable while doing some work outside.

I’ve got a lot of very tiny red insects or maybe larvae the size of a pinhead stuck to the leaves of my maple trees. Any thoughts of what they are? Can post a photo later if needed. Looked via google and there were many different answers, and not sure what geographic areas the answers were coming from…

This has been in the works for a while… it would have happened sooner if the FV3 based models had better verification data.

Also known as average.

July 3/4 look great! Low to mid 80’s, tolerable dewpoints. Bring it!

RRFS is also on Pivotal but not on Tropical Tidbits yet…

Is HREF in production? I thought the SREF is what is considered official, while the HREF is considered experimental/testing... NEVERMIND - @OceanStWx answered the questions :-)

NBM temps and dew points next 9.5 days…

Sunday and Tuesday look humid. The remainder of the week is low to mid 60’s for dew points.

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.
