The storm that popped over WXW1 in central CT went from nothing to a 54k top in under 20 minutes. That’s nuts.

Damage in the area from that line of storms. Another awesome night.

Having someone die on your property is definitely something insurance companies want to see.

Best light show in years and I had to go to Saranac Lake for it.

Thanks. If ORH can hit upper 90s, we're looking at real deal heat.

Post em if you got em. Watching closely here. Hoping for a light show.

Can I have both?

I think that’s Earthlight?

Home got stopped at 89.3°. Raining up here at WXW2

Damage reports came in just north of town.

Destructive tag for the storm throttling Watertown right now.

lol what the hell is the criteria down there??? A heat advisory seems…insufficient.

Big CAPE bullseye right over me noggin up here.

HRRR is active tomorrow

Some lean times ahead in the Atlantic.

Speaking my language when we’re talking tropical

A lot of crap does get thrown out there without context, and that definitely makes it hard to appropriately communicate when the true historic events happen. I think that for the most part it makes sense to use the written historical record, which obviously varies by location and quality control but is easiest to understand. I’ve personally communicated this coming heat wave in CT as “high end” or upper echelon if everything breaks toward overperforming, but critically, contextualizing what that means by showing the actual historical record for heat here. But I also lean in a lot more on heat index when talking about human impact.

I probably need that up here in SLK. This winter obliterated my battery. That said, I like walking out in -20°…

Winter blows a hole in my wallet. With solar I’m basically paying cents on the dollar in the summer for cooling.

The p&c numbers are lol. 103 and 102 at WXW1 on Thursday and Friday. I’ll go 100 and 99.

I talked to my neighbor this evening and he literally had no idea heat was coming.
