Storm straddling the MA/CT border S of Tolland, MA looking pretty nasty on ENX.

yeah, just clicking on some of the 3km nammy soundings it seems most impressive in a relatively narrow corridor from like Kevin to Ginxy

we're pretty far away, but can confirm a mesocyclone look to it down there. unrelated but the wind sig that was along and north of the pike has weakened quite a lot

The cell headed down the pike through the Berks now is a lot more impressive than anything in that first wave

garden variety storms but we dropped the temps a few degrees which is nice

seeing some low end *possibly* severe winds descending the east slope just n of rt 9. The lack of u/l dynamics are evident in the relative unorganized nature of the cells. But there is certainly a threat of branches down here and there.

To be fair today may well tie the monthly low high temp at Boston and 3rd place at ORH, so it's not like this happens often. Summer in New England is basically gold. 4/1-5/15 or 10/15-12/1 are the trying times IMO

I've been chased off the beach down south several times by incoming tropical waves. Certainly no lock of good wx down there, particularly 2nd half of summer. Folks might consider San Diego in Aug/Sept if weather is a primary concern.

Awesome pics This was the UMass radar a minute or two beforehand.

MQE ASOS going down for 9 mos, but manual climo data will continue

record low high temp at ORH is 61 for 7/3

Last night we had winning teams score 20, 15, 15, 13, 11, 11, and 9.... That may be more runs than all of April

Great night for Hefeweizen... tip of the cap to Rising Tide out of PWM

The HRRR today...

there are a fair number of damage reports coming through Erving and Orange where the TOR warned cell passed. Little supercell out ahead of the main line it would appear. We did not observe strong low level rotation, but we did observe rotation aloft.

Bloody gorgeous stiff north breeze of the water too

Little/no rain in BTown. A few lightning bolts but didn't hear thunder. Good winds. Some roiling clouds.

TOR on that cell now east of ORE

000 SXUS71 KBOX 301916 RERBOS RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOSTON/NORTON MA 0320 PM EDT WED JUN 30 2021 ...RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE SET AT BOSTON MA... A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 100 FOR BOSTON MA TODAY JUN 30TH. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 95 SET IN 1945. $$ shattered... even with the offset

record high at BOS *

Is that Wyola?

CEF touched 96 between hours. Nice day, quite manageable.

Awful indeed.

I think you could just replace natural immunity with immunity in this post. There's not been evidence suggesting natural immunity covers a narrower spectrum than vax immunity, and we don't have updated vaxxes yet, so it's still not clear why you'd treat those two groups differently right now, if it were based on the science alone. Also I'd have to defer to Whitinsville, etc., but I presume the 10mo study I posted above is going to encompass at least a few strains so it's not totally narrow. Even Delta is not reinfecting people in large numbers, or at any rate if it is, the outcomes are less severe as they are with the vax.

It's possible that the virus had a few notably divergent mutations down there (as discussed) that may weaken both natural and vaccine immunity. That would require a booster vax and those previously naturally immune would probably want to get it at that point. So far though I think evidence that a booster shot is necessary worldwide (Manaus strain if it exists hasn't been reported to have circulated widely) or that natural immunity is worse than the first round of vaccines for the early strains plus the delta strains are slim to non-existant.
