Typically SD water is notably warmer than in LA. 61 seems unusually cool... will be no worse than Coast Guard beach tomorrow. Edit- Coronado was 69 today, Torrey Pines 70

In this neck of the woods it's been absolutely the least impactful season in terms of wind I can recall in 20 years. We were due for a dud. Congrats to S CT, Cape Cod, and SEMA though. You love to see it. I'll take the under, but certainly impressive regardless
-
word to the wise... after it rains in SD you want to not swim in the ocean for a couple days. Bacteria and pollutants really spike, but after about 48-72 hours or so it's back to normal. Because of the heavy rains inland , including possible thunderstorms even after the TS passes, there could be a lag. You might consider waiting til end of the week to hop in. I'm heading out myself on Friday, but think we should mostly be good by then. Maybe check out Balboa park and walk around Little Italy on Thursday instead of hitting the beach?

We've been hugging it for years Severe, winter, tropical... you name it we hug it.

perfect camping weather, and we camping
-
Ours are too. It's a good sign for more hickory saplings at any rate.

Strolling around in a business suit this evening, NW breeze, late summer sun. Still green, for now.

Awesome stuff. Seems like it's within the margin of error or close.

All the coops in the Pioneer valley are between -3.5 and -4.5. Ashburnham coop is also -3.5.

Great post. Depending on the azimuthal sampling volume, a function of the distance from the radar, you might well be averaging in potentially high ZDR oblate raindrops along with the debris. So you would expect a ZDR drop relative to the surrounding regions of the thunderstorm, especially the FFD but maybe also within the RFD, but maybe not getting near zero. Even legit hail cores in the northeast I think are pretty often contaminated by rain and ZDR stays higher compared with hail storms you might see on the high plains or something. Probably if you had a high LCL tornado classically formed on the tail end of an RFD and away from the rain shield you would indeed see ZDRs of 0 however so the theory is correct.

Sweet structure on that thing. Amazing how they retain it right til their dying breath. Reminds me of 2012.

Helluva way to run an Augdewst
-
Just did a sampling the PWS sites around BDL and they're all in that 51-52 degree range, so I guess there really was some local difference between there and further north and not a sensing thing.
-
Thanks. I dunno what I would have expected, but I note 47 at KLEB, 47 at KORE, 47 at KCEF, and then 52 at KBDL. CEF and BDL are 18 miles apart. Could be that random N @5kt wind I suppose. Or a sensor difference.
-
Are you aware of any known biases of ASOS temperature gauges relative to AWOS gauges in radiating conditions? It seems odd to me that BDL would be 5 degrees warmer than CEF when the temperatures were otherwise so uniform (based on the AWOS/PWS data) around interior New England, and BDL really should not be a UHI.
-
47 here too. I think CEF set a record low with 48, albeit not a climo site. BDL somehow didn't get below 53.

Soapy water in the shop vac works also
-
empty their carcasses into the garbage I guess
-
Run an extension cord and use a shop vac on the ground bees . Thump on the ground to get em to all come out. No need to pour a bunch of chemicals on the lawn.... oh wait

Friday and Saturday had great rideable surf at the cape with afternoon low tides. Low/mid 60s water temps. Both Coast Guard Beach and Marconi have sandbars well offshore. Have to swim across a 40-50 yard gut entirely over your head with waves reforming a bit to get out to it, but then knee deep and perfect once you get there. Tons of people including many small kids were game for it, but I was thinking it'd be interesting if there were a shark sighting.

Nice to the see the EPS last night keep that -EPO ridge and weak -NAO to help suppress heights a little longer into August
-
Most of the National Seashore beaches had red flags up yesterday, with good sized but low period blown out storm surf on light easterly flow. Race point however was yellow flag and we were getting strong 5 footers breaking and washing up the beach nicely. Not true body surfing, but not a crashing beach break either. They were sending folks flying along the sand with a little exfoliation to boot. Anyway it was low 70s and clear, water mid to upper 60s that far north. Felt great.

Interesting that machine learning convective probs are highest across the Mid Atlantic into NJ. Thus lots of moving parts here yielding a below average convective forecast Anyone have a link for this model?

Saw what I think was a line of Space X satellites overhead on cape cod about a half hour. Just wild.

radarman replied to weatherwiz's topic in New England
Best heavy downpour we've had in at least 2 days
