Nice that is impressive.

We won't make it up here... low of 48F and a high of at least 83F so far (today may tie the warmest day for July if it hit 84F between obs), so only a 35 diurnal range it looks like right now.

Wow--stayed cooler down here.  We got to 81*, down to 79* now.  It looks like several spots here wound up like here, while lots of mid 80's down in the Valley.

The sky is pretty awesome right now.  There are towering CBs going up everywhere.

Crazy how fast these things can form as they pass over the high terrain of the Spine.  Went from bright sunshine to cracking thunder and some impressively quick vertical development of the clouds in a matter of minutes.

Orographic trigger though looks like this will miss by about a mile or two to the south.  Impressive thunder and lightning though.

Nice to have a dry 10-14 days straight after the soakings all summer. Dry the ground out and clean cars without dirtying them up driving in the rain . Just clean the bumpers and windshields daily of the bug mashings.

Chance of rain Wed to Fri?

Today seemed like a more classic summer day than anything over the past 7-10 days up here.

Temps were bouncing around from 80-83F from noon onward with dews tickling up into the low 60s.  You can certainly feel the difference with the tick up in dews today as Td's of 47-52F recently have felt more fall-like even in full sunshine....but today in full sunshine at like 82/62 it felt like summer with a bit more of a haze in the vistas from the mountain.

On top of that, there were pop-up thunderstorms that seemed like just air mass thunderstorms with no real synoptic forcing.  Stuff that developed over the higher terrain and off the lake breeze boundaries and is slow moving with lots of thunder.  Looks like a couple tenths of an inch ended up falling here but just south of here in Waterbury Center it looked like there were spot 1-1.5" amounts.

Afternoon/early evening thunder and brief downpour leads to a very humid evening as that rain just seems to jack up the low level moisture...go outside and dews now into the mid-60s feels very much like a summer night as opposed to the dry air sharp cool down of the past couple evenings.

Pretty decent 9 days I had up in Maine.  Warmest days in the 80s were  on my arrival and departure days.  Most of the week had  highs in the mid 70s with lows in the mid 50s. Crappiest day was last Monday but managed to hit 69 before rain dropped temps into the upper 50s in the late afternoon.  

where were you visiting?

We hiked the 3 brothers and Big Slide with the kids yesterday.

We were on the peak at 1400 and watched 2 of those boomers form north of us near Whiteface and start rolling east.

Beautiful to watch from a few miles away and  happy to not be under them on those exposed peaks.

yesterday's convection/patterning of cloud cover vs clear sky was interesting...    Down here in N Mass there were great, open expanses where there was no cloud material at all, zippo... pure blue.  then, a single isolated tall tower that glaciated ...side-lit as the sun was going down.  Usually you have a CU field with one or two over-achievers, but it was like one CB and no surrounding anything for 50 miles in any direction ..then another.  weird.  my hunch is that there was a dearth of DP in the boundary layer to offer parcels any SBCAPE, that then taking place under a temperature curve that offered a decent interval of steeper lapse rates farther above. ...go curve just no fuel...

ORH finished July with 9 straight negative departures and an overall -1.0F

Also, -1.94" of rain.   I was surprised at this.  They must have missed some of the downpours we had early in the month

Where does one find this information?  I'm interested in the July numbers for PWM.

 

I know we finished with 1.05" of rain but curious on the temps.  I suspect we were at or ever so slightly BN
