All the way from Tolland to Monson looks like this. This was KTOL. Acres and hundreds of miles of Oaks totally bare. Will be a lot of tree death http:// Glad we don't live there. Congrats on the new job. Now you can move to NW CT and enjoy some winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With green pine and maple mixed in. It looks like fall. I'd love to see an aerial from a drone http://http:// Yep said the same thing, when you get on a hill on 395 you can see the damage, ugly.

Intuitively it makes sense, strong winds can loft all sizes of objects, but I had not seen an example of low CC on the leading edge of strong straight line winds. Not quite like a TDS, but similar. You can see one boundary through Wyandotte County and another through Jackson and Lafayette. I'm out in Kansas City. Last night was epic. Our hotel has an awesome viewing spot on the 12th floor. Do you think tonight will be just as good or better? Heat index is supposed to be 105-113 today which should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Fun in the sun atop Mammoth Mtn California....... Let's see. Watched the cam for a couple of minutes. Some people without shirts. Hum...it's just past noon out there. Barely a cloud in the sky, 11,000 foot elevation, June 17th and a bright snowcover. Can you say sunburn!

weathafella Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I was at a wedding in PHX in July about 30 years ago. It didn't drop under 100 until midnight. I decided to go out for a run the next morning. Folks came out of their houses to gawk at me running as the temps soared past 110...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 82/62 this afternoon...full sun. This would be about perfect summer weather. Hot enough to want to swim (already did that today) but nice enough to hike and do outdoor recreation without passing out from heat ha. I'd prefer a few of 52F instead of 62F but we'll survive lol. Feels exactly as it should for near the solastice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 6 hours ago, wxeyeNH said: When I lived in Metro Boston in the early 1980's there was a severe gypsy moth infestation. The trees around Rt 128 looked like this. I hiked the Blue Hills and the reservation looked almost bare in mid June. It was crazy. On the news every day. Everyone thought there would be massive oak damage. People were putting "tar" rings around the base of trees to save them. The good news was that by mid summer the trees all sprouted a second growth. Not quite as thick as the spring growth but the vast, vast majority of trees made it. Watch what happens over the next few weeks. I think repeated seasons of gypsy moths is what really hurts! The bolded is right on - healthy trees can re-leaf after defoliation 2-3 years before they run out of reserves and begin to die. Weak trees are in trouble with one defoliation. That early 80s outbreak was crazy in that area. We lived in N. Maine then but would take trips that included my parents' place in central NH and my brother's in Milford, MA - he was then stationed at the cold wx lab in Natick. One June - I think 1982 - our route featured bare trees from north of MHT all the way to Milford, and who knows how far beyond. Even the pine and hemlock were stripped, a one-and-done death sentence for the latter. That was the worst year but several others were nearly as bad, and a lot of trees did not survive.

powderfreak Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 This morning from the upper mountain looking south down the Spine. The Champlain Valley side on the right stayed well mixed with the southerly flow while east of the Spine where the colder air wedges in had some low clouds. Very distinct dividing line from one side of the Spine to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Just lookin. 5pm Carlsbad NM 107F. Dewpoint 4F. That gives a realitive humidity of 2%. I don't really pay attention to RH. Wondered what the lowest value ever recorded was... Found it. 1% The world's lowest recorded relative humidity value occurred at Coober Pedy in the South Australia desert when the temperature was 93 degrees and the dew point was minus 21 degrees producing a relative humidity of 1 percent.Dec 16, 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
