This forum is stocked with craft beer lovers that proooobably should stay clear of any lifestyles where consumption of substances may bring about deleterious effects; as most know the Main St area of Webster was hit hard by the tornado and it affected many businesses beyond the 3 buildings the news has shown. One of those  businesses affected was Kretschmann Brewery. The brewery had their outside tented area destroyed by the tornado; but the inside portion is ok. Maybe the craft beer afisciando's here could have an impromptu GTG here to help support a local business. While it's not the biggest of places their beers are pretty good.

I'd like to see 90 by 9:       ... 'nother index finger rule,  '10 after 10:' 

82 at 9 is asking for 18 ...it can happen (probably) but all parameters have to be exquisite.   

[Damage In Tolland]

Sell 100 today. Debris junk killed that chance 96-97 should do it

What a day yesterday going to Cabbage Island for a clam bake out of Boothbay Harbor, Nice breeze and right around 80°F, Next two days are going to suck heat and temp wise, F uck the 90's.

[Baroclinic Zone]

88F as of 10AM.

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Some spots closing in on 90 esp se zones away from the immediate coast.

IMO, the double whammy from reflected sunlight has a larger effect than being near the cool water - lakes can be hot places, unless one is in rather than on.

Cracked 90F at 11am.

Yeah, There is usually much relief there at sebago except getting in the water.

Models actually suck at that.

My forecast for Sebago is 91, Winni 90. HRRR? 76 and 77.

Typically overdoes the lake influence in all seasons. There is probably a narrow window for shoulder season where the lake is modulating local temps, but at a certain point the land overwhelms the local influences. I mean yes, they are going to be slightly cooler than the surrounding land today, but not 20 degrees cooler.

HRRR........lol, Day like today won't even be noticeable if you were on the beach or on the water, Unless your back in the shade at the state park, You may get some relief with a breeze there.

If it were truly a dead calm/weak gradient type day, we would get a lake breeze (which means the lake has to be cooler than the land), but much, much weaker than the neighboring sea breeze would be.

This will be part of the Northfield ASOS soon...

Lake temps are probably running mid 70's right now, I have been down in the lakes region for 50+ yrs, Typically on any given day, You can get that lake affect but its generally from 2 pm on as to when the winds pick up out of the SSW if your at the State park, With the shape of Sebago, Any wind direction will get you a pretty good chop to white caps, Been out there where some days will rival the ocean with some good 3-5 footers.

The south end after the first few cold fronts of the year can rock. I would love a buoy system on the lakes, but alas.

When we were getting regular reports from the boats out there, we routinely got 4-5 footers in the early fall when the water is still warm (and air above is much colder).

Calm fall cool crisp morning out on the lake in some case with the warmer waters you could use a light house there...........lol

As of yesterday, water temps:

 

5 AUG 82 in N Sebago, and down the south end PWD has 79.3..

[dryslot]

A lot of my time spent down there was up the north end where Long Lake/Brandy pond are at the causeway, You get some stiff wind out of the NNW up there and i have seen some good waves crash up on to the causeway onto Rte 302 off of Long Lake.

Bath water, Although with air temps in the 90's, 79 would feel rather pleasant............

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Wonder if that 98 reading in North Haven is legit.

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Nah, looks fake and out of sync with surrounding stations.

One of the scarier fishing excursions I've experienced was an early September trip to sebago south shore. Day started dead calm on the lake. By 10 am or so, winds started out from the northwest and picked suddenly. Probably gusting to 30...waves responded shortly thereafter. Had to bring it in with breakers swamping the launch ramp but made it out with just some bumps and bruises on the bottom the whaler. No fish.

Pretty typical cold fropa around these parts. Comes through aloft overnight, doesn't mix down until the sun starts to heat things up the next morning.

99F isn't happening.
