gravitylover Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Nope, two at most. It doesn't seem like it has been all that hot, unpleasant enough to keep me from doing some stuff yes but not as brutal as it could have been. I think if the pseudo drought had continued and things really dried out it would be a different story and we'd be seeing crazy high temps. I think I'd almost rather it be dry though as the humidity is a killer when you want to do outside things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was pretty unpleasant. I can deal with the heat, its the humidity that does it. picked up a paltry sixteenth of an inch last night. Hoping for better today.

Juliancolton Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Yeah, this wx has me solidly sequestered indoors. I've been doing as many chores and errands as possible in the middle of the night, otherwise they just don't get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Yup from ac in the house to ac in the car to ac in the supermarket and back. We spent nearly an hour sitting outside in the shade with my father in law at the assisted living facility he's at and it was pretty unpleasant. He was totally comfortable, didn't even feel the need to wear a jacket! I'm not 94 so I don't understand... My daughter, bless her little 21 year old heart, just went for a road ride a little while ago, I'm sitting next to the garden drinking cold beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 The worst of the storms passed just to my north last night, but I still picked up 1.30" of rain. Very happy with that for the sake of gardens and pool level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I got the big .01 for the last 30 or so hours. It's kinda nice right now, cloudy, breezy and in the low 70's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 97F at POU ties the record high for the day. Real heat, but I won't remember it a month from now and I doubt I'm alone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 92 for the high here, not memorable in the least allow it’s the first 90 plus in a while here, I guess that’s exciting. I’ve had one low that remained above 70 and that low was 70. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, last night was absolutely abominable. Thanks be that we only get one or two evenings like that every year. It didn't drop below 80 until after 1 am, and then only got to 73. Consoling myself by delving into Christmas display plans. Lights enthusiasts the country over are unanimously agreed that we have a morale imperative to go absolutely wild with our displays this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Man, these crazy storms where I get a few hundredths of an inch are awesome Maybe we'll get a hurricane and actually soak the forest for a change rather than just dampen the surface.

I should sit down and add it up but I doubt I'm over 3". It's so dry, SO DRY, in the woods near me right now, it's hardpan and dusty and the leaf carpet is crackly.

It's so dry, SO DRY, in the woods near me right now, it's hardpan and dusty and the leaf carpet is crackly. Fire danger is coming up quickly now. Super dry here too. Hopefully we will get some of the tropical action to give things a drink. We have a chance before Isaias on Sunday but might be on the severe side. A section of Upton AFD, LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Although the focus of the long term remains Isaias, there is the potential for a round of significant severe weather on Sunday. A warm front is progged to be lifting thru the area on Sun. The 12Z NAM builds SBCAPE to over 3000 J/kg. Sufficient shear puts the BRN firmly in the supercell range. In addition, A high EHI embedded in this regime will add a tor threat. It is still too far out to have high confidence in the details and timing, but the data suggests the ingredients are potentially there for a svr wx outbreak. Future forecasts and SPC outlooks will refine this threat over the weekend. Pops were limited to 50 percent based on the uncertainty, although the NBM suggests categorical across the interior.

Hitman Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Back from riding blue mtn. Firm but not dry. of course I kicked off august by overheating for the first Time this season. Dews were forecast to be in the 60’s but it’s 82/72 here. I didn’t overdo it but I’m definitely feeling it. Still sweating after showering. After lunch I’m doing my once a summer trip up on the roof to clean some windows and make sure the gutters are clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
