Glad that huge chore is over and have used on several occasions  With the dews coming later this week, any remaining few that have not installed will be sweaty and agitated putting them in

Why did you even install if you like all the ass sweat of summer..?

Going to be very difficult dealing with upper 50's to low 60's dew points...likely going to wipe out part of the population...

[dryslot]

Great Beach day with 76 at the Narragansett town Beach. Lots of people in the water.

This months argument about installs and dews is brought to you by Lennox.  When it comes time to install, Lennox can meet your cooling and heating needs.  Whatever your needs, remember Lennox.  cue a jingle.

I looked when you posted that and there was nothing on the Albany radar. There were similar things on some of the other radars around the country so it might just be a mode they are in?

Perhaps have the Tolland high school band play the jingle???...

I believe with clear air mode the radar is more likely to pick up stuff like dust or even pollen 

[CoastalWx]

Not sure I’d call it a beach day but it’s nice out.

[powderfreak]

Nice day for sure.

 

Still some drifts around and shaded snowpack.

For South County RI this time of year I would consider this good beach weather. My truck hit 80 a few times along route 1. 

I think it's the sand in this area but right now it is one of the warmest according to the wunderground stations. 

It's even like 75-77 out on Pt Judith.

Beach day besides the 50 degree water temp lol

What Wiz said. You also have it in nonfilter mode so it’s showing the very low reflectivities. Radarscope has a color pallette to filter that out. You probably already know that because I think that’s the default.

MAV is 30° at CON. That’s a little close for comfort for me.

But I really don’t want to bring the plants in. Hopefully the waterlogged lawn keeps the temp up. The high was 62° and usually a good rad night is a 25° drop from that…so 37ish. I’ll be surprised if we go under 34°. 

59.5/28 right now

[#NoPoles]

Omg, if this wind would go away, today would have been perfect. Definitely dry, cold season airmass. Temp got up to 58 but it's chilly. Low temp overnight is 30-31 degrees. I'm super excited for tomorrow through Wednesday! I assume the black flies should be hatching shortly, but no swarms yet, so yay for that!

They’re already out here

Guess that means the hatch will happen shortly.

I had my first humming bird today at my feeder. Showed up yesterday, but I only got my feeder out today

You’ll be fine . You’re not a huge radiator . Only places that will sniff 32 are like Norwood, Maple Hollow .. deep swampy sea level valleys . Most of those under advisory will hit 36 and someone will claim frost on their car roof to verify. These Mayorch frost advisories are always lol 

[HoarfrostHubb]

Closed the windows.  The low humidity is making it feel a bit chilly.

Oak dongs have begun there attack. Allergies engaged

Not wild about this. Hope the wind holds up. They will bump up when the wind decouples, but they’re still damn low.

How is leaf out there ? Also what is soil moisture at ?

[radarman]

I went and covered everything.  Pain in the ass but taking no chances with the full moon tonight.   Always listen to the old wise men...

I mean what an evening . He never acknowledges all the times KFS forecasts well 

KFS knew.

The below is my yard this afternoon, it is not Kevin's- I fear he would have a heart attack if his grass looked like this, two of the big reasons why it is in this state are pictured.
