Was at the store yesterday and they had those mosquito repellent bracelets for a buck at the checkout counter, I wore it tonight, the damn thing attracts mosquitoes.

Glad I acclimated myself to the +110F temps. LFG! Bring it!

Wife just got back from a walk and the tore up her ankles while walking . I mean I’ve never heard of anything like that

Yeah, a real mosquito summer out there. Be sure to wear plenty of layers and protect yourself from that WNV.

I've been wearing a sweatshirt and a hat to protect me, also getting bit by little black flies.

shorts though?  That's brutal. I hate that "eaten alive" feeling, so wear the same thing/attire year-round.  T-shirt when it's 90 or 100

It was a phenomenal evening. Spent most of the afternoon/evening in ORH with some friends.

We got a few bass, pickerel, yellow perch and good size American Eels but never any bullheads. Do you know if it ever produced those?

Never heard of any; yellow perch my have the upper hand now...

80% of us basically have natural immunity.

tbh I am really sensitive to any stinging/blood-sucking insects, and the usual allergies. epipen. Carhartt/Hoodie until it's like 95/75 or unbearable

Hrrr trying to ruin Sunday heat with debris clouds

Love that feeling when you walk out the door and it feels like exiting FLL airport! Just hits you like a wall, no escape

One of my favorite things in life.  That particular south Florida smell, the heat. Something unmistakable at FLL.

[WxWatcher007]

Summer’s officially here! Make the most of it, folks.

I know I’m a little late with this but wtf was up with that wind yesterday? It was gorgeous but man that breeze was whipping, like some kind of tropical system was racing by. Couldn’t believe it at times. I guess now we wait with baited breath for the wall of heat to make its presence felt! Many shirtless (perhaps shortless?) days lie ahead..

Models over the last few days have hinted at this for the past
few days, although the track of this feature is still a bit
uncertain. There is a pretty apparent split in outcomes between
the global models and the convective-allowing models; the global
models (GFS, ECMWF, NAM- 12) all take this feature across far
northern New England or adjacent Quebec late tonight with little
to no impact to SNE. On the other hand, the majority of the
CAMs have trended further SW, essentially backbuilding the
southern end of the MCS into the considerably more unstable air,
with a potential MCS moving over parts of or all of SNE during
the pre-dawn to early Sunday morning hours (approx 3 to 8 AM).
Although surface based instability progs at that time of day are
essentially nil, steepening lapse rates aloft support nearly
1500 J/kg of MUCAPE with increasing effective shear to around
40-45 kt, a shear/instability space which could support embedded
elevated supercells above more stable sfc layer.

There still is quite a bit of uncertainty regarding this feature`s
track and how strong it may become, were it to affect our area. The
outcomes here range from passing us by to the north, to an overnight
to early-day MCS capable of hail, wind damage and torrential rain. I
ended up following the trends in the CAMs, which increase PoPs into
the 15-25% range for the southern coast, and increasing to around 30-
50% for northern MA. After coordinating with the neighboring WFOs,
also included enhanced wording for gusty winds, hail and heavy
downpours. While not set in stone, there has been an uptrend in at
least some overnight/early-Sunday impact from this convective
complex. Stay tuned on this situation.

MEX is starting to pop some 100s up here Tue. 

Gfs ends the week with 50s and rain Thu/Fri.
 

Currently 54.4°

[CoastalWx]

Doesn’t look like anything exciting late night. All the good instability is in NY state. Could be good for nrn NY into VT. Maybe a little better out west by Berks.

Yeah.  I was noticing a trend to return to misery late in the week.   We toss.

Could be a lousy day though late day

Probably splits with Maine and NY/VT getting it.

Oh I just meant with sun and heat . I don’t think there’s any chance SNE sees the MCS. We don’t get those or anything exciting whatsoever . So just ruling it out
