Our highest temps typically have lower dewpoints. Lots of humidity in the air make it harder to get very hot temps.

Dews that low though? I thought when it’s near 100F we are just roasting with dew points in the upper 60s instead of the dreadful mid 70s lol

[HoarfrostHubb]

A lot of our big heat days have had dews in the 50s.   
love those.

I could see 50s inland perhaps if its W to WNW flow. You'll notice anywhere near the coast (especially south coast) dewpoints are much higher with SW flow off the water.

Turned out gorgeous 

[Damage In Tolland]

Dews will not be in the 50’s. That was supposed to happen with the last two heat waves and it was in the 70’s

4 major climo sites all-5   every day this month BN that should continue until Sat then the great reversal for a week then slightly AN rest of the month. First 10 days BN AWT Sticking with Aug +1.5 due to big mid month heat wave.

This week was BN on all EPS ensemble next week is a torch.

Okay, yeah I didn't look at the EPS last week to be honest.  I just recall several cycles of operational runs showing higher heights aloft, with sfc 2-m's above 85 from those sources.

Bravo to the EPS I guess...  OH wait.  Know what ... I may have f-up the time ranges.   There was small interlude of +PNA that rippled through the continent and the operational warmth might have been more aft of that - possible.

But, I do believe though that there's some idiosyncratic aspects that were not well handled, that have played into the cooler profile, too.  Smoke being one of them.  The last 3 days were more than just inconveniently pal looking skies.  Plus, the high pressure moving through Quebec when working on top of smoke ...there's a bit of synergistic feedback there -

If not for that stupid low offshore we probably could have gotten into some EML action this weekend and perhaps some MCS activity. that offshore kind of screws up the flow so hard to tell if we would have gotten something in here

NW MA is real dry.  We only got an appetizer from last week’s big rains and now the long range is Sahara.

[forkyfork]

so are summer canadian airmasses just ruined forever now

[HIPPYVALLEY]

I’ve been up in the Hill towns every day, bringing my kid to theater camp and the trees are stressed. Droopy, leather leaves, and already getting color fade.

[dryslot]

Cockd, 73/58°F.

[CoastalWx]

Departures waning though each day since 8/1. Should be near to AN by Saturday. Then furnace as far as the eye can see. -1.5 for the new 30yr normal is like N to above in the 1980s lol. Smoke hasn't helped either. So basically you need onshore flow and dense smoke to stay BN.

Or a massive 850 flip. The BN stretch was well advertised. Some just would not listen. Last hurrah heat wave for the school bound students and staffs though, should be a great water week might even have some surf

We had two days of decently BN 850 temps Friday and Saturday. Then N to AN through today. Another mild down Thursday into Friday and then we AN through September aside from a mild down for a day or two.

I understand that most/all the fires are in remote, nonpopulated areas, but at what point is this considered "pollution" as there's lots of people in the mid west and elsewhere being effected by this healthwise. Can't they even attempt to squelch some of the fires?

MLCAPE of 4500 to 6000 near Fargo ND tomorrow..Yikes..I’d lust for that here. Probably not even feasible in these parts?

Here, it would come with zero forcing / lifting features...
