That's an August storm if I've seen one.  I remember such a setup in Aug 2003, PVD/SE MA got smoked.  Great shots

*edit* SST's aren't quite the killer for you south folks Aug/Sept =)

Yeah I remember that. Had big hail in Duxbury. @amarshall

We had quite a few back then. Probably don’t remember the Scituate/Marshfield super cell that brought baseballs to Scituate on 7/3/04

Gorgeous backlit CB on expressway tonight heading north. Expressway was flooded so we had to detour through Quincy. Man hole covers popping off by Furnace Brook Parkway. Biggun storm.

I don't remember that one.  But .. Yore

64° / 58° .  10-day forecast looks more than takeable. Best August ever? 

 

[kdxken]

So many great photos from yesterday. Most photogenic day of the year?

Looks like COC is going to win out in the 10 days starting Monday. It does feel like a bit of a seasonal shift with the cP airmasses trying to make more latitudinal gain southward. Days still look warm, but dews will be down again.

Sure…like I said, after Monday. Work weeks looking more COCish and weekends torchy.

Embrace the coc, it’s the only coc you have.

Another fantastic night in the 70s here on the shoreline. BDR and HVN 74 for the low.

Time for some addition now that the Great Heat of August '25 has ended.  Days 90° or above at the the majors: 

Worcester - 0

Providence - 1

Boston - 2

Hartford - 3 (non-consecutive) 

Anywhere north of route 2 - 447

That’s actually perfect. Any sports or outdoor/ yardwork activities and ACATT will be drenched in sweat and swamp each weekend And weekdays they have to work so can’t enjoy the smoke and coc k.

Air temp no longer matters, how many days above 90F is the “feels like” temperature.

But you rained every Saturday didn’t you?

Late March into June, yes.  Then I planted the garden and the spigot was turned off - 1.53" since July 1 and 0.00" since August 1.

That should get parts of Northern and Western New England moving into moderate drought territory.

any concerns with your well?

[weatherwiz]

Already not liking the darker earlier mornings and the earlier sunsets...both very noticeable now and it's getting depressing. Not looking forward to the dark by 4:00...unless its snowing out. The thought of having a a snowstorm ongoing and its like 4:30 PM and already dark but its so peaceful and calm with heavy snow is very soothing. 

[Typhoon Tip]

Last week of the month may try to evolve warmer ...kind of a newish telecon signal.

[CoastalWx]

Had several days in the 90s here.

At least the week heading into Labor Day  looks to warm up.

I haven’t weighed in on the great debate and I love summer, but the dog days are over and the step down is here. Still summer…but you know what’s coming next.

Heh, how soothing would that be if you were homeless? 

Luckily, CC will ultimately prevent 4:30 PM heavy snow when it also triggers civilization collapse we won't likely have to suffer the former state of affairs.

Not to spark off a moron's subjectivel insufferable debate ... but, as I get older, I'm losing connection to even that nostalgia. I'd just prefer it stayed mild enough all winter to continue engaging in outer low grade athletic activities.  Like bike rides.  Golf, both disk and stick varieties.  Going for runs.  Tennis..etc.   I'm probably destined to a warmer climate during retirement, provided the shit below doesn't get in the way.  Just a few hurdles to overcome ...

If I were a billionaire ...I'd build an extra-double top secret compound in the wilderness somewhere, replete with all three: water, wind and solar power generation options.  AC/DC converters and state of the art battery capacity is utterly off power-grid.   This compound's 15,000 acres would be surrounded by a 30' wall with guard towers, the top perimeter of which has highly sophisticate movement detection and entity identification ...annnnd with precision laser ammo (no bullets) it'd sound like a electrical fly zapper whenever some red neck in tattered rags with fractured words that read something like, 'makin 'merica great aghin' attempts to incur upon the edifice of the wall...  Oh, throw bombs over the wall?  well...little does anyone know, there's a extra-double, top secret black project in QM that has developed Quantum Interference force field technology. When turned on, it creates a transparent sphere of uncertainty principle; such that anything or object of reality that attempts to move through it, can't, because said objects quantum state ceases to exist.  This is precisely calibrated to be on the inner 'last defense' side of the wall... you know, give 'em a chance to give up.  

To mention, sanitizing/recycling above ground.  Need to have an under ground self environmentally sustained/contained storage facility.  20 year's-worth of stored various freeze dried and/or non-BPA canned food stocks for if/when hunting and growing seasons fail ... Ranging over to the typical accoutrement of needed sundries for health.  The inside of the living complex has pool, rec room... movie theater, and standard living quarters.

Yeah I see myself headed that way ...

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Well..at least we have 6 months of fall incoming.

CON is +4.8F on the highs and -1.1F on the mins.

No need to worry about the snowstorms.  
 

They don’t happen anymore
