Friday should actually see some gusty thunderstorms and some hailers...particularly along and north of the Mass Pike. Northeast Mass into southern/eastern NH could be favored. 

NH Seacoast T-storm Machine engage!

I’m going to pretend it’s a cat 1 hurricane so I can trick myself into enjoying it 

Probably still better than Henri.

Could be some quick hitting showers in NE MA/NH/SW ME today. We pray.

If I score measurable precip today and with the rain coming Friday, this week will be the wettest in a month. Maybe longer. To be sure, it’s not much at all - talking less than 0.75” in aggregate —but that’s how dry it’s been…
 

Definitely changes too in terms of cloud cover. Much less full sun, even on the fair weather days.

Another absolutely fantastic Chamber of Commerce day. Unlimited visibility. Arctic blue sky.  Man what an incredible August.  Huge surf as well. Will go down as my favorite August ever.  Hot sun but low dews, cool summer nights with tons of baseball softball games to watch outdoors with no bugs. Daughters team won a chip in the Willimantic league.  They are headed to Vegas for the nationals. What a month of Chamber

Euro Skynet is meh. So we meh for now

Friday just reminds me of one of those 'clippers' we get in modern winters that starts out further south in the long range, but eventually ends up north of the St Lawrence river . meh

Friday has always been just a cold front?

Weirdly poison ivy has absolutely no effect on me. I can clear acres with my bare hands and not having it itch.

That tree actually had none or very little. What you see is wild grape and porcelain berry.

When I was 10-11 yr old, I'd pull poison ivy vines off of trees and out of the ground as it had no effect on me.  Then I read that one could suddenly become susceptible and decided to be a bit more careful.  I got a very mild P.I. rash about a dozen years ago, but only after spending the morning pulling plants from the embankment behind the church parking lot - filled a 30-gallon garbage bag.

Another crisp autumnal day that started in the 40s.

They say 25% of people are not affected by it, 25% are very sensitive (me), and 50% are in between. One year I cleared my 350 foot stone wall of brush, wore gloves and long pants and a long sleeves shirt and still blew up like a balloon.

Oh I meant that coastal thing 

[Typhoon Tip]

Models seem to create their own triggers sometimes… Probably just emergence of chaos in the model as it processes out in time. If the layout is numerically/physically unstable as an initial condition and then the model plunks down one of its little invented triggers in the midst of it we’re going to get these weird solutions like that faux “Bob“ thing 

… Along with a lot of posts about why it’s possible ha ha ha

That was for SouthCoastMA and the clipper reference.

yeah it was always a front I guess. A few Euro runs from a couple days ago had the low further south and better lift here, and that has trended north. Loosely reminded me of recent winters where clippers seem to like NNE or southern canada the best.

Some of the earlier runs had the sfc flow backing a bit and a hint of a closing sfc reflection, but it never looked like much of a big deal for SNE. There may have been a run or two where it enhanced rainfall for N ME.

Can confirm that despite it being 73° it’s still plenty hot in direct sun.

Also—WTTTE on that coastal. We boring for the foreseeable.

one year when I was younger I was 3-wheeling with best friend and nature called. Grabbed some leaves to wipe and had the most extraordinary experience trying to wait tables at work and function for a few days after.

Pop up showers on the Cape too.
