You can see the BD, or whatever this backed in cold nuts shit is, in those top two rows...  Temp fell back 7 F and the wind into the E.  Thing is, the wind is only 8 kts after a half hour inside.  Also, the sat loop shows the leading edge of the strata arc has slowed while attempting to move into Essex.  

These are either false indicators, or, they mean this thing isn't going to get very far SW over the mid day here.  Have to now-cast which ...

My wife wants us to get those.  I've been hesitating...  

Get them, you won't regret it. I have them in my new house, better than central air with ducts all over the place.

78

[Brian5671]

83 here full on summer

[jbenedet]

People gonna think I’m full of it but I actually ain’t minding the bright overcast and dewy 60. Good weather to get shit done in comfort.

Too early for 80’s and dews. 

[CoastalWx]

Door is here. 

[jbenedet]

Just as I say that the sun starting to pop

[Typhoon Tip]

Shorts and short-sleeves in full effect now...

76, almost no wind under a searing sun winning thru a smear of thinning cirrostrata and mare's tales. 

Even tho there is a blue balled Labradorian cold plume lurking up near Ray back porch it ooks and feels like straight up summer. I'm sure the door arrives here at some point over the next couple hours...

Brain and Scott,  your beloved Norways absolutely exploded overnight in town here.  Since 2 days ago ...they went from vaguely discerned bud swell to full flower and even infant tiny leafs hidden inside the bouquets.   Red maples are clearly flowering, too.  Doesn't look so nuclear anymore. 

Forsythias obviously fully out.  Lawns are greened and/or greening with some lengthening of grass stalk.  Just saw a bumble bee hovering around in wonder - like a silent homage to a confusingly early air mass.    CC does have it's moments in guilty dividends, huh    ( hopefully that triggers Winterwolf and Ginxy into an entertaining back draft - )

Yes absolutely. It was 77 on the thermostat last evening . I mean it hit 83 with low 60’s dews. I love the early heat but also love to sleep 

I ran my ac for sleeping.  Bedtime 76 in the master bedroom so for me a no brainer.

And 9 miles away I’m 21 degrees above BOS

Yup everyone is different of course, but why they won’t make the effort to install or just flip on the switch on a hot night like that is crazy to me

Because we just spent months with our windows shut, I like the windows open to get the fresh air. Installing in April is dumb especially next week when it’s gonna get cold again.

Definitely a flaccid temp drop here. Seems to be slowing SW progression a tad. Still 70.

[amarshall]

Double post

Is there a temperature range that’s comfortable for you? Or is it directly from heat to AC? 

[Baroclinic Zone]

We had wide open windows last night with the beautiful temps and breeze. Rains added an extra chill to the air. No need for AC.

Friday evening’s door will suck for SNE to  northern mid Atlantic. Better than equal chances of effin up a good Saturday. NAM is sniffin’ it out. Wagons north.

Whole house fan here.  Sucks the heat right out.   Too early to run the CAC and haven't had it serviced yet

So you went to to bed with white painted walls and awoke to yellow walls?

[CT Valley Snowman]

Approaching 80.  Looks like another mid 80's day here.

Nah it dropped into the 60's overnight.   Was ok with the ceiling fan running too.

@dendritealmost looks like G waves heading NE off the coast from this shallow front.

Noticed that pushing NEward after I posted it. Pretty cool.

We like cold winter and HHH summer but especially high dews. Doesn’t have to be 90. Nothing else in between .
