Wish I didn’t see that. A little morning sun was fun while it lasted.

What were the highs the last few days down there? Whenever I look I see low 50s from BOS to GHG. 

Made it to 83/84/83/71

lows were 48/50/51/47

no a/c required for this

[rimetree]

It was actually a pretty mild week with a highs of 69 Monday, 76 Tuesday and 68 yesterday. It didn't really feel all that warm because those periods were brief as most of the time we were holding under 60F. 49F and breezy now.

Happy husband appreciation day everyone. Just letting everyone know so your loved one doesn’t inform you about it until 10pm. 

Do the Hallmark cards for this include To Do lists on the inside?

Yup…sweet clearing behind this band of clouds coming in from the east. Even in the middle of it there’s breaks.

Its been brutal the last 2-3 days. 40s and 50s with little to no sun. 

Oh dam…that sucks.  Feel for you. We had a July week here with upper 80’s and Thursday hit 90.  Yesterday was gorgeous too with upper 70’s.   62 now with clouds…high is forecast close to 70 today.

52° with heavy overcast. Misery missed has stopped. Great day for working outside. Shrubs and trees popping their colors

Interesting heat island effect around NYC as the mank tries to push west. Very cool watching it in motion. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=local-New_Jersey-02-24-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

I think there’s better mixing over the land which is helping to dry out the low levels and limit the easterly mank trying to advect in. That’s why you have the cloud line straddling the NJ shore too. But basically there’s enough land that makes up Long Island that the further west you get the more you’re able to take a bite out of that stratus.

How come that didn’t happen here…there’s a lot of land from eastern mass to my area..and the clouds got us anyway.  Go 20 miles west of here and it’s clear.

There's deeper low level moisture up here...not much dry air to mix down and dissipate the stratus.

Going for the +1 up here… 68F and mostly sunny.  It is a gorgeous Saturday finally.

Nice, good for you guys.  66 and cloudy here.  If the sun can break out here, it’ll get real nice.
