Ju-ply 2026 Obs and Disco - Kicking it off with heat, humidity, and ... severe?

[dendrite]

Trying again to “clear”.  It’s probably just going to help it radiate and cool now.

New England finding new ways to foil big heat. 

[Damage In Tolland]

Smoke is back but cleared a few hours mid afternoon to help boost temps to where they were forecast. Tomorrow if the models are right will be a bust with skies as dark as midnight

Now off to the senate.. ugh wish we went to standard time though..

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted on a bill to make daylight saving time year-round and end the twice yearly practice of changing clocks.

Blows. Hopefully we can get NH on Atlantic time then.

Tons of smoke in the sky now.. the sun looks awesome

[codfishsnowman]

Clouds kept things 5 degrees cooler than expected here today

[CoastalWx]

I like longer sunlight in the evening, but I also don’t want it light at 8:30a in the winter. 

[CoastalWx]

Even KBOX shows echoes emanating from Moosup. Da fuk is going on there?

I suspect it either fails in the senate or a bunch of states opt out of it which will lead to it never occurring.  I'd hate to live in a place like Grand Rapids/Indy/Amarillo with a 920 am sunrise 

[CoastalWx]

Maybe a brush fire caught all the abandoned tires in people's yards on fire?

[SJonesWX]

not super hot (mid 80’s here) but the humidity is the real deal. My evening walk was a bad idea, fat guy sweats a lot.

Is changing clocks really that bad? What are we doing?

During my hs years there was a year where the clocks remained on Daylight Savings Time...it was awful. Kids falling asleep in class. Stayed mostly dark till late morning on stormy days.....kids waiting at the bus stops in complete darkness..at the far  western end of the eastern time zone it will be worse with sunrise not occurring till 9AM ish..

Another brilliant decision by the band of idiots who have damaged the country

Would take all 6 new england states and at least the state of New York for that to happen...

Doubt NY but if 1 state wanted to buck the rest of the region it would be NH

I’m fine the way it is. I’d be happy with status quo.

Looks like the smoke will linger into Thursday too

Been interesting following the HRRR simulations:

Seems it’ll be a part of our skies I’m some capacity thru early September at a minimum . These all exploded yesterday . 

[Damage In Tolland]

Amazing what a difference a week makes. Last week at this time we were all wrapping up 36-48 straight hours of rain with 2-3” for many and S coast double that. Then we go 7 straight days of hot, dry sunny weather and any gains we had for lawns, shrubs, gardens are gone . Everything burning and browning out all over again with little significant rain in sight . What Stein wants. Stein gets.
