It's going to be tight, but if BOS can go back to back 100s that's not been done since the 40s. This definitely a step up from your low to mid 90s heat wave.

I live 11 miles sw of Boston and the high for these 2 days has been 97.  Comparing Boston temperatures to the 40's ignores the massive heat island effect of all those skyscrapers built since then.

My Davis got .1F higher than today back in May. Hot, but was expecting a little more in SNH

I guess I'm confused. Even with the heat island effect BOS hasn't done back to back 100 degree days. So it would seem pretty significant to me event if land use has changed in that time.

Think it made it to 97 here today. Was hoping for a sea breeze to kick in but that didn’t happen.

The last time PVD had back to back 100 degree days was 1991. They didn't make it this time.

They've been stuck at 99 for a while now. I've been dialing into the ASOS to see if they've hit between hours but no luck.

August 12th and 13th 1944. Patton was rolling through France.  Note  the name given to the heatwave. Grampy exaggerated too.

Boy to hear the talk in here you would think we hit 100 degrees all the time.

Interesting (from a few hours ago)

BOS was 100 long enough for it to count.  Waiting for the tale of the tape…

This is going to be unpopular, but cutting down trees to make room for solar panels should be outlawed.  Unless they are impeding on your house and possible storm damage.  I drive through Maine and see acres of clear cuts for panels.  Its gross. On top of commercial buildings, land fills, desert or other wastelands, fine.  

Edit.. I will add open hayfields to the ban. 

There's no plan to cut for the solar panels.  I was trying to get ahead of anyone who might suggest that we cut some trees to improve our solar production. They provide valuable shade, etc.

101 and a record. In fact, all records for the big 3.

CON and MHT 97F today

Hot, but nothing memorable.

How else can he post every model every day and night in winter? He never answers when asked what the job is

Technically a record for MHT (but that database is in shambles), but nothing for CON or PWM and tied at AUG. Heat definitely dropping off to "near-record" farther northeast.

I’m a little bummed from those MOS numbers a couple days ago… wanted to pop mid-90s up here.

Been 90-91F.

It missed us south ... no question. 

Last minute Charlie Brown. 

I was blaming it on that outflow waste that poured through the area overnight and tho I feel there's some value there, I'm also noticing the rim of the core/tallest heights arrived on the 12z sounding S of the guidance mean leading prior to today. So we were duped a bit ... 

These are minoring issue and probably don't account for very much ...but the difference between 97 and 102 really isn't that much, either.  But it could be enough to have cost us that much of a fake out.  

I'm wondering if tomorrow goes ahead and stalls at 94 ?

Yeah MHT would've had it in 1966 like CON...lots of missing data in there.

So what happened? There is a big difference between 98 and 102 scheduled for my area.

Those were pretty robust MCSs that blew threw. That could've been enough to shove the 850 gradient southwest a bit.

[dendrite]

Nammy 850 trend right up to the analysis. Mid level temp gradient def tickled southward

Yeah good call.  This morning especially felt cooler than I would’ve guessed going into Day 2.  Those multiple rounds that moved through last night seemed much more developed than any model had, even short term.

CAMs have been pretty bad with this stuff. But it's always been their biggest struggle. Remnant MCV-type initiation.

How do scientists explicitly account for urban heat when measuring Earth's global temperature to ensure that local heat islands do not skew data on global climate trends?
