I know.  Those pesky solar panels.  Our system went online exactly 2 years ago.  We just put them on our east/west barn roof not our south facing house roof as I didn't like the esthetics.  With a few more hours to go this June it produced 1.1 MWh.  at our current electric providers rate of .21kWh that has saved us about $235 this month.  It paid all our electric bill and kept my electric Mustang Mache charged as I only charge on sunny days. Currently we also have a $140 credit from May.  It will be nice to run our 3 window AC units full blast the next 5 days although we don't have battery storage so we do have to pay for electric at night.  The nice thing is during the days we sell excess power back to the grid.  That helps the grid on peak usage days.  Bring on the heat!!

 

Ours only online since June 4th

Nada here.

Just enough rain to fuck up laying hay.

Thankfully just the perimeters under the tree line. Cow feed.

They’ll eat anything.

10 years here, no electric bill since May 2016; wife was skeptical at first, kinda looks almost brilliant right now

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

What’s the word for Saturday? Looks good, maybe some scattered storms evening and night?

Like why issue a warning for this area ? Absolutely ridiculous. It’s a thundershower 

wow what a mistake!!

BOS is probably gonna stay above 80 Thursday night.  Congrats. 

[CoastalWx]

Wonder if we have debris clouds tomorrow. Seems possible.

Feel like BTV is usually a candidate for that too in these heaters.

Yeah I just read that they've done it twice since 2018! That's damn impressive for that latitude.  Maybe with a S wind and enough nightime cloud cover they pull off another one.  It hasn't happened around here in my lifetime, BDL record is 79 back in 1955.

It’s really the south wind that does BTV in.  There’s like a localized nocturnal jet that can even strengthen overnight on the VT side of the Lake.  You’ll see most stations calm (like Plattsburgh on the NY side of the Champlain Valley), while BTV is steady 15mph gusting 25 in like tropical breezes.  And the temp will be like 86F at midnight lol.

That's a mean looking MCS dropping out of Canada. My dad might have to abandon his campsite for the second time today. Oof.

Watching closely here. Hoping for a light show.

Thanks. If ORH can hit upper 90s, we're looking at real deal heat.

BOX Point & Click is 104 now for the western part of Enfield on Thursday.  I'lm thinking a few less.  

[rimetree]

Turned on AC for first time this evening. Getting soupy out there...70/69. Let's get that MCS later...trajectory looks good but expecting it to fizzle  approaching the coast.

It will be a day of lots of 97-99 readings. 

[Torch Tiger]

Saturday looking better for storms. Remnant EML? and should be some nice dcape if heating doesn't get mucked up by debris

[Torch Tiger]

on the 0z gfs, you can trace the h7 vorticity back to the four corners area.  Good trajectory to get an EML or remnant EML in here

Interestingly, according to AI/the internet 72 F is the record high.  I was curious what it was as we were up top one day in 2009 (maybe?) and it was stunningly beautiful, 68 F and still some snow piles in the parking lot.  Got some pics of it around here somewhere.

Idiot AI.  1.3 mi from the summit as if that is a fair comparison when dealing w/ sharp elevation.  I've played w/ AI query for historical wx, and it messes up a lot.  Conflates events and overlooks obvious details that make all the difference.

I’ve been looking for an excuse to use the word “torrid” so I will for the next few days 

I've wanted to use torrid, but it implies dry or parched, so that matches desert-type heat better.

Great production.  It took me like 28 days of bluebird August 2025 to hit 2MWh in a month.  How much does the pool filter add to your consumption?  

[WxWatcher007]

Best light show in years and I had to go to Saranac Lake for it.

Clouds a sig problem today w/ AM convection and dirty ridge clouds, so temps held back despite 1000-500 thk getting to 580 by 00z.  GFS has 98-102 across SNE Thu-Fri.  That appears reasonable.

The MCS is of concern.  CAPE up to 4600 in VT late in the day, and still near 3000 in SNE 2-3am Thu just ahead of it, which is outstanding for this area at this time of day (WxWiz EML!).  HRRR shows the MCS quite strong.  RRFS/NAM/ECMWF oddly do not have it, but the GFS does. 

[radiator]

It be thundering, yo...

WxWiz AM PT?
