Your brain is beer fried if you think 82/57 isn't COC in mid August.

heh. Found the obs. Almost the same exact deal as today. A nice TSRA to bring the swampazz back after the 100F too.

Synoptically there is light NW flow at 925 mb over FL still tdy, so that makes such events more likely, but as we saw ydy, the mesoscale details were everything.  It all lined up perfectly for 2-3 hr.  Law of averages and large numbers say this will happen at times!  And this time, it just happened to be at a long-term climate site.

Also, when one extreme occurs, another one like it in the short-term is often much more likely.  Similar patterns breed similar sensible wx.  How about that period Jan-Feb 2015?  Probably one of the most spectacular examples for New England, and it was so localized, confined to ern MA/RI and Downeast ME, but it was @CoastalWx "VIOLENTLY RELENTLESS! " 

It used to be thought heat bursts were rare, but once the NWS and FAA installed ASOS/AWOS in the 90s w/ so many more locations and 1-min obs 24/7, we found they are a lot more common than we thought.

It mixed out a bit, but I don’t think of this as a traditional chamber airmass even though it’s a beautiful day. Dews will be back in the mid 60s there this evening into tomorrow.

There’s a larger airmass change tomorrow into Friday in NNE, but the front will be hung up way down there. Next week we may see more of a backbreaker.

I do think we see a solid precip shield of showers moving through later tomorrow afternoon and evening.

The dry air is relative to the track and placement of the front. The overall heaviest of rain and thunderstorms is south (NJ/LI)...maybe CT coast but I think the llvl warm front is north enough to where we get precip to build inland.

Yeah can’t rule out a couple showers scattered but the heavy stuff stays south
