Well said. I'm sure some up North will be lighting kindling soon.. but down this way the muggy meter is still rocking.  I think many will be taken off guard when dews return..

For a couple of nights around 9/11 two strong light beams will be lit on the summit of Mt Washington.  Similar to what they do in NYC.  This will be an interesting experiment to view.  Supposedly, the beams will reach 3 or 4 miles into the sky.  I wonder how far they will be able to be seen?  Of course this all depends on weather.  It could be a cloudy stretch and no one will be able to see anything.  It could also be clear with good visibility.  I don't know if the beams will be the same strength as NYC but I guess those  could be seen from around 60 miles away.  So adding the extra mile of elevation I assume these beams will be seen at least that  far away.  The one interesting caveat is that years ago on one of the overnight Eco tours they had  I was able to spend a nighton  the summit.  A coastal storm was forming way down the coast and New England had a high cirrus layer.  I could make out the glow on the underside of the cirrus from Boston to the south to Montreal to the northwest.  So my assumption is that the best condition would be a very high overcast at 20 or 30,000 feet.  Then perhaps the glow could be seen throughout much of New England?

Perfect weather day.   74/51F.  Great vis.

Drought situation.  Assuming we don't get a shower tomorrow night the grand August total is 1.66".  For July it was 1.64".  Amazingly dry.  Thankfully we did get .80" on August 23rd.  In my general area I know Brian has been extremely dry too.  He got a nice thunderstorm a little while back that I missed.  Brian,  what is your total for July and August?

3.77" here in PWM for Jul/Aug total.

Unfortunately, that includes the 1" I recorded in only 10 minutes on the 13th (1.19" event total).

It was a top 10 day of the year here.  81.  Mid 50's dp.  Working on the house as usual for this summer.  Full paint job done.  Installing a new wood storm door (seems out of order, but its a long story).   Fun chisseling the hinges to be level with the jam.  But, nocking off 10 year old hit lists this year is enjoyable. I am going to sleep well tonight.  Hope to see a few innings of the sox game.
