Had to close the windows because of the heat and humidity. 76.1

What a great time to be alive

Early summer..only a glimmer of what's in store.

63.0 at 2am

I would suspect BOX has the right idea. Of course there will probably be a few surprises but I don't see this underperforming to a great degree. 

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Trough digging over the Eastern USA becomes a closed low Friday.
This further turns the upper flow out of the south, drawing
unseasonably humid air north. Precip Water values of 1.5 to 1.75
inches are forecast. This would be ho-hum for July, but not so
for mid-April. Average values for mid-April are 0.6 inches, and
high-end observed over the past 70 years have been around 1.4
inches.

How's that trolling? That is remarkable.

This time of year is great...just endless sunshine.  At least the temps look mild.

Yeah we're headed into the "self-destructive sunshine" phase of early summer. Good obs

I wouldn't image that one full month straight of sunny 78/50 in Southern CA inspired many people to study wx

Anyway, interesting couple of days upcoming...obviously will be some sizable rainfall totals and will be important to see where amounts are maximized.

Everyone in the world has been effected and pained by every single weather event we follow track and are enthused by . Every single weather event has effected someone horribly . Take a moment and think about that .This world has gotten more politically correct than ever  . It’s just that now some people are getting upset over anything ...I.E “baby it’s cold outside” pulled from the radio.. to each their own ...but people would cope better if there wasn’t such a premium on being offended. I am going beyond this weather board and I’m not speaking directly to anyone here this is Just what I see and what gets ratings . 

 

 TRuthfully If I was effected by something like a hurricane where someone close to me was hurt and then someone posted about wanting a hurricane I would understand they are not cheering for my discomfort and someone’s death. * Unless of course i didn’t like the poster than i May choose to interpret something they said in a way That fuels that opinion * or maybe if I liked them I would decide not to comment and give them benefit of Doubt that it was innocent natured . . . Otherwise you go down a slippery slope where you are on egg shells enjoyunf anything at all weather related (anything) and nobody here is doing that 

Yeah, of course there should be serious discussion. But at the same time, when you remove the lighthearted and easy going aspect, you have a very sterile environment. Everyone is different and maybe some want a very banal, obvious, sterile thing. Nothing wrong with that but you've effectively removed any personality differences.

That's quite an accomplishment.

Nope you're wrong.  That 960mb should be stalled over BOS.  Get it straight.

I was fully expecting that

Next winter I'll be sure to remind you savage heathens, chest thumping and high-fiving your vodka cold -40s , that people are on the streets dying. Wah wahhh

We all love and want extreme weather. You don’t want or wish property damage on anyone. But it is a byproduct of the extreme weather we all crave. If someone has 3 canoes swept away, that’s not a big deal . But if those 3 canoes crashed into someone’s picture window and wiped out Granny’s China collection, well that’s a different story .

It is perfectly okay to wish for coastal flooding with ruined homes and beaches, car/truck pileup on interstates with injuries and fatalities, people frozen to death on the streets because they're homeless. Literally wishing model run after run for that perfect 960mb stalled at 40/70

But make one post about a flood or a strong banger and you're the devil

What does "moving on" have to do with sensible weather?  

Sleeting at 37F outside my window...embracing summer as best I can today .

See ya Saturday when you float by

Dr Dilldew?

With a name like dryslot..yikes. Has N of Pike hit on you yet?

Heavy

 Most noticeable, though, will be the extremely
warm low temperatures, especially Friday night. An influx of 50-60F
dewpoints will keep lows from dropping out of the low 60s or upper
50s Friday night.

35.3 in the cold valley..chilly finish to winter

Nothing says late August like a low near freezing and highs in the 40s.

 It's early summer now. 60 today and that is a cool down. Most of us have moved on from winter and embrace the "other" season.

46.3 bone-chilling degrees, the last dying breathe of what we knew was winter. It's early summer so these (relative) Late August, early September chilly nights will only be moderating from here.

Bring 'em up

.HYDROLOGY...
River levels remain high, though the only river still in flood
is the Connecticut River at Dalton. The high flow levels in the
rivers will set the stage for another possible flooding scenario
this weekend. Warm, moist air will move north into the region
with several rounds of rain possible. Through the weekend it is
expected that much of the remaining snow cover in northern New
Hampshire and western Maine will melt and run off into the
rivers. Although the location and amounts of the heavier
rainfall is still quite uncertain, there is the potential for
significant flooding to occur mainly in the headwaters. This
would most likely occur on Saturday into Sunday, with any
flooding possibly lasting into early next week.

...
As of 314 PM EDT Wednesday...Our confidence is increasing for a
moderate to locally heavy rainfall event Friday into Saturday
with sharp rises anticipated on many local rivers and streams.
The probability is increasing for several rivers to reach minor
flood stage with the potential for a few to reach moderate flood
stage. In addition, embedded higher rainfall rates could
produce an isolated flash flood threat during this time period,
especially across complex terrain of the Adirondacks into
mountains of VT. If current trends continue a flood watch is
likely to be issued either tonight or Thursday.

Reality won't go down without a fight.  

You just said summer is here...in April...in New England.  Anyone with common sense might push back on that a little.

It's here

Snow...lol

Heavy dews and raging rivers/streams. This is what we've been waiting so patiently for and it's finally here.

57.0, warm sun. Wind aside, not a bad day.
