Brian, I noticed on the drought map you posted, your in the +1 to -1 while just 20 miles to your NNW I'm in -4 to -6. Hopefully next week New England gets a soak.

Bring on a SE flow of clean tropical air with quick hitting showers. Bahama Blues!

I don't know if this is the "official" reading for KBOS. It shows a high of 98.6F at 17:55. If that is the case does it go down in the books as a 99F high?

Logan is 98.6F as of 1:15pm with a dew of 69.8F Very impressive heat index

2nd line of showers with a few flashes was a good producer of rain. I went through a thicker part of the line. Still raining but much lighter .82" this evening

Came through here. Couple of rumbles. .17" lets see if the VT stuff can add on a bit?

Nashua at 7pm 82F and dew 81F

The GFS and Euro has Boston hitting 95F or higher tomorrow and Tuesday. If that happened it would be 6 days in a row of 95F or higher. I wonder if that has ever happened?

Today was really interesting today to see the storms moving NE while the anvils were being blown west. This afternoons time lapse from my cam shows that well. I don't get to see too many days with towers and storms going up all around me. https://video.nest.com/clip/bc4b6dd2709a45e9ae450216642e698e.mp4 .08" of rain as I slid through gaps in the showers and storm.

Unusual day today with the convection. It is coming from the SW but the anvils are blowing off to the SW. Usually the anvils come in before the precipitation but it is the other way around. Really nice towers too in the high humidity.

75/70 Shower just ending .07" heavy rain went just south of me. These time lapses are fascinating to watch. From clear skies this morning, then the convective updrafts. The showers just dump rain but the smallest of distance makes all the difference. Here is the past 2 hours. https://video.nest.com/clip/f0cdd0e33a664e1f9e2968e5c7ce32d5.mp4

Here it is up here on June 7th. Not as bad as down there but the first time I had ever seen this https://video.nest.com/clip/1b7dd1b198494caa95df188caab98ca2.mp4

81/73 Nice airmass towers going up to my SW.

Speaking of pictures, here is one from my Nest Cam. This was the July 21rst storm that gave me 1" of rain, hail and the 56mph gust. We spent a fortune about 10 years ago and put a lightning protection system on the house. I can enjoy storms much more now knowing that we are protected.

.23" last evening 71/69 NH electric rates went way up this week. Ours is usually around $130, even with the electric car. I just got an email to expect a bill around $240. Electric cars were so cheap to drive. They still are but the gap is closing as gas is coming down and electric going up so much.

Rain just starting 74F wind gusting to 27mph Time lapse of past hour https://video.nest.com/clip/0dcb50ba97b14925ba301d5d74e069cd.mp4

I just hit 90.4F. That is the highest temperature in 4 years. 2021 89.3 2020 90.2 2019 88.9 2018 96.3 but that was my old location above the house roof and not at 2m out in my apple orchard.

I just hit 90.4F. (It's Thur 8/4). That is the warmest temperature in 4 years. 2021 89.3 2020 90.2 2019 88.9 2018 96.3 (Anemometer over roof not at my new site at 3m in the apple orchard)

I have not paid too much attention to the next heat wave but just took a look. Wow. Wasn't it a few days ago that tomorrow looked like one super hot day? Now it seems the cold front will never make it into SNE until Tuesday or even Wednesday of next week. Not just a plain 90F+ 5 day heat wave but everyday 95-100F. The Euro for Bedford Mass (the GFS is a couple of degrees cooler and brings down the cool air faster next week) Thur 100 Fri 102 Sat 97 Sun 97 Mon 97 Tues 100 My question is...would this 6 day stretch of hot weather be some time of record if we take the highs and lows into consideration and average out the temperature over the whole period. 6 days in a row of near 100F each day has to be in contender for hottest stretch ever. Thoughts?

72/57 Partly sunny, nice breeze We take! Perfect temps for my liking. About 3" of rain this month so the grass has started to turn green again. For how long, who knows? A few years ago we had a very dry summer and SNE kept getting rain. The dividing line was always around Brian. This summer although it is dry we are doing okay vs SNE. I wish the tropics would wake up and throw a TS up this way.

For what it is worth here are the Euro and GFS high temperatures for next Friday

Done here .28"

I have been getting off and on showers and thunderstorms. About .20" Cells are producing some good downpours. I grabbed this picture a bit earlier from my friends webcam overlooking Newfound Lake

Congrat Beverly! 107F. Time to jump in the water.

Growing up in Baltimore the official temperatures were taken at a weather station on the roof of the downtown custom house. Then in the 1970's they switched to Friendship airport which is now BWI. These type of changes are a big deal as far as climatological records. I would bet if you looked at all the ASOS in the US and went back to the begining and then zoomed in on Google Maps you would see changes within the 1/4 mile area. That is why observatory's like Blue Hill or Mt Washington are so important as to long term trends. Meanwhile up here it is 68/65 and still getting training rain from earlier convection. Up to .64" Adding that to the 1" from Thursday storms this is the first good soaking since the first days of June.
