Up and down year for my lawn. Started out great. Brown out by the end of June. Then a quick 3.25" of rain and it looked great again. Now with lack of rain it's starting to brown out. I wouldn't mind the tropical system in the Atlantic to come up here as a strong depression and give New England a few inches of water. Lots of haves and have nots this season.

I guess Plymouth ( NH) selectman are going to vote for a mask mandate. It was on WMUR. Meanwhile Bob's sister from Florida who has lived with her boyfriend of 10 years decided to get married. Since they are originally from NH they planned an outdoor wedding at Lake Sunapee in August. They have not cancelled it and it makes me upset that the contingent is coming up. I don't want to go. I hope it doesn't rain and they decide to move in inside. Don't know how you wear a mask and social distance at a wedding. They better not ask us to take off masks for photos. Such is family politics. So selfish in my opinion they are doing this!

Well that wasn't much. .09" very light rain. Breaks west.

This thing is so contagious. Not a big deal if you are under 40 but scary as heck for older folks. VT has mandatory mask now so NH is only holdout in the NE. Live free or die has new meaning

74/71 Moderate rain About .06" so far. Doesn't look like it last long but I'll take what I can get

I had 2.2" of precip this month so far of which .90" fell on July 8th. I'm in that 125% of average. It's so hit and miss with convection. Last summer I missed every direct thunderstorm and so far the same this year. The last time we had a true thunderstorm (shelf cloud, gusty winds that bring down twigs and sheets of rain with lightning and thunder) was 3 years ago. Other places like Brian just to my SSE has had several of these. I better keep my mouth shut because just in spite over the next week we will have a severe thunderstorm with power outages and limbs down.

A few thoughts on different subjects. Getting dry in my town of Bridgewater NH. Only .25" from the convection. Training convection just north of me produced lots of qpf in Plymouth NH I like these treads of potentials even if they are several days yonder. Always something to look for Speaking of convection take a look at the picture below. A Met friend in Tennessee took it yesterday. A hot tower rapidly building. Pushed the contrail up in elevation before the cap cloud even got there even though it was clear air. As far as tropical systems go up here. West of the track is more noreasterish with flooding potential. To see a big wind event you need a strong trof just west of us to yank it north quick with the center passing west.

Missed so many showers the past 24 hours. Grand total .23". No rain forest in my hood. Where r u? Lake Winni?

Still some light but with a few second time exposed the comet was visible above the house.

Looking at the Hopkins site right now. 1054 deaths today. Today's fatalities will be the highest in a long time.

Grab some binoculars. Find the Big Dipper in the NW and scan just below it. Should be quite high in the sky just after full darkness

Beautiful evening up here. Comet Neowise put on a great show. Really need to be in a dark area to see it. Here it is over Newfound Lake

85/68 Looks like the cold front is entering W NH. Dews should start dropping for me very soon. 60F dew will feel nice later this PM

Living in my area of Central NH for 19 years now I don't remember needing much AC till the last few years.

Low of 73.9F

I joined the 90F club. 90.2F, first time in 2 years. Does anyone remember the AMWX or Eastern WX get together years ago at BWI. I believe it got up to 106F that day at BWI with a high dew too. Going outside was a true steam bath.

YES. I'm sitting in my AC sunroom watching the VP2 with interest. 89.4F at 245pm. Will I hit 90F? I mean seriously? WTF cares about 1/10ths of a degree except me and gets excited about this stuff. Definitely weenie behavior. Mary Trump would have fun with my brain

Don't know if I'll make it 2pm 88.2/69

Noon 84.5/70 Last summer my high was 89.5F Will I break that today. 90F is not too common at 1100 feet in Central NH. My weather station high is around 96F but that was when I had the station several feet above my roof peak. Now it's out at 2meters in the apple orchard with the fan so I get much more accurate readings.

High clouds rapidly moving SE. Comet cancel and again tomorrow night will probably be cloudy towards the NW. Maybe Monday night if fropa can clear everything out

Finally we may have a good evening for Comet Neowise. Visability even with higher dews is pretty good up here. Hope the high cirrus from the MCS complex north of Michigan doesn't make it too far SE

55.5F still at 1pm. Rain shower last hour brings total to .15"

Front comes by too early in the day to give us convection?

1050am 54.5 Light rain shower .10" overnight and this AM Impressively cool for the climatological max time of the year

Heavy thunderstorm in progress. Most lightning I have seen this year around my hood. About .30" so far Last night a nice storm just north of me but a mess here
