  1. Min 56.3° Kinda chilly A few models are tickling some precip up here on Tue. Just asking for 0.75”+.
  2. Man times flies. I know most AWOS’s were upgraded to 3PT for precip ID and temp remarks (LCI and EEN got it up here), but I thought it was more recent than that. But now that you mention it I do remember the old 20 minute obs that used to come out of there with the original AWOS. BTW, whatever happened with the 25k ceilometer rollout? I thought that was happening 10-15 yrs ago and instead only some of the manned sites report/augment it in. There’s nothing more stupid in weather reporting than reporting an overcast layer at 13kft as “CLR”
  3. BLM and DOV were ASOS…AO2 ESN was manned in the evening BLM did have TS without precip METAR KBLM 131956Z AUTO 13005KT 10SM FEW044 SCT060 BKN110 34/27 A2988 RMK AO2 TSB00E16 SLP117 T03390272
  4. I hear ya. But at least it was an already highly anomalous soupy airmass. There were some coastal 80s along the seaboard. Not saying that explains it or that JFK was correct, but at least we’re not talking low 80s vs 65-70 dews.
  5. Everything moved in mysterious ways today. I feel like I have a webbed hand on my shoulder after seeing some of these qpf maps
  6. Can’t wait for you to get 4” and then post because it didn’t soak in well
  7. One of mine is loaded with catkins and has female flowers. The other two have male catkins for the first time…just hoping it’s enough to pollinate the big one! The pawpaws are still holding 6 fruit. It was a great June for the plants.
  8. No. But it’s been a good stretch for the fruit trees with rain every few days…just wanna keep the streak going.
  9. The correctional vector always points away from Tolland in the summer, but toward it in the winter. Funny how that happens.
  10. AWOS is pretty bad…especially when Tds start getting up near 70°. Then it seems like they start going up 2° for every 1° reality as they get oversaturated. It gets easy to pick out the ASOS and AWOS stations in IA when they get one of their big summer corn field dewpoint pooling events. ASOS ends up 25-27C and then AWOS is in that 31-32C area. It’s funny seeing 92/89 obs in the afternoon. I remember that JFK day and that it was a high dew day overall. Lots of 77-79 readings and spotty 80+ in the late afternoon down the coast of NJ/DE. JFK was in line with 77-78 most of the day and then had a couple of hours get into the low 80s…82 and 84 on the hourlies IIRC. The temp went down briefly before a slight rebound before evening. There were some TCu around too with the breezy S flow off the water. Maybe a little evap cooling putting a little extra moisture in the air? Not sure. But I’ve seen spikes like that from manned stations pre-ASOS days too with temp recovery after showers/storms.
