Mom in S Hooksett getting hail

Getting some towering Cu. Nice stationary soaker in Henniker right now.

Yup…running about 4F too low on average right now.

No wonder people grow and smoke so much weed there. It’s like a cannabis rainforest.

Green or white? I have a ton of white ash seed if anyone wants to grow any. I may throw a bunch in a big container with soil and let them germinate and grow for a year before repotting during their first winter of dormancy…gotta keep them alive.

There’s actually a weenie 100° in there at 9z (4am (CDT). Fun to look at, but the gfs and euro have been going a little too bonkers past 5-7d. But this is probably what the dust bowl progs would’ve looked like. Mixed up to H6 at 9z and close to getting into that 400mb mixed layer.

lol

And don't forget about hemlock woolly adelgid. Sudden oak death is creeping into SW New England now.

Garden phlox maybe?

Poor thing was promised 70F dews and is just waiting around until they arrive.

Tickle is a stretch.

I mean there's stretches where we debate how humid it was when dews are averaging in the 60s, but when we're arguing 48 vs 70 seemingly every day it becomes hard to read and a waste of effort. It's finally coming this time though. I'm ready for a little 90/70 for a few days. It makes me feel alive.

That was almost too easy

This is his favorite summer weather in years. But sometimes we all need a break from the bad science.

This is why Will left the board.

Give it 2 hours

We tried to tell'em

Where does beer rank on the health scale?

Some have been installed since April. Such a shame to have the windows closed over the last 3 months.

I said low 50s and maybe some 40s. ORH was 51F last hour and FIT is 49F. It's also 945am and we need to mix out a bit. Friggin weenie.

Like I just said, that dry air let the afternoon temps be higher than they would have been if there was more moisture in the air. If we had these airmasses in a wet pattern we're probably talking a well below normal June given how low wetbulbs ran, but that's one of those "if my aunt had balls..." arguments.

As you know the "desert" airmasses giveth and taketh. Cooler nights and warmer days. In the end the means are what they are and then the humidity levels and amount of sun are the punctuation marks on the perceived sensibility. Creep up that humidity and we lose the cool nights, but it also takes more "work" to reach those higher temps. But yeah, we're finally choking off that supply of cP air in QB at our latitude. Looks like the CAR region is still far enough north for glancing shots and that always leaves us with the potential to sneak in some near sfc backdoors (not necessarily temp but also humidity drops) cutting in underneath the upper level ridge. So it's a regime change from our perspective, but I think it's more of a seasonal progression of the same pattern with everything trending a bit north...or at least the ridge waxing and the QB trough waning.
