I used to love modoki Mario.

All real to me this time of year. The lower dews make the heat bearable and the cooler nights mean window fans over the AC.

Only +1.2 at CON. The radiators were much cooler with the abundant dry days resulting in relatively lower mins...especially early in the month. Probably explains the pit at TAN too.

Mostly sunny and kinda hot. Up to 84F.

NAM is doing the dew on Thursday and as a result is keeping temps relatively down. We saw that happen with the 2018 early July warm plumes come verification time. Something to watch for that could be a fly in the ointment for century mark heat.

Cold rain?

That was any VT college in the 90s. The Sublime version was aight, but at LSC we always did the original. Need that video game verse or it isn’t the same.

It was 97/73 but the leathery look of the leaves made it bearable

I use two ply in the morning I use two ply at night I use two ply in the afternoon It makes me feel alright I use two ply in time of peace Two ply in time of war I use two ply before I use two ply And then I use some more

My guess is it becomes a “mild down” like this past weekend. Late this week is going to suck. It’s tough trying to keep the birds cool…a lot easier dealing with -15° than 95°.

I'd like that, but good luck at 294hr.

Ugh RIP Bill Russell

I’ve got a couple on a handful of milkweed plants on the backside of my garage. I’m going to make a small area in the back yard next year that is all milkweed and wildflowers.

Pretty good model consistency for a big heat day this Thursday. I keep waiting for the 850s to lessen, and they have, but that plume is still exceptionally warm. GFS and EC are around 22-23C near peak heating. We used to use that “add 17C” rule for hot summer days with 12z 850s and they’re running around 21C at that time. So that puts the hot spots around 38C at the sfc…ie 100F. So we’ll see if the potency of that plume survives out of the northern plains. If it is overdone there it’ll be overdone here.

Think my high was 78°. It was pretty breezy in the afternoon with lower dews. But yeah, it was warm…especially when the sun came out. We were mostly cloudy for most of the day though.

Is that kudzu on the right? None of that looks that bad. If that's overgrowth you'd cringe here. I've been letting milkweed run wild in the yard and the monarch caterpillars are loving it.

It’s almost 90° down there…wtf? lol

Pants tent airmass this afternoon

Not mowing

Hasn’t been too bad up here…near normal or a hair below.

Like Scoot said. Be careful because the convection can rob moisture.
