dendrite

I usually break winter's back when the threat of < 10F disappears. Basically late Feb or early Mar when we start pulling more 35-45/15-25 type days. That's equivalent to fracturing summer in late Aug/early Sep which is right around the last chance for 90F. So I will say the back is currently not broken, but there are degenerative discs developing.

I consider 70F regular humidity. lol

Yeah, but by then we're ether side of 90F with regular humidity. I'll look forward to that weather then. I'm all set with the days and days of 100F+ heat indices.

It's fractured, but it hasn't reached Chris Sale severity yet.

64.5° with a steady -RA. A nice change up.

Yup…that backdoor is a cooler airmass, but still humid. There’s 3 airmasses over the region right now.

You can see the backdoor on radar moving through S NH and NE MA

Through Newburyport too so congrats NE MA on the imminent cool down.

DAW too…so there’s the door for coastal sections.

Yeah much more comfortable out now. BOS officially 98° today so no tied record.

I’ve never seen that. But remember ASOS official 1-min readings are actually 5-minute running means in order to “smooth out” the digital readings to make them more analogous with old mercury thermometers. So if you see 36C 37C 36C over the course of 10 minutes that 37C is likely to be the lower end (98F) unless there is a raw 1 min ob in there that spiked high enough to skew the mean up (which can rarely happen with ASOS).

98F is 36.7C…99F is 37.2C…both are 37C ie the 2 possibilities. You generally would want to see multiple obs in a row of 37C to say it crept up from 98° to 99°. If it’s just a 37°C here and there sandwiched by 36C’s it’s likely the lower of the 2 possibilities. The 5 min obs are confusing for most of us that really dig into the numbers. The temp is reported with less precision for the hourlies so it leaves us guessing what the converted F number really is. If they would just report temp/dew like the regular METARS and special obs we wouldn’t be talking about this 10x a year.

It never hit 98.6F. The 5min obs are reported in whole C so it came in as 37C. And it was only a couple of spaced out obs so chances are it was only 98F (36.7C). We'll know for sure later. If 38C gets reported we know that's at least 100F.

95+

Yup...35C can only be 95F.

Nammy and HRRR (to an extent) hit coastal sections with a BD/SB before the main front comes through. It's not through SFM yet.

Your official noon heat indices

Yeah...to get those all time record high mins you usually need clouds and prefrontal wind to keep the air mixed. That 7/5/90 overnight had a front go through before sunrise and by the following 5z it was down to 67F. Mid 80s almost all night with dews is rough though.

Holy shit my mom dropped a swamp azz on me

7/5/90 lol

You may want to look at some of these early AM dates for the warmest BDL overnight.

BDL low was 79. HFD 81. Like DIT said, wiped out this evening.

BD never made it through here…72.5° and dripping wet outside. Also, damn is it dark for almost 6am. I hate losing the light. 1.12” through the tipper and 1.11” in the stratus.

1.04” through the tipper…back to -RA
