GFS 2m temps going crazy again?

They hit at least 82°, but I’m pretty sure we were never arguing the BDL ‘mac. Still that’s -2F on the high for them today. Only 74.8° at Tolland1K…chilly!

you must be new here

Under. Although Friday may be the hotter of the two days the longer that front lags.

Hahaha. Pouring here

The chickens are working hard to keep this from building westward.

Sorry...adult population. Just using the tweet Deace quoted. I'll add that I have no idea what the numbers officially are...but I'm sure that moron Steve Douche 100% doesn't know how to interpret statistics.

Maybe this is the Delta Tau Chi variant?

But 90% of the population is fully vaccinated. Round their population up to 10 mill for easy math and that's 9 million vaxxed versus 1 million unvaxxed...i.e. 209 out of 9 million versus 115 out of 1 million.

Please think about the pets today.

We had a visitor the other day too. Luckily it just destroyed the feeders.

you’re 71/64 at 11am lol

Clouds and a breeze. 73/65 down there seems like typical warmth off the water. The stronger caa is into N ME. A little of that may pinwheel in as a weak backdoor tonight. That low south of sne may help invite that in. Once we kick that out we can really start to blowtorch. The weekend may be more of a mild down.

Meh dews. Typical August humidity.

We’ll see how close the Davis forecast is. Only 80.7 today…even I had 84.6.

I’d probably take a little over, but those 2 days could be meh. The real torch begins midweek.

Hoyer?

Another comfy morning. No humidity yet. 58.8°

CNN is worried about the Gulf Stream shutting down now. https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/06/world/climate-gulf-stream-collapse-warning-study-intl/index.html

I love when 1/8 of a traffic light is sneaking into an empty square and you have to make a guess as to whether it counts or not.

Where’s wiz?

20 straight days of 81F or lower here. Pretty crazy for peak heat climo. Only above 84F once since June (an 86F).

This is the best the back lawn has looked since 2009. Three apps of the coop poop fertilizer in the spring followed by all of the rain and cool temps turned it into Ireland back there. The clover is going wild too (good thing). Unfortunately it’s been a little too wet and cool for the pawpaws that are north of their natural range. Some of them have yellowing leaves which look almost like they’re going into cool season dormancy rather than disease related. The 4” and 8” soil temps are 69° and I’ll assume they prefer 75-80° in the summer.

70° clear Nice evening. Glad we here.
