Outflow is running well out ahead of the line now.

Internet has been out for over an hour. Down to 69.5°…rain ending now.

That was a nice start. Got caught in the covered portion of the run in it…damnnn loud off the aluminum roof.

Looks like a lot of 97/98 5 min obs. Maybe a puff of jet exhaust?

There will be plenty of rain in winter.

86/71 Pretty soupy. Expecting the middle portion of a 7/10 later.

Ashes, ashes we all fall down

Later is better for here. Should be active here around peak heating.

3 straight 70.0+ mins now…first time I’ve done that here in 15 years. Maybe it gets wiped out later today.

Deck surfaces can get pretty hot

Yeah I tossed that 118° due to likely radiation issues. Once that midlevel flow went easterly it was a pretty good downslope for the western slopes. Definitely an exptic setup where everything came together.

I believe FEW is only 1-2 octas, SCT is 3-4, BKN is 5-7, and OVC is 8. So the ceilometer is scanning the sky in every direction/elev angle looking for clouds. So you could have an OVC layer overhead and north of the station with the south side clear and it may get reported as BKN even though there's no drop in insolation. You could also be FEW/SCT and have one Cu sitting right in front of the sun too. Then there's the CLR debacle where many ASOS ceilometers only report up to 12kft so in advance of systems you can get half a day's worth of CLR obs despite an OVC altostratus layer at 15kft and then suddenly it lowers enough and you go from CLR to OVC120 (12kft).

CT Heat

FEW rarely even blocks the sun...it was probably a tiny cumulus on the horizon. But they were right back down to 36C in the next 5min ob too so with the 5min running mean it was just more likely to be 98F. They'll probably pull off a 101F before all is said and done though. Pretty impressive with 70+ dews even if BOS is running a hair too warm.

More likely 98°, but they’ll get there eventually.

Logan up to 98°

Man Ryan has 98.4° on his Davis.

Congrats DIT. 92°

OWD is 36C like BOS.

I don't live in MHT and consider it SNE. I've been running behind yesterday since mid morning...just a lot more clouds. It's starting to clear out now though and the temp is responding so maybe it'll end up similar to yesterday in the end. But my point was that the epicenter for the heat yesterday was S ME/SE NH and today is further south into E MA.
