We don't pull many neg departures like this with COC this time of year. Usually it's with a wet ratter that ends up 64/53 or something. The string of 74/43 type days seem to be a bit more rare nowadays.
A little update...
Most of us on staff haven't had issues, but John just checked in and said he's had them and he hasn't been able to figure out the problem yet. "We're working on it"
In for the win today. 74F here and pushing 80F at LEB. CAA from the NE seems to favor the coastal counties a bit more relative to average. My old stomping ground in Auburn, NH was 42F this morning. We would rad like crazy near Massabesic Lake when we'd decouple after NE flow.
It was a pretty awesome summer up here (after June) despite being in the greens. I'd rathr be near normal with tons of sun instead of the mank swampazz rains of last August despite the torch temps. July was just days and days of 80s and sun.
On the flip side...I wonder how much of that orange shading north of the Pike would be yellow without the extra 1-2F anomalies at BDL, BOS, BED, etc. I haven't checked to see if ALB has been running warmer than normal too.
Some like to feel special like they live in this extreme weather spot that everyone else should be jealous of. You'd think his COOP equipment was at 1000ft and the valley thermo in a below sea level bowl.

Probably 45F on his official COOP sensor. His raw COOP forms are always trip. He loves putting "temp in valley xF" whenever it's a torch day or a rad cooling night. Your shielded decade old sensor is probably more accurate than his unshielded max/min one.
