Interesting early July bullseye in the OH valley there. I figured they'd be closer to late July like us with the bit of Great Lakes influence. I suppose it's a source region thing with predominantly a S component around the western edge of the mid US ridge. S TX has to wait for the Gulf temp lag while the OH valley is getting their airmasses from landlocked areas.

CON hasn't had a month with an above normal max T yet this year. Dec 18 was the last.

Monthly max temp departures ORH Mar -1.6F Apr -0.2F May -2.9F BDL Mar -1.0F Apr +0.6F May -1.0F PVD Mar -2.2F Apr +1.2F May -1.8F CON Mar -1.6F Apr -0.6F May -3.9F

Huh? ORH was -1.8F for March. April was a hair above with +0.5F, but the avg max temps were -0.2F.

Do you get secretly angry when you're hiding in your AC'd home, BDL is 97F, and your Davis only peaks at 89.9F?

46.5° Last 40s for awhile after tonight?

We had a lot of nice weather last June. It wasn't until the final days of the month where the swampazz and brutal heat surged in. It's tough to pull big heat and dews until the solstice. Just like how it's tough to do big cold before the winter solstice.

Catpaws mixing in now. 35F

Windows open? 49.1° with a moderate rain shower rolling through.

Still the western edge of a trough hanging on for dear life over us at d10, but my guess is it would end up much like the one last weekend...probably warm and relatively dry. Eventually one of these warm surges into the upper midwest will get advected our way before getting pinched off. As the arctic sea ice and permafrost continues to steadily recede it seems it gets more and more difficult to get enough amplitude to get mid summer legit cP airmasses in here. Once the meridional aspect shuts off it’s like we flip a switch into heat and dews as the subtropical highs bulge northward. Occasionally we sneak in some shallow cold fronts to take the edge off the heat or maybe provide a decent radiational cooling night or two, but we just don’t get those deeper H5-H10 shots like we did in the 60s through 80s once we get into the first week of July. I’m not sure we’ll ever see July 30s at CON ever again. Looks like 1979 was the last time it happened.

I couldn't have said it better.

Nice evening for mowing.

51° moderate rain

Not mine. lol

Pretty easy to distinguish horse chestnut american chestnut

We rain. 55°

Save room to replenish the american chestnut. https://theconversation.com/new-genetically-engineered-american-chestnut-will-help-restore-the-decimated-iconic-tree-52191 T-2 years if the estimate I've heard from the rumor mill.

I lived in APF for a year and loved it. I'm not afraid of 95/75...but my chickens loathe it. I've always weenied out here over big heat and 70F+ mins. 7/21-22/2011 was awesome. If there were forums in 7/1995 I probably would've gotten banned from the excitement.

Looks awesome Mike.

I'll add I kinda hope we can some higher dews soon. Some of my plants would appreciate some tropical temps with higher RH. It's easier to propagate stuff outside too.

My bad. Read "10 days" at the bottom. Still, it's 00z.

We'll probably see some heat and dews later next week, but I'd toss the extreme swampazz for now.

12z says we cold front.

Nice...a d10 dewpoint map for NJ from the 00z euro.

Enjoy your rain.
