  1. This is nice, but swampazz may start returning by the middle of next week and it could be a little more prolonged.
  2. BOX and GYX do. Who doesn't? NWS El Paso or something? lol
  3. The 96/74 this past Saturday at BDL is a warmer mean temp than anything they had last summer. Closest was 95/74 on 8/29/18.
  4. To be fair, last July's top 2 temps at BDL were 98F and 95F. So far this month it's already 96F and 94F.
  5. Last summer never ends Last winter never began Too hot to even grill Diane cooler, in Nashville Then suddenly, last summer
  6. There’s Kevin’s HHH at the end of the euro.
  7. I think you can see from Steve’s image you have little to fear over the next 15 days. The control and op are outliers.
  8. You need a FARS and some better mixing. Mr. Wood....tear down these oaks.
  9. The center of the ridging is a little west for big heat up here. With the seasonal progression, we're losing the effect of those lower heights to our northeast so at least some of the warm plumes aloft are getting our way instead of getting sheared and cut off to our south. EPS does try to erase the AK ridging and throw in a low around d10 so maybe we'll see the whole height field raise in the mid lats of eastern NAMER in response.
  10. Again...it looks warm overall. Not denying that. But the big heat and humidity should stay SW of us. We'll probably get grazed here and there. Does anyone think July will actually be BN or even N?
  11. I mean it looks like typical summer heat and mugginess at times. It hasn‘t really changed. Looks more like 88-92 over 65-70 dews instead of the 95+/75+ crap we had last summer. Then at times we’ll dew it down and the rad sites will get nightly refreshers. Stay the course.
  12. That little shit follows me around like a dog until 9pm begging for more and more mealworms.
  13. Didn't they move MVL within the last few years? Or was that MPV? I remember you posting about it.
  14. Here's my Davis. My data has been fairly consistent straight across the line. The last couple of years my lows have gotten a hair cooler (a more positive error). I attribute that to the new Davis SHT31 sensor that has better accuracy at lower temperatures. I do get seasonal shifts as I get a lot of evapotranspirational cooling during the day on the north side of my hill. My surface struggles to completely dry out. Come winter, that difference washes out with a frozen ground and snow cover.
  15. Then you get a station like BVY that is on the water like BOS. Other than some bad data that got repaired here and there, their temps have been fairly consistent over the last 6 years. If the BOS jump was somewhat real, you'd expect to see similar errors at BVY. I remember when we saw the CON numbers creeping up and Chris found they had installed rocks around the ASOS for better maintenance. Now their numbers are back in line. Goes to show you how much the surface around the sensor suite has an effect on the readings. I honestly trust Davis FARS readings more than some of the ASOS sites now. They may have 0.01C accuracy, but it doesn't mean much when they're measuring over rocks, sand, or concrete and averaging the data over 5 minutes. The days of yore probably have 12" tall grass around a stevenson screen with mercury max/min thermometers.
  16. BED has trended slowly warmer too. OWD has been losing their extreme cold mins relative to surrounding areas. Can anyone who follows them confirm that it seems they radiate less than in recent years?
  17. Just edit the URL to the amount of days you want. I usually look for the sharp jumps for identifying potential issues. The gradual changes over time could mean a lot of things and not necessarily a change in the station's quality or geography. It could be different stations coming online getting factored into the analysis for QCing. Home stations used to run warmer than the airports. Now with the widespread FARS mesos seem to run cooler than the tarmacs now.
  18. btw...those 99s are missing data. When ASH used to be a manned station with only daytime obs their nighttime/min temp numbers were always "99".
