dendrite

Yeah when I see rain/elevated convection getting into the cold sector it always give me pause about plowing the warm front through because of the evap cooling north of the front. It always seems to give the cold sector more staying power...especially here in CAD land.

I saw an 896mb in there on Dupage. lol.

Got this email from Dr. Powell, but here's the Tweet. For anyone hoping to get the transgenic American chestnut back into the wild click on some of the links and leave a comment. Hopefully the US govt will give it the green light.

It was a nice summer, COVID and all. But weather wise it was boring. It was like running a cold winter by having 25/5 every day.

No rain and no cool downs. There were a few really hot days, but overall we got to the record with a continuous stream of AN days. No particular day really stands out. Boring.

Hickory!!

63.2/56 off of a high of 71.9F. Not a drop today.

This will be the year we pull off a cold early fall and close the windows in Sep with COVID lurking around.

Those have really nice bark at maturity.

Yup...entirely different tree. The nuts aren’t edible either. Gene has one and it’s a nice ornamental, but he does have problems with sapsuckers. His tree service has done a lot of work to seal it up to keep it alive. I’m not familiar with the different cultivars though.

Dunstans are a hybrid with good resistance. Any chinese tree will have resistance too. I know our Agway tried selling a few purely chinese trees last year, but they were still there in the fall. You can find 100% American trees online grown from seeds from parents with good blight tolerance, but there’s no guarantee on what those seedlings will produce. I have about 10 american trees in my yard right now because I’m on the early list for those transgenic american trees from SUNY ESF. I need to have some pure american trees with it to create genetic diversity. Half of the nuts from the transgenic tree with carry the blight resistant gene and the other half won’t. I believe the transgenic ones are expected to be available to the public in a few years if they get the OK from the govt.

I'm just hoping for a cold front this winter. 2 would be gravy.

62/53 Still no power

100m wind speed is in 1hr increments. Just back dat map up. https://weather.us/model-charts/euro/2020080312/new-hampshire/wind-speed-330f/20200805-0600z.html

70-75kt winds at 925 over CT.

I really don't know what to expect. There's caution flags on each side of the spectrum. I wouldn't be surprised if it fails or if it surprises. Not much of a forecast there, but I don't need to make one for this so I'll be sitting back and enjoying watching it play out.

It has a 100kt LLJ into the interior at H85.

I believe it's some kind of algorithm used to mechanically mix down wind from a certain level. I think there's rarely any real world validity to the numbers those maps spit out.

We can always go higher.

I'd rather have a correct forecast than a pretty one.

The actual model gust product has some 50-60mph gusts across SNE and SE NH too.

TS warning requires 3 straight hours of vis reduced to 1/4 mile because of dews.

EC 100m AGL wind. If we can warm sector up here it could be interesting for a couple hours. It's a long shot. Toss the 80mph winds, but it could get gusty.
