Flow off the water right now...near 70° Interior or offshore flow...85-90°+

There’s always a big difference down there depending on wind direction. Inland torches and the shore gets Pacific puke.

The BDL 90° record chance is taking a major hit this next week.

It’s an ASOS limitation. The ceilometers at most locations only report up to 12000ft. This cloud deck is above that height so the ob is officially “CLR” which is really clear below 12kft. If the overcast layer is 15kft it gets missed. So the apps don’t have enough intelligence unless the developers really went wild and tried to determine clouds based on vis sat pixels.

One of the most forgettable summers up here weather wise.

Lots of grasshoppers and locusts. I'm surprised I still see fireflies.

Looks like the BDL ASOS

It's a 5 day ens mean. No one said pull out the hoodies.

The ridge retrogrades westward.

My tents caterpillars went bye bye after Itchyassy.

Euro op had it too at 12z. I see 00z was a little more mundane and kept most of the cold in the GLs or north of us. Anyway, point is there’s been multiple runs from models for some sort of fropa during that time. I don’t expect much more than some COC, but we’re getting to that point in the season where the cP airmasses will try to start nosing their way into our latitude with more frequency. The ridge retrogrades a bit to out west which may open the door for some troughs to actually dig in. There’s some persistent relatively lower heights in the SE in the 6-10d as well. Of course BDL will probably have a heat wave during that period since that’s what we do now.

Charts lol

"Substantial" may have been a poor choice of words. It's not like I'm saying it will be chilly. Getting 850s even a hair below normal from the NW will probably feel substantial. In the end it's probably more of a mild down than this weekend. Of course if the SE ridge decides to really flex that could hang the front up a bit to our NW and it just clears us as a diffuse POS.

Was using the euro

Looking like a mild down this weekend and then ridging getting pinched off ahead of a more substantial cold front next week.

Great where?

IADOT 91mph

Tostitos Bear necessities right there

Screen doors slammed shut?

Epstein Salt?

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.
