We'll do more 80s with torch spots near 90F a couple of days, but next week has been modeled fairly consistently. It's not like there were big changes last night.

GFS caves to the Euro for lower dews tomorrow.

I feel ya on vacay. I’m happy for my plants though. Looks like the regular rain is about to move in.

Heavy, heavy drizzle We actually have moderate rates with the drizzle droplet size. Nice misery mist morning. 58.9°

It’s modeled warmer already for much of SNE.

Heh...euro has dews in the 50s for most of the region Thursday. GFS 65-70+. Not sure I believe the euro there. I think I'm on the mid/upper 80s train with 850s 14C up here to 17C south of the Pike. We have an early to mid April sun angle now and still some evapotranspiration.

Beer stein?

Was half expecting this to happen at the end.

The webbed fingers would explain why he's so concerned about drought though. Part amphibian?

Fairly seasonable week up here. Warm days and cool nights to start the week. GFS and euro have some rain up here Thu with the WAA so we’ll see how that plays out. It’ll probably end up being well into the 80s even up here. Then it comes down to the FROPA and CAA timing Friday. Right now it looks like a COC day up here with falling 850s and 70s although it could be in the 80s if the front slows. With the frequent cold fronts now we start running the risk of turning these 1-2 days torches in to wet CAD days and then we pull a couple of COC days behind it with W-NW flow. So the warm colors aloft won’t always be translating to the sfc up here. BDL will probably pull 90° Thu and Fri though.

I grew to love pack living here. Everyone here has their winter thing. PF has the upslope, you guys have the biggies, I have the consistent mod/hvy events and pack, some have the elevation boost, some have the rad cooling, James has the wind...lol. As much as the pack drives me insane sometimes it can be good for the yard. Having 6”+ over the landscape DJFM can really help insulate the plants. The CAD wedges can get depressing though.

Who are you?

Yeah I’ll have to do some digging on samaras from more obscure acer trees. I’ve seen striped maple seeds (have one in the back woods) and they don’t look like this. Other than striped, boxelder, and mountain maple I’m not really familiar with any other of the less common maples.

MPM moves around more than pickles and he’s a traveling gigolo.

Looks like 07-08 here. Except it wasn’t down to 10” the next day. lol

@tamarack Can you ID these samaras I’m finding right now? They’re fairly small and don’t look like the typical sugar, red, or silver maples I usually see. The top photo is zoomed in to the bottom of a Dunkin’s cup.

Your wife said they were yours?

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!!
