This is not a "become" issue. It has always been this way with weather headlines. We are reading too much into this as an Advisory . A wind advisory is breezy. A heat advisory is warm. A wind chill advisory is cold. None of it is necessarily out of the normal range/distribution of the seasonable weather, but those headlines (for decades) have been used to notify people it's going to be a bit outside the comfortable range. You notice it when you go outside, but it's easily managed.

For sure, wandering instrument is most likely and that’s why I said it was worth checking out. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. PBG, the dews did drop into the mid/upper 50s while the temp spiked on west wind. Instead of 88/70 it was 96/57? Thermodynamically it works but that station isn’t known for doing that, despite being in the shadow of the Adirondacks. Maybe something changed around the site allowing better mixing? Or the sensor is just off, haha.

Worth checking on PBG. The 100F degree day fit on the westerly winds off the Adirondacks and associated obs. However, I’ve paid attention to weather up here for over two decades now and haven’t seen that happen before. In the moment it synoptically made sense, but why hadn’t it happened in any air mass before? Now a 96F while BTV is 92F? The BTV ob is in line with the MVL and MPV obs (MPV higher, so usually the coolest max of the 3). But the PGB obs buck a multi-decade trend. PBG is historically a degree or so cooler than BTV.

Beautiful July evening walking the dog through the fields. Still plenty of light to go at 7:45pm. Just realized how late it is, dinner is going to be like 9pm at this rate.

It’s like weather is a team sport in here these days. Ride or die with your crew? Nice when folks can see both sides.

What’s with the attacking of the headlines all the sudden lol.

We’ve had about 2-3 hours with HI of 93F up here. 88/70 Its plenty hot outside, ha.

Most Advisories are meh. WWA for 3” of snow in January or February? I don’t care enough anymore, haha, except it does look like it hit the definition for numerous sites.

Wind chill of -15F is 5-10F ambient with like a 20-25mph wind. This isn’t average lows or maxes.

Wind chill advisories are pretty normal cold for January too. Or at least what used to be normal cold. I think you are reading too much into it. Don’t leave your kids or pets in the car, maybe don’t go run 10 miles at 2pm, maybe find some air conditioning… that’s what the Advisory is.

Heat indices are squarely in the advisory range. A humid 90F is essentially what it takes. WHAT...Heat index values between 95 and 100 expected.

I'm the biggest cold fan out there, trust me. Just call it like I see it, ha.

Yeah good luck with that trough that 48 hours later goes back to big ridge.

It got hot in a hurry. From a min of 59F and temps in the low-60s with dews in the 50s waking up this morning, doors and windows open, nice and cool… to now mini-splits back on AC and 84/70. Felt like it happened real fast.

High of 79F up here today. Dews in the 50s for the most part but rising throughout the day to 60F this evening. A perfect summer day.

Nice day.

Honestly not a bad thing when you aren’t getting eaten alive by bugs while trying to wait for fireworks outside.

66/50 in the valley. Bit cooler up here at the mountain. A nice break in the heat.

Remember when summer month anomalies of like +1 to +2 were considered very warm? Now it’s like oh, another +4.4?

56/53 here with a little breeze. Windows and doors wide open and almost feels chilly.

Missed the wind core by a couple miles. South side of Stowe on the county line with Waterbury got it.

Nice shelf.

Nice bow passing through BTV…

Got about 5F rebound with some sun, but the humidity is gone for sure.

Down to 63F here, dews 55F. Got chilly in a hurry.
