We know you were monitoring that Alaskan sector/western Canadian monster -EPO tuck evolution, just like Tippy.... you just didn’t know how to articulate it right?

Yeah yikes. Look at those average temp graph Ginxy posted. Full on torch all decade.

Do you really need to ask James? Ha. Cape Cod climo is hurricanes, tornadoes and blizzards.

That thing put down some heavy rain over Lake Champlain. If it rains a couple inches over the open water, did it ever really rain?

Cool shot. Nice find Ginxy. Some real nice storms around these parts today but locally we only saw some brief downpour and a couple weak rumbles. Looked much more intense in the BTV area over to the Mad River Valley.

Hard to say. I think it might be. Same size and demeanor. He gave no shits we were there. The was a mom and cubs we ran into also at one point, that was more stressful because I don’t trust cubs.

Weekend looks like highs in the 60s on Saturday and low 70s on Sunday? Cool downs still hit NNE, maybe not SNE though, ha. Saturday...Partly sunny with a 50 percent chance of showers. Highs in the upper 60s. Sunday...Partly sunny with a 30 percent chance of showers. Highs in the lower 70s.

I dare him to chase me, ha. Bear don’t care about me, he’s watching the dog. I’m the bear whisperer now.

Just ran into another bear hiking with the dog... jfc. I've hiked 1-2 times per week around Mansfield and Spruce Peak for a solid 10 years and never ran into a bear while hiking. Now the dog and I have run into bears 3 different times in the past two weeks. I had my head down listening to music and almost walked right into this guy. Photo from a safer distance once we ran back down the trail.

Like Dendrite said, cooler to the north and the boundary has been between RT 2 and NH/VT.... like a SWFE. KTolla loves it now, he’ll hate it when it’s raining at 32.1 this winter while its ripping snow where torches go to die. Nothing higher than 88F at BDL though so far and temps at +1.0, so it’s not like they are baking down there.

MPV... -4.0 MVL... -3.6 Quiet the below normal first week of August in NNE. Throw in the upcoming week/weekend... the first half of August is going to register pretty cool. As far from a torch as you could possible be. Nice to see someone can get below normal patterns in this torch climate.

Number of days between 90F readings at BED?

Ha yup, there’s no give from the AHHHATT crew whatsoever. As soon as one point is made, another station or ob comes flying out of someone’s ass. Full on torch all August regardless.

Everyone is onboard. && Long term /Friday through Monday/... as of 436 am EDT Tuesday...to say that the weather through the long term will be beautiful is an understatement. Following the cold front on Thursday, afternoon high temperatures will only warm into the lower to upper 70s on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Social media reminded me of a thunderstorm from 5 years ago. This thing rocked us at the picnic tables (hikers and lift riders actually eating lunch on picnic tables on the Octagon Deck). View is looking south down the spine of the northern Greens... storm got juiced in the Champlain Valley and exploded over the western slopes. I remember thinking the windows were going to break on the lift building. Good-sized hail coming in at sustained 60mph up there at 3,600ft, it was like kids were throwing handfuls of rocks at the window with every gust. Of course, everything in weather is a little more crazy at that elevation.

Yeah I was going daily departures unless otherwise specified... like PVD -2 min and 0 max. I was more looking at the overall picture of the 4 main BOX climo sites they list on the NOAA website... BDL, BOS, ORH, PVD. All of those look like today will register normal or a tick below for the total daily departures (on the backs of the mins at BDL/PVD and maxes at ORH/BOS). I didn’t look into TAN/ASH/FIT etc. I get what you’re going for Tip, because I agree. What seems like the cold shot or whatever is verifying around pretty close to normal on the daily departure, with some sites above normal on the maxes. So the “cool down” in this climate is just getting back to baseline.

Semantics but today had BOS at -4 on the max... ORH -2 on the max... BDL -1...etc. Its essentially normal today, not sure I’d have given today an above normal designation.

Impressive differences on the mins... like a solid 10F lower across the board.

4 out of 5 August days so far with dews in the 40s. 77/47 this afternoon was sublime.

It’s hilarious how he tiptoes through claims on here lol. Summer climate is made up of: 1) Daytime highs at BDL 2) Overnight lows at ORH 3) Dew points over mulch on Davis We think that yields a climate similar to Washington DC area?

Ha to be fair, I just looked through the SNE sites and man, what a difference from up north. That dew point boundary that's been around the past 3 days has really impacted the departures. We're going on our 4th day of low dews and it seems like it has never truly penetrated into SNE at all during this time. True gradient pattern to start the month of August.

Don't know about all this talk about above-normal August...especially considering longer term progs. First 5 days of the month will all be below normal and not really seeing any extended above normal. Could be pretty decently below normal by mid-month.

43F MVL and 43.5F (44) at the nearest PWS. Woodsmoke smell in the air at first light earlier. SLK maybe light frost? Lol.

61F at 8pm there, not bad! 55F up here now at 9pm. Full on September.

I feel like we don’t see dew fronts like this very often... boring but interesting. MHT went from a Td of 60F to 40F this afternoon. ASH did a humid 66F at 3pm to 48F this evening. S.VT has dews of 63F near Mitch, and then a 41F dew 15 miles north.
