Davis dews and tarmac temps are what summer is made of. 71/64 currently up here. Feels like summer.
-
Earlier today... a summer vibe type of view.
-
A low temperature above 100F is hard to understand for me, that's crazy. I mean really think about that!
-
Torrential rain... this air mass can still produce some heavy downpours for sure. Yet another day of storms igniting over Mt Mansfield and the higher peaks, then drifting downwind into town. Now down to a comfortable 70F here with this rain cooled air. Crazy how warm it still is in the CT River Valley on this map... mid-80s?! Even BOS is still 85F at 8pm... hot hot hot.
-
Not quite this extent, otherwise there’d be more glaciers around Tahoe. A lot of those Sierra sites were like several 100s percent of normal SWE, taking a while to melt.
-
This popped up out of no where over Mansfield. Torrential rain at the ski area.
-
Yeah to have some sites in SNE at like +5 in the summer is impressive as summer departures are usually more muted in extremes than winter departures. But you are right, it’s not a +5 caused by week long stretches of 95F or something.
-
Damn those are big departures. We are ticking up a bit here at the ASOS east of the Spine. BTV torching like it does. 1V4... +0.4 MVL... +0.7 MPV... +1.2 BTV... +3.9 One of those is not like the others though...
-
After the recent rains, we are up to over 15" in the past 2.5 months. Averaging 6.3" per month.
-
69/60 up here at last observation... feels better but still not quite the same as those mid-50s type dews and lower. But this isn't like a rapid drop to a 50F dew or something. Still a bit of humidity and the forecast calls for a gradual lowering of dew points into the mid-50s by midday tomorrow up here.
-
1.30” Solid soaking overnight.
-
It gest exciting, quickly, in mountain drainages that absorb a large amount of water...some torrential rates. Unfortunately most campgrounds in NNE have a stream/river nearby that can flash flood when it drains the higher elevations... but this air mass can rain it seems.
-
Props for owning it... you can always back it up with data, which is refreshing in a hyperbolic world.
-
Some real good lightning strikes in this guy. Tropical rains, easy to see how some of you saw torrential short-duration high rain rates. Popped up out of nowhere over the Spine of the Mtns... the benefits of living just east of the higher peaks in the summer is plenty of rain for the gardens. Updrafts start as air backs up on the western slopes and then it rains it out on the Spine and eastern slopes.
-
Ha it’s like a sporting event... dews or no dews.
-
Humid evening with stale air up here... no breeze and dews upper 60s. Today was one of those days where it feels ok and then a 10-min shower rolls through, leaving minimal rain (under .10”), but all it seems to do it increase the low level moisture and humidity.
-
Chinese take-out food last night?
-
Pretty sticky out there. 80/67 but clouds keeping it in check.
-
Yup you probably should. I run conservative depending on the event, I don’t want to over-promise skiers. Better to expect 8” and get 12”.
-
Yup that’s the best way. Like the other day when he said mid/upper 60s dews at the mulch bed but ORH had a Td of 49F and 55F at BDL. And always assume quoted temps are from BDL and quoted dews are under a sprinkler. Any rain will also likely be downplayed significantly...unless it’s from severe storms at which point it’s time for tornadoes.
-
That’s when I take the bait... even knowing he’s trolling, I hate non-factual information or just blatantly wrong hyperbole. We get enough of it in the media and politicians.... don’t need to do it on a science based forum.
-
Down to 63F... comfortable with good air flow. Almost chilly with a fan. Who needs A/C? The difference from here to BTV is pretty incredible with a 4,000ft ridgeline in the middle. Windy and warm, vs. calm and clear radiational cooling.
-
Ha, that's pretty good. I'd buy it. Best seller prior to modeled coastal bombogenesis?
-
Lol is that really showing 175kts of wind just off the deck?
-
Got up to at least 87F today up here off a low of 54F. That’s in “hot” territory for here. Feels more humid with dews in the upper 50s. Noticeable from yesterday’s 48-52F dews. Still some high diurnal ranges this month...only 33 degrees today but was just shy of a 40 degree spread yesterday.
