Well a very nice low level look to reflectivity near Edinburg, IL, and a MASSIVE core aloft.
-
Yeah pretty classic "wait and see", but given the convection increasing in coverage they will probably make a decision soon.
-
ILX special is probably more representative than DVN. DVN looks pretty rain cooled overall. ILX though is pretty nice looking if storms can punch that low level inversion (which they should with some cooling lift/saturation).
-
Boundary is pretty evident on satellite, but you can also see a nice wind shift from AWG to MPZ. To the east it is lifting a little bit (moving into the GBG vicinity now). Will also have to watch the area between the low level stratus and the aforementioned boundary though. Quickly modifying and has the best combination of low LCLs and high shear.
-
In the FWIW category, that heavy shower in Carroll Co., IL is rotating. A lot of shear out there.
-
The forecasts for 0-3 km shear late afternoon/early evening are definitely something to keep an eye on. ~ 40 knots (westerly vector). As this grows upscale into a line, any N/S bowing segment could be pretty nasty with that background environment.

Ooo, I want to hear about Amalfi. We're headed there next April after my sister gets married in Florence (which we've seen before). Southern Italy will be all new to us.

Upper 40s for 999 ft in CT?
-
Somewhere along the path of the shortwave is going to have decent turning of winds through the column. Poke a little theta-e ridge up the Hudson and I wouldn't be shocked at a tornado or two. Overall skinny CAPE and marginal shear points to a microbursty risk around here. Closer to that shortwave though...

If I had to guess, the mower scuff is where the fungus got in and now there are several other cankers where the tree is trying to fight it off. The crown dieback is what really has me convinced it's something actively trying to kill it.
-
Hmm, sounds easy enough to give it a try. I don't want to lose it because it's most likely I effed it up by banging it with the mower before I mulched around it.
-
Did some investigating around my red maple with crown dieback, and discovered at least a half dozen cankers on the trunk. I'm pretty worried that this may be a losing battle. I'm trying to keep it watered enough to fight off the fungus, but it doesn't seem that I can do much else to help it.

Aurora already visible up at Katahdin. Brought my camera to work, forgot a lens...
-
Aurora sneaking into the area overnight. Forecasts actually show tonight (Monday night) being possibly a better show for farther south latitudes in New England.
-
Looks like our peonies developed powdery mildew thanks to the recent stretch of dry weather. The last couple of fronts whiffed PWM on rain, nada since 7/23.

In my dreams I own a house large enough to have a golf simulator wing.

Must’ve been the debris all over the runway helping to absorb some solar. *

I can picture Dendrite and his chickens flinging rocks away from CON.
-
Between this and the snow database BOS is a bit of a hot mess. I'm guessing it's far from the only first order station that has issues though.
-
Technically PWM temperature records only go back to 1940, but the threaded data goes back to 1870 something. July 1876 also average 73.1, but the thermometer was 82 feet up on Exchange Street so who knows how accurate that really is. So definitely the hottest official July and month for PWM, but unofficially tied for the hottest.
-
We average 69.9 here. Closer to 67 as you move up towards Bridgton.
-
Good news is that PWM tied the all time warmest month, even in the threaded database with iffy 1870s records. If BOS was the only site that did it Scooter would be wandering around the Seaport chucking * at random strangers.

Prefrontal trof and the cold front itself
