who wants to be inside on a day like today?

Everything is sticking to me...everything. Its so enjoyable and soothing. Listening to the hum of the AC, the birds chirping, feeling random blasts of hotter air, the sound of the leather slowly ripping away from my fanny as I try getting off it. This is just beautiful.

I am. Been sitting out here since about 7:57 AM.

Best chance for storms Wednesday may actually be just inland of the CT shoreline and into E MA

This is just so special...there are no other words to describe it. Everyone should be outside and sweating and enjoying this terrific experience

Be interesting to see what happens. Guessing for areas to exceed 100 we'd want to see their dewpoints mix to like 68 or 69? Just basing that off MOS/NBM and looking at dews for locations that are forecast to be above 100 and forecast to be like 98-99.

We are capped and we have no no forcing mechanism/ trigger to develop any convection. Even if we had something weak...with 700mb temps of +12C that is one helluva cap to bust. You would need some strong s/w to really bust that. A cap like this is even difficult to break out in the midwest

Truly special

12z MET looks like it ticked up a degree or two tomorrow

Just love this...sitting outside and my clothes are stuck to me. My computer chair is leather so when I get up, I need to use extra force because I am becoming one with the chair. Someone needs to journal our wonderful stories over the next few days. Just special

7.5-8 C/KM. 2-6km lapse rates even up around 8.5 C/Km.

Looking at the thermodynamic charts is a knife to the chest. We're sitting under 7.5-8 C.KM mlvl lapse rates and have already generated 2500-4000 J/KG of SBCAPE (we'll end up with widespread 3000-5000) and 2000-3000 J/KG of MLCAPE and should end up with 3000-3500 and LI values -5 to -8. This is about as unstable as you'll ever see it around here and it all goes to waste

There is heat and then there is heat. This is the upper echelon of our heat here...until we're somehow (and some day) able to get to the next level which would be widespread 105-110. It's the opposite spectrum in the winter with the cold (outside of I guess NNE) we don't get sub-zero cold frequently.

Working outside today...debated if I should or not but I am already coated in a thin layer of sweat. This is going to be special. I may take a joy ride later today and just listen to the hums of AC units cranked on full blast. There is a gratification to it, like taking a joy ride around the holidays and seeing all the outdoor light displays. Want to see pictures of people sweating, people at the beach, people fanning themselves, sweaty cracks, lines of people at ice cream places. There is really nothing more special than this.

Just like we discussed the other day

Yeah what sucks with this pattern is our severe chances…well at least widespread are super low. Only EML we get is tomorrow. If we get anything with the front mid-week…could be some good storms but severe would be more localized. More often than not Big heat doesn’t end with good severe here

And I’m in favor of the distance requirement increase. The term derecho should be confined to the top 1% of severe squall lines. And not just in distance but degree and extent of wind damage and (if possible) measured wind gusts.

TBH, with the new (well not that new) distance requirement we may never see a derecho again in the Northeast unless it’s something that rips across the upper mid-West and northern Great Lakes, southern Quebec, and then finally our region. It would have to be something ongoing…like what occurred in 1995

I like fire flies. Saw some a few nights ago. Reminds me of childhood trying to catch them. Install your ACs!

You never know what a full moon elicits

Staying at a hotel!

It’s now any event should be

At an open bar wedding so I’m open baring and thinking of Kevin and heat Kevin and you know what…he warned everyone. If you haven’t installed yet, I’d say I feel bad for you but I don’t. He warned you and now you have to rush to install. If you just installed weeks ago like he said all you would have to do is push a button. Now you have to struggle and push a button. Lessons learned people

Obviously the timing of an MCS is in question but lets say we're looking at a window where something could develop along a residual outflow boundary...it's probably a very small window...like 10 AM - 1 PM. The extreme instability is going to be sick to see here, unfortunately, it means nothing without a lifting mechanism.

One of these years we'll rip a good derecho through again
