weatherMA Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Low 60s in SNE and 45-50 in D.C and overcast. When does that ever happen? Made it to 62 here, perfect day, everything blooming like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Monday's torch may totally bust in many areas. 18z NAM barely has 2m temps to 60F at Logan on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 AWT Yeah most of us thought that was a possibility. Could be 50s and 60s in most of eastern CT while areas west of Hartford get to 75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Tomato before the full moon in May, good luck The last freeze around here is usually in mid-April.....there's a less than 10% chance of freezing temperatures here in Dobbs Ferry after May 2nd. 30% is April 24th...he's even closer to the coast than I am, so planting tomatoes around April 20th is almost completely safe. Also, a light frost doesn't do much damage to tomatoes, especially if you cover them with a sheet or spray them before a cold night. The main problem right now is that soil temperatures aren't warming very fast given the cloudy conditions and below average temperatures; I'd wait for the soil to warm up significantly before planting warm-weather crops. I've got cauliflower, carrots, peas, arugula, and Brussels sprouts in the ground already....green beans and squash seeds will go in around April 20th, then early May for hybrid tomato, eggplant and peppers that I buy as young plants from the nursery....finally the seedlings for heirloom tomatoes and eggplant that I'm growing inside should be ready mid-May. Right now I'm working on the soil by adding kelp, bone meal, and lots of manure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 00z NAM brings 2m temps barely to 70F for BDL and CEF on Monday. Our in house 4km and 12km WRF have low clouds and drizzle most of the day on Monday. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 TWC FTW? They've had my Monday high ranging from 65-70 the whole time. The 85's some stations threw out last week have trended to 70s forecast. Could just be the beginning...60s at BOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Kevin's forecast of 80s on Monday and 70s most of next week is in some serious trouble. Low clouds, a cut-off low, and other junk are really starting to cause some problems lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I think the bigger problem for the Boston area is how much mid level junk will be around during the morning and therefore, how quick low level stratus will burn off. If we had straight sun from early morning on...no question BOS would shoot through the 70s. I still think BOS beats 70F, but those 84F temps might be out of reach.

Damage In Tolland Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 For those that backed off the warmth yesterday that appears to be a PHAIL..never use the NAM for backing off AMOUT TORCH is on. 80 at BDL MANY REGIONS WILL LIKELY SEE TEMPS APPROACH THE MID 70S WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF REACHING 80 IN SOME LOCALIZED SPOTS.

CT Rain Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 NAM just looks lost to me. Yeah the NAM, as always, looks funny. But the GFS has cooled off quite a bit too. Winds stay 180-200 or so on most models and when coupled with a lot of mid level junk clouds mean low-mid 70s for the warmer areas in SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were just talking about temps for BOS at work. Tough call, but I feel like once the sun comes out, temps will warm quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have stuck with 80 tomorrow. BDL might even get above 80 Can't believe it's going to be that warm down there. I'm thinking this torch talk is an elaborate hoax. You'd like it here, 40" OTG and wolves to eat any chipmunk up. Just was awakened by the eerie sound of a wolf pack. Went outside to take a leak and found they were VERY close.

Tough call, but I feel like once the sun comes out, temps will warm quick. 48 hours ago the GFS and Euro have 1000-500mb tkns >570dm. Each run has backed off more and more. Between the clouds and a non-downsloping wind direction I think 75 is definitely possible for BDL and BOS but 80 is going to be really hard.
