CoastalWx Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 South of the pike had a muggy afternoon...but the front got compressed back south AWT...and its not coming back anytime over the next 60 hours. Look at that ridging and CAD signal on the NAM through Thursday. Maybe later on Wednesday or Thursday temps improve slightly down in CT, but you and I are screwed.

dendrite Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Temp down to 48.0 now with a heavier shwr having moved through. I'm gonna pull a moneypitmike and say that I never got to 50.0F today, even though technically the high would be 50F. I seriously maxed at 49.9F...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 South of the pike had a muggy afternoon...but the front got compressed back south AWT...and its not coming back anytime over the next 60 hours. It was 61/60 in Ayer until about 4pm, then it was 51F or lower since. That was a very sucky and disappointing weekend day, yesterday. We went from murky cameron diaz face smacking schit ( that Ray is currently in the process of rationalizing it to be not as bad as it really is/was to save his own sanity) to even more cameron diaz face smacking poopiness... The only thing worse than this is ... heh, nothing - fascinating. Absolutely 0 redeeming value to this weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Humid my fanny. Yesterday wasn't bad at all, in fact the higher dews actually make it feel much better. I walked to McDonalds yesterday around 5:30 PM...just had a light jacket on, I was very comfortable...didn't even really sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 It got pretty muggy from TAN-PVD-TOL. Typical stuff like you would see in a SWFE winter where he flips to ZR while you and I pound S+. And I would be all rain, hate SWFE to death. We didn't really have that many SW flow storms considering it was a strong Niña winter, just the 1/18, 2/2 events and then one in March. 12/26 was a straight Miller A Nor'easter which is unusual for Nina. It was 61/60 in Ayer until about 4pm, then it was 51F or lower since. That was a very sucky and disappointing weekend day, yesterday. We went from murky cameron diaz face smacking schit ( that Ray is currently in the process of rationalizing it to be not as bad as it really is/was to save his own sanity) to even more cameron diaz face smacking poopiness... The only thing worse than this is ... heh, nothing - fascinating. Absolutely 0 redeeming value to this weather. Was this a backdoor cold front with high pressure ridging in from Canada, or was it more that the warm front sagged south allowing our winds to shift to the NE? Didn't expect it to be this cool today...high of 60.9F but fell quickly once that front arrived. Currently 55/55 with ENE winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 it's interesting what the NAM is doing on this run... It has all these bands where QPF maxizes next to zones where almost nothing happens... There's one such band from western RI up through central Mass/NE CT that looks like it must sum up to almost 4" total, yet BOS registers about .4" total on this run - out through 48 hours anyway.

HoarfrostHubb Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Just very very dirty minded People at work were so whiny about this weather I told them: "Never fear, Blizz says muggy 60F will be on the way" I think I just saw lightning...

But I think it's a backdoor... On hi res sat imagery you can see it cutting S and SW through eastern PA and central NJ, quite sharply... It's a change to denseness that is much more uniform E-N of that demarcation. The environmental flow can also be seen lifting over this/that boundary - it's backdooring no question at this point. When it came through here up in N and NE Mass yesterday afternooon I am inclined think it the same because the high at the surface was building across N Maine and GOM at that time, and that tends to presage the BD's in this area. Just happened to do so amid an on-going murk that tried to hide its presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, well ... this had nothing to do with "heat" . You could lose this and elevate it 30F and it's a lovely NOT HOT day. We're not talking about "heat" - that's why speaking of this as okay because you "GET" to be trapped inside sounds dubious. A, it's okay - to each is own. But I don't like it hot either. This weather, right now, suck balls dude - admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong gradient across NJ this afternoon...Wilmington, DE got up to 75F today with mostly clear skies and winds light/variable, as did surrounding locales in extreme southern NJ. Meanwhile, Newark only hit 63F with NE winds around 10mph. I had a high of 60.9F here in Westchester, almost 10 degrees below average, but I believe that was overnight because it has been cool all afternoon.

You can get into blight conditions, too - but barring that, wow did I have a cucumber crop last year! I was pulling 30 fruit every 4 days during mid-summer. This year appears heading for a troubled start in that regard. Anyway, I also am into cloud videography these days ... the two of these hobbies kind of makes thing warm/humid reliant.

Mr Torchey Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hopefully we get the soaking rain tomorrow, cloudy and cool with sheet drizzle once in a while today, but no rain, just saw radar maybe a shower in a minute but nothing to the south. SOaker tom, then......................fri, sat, sun, mon................SUN and 70s!!! Rain then day after day of perfect weather, a perfect mix, Best spring ever keeps rolling on!!!

nzucker Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 It's all subjective. If I could live 2500' up during the summer...I would, lol. I spent all of my first 18 summers at our vacation cabin at 1500' in the Poconos of extreme northeast PA (my parents are both teachers and have the summers off, they bought this house for 45K in 1986)...average July day there is 77/55. After I finished HS, I got a job as a newspaper reporter here in Westchester and had to stay home alone all summer in Dobbs Ferry. The heat/humidity totally blew me away, Summer 2006 wasn't nearly as bad as the preceding summer but it felt miserable to me, as we only have AC in the bedrooms. I was really going out of my mind with the 90/70 weather and the lack of radiational cooling at night. When you live in that 1500-2000' elevation band in NE PA, you almost always get down to the 50s at night during summer, and often the 40s, heck I remember having the heat on in late June a couple times. Average low here in Dobbs Ferry is 66F in mid-July, and it's not uncommon to stay in the 70s. It was a brutal transition, now I've gotten used to and appreciate the heat since I started my veggie garden in 2008. I was glad to be working in MT last summer, living at 5000', almost never got above 80F compared to the torrid conditions in the Northeast. We had a high of 39F on June 16th in St. Mary, MT with snow mixing in with +RA. A 998mb low tracked through eastern MT, absolutely blasted us with rain, mountains with snow. I got home to 90/70 weather and was nearly going mad. I think only one night the whole summer stayed in the 60s in Montana, and I lived there from around June 5th to August 15th...that was the one humid night with thunderstorms. Most common was 40s at night with clear starry skies, perfect campfire weather high in the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
