ski MRG Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Well the sun angle starts decreasing in less than 4 weeks. We have that going for us. Counting the days. I love bumming Warministas out by pointing that out.lol I just checked the daily highs here for the month of May. We've only hit 80+ once. The last 7 days highs: 56 58 69 72 81 78 Just not impressive as far as heat goes. Above normal? I guess. Totally unremarkable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 ..BOX has a backdoor clearing SNE and dews in the 50's tomorow. Maybe in Central NEw Eng..but there won't be much colling in SNE..and certainly not low dews like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 It was in a span of about 9-10 hours...really not that bad. Being able to drink that much alcohol does not mean you're an alcoholic, an alcoholic is someone who needs alcohol and becomes dependent on it...not even close to this. That is a tremendous amount of alcohol. Don't kid yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 64/64, just starting to rain. I'm hoping that passes to my south, but loks like I'll get into at least some light stuff. On the other hand, my sprinkler broke so this will give me a reprieve on a run to the hardware store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one problem with the p/c is that it can't take account of terrain variability in short ranges. As you know, GC has replete with Terrain changes. I think my p/c zone spans about 1300 to 600'. There's a world of difference within that temp-wise. Typically I come in short on the p/c highs and above on the lows. As such, the broad-brush of the zone typically works better (though that still gets my overnight lows cooler than they typically play out).

#NoPoles Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 that's a nice looking complex (at least on radar) in western ma area...looks like the the main energy is at the southern end of the blob...probably will effect RI and CT more than MA as it heads east... too bad it wasn't moving through later in the day... i think people throw the word torch around too freely...i don't know that torch has a standard definition anymore...someon says torch and i think, well it's at least going to be in the 80's for a few days... but i think for the first above average stretch of the season...and coming off a huge cut-off low with temps in the 50's and sheet drizzle and no sun for days on end...this is/was a nice little torch...if this were july or august it would be a different story...

If, by "people", you mean Kevin, then LOLOLOLOL. It would seem that folks can put to rest their fears that last summer's fascinating torch-talk exchanges between Blizzy and MRG would fail to reappear this year. It's better than a dead board.

Logan11 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 It's been a "humidity torch" though - even if the highs were only low/mid 80's each day here in ENY.... 74 at midnight was no picnic. I had to do outside work wall to wall both weekend days and it was repulsive with that humidity. Be that as it may, it has struggled to hit 80 here (yesterday for instance remained in the 70's). As you know I'm not a fan of the heat either but temps around 80 just don't inflict much pain. While it may be true that it is warmer than normal it certainly isn't the "torch to end all torches".The forecast highs for the Mon/Wed period have been rolled back consistently as we got closer to verification time. The end of the week looks quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I guess the vast bulk of it stayed south of here... The last thing we needed was rain anyway. Radar shows it exiting south of Albany now.
