CoastalWx Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Lol. Well, we raised 12 of the 100. I'll slit their necks. Once they've drained they get brought to the plucker. After plucking, they'll be gutted and wrapped (either whole or parts). We'll freeze them and eat them over the course of the next several months. Nice. A roast chicken is awesome during the fall or winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Wow, looking at the polar-stereographic overview over at PSU E-wall for the 00z GFS/ECM D8-10 means shows a whopper -AO with very stable pentagonal R-Wave configuration. Whenever you get a 4/5 wave count around the hemisphere that is considered among the more stable there is; both ECM and GFS means essentially agree, too... What that would suggest is that in the dailies ... we may recoup some heat based on translating systems but any prolonged heat is not likely... The -AO is suppressing the westerlies in latitude somewhat anomalously, and the pentagonal configuration of L/W and L/R around the hemisphere is in no hurry to break it down. Of course... the means tonight could be entirely different - but that's another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Love to see Kev waffle more than a Waffle House. Its similar to 2009 when he kept calling for the huge torches in the day 7-10 time frame and they never materialized. The old faux heat waves. Now he is reduced to saying "we will get some transient warm spells" and calling those torches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly doesn;t feel uncomfortable... maybe my dog has been panting near my gauge Most of the mesonets will tend to report dewpoints higher than ASOS stations because of their proximity to denser foliage. ASOS stations are out in open areas. Its tough to get good readings from mesonet sites in the summer because of this and also the sun angle being higher will affect those sites without a solar shield or a sub-par solar shield. Winter time tends to produce much more accurate readings on those sites. That doesn't mean they aren't useful in the summer time though...just have to be aware of potential biases in the readings.

Interesting, those of us who live surrounded by forest know the effects of dampness from foliage. Just got through power washing the house, sheds, sidewalks. Non sun areas on the forest sides get green from wetness. So those mesonets high DPs reflect my reality ASOS reflect non rural reality more. Localized influences much more obvious in deep summer or deep winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Final June departures will be interesting. BOS is a lock for below average, and I think PVD will squeak below average too (though it will be close). ORH should be a bit above average and BDL slightly more than that. I'm guessing the final numbers will be something like: BOS: -1.0 PVD: -0.1 ORH: +0.2 BDL: +0.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...some of those rural higher DPs are very real. It's a similar deal for my station...especially when wind are light and I don't receive much mixing. It's not as extreme as the dewpoint pooling over the cornfields in the upper Mississippi Valley, but they're legitimately higher than urban areas nonetheless.
