Snow Bow Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Yeah that's part of it. Kevin's house is surrounded by trees and a lush lawn (albeit filled with toxic chemicals). The extra evapotranspiration could add 2-4F on your dew point readings. Plus the heavy heavy watering that has been going on in preparation for the conference.

mattmfm Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 84/66 here perfect, winds tomorrow keep the Ocean State naturally air conditioned. Yup looks like we still keep SW winds tomorrow. Until we back into the west on Friday going to be difficult to really bump temps up much here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Yup looks like we still keep SW winds tomorrow.

mattmfm Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 well it's all relative. we just had this discussion a few days ago on here. i think the readings are probably fairly close to reality for a backyard - but they aren't reality when compared to ASOS placement. It's comparable to putting a weather station a foot from the backyard grill Not exactly beneficial to statistical purposes. DPs are in the mid 60s across SNE, pretty comfortable actually.

Mr Torchey Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 But you'll have dews in the 70s instead. I was going to ask you that Scooter, dews were awful this morning, around 65 66 when I got home for lunch and all the way down to 62 when I got home from work, all on a due south wind, seems backwards to me?

mattmfm Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 But you'll have dews in the 70s instead. Mhmm, looks like we'll probably have a DP of 72/73 tomorrow...though that's not exactly record breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 NWS seems unimpressed with tomorrow's heat/humidity. Heat advisories for most of SNE. Meh. Happens once or twice per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will come up. I actually think Friday might not have much in the way of high dews away from the south coast. Just hot temps. I could see many areas near 100/60.

CoastalWx Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Depends on wind direction tomorrow. Screaming wind from 220 might keep BOS at 94-95 or something. 230 or better and it's maybe mid to upper 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmfm Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 NWS seems unimpressed with tomorrow's heat/humidity. Heat advisories for most of SNE. Meh. Happens once or twice per year. It looks like DPs drop off inland with a bit of downsloping, and towards the coast temperatures will be muted by onshore flow. Going to be tough to get a HI above 105. Seems like a pretty normal extended heat to me north of NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be tough to get a HI above 105. Seems like a pretty normal extended heat to me north of NYC. The one thing that may be of note is Friday could really bake the beaches. I could see 100 even down to the coast. With full sun and +23C a northwest gusty wind will bake the river valleys too... that would be how BDL breaks their all time record. That said 103/60 is definitely hot... but not something that we'll be talking about years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Yeah I was just going to comment on that and how Kevin will be psyched to learn that this is meh as an event according to NWS. it will be interesting to see how this airmass advects in to the region. i think ryan's 101/58 idea at BDL is certainly a possibility - the GFS soundings for BOS by the end of Friday are like 35/13C. LOL. but that said upstream dewpoints are pretty ridiculous as we've all noted. i know we'll add a component of drying from aloft and such, but do wonder if Tds will be a bit higher than modeled on friday...might we see them tick upward over the next 24 hours?

HI's don't really get excessive without dew points well into the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Latest ZFP is calling for a heatwave in GC. Thur: low 90's Frid: low 90's Sat: Near 90. I'm not hanging my hat on it, but it's possible.

Ginx snewx Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 If winds are gusty tomorrow the DP is irrelevant, nothing worse than high dews and no air movement. Anyone with a SW ocean exposure will have a fresh breeze off a cool ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 You know you're desperate when you are happy to see 850 temps drop from 22C to 17C by late Saturday afternoon. Yeah Friday will be our day to heat up. But even 101/68 here would only be a HI of 107. HI's don't really get excessive without dew points well into the 70s.

When I lifeguarded at Misquamicut way back in 74 we had a similar day, lots of flying umbrella injuries and sand in eye stuff. The chop will be nasty, could be more deaths from umbrella injuries than Kevs heat deaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I was in Maine the last few days w/o internet so I don't know what the hype is down here but they keep running the heat as the main story on the news lol. Its kind of funny really. Yes it will be hot but people make such a big deal out of it. 87/68 here today. At least ORH can finally make 90. 100 will be tough for even BDL it looks like.

CT Rain Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I think it's conceivable someone gets to 102 or 103 but that will be done with a ripping westerly, downsloping, dew point destroying wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
