The unofficial official absurdly warm for March thread, Part II


Typhoon Tip

It’s in the low 60’s before 9:30am and I’m in route to work, window cracked half open. The winds are brushing by my nape, so when I feel this tickling sensation near my left ear-lobe, I figured it for an errant hair. I reach up to scratch and instinctively began frantically swatting it away; I think it occurred to me faster than my conscious mind that it was a bug. I look at the window while leaning toward the middle, and it’s a hornet. Apparently my swatting motion did not get it out of the window. I crawls to the top edge of the glass. I’m taking turns watching the road, and it… When it gets to the top edge, it stops, and rotates its head around and start watching me – freak show. I pull off onto a side street and slowly reached down for a napkin that I used to cripple the thing and send it on its way.

March 19th, hornet stings. Unreal. It was a mild sting, most likely because its venom sack was probably empty because it just came out of hibernation. I don’t know how it got in the car, but it probably was yesterday driving around with the windows open. Left a small welt and a little stinging/heat sensation that’s already going away.

64F when I got to the office! 9:25am. What’s sick is that some places never decoupled last night, so their lows were 52’ish. If they make a run at 70 they could clear a 60, and with the normal range of 38 or 39 for this time of year, that’s like 21+ departure. Nice!

10am obs roll in and FIT is already 66/49 ... Notice the dewy near 50 now. BOS is 62/49 with a feeble west wind. NAM's hitting the BD air mass for eastern areas on every cycle. With the gradient so light, regardless of that the wind's gotta turn east to within 10 or even 20 miles inland during mid day, one would think. Brief stay. 12 hours, and the warmth floods back to the coast tomorrow.

My forsythia buds cracked ...last 2 days did it.

There is so much here to comment on I'm honestly not sure where to begin. I guess I'll start with nape...can we call it what it really is...a neck

Never said "no" to 80s... just said I wouldn't forecast them 4-7 days out without seeing a nice westerly BL flow.

I don't have time to go and find all the posts..but you and several other well respected mets on here told me I was crazy,,that I was hyping..that we'd never see 80+ on any day of this week. I called for 85-88 from the middle of last week for Wed/Thursday this week and was barraged with posts about me not knowing climo, southerly flow, no west winds..high pressure overhead this time of year limits mixing...I could go on and on.

We all recall the posts..

most sophistimocated literary forms will use NAPE, because it is more powerfully descriptive and covers the experience more whollistically then just neck.

Phil = dork.

62 here at 10:20am which is really 9:20 am. While I am no BDR, it will be a possibility here if the wind doesn't shift.

lol it's really not a possibility. Winds are basically calm with little pressure gradient. You're going to get to a point where you warm up enough and you'll blow a sea breeze right on through.

You are so full of it. Nobody ever said 80 was impossible. We all targeted Wednesday or Thursday as the best chance. Borderline lies coming from you.

Ryan's usually right on the money with most events, but this one he will bust low on especially along the shoreline...oh well it happens.

I had 63 for BDR today. It will probably bust a bit low because there wasn't nealry as much low clouds/fog as I expected. Sea breeze will cap things at 70 max.
