CoastalWx Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That would be three straight mornings with convection ongoing in the morning for Ontario or Quebec. It's too bad we can't get that down this way, but the best theta-e push has been up that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 I know..but that is still impressive. I mean would you expect PWM to be 61F on March 19th with a sustained 18kt NE wind? I sure as hell wouldn't. Temps will drop along the coast shortly, but this is impressive. That's a 9F drop in the last hour there, though. A NE wind down the ME coast is technically a land breeze. I don't believe the impact of the BD on the temperature distribution is as meaningful for that location as it will be for BOS when that cuts under this environmental warmth whenever it does - The ocean is a heat sink of epic blackhole variety and will thermally suck the life out of 61F air that passes over the GOM ...then hits land. I wonder if BOS makes 42F by sunset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 NAM fail. 76F at the house right now despite variable mid level cloudiness and some cumulus popping up. Ridic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb65 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Meanwhile while the BDF lurks off the coast, it feels like June out there and leaves are popping out left and right. I fully expect at least a quarter of trees in this area to leaf out by the end of this week ASOUT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if BOS makes 42F by sunset? Well it's an 060 wind which has a marine component. I know what you mean...a NE wind at BOS is straight off the water so when that kicks in...the terminal drops like a rock, but PWM is still impressive to me.

They are starting..along with magnolias believe it or not. However, I haven't seen the normal maples or oaks show signs of leaf out. Not even close. I think this week will jump start things, but then it cools down after next weekend which will slow it down. I just don't see 25% of trees with leaves out by the 24th.

mattb65 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 any forsythia in bloom down there? That is usually the first sign. Then everything goes a couple of days later! Forsythia all bloomed on my street today and most of the daffodils. There were a couple blooming yesterday but majority today. Magnolias are all blooming now. The leaves are too small to take pictures but I can see the leaves coming out of the buds. After the 80s on Thursday there will be a lot of leaves out, enough to take pictures. These aren't just the little trees by roads and buildings also some of the really large trees are sending out their leaves today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Forsythia are blooming everywhere..MORCH Where? I have one right next to my driveway that I've been looking at every day...nothing. Maybe some buddy in the valley next to buildings and highways, but I haven't seen any in Manchester, Springfield anywhere. My apologies for the fuzzy picture, but here's how mine looks.

CoastalWx Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yup 78F at TAN. Looks like PYM tickled 77F. You might get close to, or hit 80. I find it weird that Logan is been reporting kind of low on a SW wind. Seems suspicious. Everyone else was warmer, yesterday. Logan just broke a record on an east wind. IN MARCH!

Yeah, I have a grove of maples that I planted a few years ago and yesterday I was examining them closely and I didn't see any sign of leaf out. You could tell the buds were swelling, but that's about it. I was also out in the woods pulling taps and there isn't much going on with the exception of the daffodils and other early bloomers that folks have mentioned. I think this week is going to confuse a lot of nature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BostonWX Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Really cool seabreeze front today I drove from Wollaston at 67 degrees to 70 in East Milton Square to 73 at Randolph ave/ Rt 28 and up to 79 at the Milton Canton line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These aren't just the little trees by roads and buildings also some of the really large trees are sending out their leaves today. I find that right after the forsythia the Norway Maples open their big green blooms. Norway Maples follow right after the forsythia. I don't think you will be even close to 25% leaf out after this week in Southern New England. Forsythia, magnolias, some azaleas and the Norway Maples. Everything else just buds. Then things will come to a near halt next week and progress very, very slowly unless we get another torch. I think you need days in the upper 50's to keep things moving along. Just my opinion.

Tropopause_Fold Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I can't believe Logan just broke a record with an east wind in March. it's hard to even wrap your mind around what's going on right now. you go outside, walk around...it's 70F-80F around the area...and you think "what a nice day" but then you remember that's it's mid-march. it's easier for it to snow this time of year than do what it's doing. the coastal obs from PVC to BOS up into Maine are mind-boggling. if someone showed you just the boston ob and not the date, you'd guess late June.

OceanStWx Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Pretty legit convection south of Berlin, NH now. It's got reflectivity consistent with graupel above the freezing level, so a couple lightning strikes won't be surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. The only thing that I can think of, is that there is quite a bit of subsidence that's allowing for these warm temps even at the onset of ne winds, similar to When BOS can be 90 on a se wind in July. Combine that with a warm tongue just aloft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coop's records go back to the late-50s. I reached a very brief high of 70 in Old Lyme today (2 miles inland) for the first time since Oct 14, but now quickly falling back through the 60s.
