Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm hoping we carry +40 into July and August. I'd like to see it hit 115 in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm thinking I might see some flowering tomorrow at my house. Seems like most of the forsythia's in the CT river valley are in full bloom now. I'm usually 5-7 days later but not in this heat. They should bloom just in time for the cooler weather on the weekend. This is earliest for me by 2-3 weeks..Must be for you as well. All the willow trees are fully leafed out all along 84 and 91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Earliest 80F reading yesterday in almost 130 years in Burlington, VT... beat the old record by over a week, too. Hundred year heat. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE AT BURLINGTON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN BURLINGTON REACHED 80 DEGREES. THIS IS A NEW RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR MARCH 20TH. THE PREVIOUS RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR THE DATE WAS 70 DEGREES WHICH WAS SET IN 1903. IN ADDITION...THE 80 DEGREE READING RECORDED TODAY AT BURLINGTON WAS THE EARLIEST OCCURRENCE OF 80 DEGREES IN A GIVEN CALENDAR YEAR IN THE HISTORICAL RECORD...WHICH DATES BACK TO 1883. THE PREVIOUS EARLIEST OCCURRENCE OF 80 DEGREES WAS ON 3/29/1945. IT IS ALSO ONLY THE 6TH OCCURRENCE OF AN 80 DEGREE DAY IN MARCH IN THE HISTORICAL RECORD. 70's and 80's for days and days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Already mid 60s at BOS. Should be 83-84 there I think as long as seabreeze stays put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 70's and 80's for days and days At least 130-year heat in this area... impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 pretty thick moisture plume coming up east of NJ/across LI/NYC into CT this morning. not just low clouds/fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 pretty thick moisture plume coming up east of NJ/across LI/NYC into CT this morning. not just low clouds/fog. Suns out here but with some residual fog still. Vis maybe 3/4 of a mile and rising. Temp shooting up through 54, next hour will be critical...need to burn this off or we risk beign socked in for a good part of the day. Winds seem more WSW which should help.

wxmanmitch Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thick stratus and low clouds here this morning. I expect it to burn off in the next hour or two here in the Berks, but it may take longer in CT. Actually some drizzle accompanying the fog and stratus. It was clear most of the night and didn't move in until 4-5 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 This is earliest for me by 2-3 weeks..Must be for you as well. All the willow trees are fully leafed out all along 84 and 91. It would be...my earliest is 2002 and that was on the 30th. I was surprised at the flowers on the ones along I-91 in Enfield. I'm keeping my eyes open for full-leaf out by 4/15!

Winds seem more WSW which should help. yeah N of 6 the sun is out. southern side still pretty socked in. this is all low-level garbage. could stay tucked in buzzards bay and over the Sound but should thin out decently away from the water. the stuff out west toward CT is thicker though. the little residual meso-low that was off the carolinas has kind of broken up but is sending some moisture north.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Quite a few people asking about where this March lies from a historical perspective.

Typhoon Tip Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Man, this wild card strata deck over southern zones is killing the early run up; that will parlay into lower maxes if it doesn't get out of there within the next hour. Kevin will wind up 70 tops - richly deserved, too hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 You can see it eroding from the north now..Give it an hour There are some low-mid level clouds from that low to the south. That was the one possibility of having the warmth muted a bit on guidance last week. So it's there in some form, but probably will get pushed more to the south I think after 12 or so.

Nope, Kevin gets screwed for big warmth for having such a loud mouth in the matter ...insufferably all week long, and that's final.

OKpowdah Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Another benchmark to consider is the annual maximum normal temperature... BDL ... 85.4 BOS ... 82.8 CON ... 83.1 ORH ... 79.8 PVD ... 83.3 These could easily be exceeded tomorrow, which is extraordinary ... that these highs would register above normal any day of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klw Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Is it too early to open the pool? BTV was 67 at 9:54, record max for the day is 68. I predict they will top that. Just my guess I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 My street this morning was damp from temps in the upper 50s..lol. Muggy. i went outside yesterday evening near dusk...outside of the lawn not being fully green and the trees still being basically bare...in every other way it seemed like a summer night. it was eerie. swarms of bugs, people grilling, birds chirping late into the evening. it just smelled warm outside. so strange. should make sunday feel pretty sweet.
