Damage In Tolland Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Looks like a warm up possible the week before Mem weekend then a cool down on the EC ensembles for that weekend. Still no real heat in sight. Some rains too over the next 2 weeks...next week could be another soaker. But this time with convection and mugginess..which folks are going to hate lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 But this time with convection and mugginess..which folks are going to hate lol I think you and I are usually on the same page for liking severe cold and snow in the winter and brutal heat and humidity in the summer...so I will welcome dews near 70F with open arms. I prefer the 100+/60 over the 90-95/75 days though, but last July was great in that 7/21 we had the latter and a day later we had the former.

Yeah you and I agree on having the seasons actually be the seasons..except that I'd prefer high dews to accompany it. 95/45 is meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what the EC ensembles show. But, a forecast for no real prolonged big heat..like days of 80+ Tippy Nape sweating heat..is what I stand by.

Last July we had the high dews with mid 90s, but we needed that trough to kick through on the next day to give us full sun and downsloping westerlies to crank it up to 100-104F. The tradeoff for that is slightly lower dews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your're calling for a high 76 and sunny for now with dews near 50..That would mean race time at 8:00am would be 55-60 and sunny FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks reasonable for now, but just remember...we are really far out..lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 No I def don't want to live in isolation like MRG does, and have no friends or neighbors or amenities close by..But there's plenty of places in Litchfield Cty that are well over 1,000 feet that are still civilized and within 10-15 minutes you can be in a hot spot with nightlife or big stores or whatever you want. I've been all over that area..and there are some prime spots. If you think living anywhere in WMA is living in isolation you haven't been anywhere remotely isolated. As for friends and neighbors there are plenty and we have a great social life. If I want "big stores and nightlife" I just head to Northampton. You have a bizarre view of life here in GC. Just because you live in the country doesn't mean you're a hermit. Yeah you don't need a sprawling metropolis, but if your idea of fun is a run down bar only accessible by snow mobile...good luck to you. You're as bad as Kevin. City boys. pfft.

wxmanmitch Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Some nice upslope rain shower action along the spine of the Taconics, Berkshires, and Green Mountains right now. If it were winter we'd be getting some nice snowfall. Quite cold out there tonight with the rain and NW winds at 44° F. Definitely doesn't feel like May. Love it!

Logan11 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Frigid at my nephews's little league game this evening. Mid 40's and some light wind whipped showers. Made me yearn for Autumn ..only 3.5 months and we are there. I'm working on some advanced planning for my fall hike weekend ..looking at maybe the White Mountains this year and expect some flakes there in late October. Yep.
