Doldrums of weather heading into June

Yeah heat domes to the west and troughing to our northeast means heat stays west for now.

Heat is sort of spilling over the top of New England... here in NW New England its upper 70s and low 80s (with the BTV warm spot at 85F), but that warmth is also making it into NE VT and N.NH, along with the mountains of Southern Quebec where its also 78-82F type stuff.

Nice pocket of cooler low to mid 70s back across SNE... must be that debris cloudiness holding things back a bit down south.

That's usually what happens. High pressure hangs tough enough to prevent that from coming SE.

This pattern is classic. One can expect more heat in July (duh...) but the summer may try to thwart it as much as possible. I remember after the previous dead ratter of dead ratters in 2001-02, it stayed hot all summer and September into October. Mid October the hammer came down and we never looked back. May it be thy will.

October 23, 2002. My first real accumulating October snow that I've ever seen.

amazing how the strong June sun can burn away even tenacious mid level clouds. Most places in SNE ended up with a beautiful early summer day

That's a misnomer I think. I don't think the sun does much at all to burn off mid level clouds. They have been on and off all day. Mostly off here.

I think it does. How else do you explain them being thick in the morning and night and thin to blue during midday and afternoon?

What are we calling midlevels? We basically only mix up to 850 this time of year. The sun has no effect on the 700 layer.

Well things move around too. For instance it was clear and and now partly sunny since late morning. I see no evidence of them burning off. Usually that is a product of subsidence. The reason low clouds burn off, is not just top down, but bottom up. The ground heating up raises T-TD spreads and will help break it apart if it is thin enough. In the mid levels, you don't have that phenomenon.
