Allenson Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Stubborn low level 'marine layer' in place this morning keeping things cooler. I've no problem with this, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 We want camping/canoeing there a few times. Hell of a drive from here. Beautiful area but I felt like I needed a weapon on me due to Wildlife. After 35+ years wandering thru the Maine woods as a forester, I can honestly say that there was only one time when wildlife gave me a real scare. This doesn't include the recent tick/Lyme influx nor close calls when I'm driving, neither of which could be solved by firearms or pepper spray. The one instance was during the moose rut early one October, when a large nearsighted bull heard me walking and thought I might be the cow of his dreams. He came straight toward me, grunting, and when he got within about 20 yards I commenced to hollar and throw sticks around. Took him 3-4 minutes of showing me his (very large) antlers before he got the idea and went elsewhere. Sun is just coming thru cloud breaks here in AUG, similar to Saturday when the clouds broke at noon IMBY. This morning was the 14th of 18 days this month with lows in the 40s, along with three at 39 and last Wednesday's rainy 57. The month is averaging 65/45, and -3.6 thru 6/17. Even with Wed-Thurs running +10 to +15, we'll probably remain below my avg for June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Not looking forward to the next few days from a recreation standpoint. I hate when it gets too hot to hike or enjoy outdoor activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Late recovery from the low clouds, but we managed 65F and a sunny late afternoon. We're up to 75F today...stayed near 60F for quite a while this morning with low overcast, but as soon as the sun came out we jumped quickly. I can't imagine what another 15-20 degrees will feel like... haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Late recovery from the low clouds, but we managed 65F and a sunny late afternoon. They burned off here by mid-afternoon yesterday. Climbed to a high of 69 thereafter--a full ten degrees +\- lower than forecasted. Low clouds back in fairly thick this morning. We'll see how long it takes today for them to burn off...

eekuasepinniW Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I love hunting down oddly placed hotspots. Gonna be warm in the woods around Barnstead. Wednesday: Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 101. Heat index values as high as 104. West wind between 5 and 10 mph. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=gyx&FcstType=text&zmx=1&zmy=1&map.x=138&map.y=222&site=GYX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Sun popping thru small holes in the (thinning) cloud deck here in AUG. This makes three half-and-half days in the past 4, with the breakup close to noon each time. GYX has the foothills with low 90s tomorrow, but appears to put us near/under the BD Thursday with mid 80s. Each gfs run has been getting wetter for days 3-8, had nearly 2" for that period for 06z.

tamarack Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 "Each gfs run has been getting wetter for days 3-8, had nearly 2" for that period for 06z." The trend continues for 12z, with 2"+ progged in 24 hr next Mon-Tues for PWM north thru WVL. 1st half of that is mostly convective, 2nd half stratiform. Not to be believed that far out, but I would not mind getting about half that much. PC with hazy sun since shortly past noon in AUG, temp just over 70.

I keep seeing these qpf numbers on the models, It also looks like cooler temps finishing off the month of June heading into July, We could use some rain but don't really need to see 2"+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Clouds filled back in about 3 PM in AUG, still about 70 with S winds, TD up to around 60. Dews probably closer to 70 tomorrow this time. Since it's a short torch, I'll forego the AC (cuts down on natural air movement) and rely on the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I posted this in the Winter thread, but figured some folks from the NNE thread may find this interesting. This is how the Law of Averages and Climo come back to bite you in the ssa. BTV's snowfall records date back to 1884. The average since then is 73.3". Meanwhile, the 30-year average since 1981 is 81.2" (a full 10" higher than the long term average). Its no secret that from 2000 onward, we have been in a snowfall surplus, but at BTV it has been borderline ridiculous in the 5 years prior to last winter. In the 5 winters prior to last winter, starting with the 2006-2007 snow season, BTV averaged a whopping 106.2". The only other 5-winter period to top that average is the stretch from 1968-1969 to 1972-1973, which averaged 109.0". With that sort of surplus over climo, you knew a clunker winter was bound to happen, and last season's 37.7" was the 3rd lowest total in history. It is amazing how Mother Nature tries to even things out... Also, its a little ironic how the 3rd snowiest winter on record is followed by the 3rd least snowiest winter on record.

Yeah not good... started the day with a dew of 51F and have hit 66F now. Currently 77/66 and it just has that feel to the air that there will be very little cooling tonight. We're probably going to be lucky to get mid 60s here where we seem to radiate decently between the mountains. BTV probably not going below 70F with a persistent channeling south wind up the Champlain Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 GYX trimming back the heat a bit at mi casa ... 95, 93, 88 as opposed to the 100, 95, 90 this time yesterday. Starting off the day at 64F. PWM daily record is 93F, which is also the forecast high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yep, starting the day off warm & muggy here too--63F with some fog. It's on boys and girls. Stay cool, stay hydrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 My guess of 87 this morning (on the Heat Wave obs thread) still looks reasonable for MBY, though AUG has reached 92. They twice got to 94 in 2010 while my top that year was 88 (about 5 times.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Peaked at 92F this afternoon. Dews slipped into the low to mid 60s so it isn't too bad out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
