powderfreak Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 92F for a high here so far... some how the station at 1,600ft base of the ski area got up to 90.7F which I'm not sure it got that hot there at all last summer. Summit at 4,000ft is now 77F which is about as hot as it gets up there... but there is a steady 25-40mph west wind so that must feel nice. Was even a bit gusty in the ski area base throughout the day with gusts up to 35mph blowing dust in the eyes. Unfortunately Mountain Operations Center does not have AC... not many days of the year you need it up there but this was one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Have to wait to see if PWM matched or exceeded the daily record between obs. Managed a 92F reading, with 93F being the record. Now it's wait and see wrt if the rain next week will push PWM to a new monthly precip record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 93.6 for a high. dewpoint dropped nicely so it really didn't feel that bad with the breeze. I pray, oh do I pray we stay above 70 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'd fight it, but at this point its so hot out... why not go for those abnormal stats like >70 mins? Here's to Eeks favorite... *Not like I have any control over mother nature anyway, lol.

We'll need the winds to keep up overnight or some mid level clouds to move in. I think we end up in the 67-68 area by sunrise. We don't have the oppressive dews to pull it off on a clear, light wind night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the oppressive dews to pull it off on a clear, light wind night. Yeah I noticed the steady wind has gone completely calm now. This never seems to happen in the winter when I'm rooting for strong radiational cooling. Maybe I'll get that little second surge of wind that pops up around 9 to keep things toasty a little longer. Down to 83.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down to 83.8 Surface pressure gradients suck this time of year. The strong sun and deep mixing depths enable stronger winds/gusts to mix down on sunny afternoons, but once the sun goes down and we get a little radiational cooling those winds tend to shut right off.

Allenson Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Well, we managed a high of 89.1F here yesterday at this east facing, sun-is-behind-the-western-hill-by-4pm, heavily wooded, transpirationally cooled, 1.2k' elevated hollow. That's just about as warm as we seem to pull off here; or a degree shy, that is. It took a long time last night but we finally did decouple cooling off to a refreshing 65F by early this morning. Already climbing--at last look, 68F at 6:30am. I'd have to look back through my records but I'm not sure if we've seen a night where it didn't drop below 70. I was wondering last night when it was still 73 or so at 9pm. Got home from work last evening and promptly grabbed two bottles of beer and the dog and went down to the brook to sit and cool my core. Irene changed the pools along our brook quite a bit but they're stil out there to be found. Even on a hot day, that water is tough to get into being as cold as it is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 We got a short shower about 10 pm last night from that lone storm that come through VT. Only enough to briefly wet the ground. It is going to be a nice toasty morning though I will likely be chilly this afternoon. (The office goes overboard on the AC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sprawled out on the couch in a heat-induced stupor and I thought I heard some rumbles waaaay off in the distance but I may have just been delirious....

tamarack Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Had 87/56 yesterday and a low of 66 this morning, lower than anticipated considering it wasn't much under 80 late last evening. TD is 6-8F lower than this time yest, and the haze is gone. The BD must be close. Unless it goes thru here (GYX puts it right on AUG's doorstep ATM), temp ought to approach 90 again due to the high launchpad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 For EEK, just heard a loon and saw a bald eagle. Nice. At the same time? Loons will usually freak the hell out at the sight of an eagle since eagles will eat the delicious baby chicks right off the mothers back. One time when I was up at Pittsburg, some guy had a remote control plane which a loon mistook for an eagle. The poor loon through quite a fit complete with constant tremolo'ing and wing slapping the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Same time but loon was in the distance. I also saw those ducks with the spiked heads and its chicks. Hooded mergansers - fisheaters, like the loons. At 2 PM, AUG was 84/67 with near cloudless skies, while PWM was 78/55. Almost as if the BD didn't have that much TD effect here; yesterday this time AUG was 92/64, IIRC. LEW now 81/57 and BGR 78/58, so AUG must be on a small peninsula of higher dews.
