CoastalWx Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'm anxious to hear where Ryan has his. Sounds like he's got it in a wide open field behind his house. There are plenty of those in West Hartford. Maybe even post a pic or two so others can learn how to properly situate/place theirs. Probably on a fence post or in the yard. Or on top of Wiz's discarded 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 I had mine on the north side of my railing..away from any objects that might interfere with it, but it still probably wasn't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 http://www.weatherimages.org/data/heatindex.html Right now, the NAM MOS has 100/ 65 = HI of 106F for FIT. These kind of numbers are everywhere for Wednesday. More over, the GFS came in with 97/ 66 for that same location, up some 7 over prior run.

Allenson Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 This: but i have a hill to my west shades me from about 3 or 4pm on so I never get as high as some other areas. And this: My thermometer is on the shady side of a house surrounded by trees. Thus the 2F discrepancy is due to transpirational cooling when the leaves are green. Are why I consistently have relatively cool summer temps compred to many other locales. In the seven years that I've lived there, the highest temp I've ever recorded was 90 and was only on three occasions (twice last year--7/21 & 7/22). There's a 50 acre or so hay field right next to us that can get blazing hot during the middle of the day but as soon as you go into the cool shady woods, the *apparent* temp drops markedly. I don't really have much else in the way of options for siting the thermometer. I'm not putting it on the chimney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Bring on that sweet, sweet heat...mid 90s all the way to the shoreline. Won't exactly get to enjoy it as I will be working, and probably outside. viva la sizzle mid week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 And no surprise the Euro is quite a bit cooler than the NAM for Wednesday. Thursday is going to be the hotter day I think but less humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropopause_Fold Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Nice nor'easter for Tuesday? yeah sure, why not? lol. does look to cool off fairly substantially after fri / sat. massive heat dome over the heartland with nice cool trough in the NE.

Tropopause_Fold Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 it's interesting that the Euro is basically bone dry when everything else has at least some precip accompanying the front. the gfs is actually quite active with the front along the CP friday PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's boosting instability and pops I think. I could see high dews on Friday if winds are SW, but the GFS looks a little too aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman21 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Speaking of coops, I wonder why more of them don't have real-time reporting sensors in their shelters? They don't really have that ability. We're lucky if they reset at midnight/1am instead of 12z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Nice MET numbers for S NH, but they're probably a couple degrees too high... ASH 102 MHT 101 CON 100 LCI 97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Thursday may be a 98/58 day. Yeah agreed. I'm forecasting 98 and "less humid". I think we'll see U50s for dews during max heating lol. I think GFS may be overdone with convection for Friday but we'll have to see if the front slows down some. GFS bumps up dews on the coast and generates some instability. Could be a day for some convection if we can actually get dews back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro probably is closer to reality with maybe some sct stuff, unless the front slows a little more which is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
