Yeah...things can change in a hurry though. The area is flirting with a ginormous positive anomaly airmass and a fraction of it is passing overhead on the back edge of this MCS, which was really warm frontal driven.

I remember June 1988 (1987?) one day when we had 64/62 rains with a warned cell or two through 2pm. It abruptly cleared and the temp/dew soared to 88/72 by 5 in just that 3 hours. We'll have to see how the thermometer houses respond over the next 2 hours.

i think MET/MOS is smoking crack.

12z ALB sounding is only 16C at 850

I lived there as a kid-lots of time in the pool...no such thing as cold water. Springs were nice-started 3/1 and never looked back--winters were tough for snow lovers. The area has alot to offer just as New England does, but different ways....alot of the neighborhood were built in more recent times allowing for neighborhood pools bike paths and playgrounds--you don't see that much around here since every thing was built up in the 60's and that stuff didnt really exist back then.

There are plenty of paths up here now, those paths don't mean much when it's 100. I guess you can always use them at 3am. Or in the winter.

I don't ever remember it being that hot--low 90's? sure. Don't remember alot of 95+ or 100 types... Alot of that. We lived in the pool I tell ya..lived there.

The NAM is pretty much relegated to CAD events and that's it. What a joke.

It had a horrible winter too...it was a joke in the last heat event we had...its in a slump. Even in the October snowstorm, it overplayed the CCB on the tail end in E MA....it really hasn't been good since winter 2010-2011.

I went for a walk on the walking path lining the Dead Sea once....was midday...probably 109-110. I'm nuts though.

I walked 18 holes in Austin, TX on my birthday in 2000...it hit 106 that day. Don't think I would ever do that now though.

I walked from the hotel to the MacDonalds last year in Balt at 106 and the friggin asphalt made my feet burn through my sneakers. I would die happy if I never have to experience heat like that again, although it was a memorable experience.

12z NAM's a solid heat wave of low to midland impact... Kind of 91-96 type deal. Today's the wild card with this MCS having muted some of the heating hours this morning, but temps are explosively responding to this clearing. May have to watch for a stray CB this morning as the cu field may temporarily get charged by wet boundary layer.

good thing is the air mass is relatively dry...so at least it's not 95/75 type of stuff. 95/60 is pretty tolerable.

Just like last week

Dewpoints are in the upper 50s to mid 60s out in NY State...there is no advection of higher dews available. The only 70F+ dewpoints you will be seeing in SNE today are those home weather stations surrounded by foliage.

The tarmac is a narrow area, It's not like dews drop 10 degrees because of a strip of tar. You'll lose this argument again.

How can I lose it again when I won last one? Where the home sensors are is what the temp/dew are in that locale. If someone is exercising or doing yard work at that locale, guess what those are the conditions they are working in. Same as if someone was working on the Tarmac they would be subject to the readings in that locale, or a cornfield in Iowa with an 80 dew. They are conditions in each area and cannot be argued that they are not
