It Really Was a Heat Wave II (unless it wasn't, in which case it was weak sauce)- - Obs and Disco Late June/Early July 2012

can't believe MET had 100F at BOS as recent as yesterday

I think it had 94 for ORH, lol...what an epic fail.

As we blister away in the heat this weekend I was thinking back to the Oct snowstorm. While we've proven winters following Oct snowstorms tend to blow, I was thinking how lucky I was to have snow OTG for my bday which I spent alone in a powerless house being able to see my breath. Man what a great memory that whole experience is. Can't wait to share with my grand kids someday.

It just goes nuts on everything.

it would have failed regardless-but the rains/clouds this am put it to rest--surprised BOX still went with 95 in BOS-ridiculous

Yeah its been overdoing the heat all summer so nobody really actually forecasted what it showed...but going below other guidance too today just makes that MET output look that much more ridiculous.

[Cold Miser]

This is just a total meltdown for New England at 2pm in the summer....not sure how people will survive the life threatening heat here.

lol!

We need some kind of podcast or youtube vid. with Kev and Scott going at it. Topic can be snow ... Temps ... Dew temps. Whatever the topic, it will be a certified win.

[ski MRG]

Pretty pathetic if this is the worst of this so called torch. Breezy and totally manageable here. Wow. What a let down.

Here is another shot of the hail I had last Friday. Look at that one huge piece and the weird shape. Does that typically happen with big hail? Anyone know?

My job is to inject sanity and science.

yeah if you put two icecubes next to each other and squeeze them together...sometimes it looks like that.

It tends to happen when you break larger ice cubes out of the ice cube tray in the freezer.

They refer to it as oblong hail. That's what I took a pic of down in Duxbury back on Memorial weekend 2009. It was 2" and was in the ground about 30 min prior to when I got there.

[CoastalWx]

LOL.

LOL, Phil beat me to it.

I picked it off the deck about 10 mins after the Hail stopped. How big does that look like? Most of it was quarter sized and smaller but there were a few stones that big

yeah i mean if you use the screwdriver at the proper angle when you hit the cube, it breaks just like that.

Mets never troll. They are all about the science

Really big hailstones get all spikey.

[ORH_wxman]

Crazy they are going to break a bunch of monthly records down in the Mid-Atlantic for June hi temp. That airmass is sickening.

The heat up here today is a big fail...but down there they are going for some serious records.

Ive never had hail that large here so I was surprised to see it that shape. I've seen pics of the baseball sized stuff and that us jagged I guess

[CoastalWx]

Fat fingers.

[RIcoastalWX]

Spectacular day! Sunny and breezy... the beaches are PACKED! Actually surprised at just how much beach traffic there was headed into town - seemed more like a weekend day.

78/67 with a good SSE breeze....

Harvey L had KFIt showing 98F last night, but said it was a model that he didn't believe.

The clouds this morning did not help

The hail I saw was elongated like in an oval shape. It was practically the length of my fingers. About 2" long 1.5" or so wide and maybe 0.75" thick.

I think we all know what model that was.

[Damage In Tolland]

Only 92 at BDL..95 should do it sadly

[Baroclinic Zone]

85/70 HI up to ~90F. DP has dropped 2F this past hour.

86/68 another 2F drop in DP. Gonna be tough to hit 90F.
