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

Pretty consistent...the meso sites here in east/central NY are running 55-59 with dew points. I thought your DP's had dropped off in SNE last night.

They did. Except Kevin's which stayed in the mid 60s...mine dropped to like 44F. Currently 54F.

chris what you weighing in at

205. I suppose I'll start to cut sometime this summer but it's just too much fun. I'm also getting ankle surgery and won't be able to walk for 6 weeks at the end of July, so I'm trying to put up as much mass as possible before then as I'm sure I'll lose a decent amt.

FTL.

Best of luck to BDL today, you can do it!

Fail.

Their low temp got too cold anyway. They really needed like a 100/70 day...dropping to 66 made today impossible...but even if their low was 70F, this high temp performance is a total bust.

This is no heat wave... and doesn't come close to what we had a couple weeks ago. Not even close.

Currently 82/50 with a high so far of 83.7F on the home station. MVL hit 84F, so that makes sense.

Plattsburgh, NY (KPBG) is currently 89/48F for a RH of 24%. That's about as dry as it gets in the east at 24% this time of year. However, they are seeing gusty west winds and they downslope off the Adirondacks in that situation, which is likely helping them dry out through compression.

BTV is also running a ~40F temp/dewpoint spread... some dry heat.

I'll state the obvious but it IS a heat depending on where you are. FIT's 90 and will be that or above tomorrow, and that's 3 days worth. Same here in Ayer, and down through metro-west locales such as Framingham.

Obviously not up the hills, but when does anyone over a 1200 feet cash in on heat? not too often.

15C at 850 on the 12z ALB sounding is a big fail for high end heat in SNE.

You really need a minimum of 19.5C, no cloud contamination, and offshore wind: 3 member checklist. Anyone fails, ignore the scenario because your wasting your time. We just don't get those uber tall boundary layers around here. I have seen 99 out of 18.5 or so, and I have seen 97 out of 23! because of cloud contamination. That happened in ...I think it was 2004... We had a slab of turbo air but a cluster of high cloud/MCS debris came over between 11am and 1, just perfect wrong timed.

John this is much different at least in this northern local than the heat wave two weeks prior. I'm not going to argue "heat wave" per se because that's pretty cut and dry by location (90+). However, I'm at the bottom of a valley (albeit at 800ft, surrounded by two separate 3,000-4000ft ridgelines) and we had two >90F days during that heat a couple weeks ago. So far we've had 89F and today's 84F was only brief (all day has been around 82F).

BTV hit 90F again today after 92F yesterday, but tomorrow's forecast high is only 82F so they'll avoid a heat wave. They had 3 solid days of mid 90s during that last spell, maxing out at 97F.

So up in NNE this is not a heat wave, even for those areas more prone to it... that's all I was saying. I know this is SNE-centric thread so I should've specified. But its not like we don't get heat waves up here (at least BTV seems them just about as regularly as SNE or at least it seems).

Duanesburg meso station is at 80/59 now.

I see KALB is 89. I don't venture into the valley during this kind of wx.

BTW..abandoning Stowe for one year anyway... going to Lincoln, NH, at the west end of the Kancamagus Highway for our hike weekend Oct 26-29. Lots of new peaks for the hikers. We kinda covered them all around Stowe. But a few years pass and new people etc...we rotate and will probably return to Stowe.

Nice! There are a lot of sweet hikes over there. I definitely think the Adirondacks and Whites have more hiking options and the mountains are definitely a bit more impressive all clumped together into high peaks unlike the Greens which are more a series of peaks spread from north to south across the state. The big advantage here is snowfall but I won't get into that ;)

Wills posts have gotten as creepy as Snownh. It's like he sat inside all day on a beautiful hot summer weekend day and decided to troll me multiple times in multiple threads

Lol...so its okay for you to indirectly call me out in multiple threads in a passive-aggressive manner over the past couple weeks and then when I reference your crazy posts a few times its all of the sudden creepy? Says the man who talks to people about TP stuck to their azz when it gets hot out. :lol:

You've gotten real nasty the last few weeks dude. WTF?

Must be having one of those days... or the heat isn't living up to the hype ;)

Mount Carmel, IL with 104/55 for 20% RH.

The saving grace out there is the low dews. Man if they were all like 104/75...

Nashville International Airport with an impressive 106/54 for 18% humidity and a 105 heat index.

Meanwhile nearby, Pine Bluff, TN is 98/70 with the same 105 heat index.

I think I'd take the 106/54 over 98/70 even if they both have the same heat index.

Another perfect beach day, even had a mid level cloud deck roll in around 430 to cool our burning skin, was la epic.

High of 92 today.........I dont consider this a heat wave at all just typical summer weather, and oh boy oh boy was it sweet!!
