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

[Baroclinic Zone]

BDL/CEF look to have another 3-4 day heatwave this week. Starting either Wed or Thurs. Think that would be the 4th one of the hot season

Potential is there. This week looks slightly AN.

[MarkO]

Good week to be in the mountains! Hot days cool nights. This mornings low of 57 was enough for me to draw up the comforter. Off to Santa's Village.

[ski MRG]

LoL at Kevin being reduced to usin the tarmac at BDL as representative benchmark. Torch June fail. Torch Summer fail. Just comfortable, benign Summer weather. Perfect here right now.

[CoastalWx]

It will be a summery week and into the weekend. We then cool off more next week...maybe even turn a little wet during later in the week

Most of the SNE population had a heatwave, but it was about as low end as it gets. 90-92 in the summer isn't really a huge deal unless you have it for a week straight or with humid nights. This heat wave was weak sauce.

[Brian5671]

80 here at 9am. Can we hit 90 again at BDR to keep the official heatwave going? The suspense....

[powderfreak]

Well claiming the euro shows days of 90s when it doesn't at all, gets old.

And those of us who don't access the ECM in the summertime appreciate the truth.

BOS just missed it... 89F on Friday...

I would agree that from a population standpoint, most of SNE experienced 3 days of 90F+...just barely

[powderfreak]

You were warmer than here yesterday? Amazing.

We hit 81....

I was thinking that myself...it's not often that Pete in WMA is warmer than up here. Somehow it goes against logic, but his temps are usually comparable to like 2000ft in the Northern Greens. I find many days Pete's highs are lower than 1550ft at the base of the ski resort up here.

Actually I forgot BOS missed it on Friday. I suppose downtown probably made it though since Logan was 89. MHT only hit 88 on Sat so there's another heatwave failure.

It's like using BTV temps up here which are usually like 3-8F higher than what most of the state actually sees, just due to the downsloping and funneling of hot air from the south.

[Brian5671]

lot of dry ground across the continent-would think the warmth continues....

That is pretty weak sauce if spots like MHT and BOS didn't make it. Relying on the bottom of the CT Valley to verify a few days of marginal 90-92 temps seems pretty normal for this time of the year...nothing too far out of the ordinary.

NYC was in the mid to upper 90s for the past 4 days.

[CoastalWx]

Next week could be a really nice week. Lots of upper 70s to mid 80s perhaps if we can squish the front south. Otherwise, rain chances increase.

[Brian5671]

could use some rain here-been dry since last Monday AM....lawns starting to burn out....

[powderfreak]

NYC was in the mid to upper 90s for the past 4 days.

Yeah I'm not trying to diminish what's happening in the rest of the country...I know it's been 100+ in areas for days, I'm just speaking locally in New England and comparing it to the first heat wave. Up in New England we are just on the very edge of the heat dome while NYC south is in it.

yep. worst of it was never able to get up to this latitude. and that's a good thing

Almost reminds you of winter Nina. Areas south and west torched, while north and east are a bit cooler and more prone to these colder intrusions.

yeah...seems like this is the way it's going to be for a while too. it's funny because using your nina analogy, you can almost see it in the local temps too with even CT torching a bit more than the rest of the area.

LOL, that's what made me think of it.

My temps always line up well with local reporting stations. The East Slope is a cool place in many ways.

It is very similar to Nina with even BTV-ALB getting some doses of heat that never seem to make it east of the Spin...like SWFE climo with the coolest departures probably like Plymouth,NH on NE.

For whom?

It was most certainly a heat wave for a lot of locales. Others stopped at 89. I think what this really boils down to is that it was a low impact marginal situation - but that doesn't required a blanket title saying "not really a Heat Wave" - that's false.

Maybe this title was changed for some sarcastic reason and it's ha ha - okay - but it's dopey and irresponsible because anyone that comes on this board for information may not know that - because they wouldn't.

It seems what's really going on here is some degeneration awareness that is allowing "imby"ism to take things over again.

This was an interior Metro West, lower elevation heat scenario, and that includes FIT-HFD over to Framingham and Natick, where a substantive population resides. Keep that in mind.

[Tropopause_Fold]

it was meh.

You must have missed the memo. Thread titles is serious business here.

[Typhoon Tip]

Ha, yeah - seriously though - I'm not trying to be an anti-social douche that can't muse about things, but that is pretty bad there.

I was around a lot of people that hated the last 3 days because it was annoyingly hot, over 90 where they were. Me being one of them

If I may make a supposition, it may also have something to do with the expectations of the thing - pushed along by errant MET numbers. I think however that the heat was pretty clearly supposed to be mainly S of NYC all along, and if we pull the MET numbers out as hugely biases during the period, things came in according to plan.

Except 75 % of the boards populace had one day of 90 s and some none.

[N. OF PIKE]

this heat wave was meh and i'm pretty sure i saw 3 days of 90-92 weather. humidity was fine....seems like last nite was muggiest in mi casa fwiw.

dews were not 70 and heat was barely 90 in most locale's in mass that had heat wave....it is what it is. Winds were decent to making it seem even less impressive . I heard many people say "it's not that bad". it was a MEH thru and thru unless you were on your period.
