CoastalWx Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 We always assume the valley readings are a few degrees too low for reasons we've discussed ad nauseum on here. Most home stations currently have 62-66 degree readings which is realistic..given the wet conditions of late You realize TDs actually fall with elevation right?

Gotta paint some thing outside so it's good for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Yeah if you're in the mtns where Freak is or the Whites.. No I mean in general, dewpoints drop as you move up in elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 As expected and forecast this prediction was a HUGE failure here. 0.00 inches of rain during daylight hours here, nothing but brilliant blue sunshine all weekend...........sorry:( Maybe yesterday. Saturday featured a huge downpour with a good inch of rain around 11am. Granted the rest of the day was rainfree and sunny. Yesterday was awesome.

dendrite Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 If we're going to use home stations to judge humidity then we need to shift the oppressiveness scale higher since it was based off of airport obs. Therefore 75 is oppressive, 65 is a bit humid, and 55 is comfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Low 60s, but it feels a hell of a lot better. I do think we'll see some relief next week. The long range is changing a bit. The 570 thickness contour which has been a permanent fixture struggles to get here. So while it may be a little above normal in the 11-15 day, the back is slowly cracking on this. it should be by then, it will almost be September. The big Euro cooldown advertised last week is a failure, so I would not get too excited about another advertised cooldown in the day 10+ range...

Therefore 75 is oppressive, 65 is a bit humid, and 55 is comfy. Exactly. If we use home stations then truly oppressive days have dew points flirting with 80. Regardless of siting we use the ASOS readings for a reason... they're a benchmark and easily comparable. I think this is the dumbest conversation we've ever had in this subforum and we've had some really dumb ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropopause_Fold Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 ever since the pattern flipped in the second half of july from the dry / continental heat to the milder/muggy stuff we've really started to benefit in the rainfall department...at least down this way. nice change...could do without the humidity but nice to see things greening up.

The big Euro cooldown advertised last week is a failure, so I would not get too excited about another advertised cooldown in the day 10+ range... A day 8-10 euro op cool down or any cool down for the matter should be taken with a grain of salt if the ensembles are meh about it...which they were. At least this time around, the hemispheric pattern is changing. Sure it might not be pure Canadian air here, but it probably will be a break from this swamp of recently. September can still be very warm and humid so it doesn't always mean we cool because we head into late August. I can't wait to rid this puke airmass. If I wanted to live in A/C, I would move to FL.

There have been some really weird debates on this forum.....americanwx in general. I tried to tell a member in the climate change forum yesterday that just because you have snowcover...it does not mean your temp will be 20F lower given the same airmass without snow cover. The same people who don't understand how the atmosphere works, love to try and tell you how they think it works..lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropopause_Fold Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 dewpoints finally back into the 60s here. damp air FTL. one of my window A/C units had mildew growing in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those pinning all there hopes for high dews on getting an EF3 in their neighborhood....good luck to that..lol. I'll take the odds on that and rather have more comfortable air.
