It's always tough to tell with a still image, but it also has some interesting characteristics near the base of the actual CB. But if you saw no rotation, it probably is scud I suppose.

What causes scud? We were watching a neat thunder/rainstorm Monday, amd saw some def.scud that my son at first thought was a funnel. Is it frictional forces?

Scud is just rising air condensing into cloud filaments. You can have scud clouds around a meso, but in that case you obviously have a rotating updraft.

Northern New England is absolutely beautiful! Specifically, Vermont and Franconia Notch. We did the Ben & Jerry's Factory yesterday, and Wildcat Mountain, The Flume Gorge and Lost River Gorge & Boulder Caves today.

I want to live up here someday.

Ok, carry on...

It is and is even better covered in chest deep snow!

For my money, I'd take Crawford Notch as most amazing view in NNE.

Eh, I think people overrate SSTs to be honest. We always hear about that. Everyone said that after summer 2010, and I had one of the best winters ever.

getting out of my swim lane here speculating on future weather, but from my experience living right on the water, LL is correct. elevateed SSTs keep our dews up well into sept if the wind is onshore at all affecting our overnight lows. this has been evident the past few days with dews down here in the upper 60's. there are many days in sept i agonize over putting the AC on because its not that warm, but i want to keep the moisture out of the house.

Bye bye homeland till the holidays.. disappearing into the hazy mid atlantic cesspool of heat

Have a good season, Jay. Looking foward to hearing about some good wins. Hopefully, there'll be a game or two that gets covered up this way.

I love Flume Gorge. I'd love to get there during spring melt to see how fast that thing runs!

If we have continuous SW winds, then the warmth and humidity is simply due to the pattern. I mean maybe it helps it out a couple of degrees, but it's not GOM air coming in.

Scooter going to pull it out...congratulations

Congrats scooter...way to drive the bus and take ll to school

Ouch timmy boy, looks like another Failure for you:( Not only did I pick the exact number for BOS, but was less than a degree off for all three sites in the yearly temp forecast for July. Another win, another day ho hum. Enjoy the next 4 days down in the smog pit of Edison, looks like low to mid 90s and humid, ewr orange and surrounding areas should smell delightful:)

Have a great day.

Well to be fair you said +2 or better. That's a large range. I had 1.3-1.9 so I'm pretty happy for that range. Someone can do the math to see what the deal is. BOX can mess up too with that.

I have +2 exactly in the contest thread. Go look for yourself made that call back in June, another victory second or third this year. BOX could have certainly made an error, I could care less its all too funny LOL

I am sure they screwed up the math anyways..............everyone seemed to think it was 1.8 or 1.9, congrats!
