dendrite Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 For instance, CON's long term average is May 15 and we begin the program for Merrimack County on May 20.I understand the freeze/frost program, but does that mean the climo is based solely on just reaching 32F or is there more to it? (like 3 straight hours of below 32F, etc). Maybe I'm not explaining myself well. I'm not talking about what goes into determining when to issue advisories...just if simply reaching 32F is the criteria for a site to achieve there first/final freeze of a season.

tamarack Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 In the mank here, Not expecting much of anything except more showers Same in AUG as well as MBY. Low of near 40 and high in upper (maybe) 50s means about -7 compared to avg, which would pull May down to -0.4. Still anticipate tomorrow-Fri to bring the month to a bit on the plus side.

powderfreak Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Good day to really see the difference between west of the Spine/barrier and east of the mountains. Currently 67/64 at BTV where they've seen warmer more humid conditions, while east of the Spine, MPV and MVL are both 59/57 in the maritime tainted air.

powderfreak Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Montpelier's first 90F day on record is June 8th... so if somehow tomorrow tickles 90F, it'd be the earliest 90-reading on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Today wasn't too bad although you can feel the humidity increasing. For the most part it was low 80s east of the Spine, with mid 80s out in the Champlain Valley (and even upper 80s locally in the BTV area). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 84.3F/53.2F for the day here...already back down to 70.9F. We finally get a night with the windows open for awhile. Tomorrow should be interesting. MOS is puking out 97-99F for the S NH big 3 and 92-95F at LCI-LEB. The CON record is 39F in 1987 & 1937 so there's a good chance it gets broken. Earliest 90F+ for CON is way back in April -- 4/16/2012...although some locations tickled 90F in that infamous day on 3/31/1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Lnly reached 78 at my place, at least on the instrument next to the lilac bush. Coming back from mosquito-rich Tunk Lake country, the car thermometer was 82 in Franklin, climbing to 88 in AUG, all a bit high as official AUG topped out at 85. Back down to low 50s this morning, a common trend for early season heat - same airmass/H85s in late July and the low remains above 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 I like this from the morning AFD update from BTV. Got to love it when the pros are stumped. http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=BTV&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off AS OF 654 AM EDT FRIDAY...QUICK UPDATE TO ADD SOME LOW CHANCES FORA FEW SHOWERS/ISOLATED STORMS THIS MORNING ACROSS OUR NRN TIER OFCOUNTIES TO ACCOUNT FOR SMALL CLUSTER OF CONVECTION WHICH HASBLOSSOMED OVER THE PAST HOUR TO HOUR AND A HALF. HARD TO FIND ANYREASON AS TO WHY THIS IS OCCURRING OTHER THAN PERHAPS SOME SLIGHTCONVERGENCE AND/OR THETA-E BOUNDARY IN THE SLV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Looks like possibly the best May 31st ever is in progress. Pretty warm for 10am...already in the 80s up here. Its sort of interesting but right now there's a bunch of stations in the 700-1000ft range around Mount Mansfield that are running a tick warmer right now, with other areas in the upper 70s.

Nice high resolution. What's that formula I've heard about for estimating the days high temp? I think it was 11am temps + 10 degrees? Would give me a high of 93.

powderfreak Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Monthly precipitation for May... the Stowe spotters came in with 6.21" (Stowe Village CoCoRAHS) and 6.60" (which I believe is in Stowe Hollow/Waterbury Center line). Mansfield summit was the 9.46" I believe. Western Slope of the Bolton-Mansfield stretch of the Spine took home the Golden Swamp Award this month. In general, the northern tier of Vermont had a damp month, especially the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
