The DGEX lol-that thing is always 20 degrees too warm...must be run in Kevin's basement...

It's actually not, but since it's basically the extended NAM, it's prone to sharp swings high and low.

 

Several of the 00z Euro ensemble members shows 2m temperatures of 85+ in SNE on Tuesday, btw.

Omg, Kevin -- this year's blocking collusion of a pattern screams BD at least excuse imaginable -- don't even bother trying to argue it.   You should be assuming it's plausible to the point of happening until otherwise indicated not.  

 

And the use of DGEX is tongue in cheek you ninny ... and always has been.  It's funny because I have seen an interesting anti-correlation with the tempo of the posting, and then that model outputs an antithetical description of the synopsis seemingly on purpose.

I got my anemometer up on the roof this weekend. I've been enjoying looking at the obs. It's obviously not an ideal location in front of that big tree but it's fairly exposed to the north, east, and south. 

 

I was impressed that I was able to get a 21 mph gust out of the southeast yesterday.

 

Besides being in the much larger CT River Valley I'm at the bottom (it's immediately to my west) of a 75 foot or so hill. It's amazing how even on a westerly wind day the microclimate is such that it's really tough for that wind not to get channeled in odd directions. It's been fun to see it play out over the last few days. 

 

And I have noticed... now that the grass is growing... during the day my dew points (at 6 ft above the lawn) are starting to run high. Ugh.

Yard looks good. And yes thank you for admitting that home dews are higher than tarmacs. It must have taken a lot for you to admit that

Hes saying its correct.

Is that what the "Ugh" was for at the end of his post?

I took it as he's annoyed because he cant trust his dew as much as he'd like.

Eitherway, Ryan looks like a decent spot for acceptable wind obs except the 90 degrees occupied by that tree.

We've been telling you for years that they run artificially high

 

Are stations at the airport that have lowers dews than surrrounding PWS stations inaccurate?  KISP which is the nearest one to me runs about 3 degrees lower than the KISP analysis. My dew point at my PWS almost always runs higher. Would it be wrong to trust your own PWS? I mean, they're not tarmacs everywhere. Just something I've noted over the years and wondered.

The dewpoints at ASOS stations are considered to be more accurate to the larger scale boundary layer conditions versus a PWS that sits over florishing plant life and that also may be protected a bit from the mixing of the midday atmosphere.

 

The reading isn't "Wrong" per say on the PWS, its just not very representative of the larger scale surroundings. Its why we don't get that excited during severe weather season when a PWS has a dewpoint of 71F but all the ASOS stations within 50 miles are in in the lower 60s.
