tamarack Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 No, that is real...that airmass was just beyond ridiculous. Logan Airport obs I believe started in 1921. Lots of all time records set at that time in SNE/MA. NYC touched -15 (my dad got frostbit ears while walking to school.) Only 12/30/17 with -13 comes close - next is the -8 on 2/15/43. However, it was less dramatic in NNE - only 3rd coldest that winter at Farmington/Bridgton, with 12/30-31 (when NYC hit -6) and 1/30-31 (apparently NNE-centric) recording colder mornings than 2/8-9. Heavy frost at my place this morning. Temp bottomed out at 30 or 31, and all the moisture left over from yesterday made some pretty frost flowers on the Outback roof. I was surprised to get a frost this morning, but expect 27-28 tonight and another frost tomorrow night. I'm hoping the cooling stops north of 25, the point at/below which significant leaf and blossom kill is likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 so we'll have more frosts and days in the 50's after this? No, of course cold spells will moderater after this...but you act like it's 80+ from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 We've finally scoured all the cold out of Canada after this , so this will be it until September. Yeah, no cold air anywhere up north: NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK 549 AM AKDT MON MAY 13 2013 .DISCUSSION... UPPER AIR...CLOSED LOW NORTH OF BETTLES WILL SLIDE NORTH ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF A BROAD TROUGH COVERING ALL OF NORTHERN ALASKA. BY TUE MORNING THE LOW WILL BE NORTH OF BARTER ISLAND. THE LOW WILL CONTINUE MOVING RAPIDLY NORTH ON TUE. THE TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER NORTHERN ALASKA THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...THOUGH BY FRI IT IS PROGGED TO BE A HIGHER AMPLITUDE TROUGH WITH AXIS NORTH TO SOUTH OVER THE WEST COAST. THE MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THROUGH WED THEN THEY BEGIN TO DIVERGE. NORTH SLOPE...A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTH FROM PRUDHOE BAY TO THE BROOKS RANGE AND THE INTERIOR WILL PICK UP SPEED THIS AFTERNOON AS LOW PRESSURE STRENGTHENS TO 997 MB NORTH OF BARTER ISLAND. AS THE LOW MOVES NORTH TONIGHT...THE FRONT WILL MAKE RAPID PROGRESS EASTWARD TO MCKENZIE BAY. THE LOW WILL GENERATE STRONG WEST WINDS ALONG THE BEAUFORT SEA COAST AND ADJOINING MARINE AREAS MON NIGHT AS COLD AIR IS PULLED INTO THE AREA. WINDS WILL DIMINISH BY TUE AFTERNOON AS THE LOW PICKS UP SPEED AND MOVES NORTH AWAY FROM THE FORECAST AREA. MODELS CURRENTLY FAVOR PUTTING THE GREATEST ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW OVER THE WESTERN BEAUFORT SEA COAST...WHILE THE EASTERN BEAUFORT SEA COAST MAY HAVE THE HIGHEST WINDS. PRUDHOE BAY AND AREA COULD EASILY ACCUMULATE 10 INCHES OF SNOW BEFORE IT DIMINISHES TUE MORNING. THE EASTERN BEAUFORT SEA COAST WILL LIKELY HAVE LESS THAN 3 INCHES. THE BROOKS RANGE WILL GET 6 TO 12 INCHES WITH HEAVIEST AMOUNTS FROM HOWARD PASS EAST AND FROM THE DALTON HIGHWAY WEST. ONLY SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES ARE EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THE NORTH SLOPE ZONES. ANOTHER LOW WILL INTENSIFY NEAR WRANGEL ISLAND TUE...THEN TRACK TO NEAR CAPE LISBURNE WED AFTERNOON. WEST COAST...HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER SIBERIA WILL DRIFT SOUTH TO BE OVER THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN BERING SEA TONIGHT. THE RIDGE WILL PERSIST OVER THE EASTERN BERING SEA THROUGH TUE. THIS WILL MEAN DRY WEATHER AND DIMINISHING WINDS FOR THE WEST COAST THROUGH TUE. LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING NEAR WRANGEL ISLAND ON TUE WILL TRACK SOUTH TO BE OVER THE SOUTH CHUKCHI SEA WED NIGHT. A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL EXTEND FROM CAPE KRUSENSTERN TO NOME AND SOUTH OF SAINT LAWRENCE ISLAND LATE WED NIGHT. INTERIOR...A COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM THE BROOKS RANGE SOUTH OVER FORT YUKON TO DELTA AND TO THE ALASKA RANGE WILL STALL OVER THE SOUTHEAST INTERIOR THIS AFTERNOON...THEN DISSIPATE TUE NIGHT. THE AIR BEHIND THE FRONT IS COLD FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR AND A FEW RECORD LOWS AND RECORD LOW MAXS MAY BE RECORDED TODAY FOR THE CENTRAL TO WEST INTERIOR. BETTLES SET A RECORD LOW FOR THE DATE YESTERDAY SHORTLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT. FAIRBANKS MAY END UP WITH TWO RECORD TEMPERATURES TODAY...ONE FOR THE LOW AND ANOTHER FOR THE RECORD LOW-MAX TEMPERATURE. FOR THE EASTERN ALASKA RANGE... UPSLOPING AND MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE HEAVY SNOW...IN PARTICULAR ABOVE 2000 FEET AND WEST OF THE TOK CUTOFF. MODELS ARE FORECASTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IN THE YUKON TERRITORY OF CANADA WHICH WILL STRENGTHEN UPSLOPING ALONG THE NORTH SLOPES OF THE ALASKA RANGE.

free_man Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Cool wx is pretty much done after this; only warm, warmer or blazing hot from here through Sept. 31st.

Flying MXZ Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Snow flurries (maybe graupel - didn't look close) at 12:15 in the Catskills today. NWS forecast high lowered to 45° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Magical place . Kudos. 53.1 at 1000 feet Just hit 50F at ORH at 986ft....53F at BDL.Not hard to believe 50F at over 800ft in between those two spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Just hit 50F at ORH at 986ft....53F at BDL. Not hard to believe 50F at over 800ft in between those two spots. So Tolland had the same temp as BDL at 1pm on a cold air advection day? We'll have to keep that in mind when winter comes around and we question an obs.

This is exactly the problem here I am sick and tired of being attacked by you over what my temperature is, you seem to think that everyone elso has to have a warmer temp than you do at 1,000'. You have been doing this since April and it's getting to the point where I don't want to post here anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 This is the type of day though where local stations could go upand down quite a bit depending on cloud cover. Any breaks in the clouds could spike temps a bit locally with the strong sun angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 56 here now and only 58 for the high on the day. Impressive chill for 5/13 with a good amount of valley sun and downsloping WSWly flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to keep that in mind when winter comes around and we question an obs. lol, I did smirk when I saw it matched BDL and not ORH. But it is warm season in Tolland However this is a day with steep lapse rates so there should be a decent decrease with elevation...especially with valley sun and more cloudiness over the hills.

However this is a day with steep lapse rates so there should be a decent decrease with elevation. Right, which is why I mentioned the CAA. Usually CAA days (like today) have a well mixed atmosphere which produces our largest elevation gradient in temps. Days like today will sometimes be 7-9F colder in ORH vs BOS.

CapturedNature Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 This is the type of day though where local stations could go upand down quite a bit depending on cloud cover. Any breaks in the clouds could spike temps a bit locally with the strong sun angle. I was noticing that. There 2-3° differences between stations depending on if the sun is out with the cloud cover. 56 here now and only 58 for the high on the day. Impressive chill for 5/13 with a good amount of valley sun and downsloping WSWly flow. My digital thermometer is reading 56° off a high so far of 59°. The 56° seems more reasonable to me but who knows...I just don't trust the digital sensor. Whatever it is, temps are 15 or so degrees below normal today.

Yeah I notice it when up here its like below freezing at the summits but near 50F in the valleys, with like a 20F decrease over 3-4,000ft. You probably see even steeper boundary conditions with the downslope onto the coastal plain from ORH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
