free_man Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Humidity is great if it means strong storms or severe, but that's a rarity. 90/55 is perfect, with cool nights near 60-65. I'd take that 365 days/year. Also, if you are perhaps carrying some extra pounds, the heat can be excessive. I know that from experience. But if you embrace it, working or working out in 80/70 or whatever is actually a "gain". No different than training in mountain elevations. Bring on the highest temps, most thick and heavy dews imaginable, 88/80 if necessary, as long as it's not 60/56 and clouds/drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 TBH I don't know where that came from. We live in a temperate climate with 4 seasons. Lets just maximize each season to their fullest. Most folks are the same Some people want absolute darkness and cold year-round. I don't know what it is, but respect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 All of the state, actually. 75 mph wind gust in Hartford at WTIC and 59 mph in Bridgeport. Widespread tree damage from SW CT to NE CT.Racking my Brain thinking back. I just don't recall it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Scooter... if Boris is working tonight ask him if he remembers the July 1991 bow echo/windstorm in CT. It was the most widepread power outage in state history from a convective event and I can find virtually no information on it beside what is in storm data.was it the 7th-8th end of this http://www.spc.noaa.gov/misc/AbtDerechos/casepages/jul7-81991page.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 It sounds like a derecho It was actually 2-3 separate squall lines... but there was one that moved from Pennsylvania into S CT that would classify as a derecho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most folks are the same I'm not gonna put words in your mouth, but when I first moved from WWBB to Eastern (about the time a lot of us did, like 05-06ish), I distinctly remember laughing over the battles you used to have with folks like Will or Ryan over summer heat. Maybe it doesn't mean you didn't like it, but you were always bashing the heat forecasts for like BDL. That's when we used to get into arguments about magical lapse rates and stuff as you'd be 82F when BDL is 90F. You posted your temps in Tolland a lot more than you do now and loved how much cooler it was on the hill, and I never remember the dew fetish except in the last like 3 summers. I know Will remembers that stuff as he has said before. I could've sworn you were MRG-like cold and snowy year-round when we moved to EUSWX. I wish those archives were still around from early Eastern. One summer thread would clear it up quickly. But we all change...I've developed a low dew heat and diurnal temp change fetish in the last year or two lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 NAM has 2 active weather days tomorrow and especially Tuesday. Both have potential to reach eastern areas (though probably not south coast?). Shear is quite strong on Tuesday with good jet dynamics so if we can destabilize and the front/low dews doesn't push in it's something to watch. With winds parallel to the quasi-stationary front we could have some flooding issues too with saturated grounds and small rivers still running quite high.

CoastalWx Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 It's hard to compare the euro sometimes because it's tough to get the data for free like we get with the GFS and NAM, but euro has been decent I think.

powderfreak Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 74/64 clear skies Frigid weekend. Incredible father s day lol I don't think any weather is frigid this time of year no matter what the temp. With that said...been an impressive streak of below normal non-torchy weather in Vermont. Outside of the Champlain Valley, interior VT climate sites have not had an above normal day in 14 days! The 1st and 2nd of June were above normal and then it hasn't even really been a contest since then. BTV has had 2 above normal days in the past two weeks, while MPV, MVL, and 1V4 have had zero. Hasn't even really come close to hitting 80 in weeks (my highest has been 75F) and sites are running -1 to -3. Here is Saint Johnsbury, VT (1V4) which is one of the longest running climate sites in the state and they are at -2.9 on the month. Lots of negatives on that F6 and that doesn't include today which also came in below average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah always a fetish for storms but we all have that on here. I can totally see where he is coming from though as he just wants it to be exciting. That's likely where the dew fetish comes from as there is something about those humid summer nights where it just will not cool off and you can hear the distant rumbles of thunder...knowing that a big one is going to roll through. Those summer memories are almost palpable to me...almost start sweating just thinking about it, lol. I'm all for heat and humidity if it means storms.

Today was below average despite how nice it was. Below average this time of the year can be very nice. BDR has also joined ORH and BDL in below average for the month of June so far. Not bad for "not even close" for any of the SNE stations being below average through mid-month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
