We appear to near the threshold into a new pattern - good opportunity to start a new forecast/banter

[Roger]

currently 90.6 / 73.3 The heat index is currently 99.8 down from 101 earlier this pm.

[Typhoon Tip]

I don't know how KBOS knows when I really want to see the obs and always picks that hour to delay them...

 

How do they do that --

[ORH_wxman]

 

ORH 86F. Will they hit 90 today or tomorrow?

 

Today might be tough, they got up to 87F for a high but have fallen back to 85F at 18z. I actually thought today had a better shot than tomorrow for 90F at ORH because there might be more clouds tomorrow.

How much higher is the temp usually in the city of Worcester than at the airport ? I'm guessing 5-6 degrees

[free_man]

88.7F

[Tropopause_Fold]

GHG with a HI of 101F. not bad. nothing unheard of but definitely hhh

[joey2002]

85/74 now at GON.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

That's awful! You will have no argument from me if you keep that skank down there.

I'm not sure Kevin's humidity fetish would be so easily aroused if he didn't have air conditioning.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Just hit 90F here. DP is 66 imby but lots of lower 70's on the local wunderground stations.

Or had to work outside... lol

[Tropopause_Fold]

dews across LI and then from about HVN to the Cape are horrible. 70-74F

Mine hit 75 earlier

[Tropopause_Fold]

some poor town someplace probably in NYS or VT is going to get a ton of rain in the next 10 days. 

 

maybe also ends up E MA FTW? keeping the worst of the weather to the west and most sun out east? 

[Tropopause_Fold]

Mine hit 75 earlier

nah

No, its not normally that much difference...that would be a Tolland-esque lapse rate for 400-500 feet and 6F difference. Its usually about 2-3F..sometimes 4F if we have really deep mixing...though of course if you are measuring in an area with a ton of blacktop, then you will get an artificially high reading.

Why does Tolland Co. have an Air Quality Alert, but the rest of CT (with the exception of New London) doesn't?

Localized damage possible.

[Snow Bow]

There's been a nice breeze here all day. Today feels much more tolerable than yesterday did here. Actually enjoying it, but dreading to see what the temp in the house is. Gotta be upper 80's.

Actually just checked CON and they have a dew of 62 so that's probably why it feels so much nicer here today. Nice to see the dews get back down in the lower 60's, right where we like them.

Who uses a computer anymore?

[ORH_wxman]

Someone is going to end up with a huge 5 or 6 day rain total if the Euro is correct with this upcoming pattern.

yeah not good. S to N training and localized orographic enhancement would lead to monster totals. 

[joey2002]

Built one of the last snowmen of the season... not sure the few remaining drifts from the winter up top will survive the next week.

Blizz must be stoked that Frosty will meet his demise quickly.

Celebrate good times come on

@NWSBoston: Temperature at Bradley International Airport at 2:42PM was 94 degrees, tying the record high for this date last set in 1975.

BDF came back SW this run too...def gets your area now and probably hugs E MA coast. Not stuck up in Maine...so I think we'll still have to watch that...for at least part of Thu/Fri.

The trough in the lakes with blocking/higher heighs up around Nova Scotia/New Foundland is a bigtime heavy rain signal for us.

[Tropopause_Fold]

good lord...what a humid stretch modeled on the euro. and over a half a foot of rain verbatim in parts of VT. huge area of >5" rains....with a tap to the tropics...that would be woefully underdone in some spots too.
