I wonder how there was so much lightning. Perhaps we were able to steepen mid level lapse rates enough to get good CAPE and therefore charge separation in the -10 to -20 layer. You can't lose with NW flow.

 

It was the best lightning i had seen in a long long time, Don't know if heat lightning was a contributing factor or not as well

Possibly the most rapid-fire lightning I've seen in Maine, and followed up 24 hr later with a much slower-strike event that had incredibly lengthy bolts, both in extent and flash time.  Great stuff!   (No competition for the storm I saw in Illinois 3 yr ago, nor would I expect it to be.  That one, passing 6-8 miles to our south, featured 100+ strikes/minute, and the thunder came as a constant drumroll.  When folks who grew up watching Great Plains light shows are amazed, one knows something special has occurred.)

Graphical forecast has me at 92 at 11am but it's 80.7  :(

 

Was all excited for upper 90's

 

Blue sky is sitting just to the north but the edge isn't moving.

 

only 88 at kcon at 11 ob.  but that's up 6 degrees from 10 and I think we will hit u 90's easily.   Guessing that graph forecast isn't so great even if you didn't have clouds.

86.6F quite windy at 1100 feet with my SW facing location. Temp is not going to hit 90F today. High clouds this AM slowed rise and fast moving Cu keeping the sun in and out. Actually feels cooler than past couple of days with the steady breeze

 

Yeah the breeze is really helping to make it feel less oppressive

Wunderground has New Sharon (actually a PWS in nearby Mercer) at 90/76, HI 103.  I'm guessing that my high will be about 85 and the "non-transpirational" TD 71-72.  Bad enough!

WVL shows a dew of 75, but they've consistently shown dews 2-4F higher than anyone else in Maine during this muggy period (and long before that), with no logical/climatological reason they should differ from AUG/BGR et.al.
