July. High summer 2013-a humid and warm start. Is big heat lurking? Banter ok here.

[N. OF PIKE]

welcome to summer in SNE even in short shorts and tube top i'm :sweating::

[#NoPoles]

Break out the speedo

[HIPPYVALLEY]

yeah, Muddy Waters playing until 2am on one end of Misquamicut BB King and J Geils on the other with thousands on the beach.[/quoite]

As a huge blues fan and archive/collector of the genre that is a wet dream to me. Seen BB King (past prime but still great) and J Geils, I was too late for Muddy. No matter what the temp I would have been there. Lol

[Cold Miser]

sitting outside just to your south at a party dry

Nice.

Where are you?

[Cold Miser]

Meh give me 1975 when it was 100 to the beaches and midnight temps in the upper 80s and the Governor ordered mandatory opening of all beaches. Total meh

How many days of swamp azz dews that summer?

 

Only in this subforum would people talk about a record dew streak. I've never even entertained that idea.

I was seriously going to ask about this (number of days of swamp azz for this year compared to others).  Seriously, I was going to ask the other day, but I figured I'd get the  , plus I really didn't know how to ask - what the frame of reference would be, etc.

Muddy played at a small place which is gone we locals called the Acud Stand, for good reason, about 100! People hammer in, I was sitting about 5 feet from him. Picture it dark, hot as hell, felt like I was in NOrleans, awesome

Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee opened for JGEILS

MetHerb has the data from BDL dating back to 1949, and I think he said we set a record this year for the most days in a row with 70+ dews. 

 

The relentlessly high dew points the past few weeks have been pretty incredible.

In a shocking development..the Euro cools us off for 1-2 days to normal then trough digs over the midwest and we turn swampy,warm and soupy again after that..WAR wins ..again

[moneypitmike]

Nice to see the sun today--a win for the giant pumpkin.  Looks like it'll warm up too allowing me put away the shawl from yesterday's coolness  (topped at 69.9 at 2:30).  Looks warm for the next few days, with BOX even pumping out a progged lower 90's for tomorrow.  Mid and upper 80's for the other days this week.

 

67.8/67

[HIPPYVALLEY]

70/66. A rare sunny start. It never verifies but I've noticed this odd occurrence the past few summers where the NWS point and click will have Greenfield/Turners Falls having the hottest temps in New England during a heat wave. Computer glitch? It showed 97 here for tomorrow when the highest I could find anywhere else in SNE was 94.

That doesn't mean WAR wins.

[CoastalWx]

Foggy.

[CoastalWx]

I have a feeling we've seen that last of anything severe this season in SE Mass

Based on what?

[Damage In Tolland]

Man did it rain last night..Fog burning off with sky brightening now.  71/71

 

Maybe some sea breeze storms today

[CoastalWx]

If the ensembles are right, the heat is done for the most part. It would turn wet but se-s winds at times too would mute temps. Certainly could be swampy, but that isn't a hot pattern. Warm and muggy yes.

But the SPC has you in a D7 risk area with the fropa lol. 

 

In all seriousness though, it wouldn't shock me to get a day where a cold front fizzles out somewhere in central SNE some evening, followed by a low cape/high shear day for SE MA.  And if the WAR comes back as advertised, you still have the deep tropical airmasses and associated heavy rain/wet micro chances...  not to mention the cane threat in that pattern.

What? You mean no cool dry NW breezes?

My p/c  has 89 and the zfp has upper 80's.  If you're sitting at 97, drive up the hill for a spell.  No way do you get that hot today.

Well at some point later this weekend or next week we may have a couple of nice days.

Well most of us saw that but there has been talk of a major pattern change

Well it will be somewhat of a change with a front nearby and possibly stalled south. That could be a SOS pattern... looks like it will be mighty wet for some.

[Ginx snewx]

perfect example of how bootleg this hottest July ever is. ORH with a high temp of 74 on July 13th ends up the day averaging normal.

But is a wet massive humid pattern a pattern change? Haven't we been in that for almost a month now?

The WAR takes a beat down as expected. Changeable air masses every few days. Days and days and days of the same ole same ole not in the cards. Excessive heat cancel. Wet at times with frontal passages, looks different to me. After this weeks inferno the countdown to better more enjoyable weather is inevitable. Hopefully not too much rain as reports of green fungus and mold issues have been reported.

Humidity will be based on where the front is. It looks humid but is it 60s or 70d cor TDs? Big difference.

There's a lot of focus on the average temps.  That's all fine and good and those stats are what they are.

 

It will be helpful to see how many days of the month the high temps have exceeded the average daily high and see a summed net degree difference (for the month)  from the average daily high.  I'm not about to do it, but I bet it's already there some place.

 

As my wife says (she's a researcher/business intelligence), work the stats until they support the story you want told. 

[CoastalWx]

In other news, could be some tstms moving almost due south from NNE today.  Tough to pin point, but perhaps maybe western areas into CT and then again ern MA?
