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

[dryslot]

I remember a big blowdown in Maine in the 70s one summer. We were camping two towns over, wild night with lots of damage. I think we were near West Bethel at a KOA

 

That would be the area that would see one near Gorham, NH, Marine layer is death here

Yeah mtns and foothill area

[free_man]

what happened to the dews?

[MaineJayhawk]

snowflakes gazelles everywhere, oddly phrased thread titles clog my rain gauge.

I was just thinking that we needed more haiku around here.

Looks like the best cold fropa of the summer by late next weekend but I don't think it fundamentally changes the pattern. We shall see.

[dendrite]

We don't need 2 banter threads.

[weathafella]

Dews now plummeting. Down to 59 at BOS.

LOL.

 

What a beautiful cool night and mroning.

Well a one day reprieve today on the fun dews..before they come right back tomorrow and Sunday. It sucks, but after 3 straight weeks of dews near or over 70 it had to give for 1 day

So, which day of the two aren't you counting--today or tomorrow?

[Damage In Tolland]

The pattern ends with a bang. Possibly EML or strong CF with violence.

There's not a pattern change. A cold front then reload of heat 3 days later doesn't signify a change..Again..until there's ens support it's just a cold front and reload

Dews come right back up tomorrow..esp in the afternoon

[forkyfork]

the euro is pretty hot... is that why nobody is mentioning it?

[Damage In Tolland]

Wow

Oh it feels some much better this AM...Dewpoint down. First time this month Hartford has low below 70. 69 currently..

Maybe for you down south.......I don't think that'll happen up here.  Nor do I think they'll be all that oppressive as last weeks.

 

But, summer is summer.  Fortuantley, we're nearing the date for the daily decline in average temps.

[Damage In Tolland]

Euro has a couple days 95-98ish next week

[weathafella]

Yeah it's a roaster. I don't think next weekends relief gets to DC where I have to go 7/22.

[forkyfork]

[weatherwiz]

There is going to be some major severe somewhere across the eastern 1/3 of the US at some point with this pattern.  

[forkyfork]

nasty

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Next week looks like it may be the hottest stretch of the summer in NE. Mid -90's possible for many. If dews are in the 70's it's going to be unbearable.

But kind of fun in a twisted way of the weenie world. Lets face it, -30 wind chills aren't paradise but we embrace them.

We'll see.  Have you hit 90 yet this year?

 

I got 88.2 on July 5th.  Not sure if we beat that next week.  If not, good chance will have another 90-free summer as we begin the descent to fall.  The rainy conditions this spring/summer are setting the stage for a decent foliage season--hopefully the late summer and early fall will seal the deal.

Why do we need high dews anyways, all it brought you was a funnel cloud.

[CoastalWx]

Euro is darn hot with near +20 850 temps on the south coast by Thursday and Friday.

[N. OF PIKE]

Wow

Hopefully we can get some good mixing and bring widespread death and destruction to the area.

Man living on a hill FTW. The NNE wind is ripping through the windows.

Both HFD and BDL had a low of 69 on the 9th, so Furey is incorrect on that one.

 

July has never had this many 70+ lows to start off July. 2013's 8 of the first 9 days with lows 70+ is by far the most. Next closest is 4 of the first 9 days of July which occurred in 2010, 1994, 1974, and 1911. This year also has a shot to have the most days with 70+ lows on an annual basis. So far this year BDL has 14 days with lows 70+. The most ever was 20 in 1973.

 

As far as streaks go, these are the top 70+ streaks:

 

11 days: 2013 - 6/28-7/8

8 days: 1975 - 7/13-7/20

6 days: 1970 - 7/28-8/2

6 days: 1919 - 7/18-7/23

5 days: 12 occurrences

 

and the top 67+ streaks:

 

18 days: 2013 - 6/24-7/11

17 days: 2010 - 7/6-7/22

13 days: 1938 - 7/26-8/7

12 days: 2003 - 8/3-8/14

12 days: 1972 - 7/13-7/24

12 days: 1912 - 7/5-7/16
