I have a window unit in my bedroom... otherwise a fan in the living room, office, and ceiling fan in dining room/kitchen. House is not bad at all now. Thermostat reads 82.

two window units cool the entire upstairs, I have 1700 ft Cape too. Downstairs rec room and finished basement we have one which rarely runs with a dehumidifier, house is 69/50. Feels good after getting roasted at the beach.

Coverage of storms should increase a bit tomorrow and Sunday. Subtle shortwaves both days with slightly falling heights and decent combination of shear and instability. Worth watching.

 

I mean it seems almost impossible to remove this air mass quietly.

Yeah I know. Lapse rates suck but we're awfully unstable given the rich low level theta-e. Once we get some nice QG forcing things should really fire. Not a high end outbreak but could be a couple days with decent boomers around.

Just a little shortwave to provide some cooling aloft via ascent. I mean big difference between 5.5 and 6.5 C/km.

No doubt. There's not a ton of CIN either. Just need a little perturbation to get things to fire. 

 

The opening closed low on Monday is an interesting look on the GFS/Euro for E NY and SNE.

Daily occurrence for VT

 

 

At 300 PM EDT National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated two
potential severe thunderstorms capable of producing one inch
diameter hail and damaging winds in excess of 60 mph. One storm
was near Shoreham... the other approaching Hancock... moving
east at 25 mph.

Yeah unreal how consistent it is. Every day at like 3pm the clouds build and it starts to rain around the area.

Props to all the mets on here who saw the long-duration sultan signal here in advance.

BDL and Tolland , for the first time in recorded history are equal FTW

@ryanhanrahan: When you combine the heat and humidity you get the heat index or an apparent temperature. It's toasty! http://t.co/N2XxRJiw8Y

seasons behaving as seasons

i will never think the apparent temperature makes sense without accounting for wind speed. Go outside in 93/74 stale air, then go outside in 93/74 w 25 mph winds, wind chill is apparent temp w wind, why the difference. Is 3 variables too much so one cant have a basic chart (temp/dp/wspeed)?

There is an index that accounts for temp, humidity, sun, and wind. The Davis stations will report it with the appropriate sensors installed...it's the THSW index. Here's the daily plot of it from my station. Keep in mind the weenie dews inflate it a bit...

Thanks dentrite, seems much more functional wrt outdoor activities and heat illness or is it not?

Yeah...but as you can imagine the sun greatly influences it. There's a THW index as well (for those without the solar rad sensor). The wind does make it feel cooler since you're enhancing the evaporation rate from your body.
