CT Rain

Well ...dews are between 78 and 80 in SNE..LOL.. It's safe tp say this is and has been the most humid period of any of our lifetimes. I'd like to see someone try and argue against that

Really hard to prove or disprove those types of statements with lack of data. I'm a little more cautious and skeptical of statements like that (any once-in-a-lifetime type statement), but we know that cautiously reserved statements aren't really your style, lol.

So you are saying SNE has never before seen two weeks of humid weather?

Who has a dew of 80? lol

Today marks two weeks where the low temp at BDL has been 67 or above... impressive stretch but still a long way to go for anything historic.

I would actually be very disappointed if this was the most humid weather of our lives for New England. I mean its been very humid but Mother Nature can do better than this as far as historical extremes go.

Post switch to heat lover maybe, as usual hyped exaggeration .Read my link

It's 3 weeks with most days at or above 70

Hard to really get much more humid than around 80 dews without juicing the low levels with agriculture. Like an Iowa cornfield or Blizz's garden.

Yup, definitley been three weeks+ of mank in W. MA.

Can't believe more rain falling in VT, boating season on the Ct River has pretty much come to a halt from Northfield down to Holyoke.

 

Marinas down here are largely closed.

 

If we get dps in the low 60s it'll feel like we may be in danger of nasty static shocks.  St. Louis climo here on the valley floor.

Was going just east of Hartford when it was closing in. Heard the booms while going 80 trying to outrun it. Impressive. I'm not sold on pattern change per se but this can't last much longer unless you believe the climo has changed that much. No science behind that. Bottom line euro ens don't really support the op today.

Nope... today makes day #14.  http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/windsor-locks-ct/06096/june-weather/337525?monyr=6/1/2013

 

June 16th-22nd low temps at BDL ranged between 48 and 62. 

 

It depends on the definition of "our lives" and what station.  I downloaded daily data going back to 1949 at BDL so I could look at this because it does seem like a stretch but in my opinion I seem to recall other stretches like this or at least it's not that unusual.

 

FWIW, it's day 16 for me with a low above 64 or day 7 with a low at or above 68.  I'll look tomorrow and see what other stretches we might have had in our neck of the woods or at BDL.

 

Personally, I wish I had a summer place in northern Maine where it's 63 vs 76 attm.

Be interesting to see what that cell does as it moves into CT where the airmass is still quite unstable per RAPv2...actually some pretty impressive instability numbers for this time of night.  Shear has also increased...lots of CIN though

 It's already dying. I expected no less.

 

Regarding the severe parameters, tell me about it, I am so sick of seeing Supercell Composite of 2 or greater day after day after day here in southern CT... And never any damn storms! We had the one day with the tors, but that was it. Weeks of favorable shear and instability, but no storms. It's downright depressing.

You need to be careful with those parameters, as they are only as good as the numbers going into it. For instance, supercell composite is a product of MUCAPE, effective shear, and effective helicity. So in this case we've probably been CAPE dominated for days.

Yeah, I know. But at this point I'll take a high CAPE/low shear storm anytime, it would beat the persistent nothing at all we've been getting for days and days on end...

I'd be curious to see what you find. It's been humid but it seems like some summers it'll be humid for 6 weeks straight (Like this one may). Though maybe that's just what they felt like and the actual data is different.

Temperatures have certainly been hotter and for a longer duration in the past, but who knows about dews.

A comfy 68/66 here right now. Haven't had to use the AC once yet...I've got 3 sliding glass doors at my condo and if I leave them open (screen slider shut of course) there's some great air circulation with the inside cooling at about the same rate as outdoors.
