Ginx snewx Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Maybe we can hype up how many people will be attacked by sharks? I'll play that game. Factoid, no one has ever been bit by a shark in RI ocean waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropopause_Fold Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 LOL they were 83 at noon and dropped since. even HYA and CHH are down into the 70s now. helps to have the southerly flow moving over a larger region and not just a stale light seabreeze. it'll cook tomorrow with 250/260 to start the day but feels pretty good right now.

ORH_wxman Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 ORH has only had one official heat wave since 1991, which occurred in July 2011 It will be close tomorrow as 850 temps are roughly the same as today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 john, you're a smart guy. but i feel bad for you. hopefully there's a sonoran heat release soon to make you a happier person. Whatever dude -- the feeling could not be more mutual when you pop off boorish comments and then try to hide behind "banter". I never accused you of low self esteem and all that other bullschit -- I said I don't like you as a poster, and when you say the former, I have good reason. Thanks for making my case. Just block me please. I'm trying to figure out how to block you but I think I may puke if I ever read another word that comes out of your f keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 This is like Ray's beast of a man analogy to me. I need it to stop. kevin will at this post, but it was actually "cool" last night i thought. i went out at 10 to walk the dog and then again at about 5:30 am and it felt way cooler than the previous mornings. dropping the dews yesterday helped a lot with the addition of the light wind / clear sky last night...

Just watch, there will likely be at least one significant convective outbreak while it's down producing severe weather. Who knows, I wonder if this means we get a 1995 Great Barrington or 1973 West Stockbridge type tornado (both EF-4) around here while it's down? You know how that goes...

We had a localized cooldown at my house as a shower rolled through around 8pm last night. Could feel how cool it was when I rolled ino Weymouth after work. I realize any wind south of 090 won't really cut it unless it's blowing a good 15kts. However, any wind with a NE component rockets right into my hood. There is nothing stopping the wind coming in from Mass Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Logan said this, he lives in Knox TV stations here have their own which could be used at substitutes. Google WRGB CBS 6, and WNYT 13.... There might be links to their in-house radars.

Tropopause_Fold Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 How's the water temp at Coast Guard Beach? Love it there and Marconi... cold. i don't really know. probably 60-ish. maybe if you catch the tide right it's a little warmer than that. you'll get these days where people "swear it's 70!" but...nah. just cold.

ORH_wxman Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If we get there tomorrow do you think we would get a 4 day heatwave? Probably. Friday looks like maybe a half degree warmer at 850.,,but its still sem-marginal. You can "ruin" it if you get too many clouds in the afternoon. I usually like to see solid +19 to +20C 850 temps for forecasting >90F at ORH. I'd have to check to see the last time we had a 4 day heat wave in ORH...its been a long time I think. My guess would be 1950s, though perhaps the summer of '83 did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Does this mean you are prone to changeover or far enough inland to be ok come winter? I'm prone like any coastal community. I think overall I'll do a wee bit better for a couple of reasons. I'm a little higher than I was in Dorchester, A bit further inland when we have those easterly 2-3" glop storms, decent OES area, sneaky south of pike deals, and no urban heat island. Downfall is that we had a few storms where the coastal front set up in between weymouth and dorchester...but they still did great here. The ocean is about 1.5-1.8 miles or so to my north and northeast. There isn't any land to stop the wind as I'm one of the higher points away from the water so it should be good in a storm. My guess is we avg similar to where I used to live..give or take an inch or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, the COOP station in Hingham 3 miles inland averages more snow than Logan. So you should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
