CapturedNature Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Still haven't hit 90 in Tolland since May 31st... and the dew points are actually lower this week than the past few weeks. 88 across the way today.

It's Always Sunny Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 There's lots of good stuff out there. Lots of details about FG and the types (MI, BC, PR, etc). HALO ARND MOON/SUN was a good indicator of a cirrostratus deck. I've seen the MOON/SUN DMLY VSBL in obs too which was a good indicator that the cirrostratus lowered to altostratus. MWN throws out an AURBO ob every once in awhile. Sometimes you still see BINOVC or SML BRKS INOVC. Many of the big airports have snow observers now so you occasionally get the snow depth 4/ddd or SNINCR remarks. Sometimes you get the LTG remarks with frequency and bolt types. They're more interesting than the same old boring automated METARs, that's for sure. A lot of those you mentioned I have used before at Blue Hill. I would also use a lot of STFRA DRFTG OVR/BLO SMT or PRESFR/PRESRR before/after a big storm. It would be a treat to cite a halo to put into your observation. I've only seen those a couple times.

joey2002 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Yes we did. Hit 90.2 today at 1000 feet and so did ORH lol I'm on the other side of town... and what does ORH have to do with our high temp? Upper 80s here this afternoon, same high temp as MetHerb. 88 across the way today. That May reading is our only one and hopefully it stays that way!

Here's a station near you that recorded the same thing, staying around 88/89 all afternoon. It spiked up 2 degrees at 16:20 and I'm wondering if it got some extra solar radiation at that time? http://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/meso_base.cgi?stn=C2621 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 It's too bad W. Ma has so few official stations. The only one in Franklin Co. is KORE which is barely in Franklin Co. and really not representative of this area at all. Turners Falls airport is in the Valley and would be a good location for a NWS station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. OF PIKE Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Dew points today very manageable. 90/72 much worse than 94/63 , was this number (13) At KBOS, wonder if they only get u 80's tommorrow, thur-fri are relative locks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Boston will squeeze past 90F tomorrow despite the S/SE wind. I'd like KBOS's temperature to be a bit higher right now but I have a sense of optimism.

dendrite Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 euro beats down the western US ridge a bit next week so it's a short lived cool down. ens are actually a little cooler now for a couple of days early next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Topped out at 87.0 at the Pit yesterday. Was home yesterday afternoon (on a work trip this week in NE,, but was able to stop in breifly). Deck was nice and comfy. Warm, but humidityt wasn't bad and the breeze was great. I thought we'd have hit 90 over the last two days. I don't expect we'll avoid it eventually, but they have tempered the forecast from 'lower 90s' to 'around 90'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Looks about AWT so far. Another trough hopefully comes in during the 11-15 day, but the big heat for now is done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah..we've always said the massive heat will end this week,,,but we will be left with the same pattern of high,high dews with little to no fropas..78-84 with dews at or over 70 with continued storm chances..like we've had since around June 26th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty bummed though I'm supposed to be hiking Mt. Washington next Saturday and that's exactly when that trough will be moving in. Lots of moisture moving through starting around Thursday.
