I found the text/ zone forecasts on the website thankfully. Those point and clicks are hideous

 

Looks to me like they're where they had been--link from below the p/c.

 

I like the zone, too.  My only gripe with them is they don't put in amounts of progged rainfall.  Not sure why--it's a useful to have in a forecast.

No they said the P and C are all computerized. Zones are done by living people

 

No. As far as I know the P and C are from the human manipulated grids... while the ZFP is just a "summary" of the P and C with virtually no human intervention.

Random post, but the more I look at that 107F New Bedford hot Saturday record the more it looks bogus to me.

 

I always thought that too. I know it was a westerly wind kind of day...but call me suspicious on that.  Maybe it was running a KTAN ASOS kind of fever.

I mean, just compare the max temps/8pm temps between the airport and COOP during that month...

COOP monthly

8/3 http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KEWB/1975/8/3/DailyHistory.html

A cloudy, raw, drizzly day all day...

8/7 http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KEWB/1975/8/7/DailyHistory.html?req_city=NA&req_state=NA&req_statename=NA

Almost everyday the COOP is 5F or so warmer.

Pretty solid looking evidence.  However, 8/2/75 was so hot all over Maine that I find it easy to believe in its scorchicity elsewhere in New England.  Hottest ever for PWM, BGR, BHB, HUL, missed by 1F at CAR, hottest since July 1911 in the foothills, etc.

Yeah, but it just doesn't match any obs in the area.

New Bedford COOP 107

Taunton COOP 102

Fall River COOP 100

EWB 99ish

FMH 95ish

PVD had 104 and BOS 102, but they are obviously more N or W than the stations above. My guess is that 100-102 is more accurate. Most of their max temps seem to be 3F to 7F too warm (cloudy vs sunny) that month compared to the stations above.

No arguments here, as NNE record heat rarely translates to SNE records. 

I know that the -35 reported from Chester, MA as a state record has been disqualified.  Is that location's 107, also on 8/2/75, still valid or was it bogus as well?

Pete MRG in protest, hasn't cut his hair since they disqualified his record. The birth of the Pony-o era had begun
