SJonesWX Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Agreed, which is why I like to take the hottest temperatures from the typically hottest locations in the valley and downslope areas. That gives us a good idea where the true heat and heat wave is. And it's why I like to take the dew point readings from areas that are grassy, forested, in the suburbs that aren't in a modified or asphalt type environment, So no matter where you are, you are getting the best possible representation of any type of weather observation you are most interested in. I.e..take the heat from the areas that should be hottest and the dews from the areas should be the dewiest..etc etc i am most interested in snowfall. that's why i report the snowfall from the picnic tables atop Mt Mansfield for MBY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I just disagree that it is the "best representation of any type of weather you are most interested in." I think you are looking for the "most extreme possible representation of any type of weather you are interested in." I think of "best representation" as tossing out the outliers and picking the middle ground. The ASOS dews are just field climo dews. I know a few of the big airports in SNE may have some tarmac issues, but even the podunk small airfields in NNE have ASOS where the dews are lower than the local PWS. So I'm not sure I completely buy ASOS dews being lower than PWS as artificially modified. BDL's dews run lower than local PWS, but so does the podunk MVL ASOS up here. Its just a different climo siting with better potential for mixing out than in a treed area. Here's a good example. Noon obs..higher point of mixing BDL is 86/70 Tolland Stem 10 Minute Wind Gust: 7 mph Anemometer:5 mph Barometer:29.99 in.

tamarack Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Here's Boston heat wave from August 11-18 of 2002: 90, 90, 101, 94, 94, 96, 95 Earlier in the month they had 2 days in a row of 93 and in July they had 2 days at 97. Now thats a hot summer...this year not so much. Easily the hottest of my going-on-18 summers here. Farmington had three heatwaves, including a 6-day run in mid-August and 91, 95, 94 on Sept 8-10. Not quite up with July 1911, when 1-13 brought two 6-day heatwaves separated by the 88 on 7/7, with each streak including 2 days of 100+ and 2 more 96-99.

Forward and onward.... The gist of the trough ends up up to our west over the Lakes..Sort of like in the winter when you might see a broad trough..but it's still sw flow aloft along the east coast. It does open the door for a mild down or 2 with weak fropas..but there's no below normal or cool fall air thru day 15 over us.But also no sustained heat like we've had the last week..Dews will still be around in varying degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
