CapturedNature Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 12° difference when driving between the northern part of my town and here. We went out to dinner in Sturbridge and I kept an eye on the thermometer while I was driving. It kept changing every time I looked at it....lol.

powderfreak Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Today sucked. Today was damn near perfect, lol. 70s and sun until the PM storms here between your guys' marine taint and the torch in the Champlain to Hudson Valleys. MWN missed their record high by a degree today, haha. I bet it was a nice day at 6,000ft over eastern New England today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 it's just that a NE wind at PWM is land direction technically. the slope of the coast bends back more due S as you near Cape Ann up there in NE MA/Hamptons, such that a NE wind is flat square face smack on shore and relentless at that. May as well be in a f'n boat hundred mile E of Boston Light! But just the same ... a S wind at PWM can be cruel to summer enthusiasts... sure Good points all. And I was thinking of the south wind, which has increasing effect as the coast gains a more southerly exposure. At one point during the May 1978 heat wave, HUL was reporting 97 while EPO was in the fog at 49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 I can't recall a backdoor having such a giant effect on temps like this one before Oh geez, you haven't been around long then - Perhaps by your personal experience, okay - but users of all scales have spun truthful yarns of lore many, ...many times on this forum over the years, regarding our plight as a veritable peninsula that sticks out into the ocean (cold one at that...), and is therefore prone to marine invasions ... some of which have been far more infuriating to summer enthusiasts than this. Granted, ...this one has a particularly potent bite to it due to the 24-hour whiplash, but there have definitely been others as, or more, extreme in short term face smack annoyance than this.

From the window over the street ... college gals huddles in shivering droves at the T-stop in their provocative clothes wondering what the f happened.

None off that... credit the NAM - absolutely nailed that some 1.5 days (5 cycles) ahead and beat all the other guidance to the punch.

TalcottWx Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 60/60 at Logan last wind direction was SE which certainly won't provide instablity. Will have to see if that changes, otherwise it'll be seaweed suffocation for any CU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was April that year - schit. I just flat suck at remembering dates like that. jesus. anyway, yet, it was a yiker - and that 59 didn't stop. I know it didn't. I was living in Waltham (Metro west) at the time and it slipped into the upper 40s that evening. although, that graph says 6 pm .. hm, the one I remember distinctly was during the early afternoon. whatever - you seen one you suffered 'em all.

Full sun, near 80, and a nice breeze. yeah was out toolin' around runnin' errands and found my way out on 495 at 75 as the car therm read ... duh duh dunn, 75. windows down, sun shinin'. amazing. that heat on Saturday was too much. it's fun to track that sort of thing for the pure Meteorology and all, but basking in it - heh, not so much. this heat signal was clad. it fired off just find but we just got screwed(saved) in the last 36 hours worth by typical bullschit you only find on a landmass trying to run a heat wave while sticking out into the cold NW Atlantic. N. VT and NH's lower els were in that 86 ... 87 range today for highs. shows what this air mass would have supported sans that BD garbage yesterday down this way.
