I should just make a call that we'll see an arctic outbreak this winter. Yep, it's going to be a winter to remember! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 This is memorable heat. Prior heat this summer was noteworthy for some but not really memorable, regardless of BDL 10 day stretch. These are the few and far between moments I remember growing up. High for the day here 95, down to 93 now with more clouds but a dew of 76, just absolutely miserable. Heat index hit 106 here, congrats HFD on the 108.

ORH_wxman Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The dewpoints in this airmass are pretty notable...esp in CT. Hard to get mid 70s dewpoints while temps in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I've had higher temps at least 7 times this year, but coupled with the high dews it is pretty gross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Ouch this is about as oppressive in New England. Norwood Mass 3pm 96/75F or Boston 97/71 or Hartford 96/74F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to get mid 70s dewpoints while temps in the 90s. It's been a couple of years since we have coupled the two but we usually have at least a couple of days with temps in the 90s and dews near 70. I will say that it's been longer since we've had a stretch with dews in the mid-70s. That doesn't happen very often but it has and can. This is about as bad as it gets.

Yeah, anecdotally from my memory, airmasses with dews in the mid 70s with temps near 90 or better are probably something like 1 in 3-4 years. If you can get like mid-upper 90s with dews 75+, then you're prob looking at once a decade or so...like we saw in the 1995 airmass. Think we may have seen it again in 2005.

Typhoon Tip Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 For those into tedium ... this is a good estimate on where the collocation of Maine outflow/rain cooled air is giving the BD a bit of a push at the present hour. this is the feature that NAM is keying in on to overspread eastern zones later tonight. Euro's been luke warm on the idea but appears to have sans it on the 12z run. we'll see - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 CON ties another record today with 99F. That was as of 20z...very slim shot they got any higher than that as they've been fluctuating between 36C and 37C since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
