July Doldrums - Summer in full effect Pattern and Model Discussion

[Typhoon Tip]

Machine numbers are 86 or so for tomorrow on average but ... I wouldn't be shocked if places SE of Pittsfield to roughly MHT grab an 89.5 before the front/convection fire up. 

My experience with fronts moving into established warm sectors with these MOS products is that they tend to bust slightly cool...particularly because SW flows tend have better ceilings than anticipated. Not a big deal...heh. Not like we've missed out on anything if that doesn't happen but.. I could see this being one of those times.

Looks like that is the warmest temp ever recorded at BML in the ASOS era.

Today on Mansfield is going to make it 4 of the hottest 5 days ever recorded up there.

This is insane.

[dendrite]

71.1F on the rockpile, but back down to 68F. So freakin close.

I'd say yes for NNE.

Yeah definitely is.  

There are some big records that have fallen...not just like the daily max record for the day. 

[Baroclinic Zone]

Unless we pop another 1F, it's going to be a cheap 90F high.  Lotta 89.6F on the 5min obs.

Half hour straight of 32C after that 18z ob. Good chance for a 91F in there.

[ma blizzard]

90.6/76

7 day heat wave imby .. I'll have to double check my records going back to 2005, but I believe this is the longest heat wave by 2 days. Impressive for the combo of 70+ dews and mid 90s high temps (5 days), but was not able to challenge the record high of 99.5 on 7/22/11.

[CoastalWx]

91.8/77  on my Davis. Make it stop. Came home to an oven house. At least it was cooler on the Cape despite the dews. Somewhere I recorded an 81 dew the other day.

[ORH_wxman]

Humidity has been really nasty down here...but the raw temps themselves in SNE have been pretty meh as far as heatwaves go. But the duration of the humidity has been impressive.

[powderfreak]

BTV with another fun day of 95/70.

Wish we had 1911 obs from up there.

I feel like the hottest temps have been a bit west of SNE.  

Like ALB has been on fire out into PA/NY.

[HoarfrostHubb]

Might not make 90F here. 88.4 for my max thus far.  A couple of miles away I see some 92s at PWSs

Pool is amazing though

The shape/location of the ridge wasn't ideal for SNE to max out temps...it sent the best stuff around us into NY State and then east into NNE and Quebec.

Has ALB set any daily records?  It’s been hot there

They set a couple of record low minimum temps...but no record highs.

[CoastalWx]

We've had some 850 temps at times max in SNE, but the humidity is really impressive. About as bad as you will ever see. I don't count Davis dews, but when you have dews in the U70s at first order stations, that is impressive. I think Logan had a 77 dew the other day and max recorded was 78 in 1995 I believe?

7/7/94 was 78F there...but the max was actually 79F on 7/27/40

 

edit: they tied the 79F record on 8/10/01

It's way more impressive when you get high 70s on ASOS.

we were at 99F on 7/22/11. Not even close today at 90.1f

[LurkerBoy]

Interesting. It feels hot, but not historic. I wonder if this sort of thing is going to become commonplace. 

[dendrite]

Getting some thunder from those cells to the SE. Looks like they may miss here though.

The heat indices are just as bad.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

 Still swampy  but clouds have at least kept us in the low 80s all afternoon.   I sure wish the showers had been a little bit more productive,  my peach tree is starting to shed leaves.

[WxBlue]

Just got back from camping near Jackman, Maine. Wow, y'all weren't kidding about bugs up there.

Not here. 95.7 today. 110.5f in 2011.
