91/75.  Today seems more bearable compared to yesterday's 95.7F  Dew's a degree or two less.  Also a breeze today.  80/65F is going to feel quite cool.  It's amazing how you adapt, kind of the opposite when we had the week of 20F or below and then it got up to freezing.

These last 3.  They missed yesterday by a few degrees but otherwise they've been spot on.

Keene again with one of the highest heat index in the entire region.

And no Excessive Heat Warning.

Also the point forecasts are down, and only zones showing up right now.

Is all of the Gray NWS drinking margaritas at the pool?

And 4pm obs put Keene at 105F heat index. 2 hours of HI>=105F and excessive heat criteria. No warning.

[CT Valley Snowman]

Maybe NWS just holds off on the heat warnings if the coverage area is  isolated.   Vast majority of the CWA is at advisory levels including much of the counties that Keene ,Orange, and Westfield are located in.  

[dendrite]

I'm guessing they didn't expect today to be so humid? Criteria is 2 consecutive days with at least 3 hours of 105F+ IIRC.

2 hours >=105F

Heat advisory requires 2 days, and the southern CWAs require 2 days for EHW.

My thing is after observing yesterday, and then seeing the same dew points by noon today, pull the trigger. I mean they put up the warning at 2:37pm yesterday, after already 2 hours of EH criteria met. So late it's basically worthless. Waiting to see how high dew points got today is understandable. See it, then act.

I was looking at BGM. Is that for GYX? Link? I've been looking for their criteria page.

https://www.weather.gov/bgm/heat

I think some criteria changed earlier this year, but I can find the info on it. BTW...last hour yielded a 104F HX so technically GYX could say that hour didn't verify.

Jesus I'm a dummy. I need to read more. Nevermind about the EHW criteria Sam. I was looking at "heat warning". I guess the 104F HX stands though.

That's for BOX. Not sure if GYX has a page.
Sorry here's the link I used https://www.weather.gov/box/criteria

I bet they bounce to 85-88 before dark based on where I’m at.  Decidedly hotter vs 2 hours ago.

[OKpowdah]

Anyone have the link for that page with the temperature mesonet map in southern New England? It's been a while

Lol...if I’m lucky both some day.

Ok here we go-Logan on the rise as the sea breeze drops to 5 mph.   79 now on the way up especially when the land breeze rolls in.
