Typhoon Tip Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 And unfortunately ... all the information that's been presented here, regarding instrumentation ... is conjectural until proven empirically ... Snark and sarcasm..., those do not satisfy the "empirical" side of any contention or debate. There may in fact be a problem with Boston... but in the spirit of conjecture: the heat over the weekend and the behavior of readings failed to exemplify from what I observed. That station did not deviate appreciably enough from the KBED - KOWD arc - in fact, it didn't deviate at all. The overnight low of 83 is perfectly explained given wind trajectory and static synoptic parameters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd expect just inland and west of them to be a little hotter on that type of setup. So you don't end up noticing the drift as much on that type of synoptic setup.

Baroclinic Zone Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 BOS #s were legit. They matched surrounding ASOS stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Yesterday's high launchpad was neutered by 2 hours of mostly cloudy centered on noon, with a teeny shower mixed in. Things re-warmed afterwards but dews were sliding down thru the 60s so the comfort level was improving and temps dropped to upper 50s this morning. Saturday's 86 was about 3° below what I'd anticipated, much like other Maine sites - saw 92s and 96s where forecasts had been 95s and 99s. Too much dew? My garden was sad that all that PWAT left the building with just 0.01" RA. Hoping tonight's event doesn't slide away south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A day like yesterday will mask the issue because you're probably maxing out the heat a bit inland (see hot Saturday, etc). Again, we're talking a couple degrees here so it's harder to notice on big downslope day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, it was Boston's second consecutive daily minimum temperature of 80° or above for the first time on record. Prior to 2019, no year had more than one such day. Boston's records go back to 1872. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
