Kevin uninstalling on Father’s Day smashing his units with a sledgehammer in anger...the summer that never was.  

The 1816 prediction finally comes true this year.

Kevin refusing to uninstall as icicles hang from the window unit in September and Scooter throwing more furniture in his basement as we get a 2009 June redux and then a repeat of 7/4/92.

Ha, hotter than that at the summits up here.  

I think picnic tables are gonna destroy their all-time May temps at this pace.

What an impressive air mass. This sort of came out of no where for 3 days.

Actually pretty well forecasted that NNE would be 10 to 15 degrees hotter than SSNE Pike south. Its actually the perfect temp dew combo for me anyways today. You can feel an occasional burst of cool ocean air with the breeze. Pool is 68 but very comfortable after getting out. We summer in the summer of isolation.  Its 5 o'clock somewhere

Heh... it was a heavy-handed dark satirical take. Unfortunately, like all humor, does carry a modicum of truth/reality - 

I don't know. We've also had more tor events and reporting in recent years - probably owing to the fact there is more popularization to drama and natural events ... lending to more pervasive public awareness. I mean, in 1953, I've read accounts where it was clear, those watching had no f'ing clue what they were seeing; comparing the generations of lore and the general culture back then, where/when public notification policies were formulated, to now?  The world is a different place... the general ability to access 'wall cloud' images and film, and just have an inkling is a presumption at this point.

It's more likely that a guy can identify a suspicious real-time cloud motion/pattern in the sky, and then ...a town loses ten trees and a roof .. a calved off church steeple, next to a soccer field where some handsome athlete(s) gets injured, and his/or her negligent law-accessing, self-absolving unscrupulous parents ultimately raise taxes for everyone to pay for their conversion of that kid's health and vitality into a monetary settlement ... when if they had not assume their asses would be wiped in every turn of their f'n reality and bothered to check the forecast they might have not had their kid on the field at 5:10 pm in 84/67 with a 120 kt 500 mb jet fisting in from the west.... 

you know ... So, the same sky is producing the same shit it did in 1955 

I certainly agree the level of awareness has vastly increased; both with reporting and just an overall understanding of convective events and certain setups which can be "sneaky". I mean let's face it, probably a good amount of our tornadoes don't happen from those textbook setups...often time some brief/weak spinner of a high shear/low CAPE type day. I certainly understand the need to want to sniff those out, however, I think they are becoming overplayed...whereas anytime those type of setups arise the mention of tornadoes occur. I don't think there is anything wrong with that, but that doesn't mean it has to be conveyed to the public. Another big driver is the use now of UD helicity charts and the STP chart...which I think are becoming akin to model snow maps. Folks see an area of high UD helicity or high STP and automatically believe it correlates to tornado potential...I don't believe that.

Seasonal lag is blurring season distinction ...  

Summers are getting affected over the greater geographic region of central/eastern Canada, and it is subtending influence into the NP-Lakes-NE regions. The Pacific balancing/folding pattern is causing a global cooling well to materialize ..one that counter-intuitively appears more endemic to summer, but then washes out late autumns when winter kicks in.  

This has been going on with just enough interruptions to ignite arguments and obscur awareness - but ... unfortunately, it's not a good sign for winters in general.  

Y'all wanting-on these weird trough incursions that are climate oddities, ...as though 'symbolic' of short summer...heh. You should be advised, it's not getting you closer to your neurosis fulfillment of winter.  Heh... ribbing aside, your winter is probably just as f-ed, because of the same force f'ing up the summer(s) is doing what last winter did, to last winter... and the winter before...and will likely mean winters continue to be impacted by disruptive wind anomalies at mid latitudes ..ripping R-wave stability and preventing traditional storm tracks from doing what they did prior to the hockey-stick CC onset 20 years ago... ( lol, but all seasonal outlooks are meaningless until some Met has the cojones to say, no winter because of CC - that's their outlook.  21, ten page climate outlooks from reputable firms, with one genius paper summed up in one sentence like that).

Too much gradient. 

HC expansion into lower middle latitudes during cold season is compressing the flow and ripping cyclone transit belts all over the hemisphere to pieces.  But that same thing is causing NE Pac cold loading to perpetuate/kick back in spring and summers... Yes, this happens despite hotter than normal decades from IND to NYC...

Yeah, man, look at these 925mb temp differences from you to the North Country!  Yesterday was my first swim in the river, god that snow melt still feels cold even at 90F outside, ha.

The whole time though, CT and most of SNE doesn't exceed 20C  at 925mb.  Pretty neat pattern.

Today:

Tomorrow...

Even Friday is a sneaky torch in NW Maine... hottest spot in what is normally the climo coolest in New England.

79/62 here....def getting the marine influence of the southerly flow. Feels summery, but not obscene like NNE.

Is that what it is?  Causing that gradient near RT 2 and S.NH?  Impressive that the southerly flow can sort of overwhelm all of SNE with that marine air.

It's easily noticeable in CT though in that lowest 3,000ft of the atmosphere.

Mid 80s up here along the Rt poop...  DPs around the town's Wunder' network are doing the typical 68 backyard thing ...so probably 63 mixing depth or so...But as we lamented yesterday, it only matters what is felt on the person, so if it's 86/68 ...it feels what it feels regardless of tarmac sources...  

anyway, I wonder if the S. coastal 'boundary' makes its way up this far... Prolly not.. it probably gets to about the Pike then the eastern end of it tilts toward Cape Ann/SE NH...

Holy shit at Mount Washington.

Today's record high is 63F back in 1978.... they have already hit 72.2F today?

I gotta find the May record.  Wonder if they hit it. 

Back down to 68F right now but look at this temp profile, this is insane to see upper 80s at these elevations:

This always was big heat NNE and bigger dews SNE.

We do dews better too.
