Last year’s highest was also that ridiculous May heatwave where even like SLK was 93F or 95F. BTV and CAR hit like 95-97? Much nicer up here but still mid-summer heat. Feels 80F even at over 3,000ft. 86.9° for the high on my PWS. That’s also the high for the year. Looks pleasant there. I was out in the williwacks of Groton State Forest trying to lay out a new snowmobile trail. I’m lucky to be alive after the ferocious black fly swarming I suffered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAR reached 91 last May and the next day's 90/69 tied 5/23/77 for mildest minima. The earlier date had 95/69 while the day before tied 6/28/44 for CAR's top temp ever at 96. Tied it again last June 19 in a 95/96/93 heat wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh right I’m mistaking those two heat waves... the May and June ones. I think it was the June one BTV hit 97F. That was a crazy stretch in May and June last year.

Damage In Tolland Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Truly amazing how dry it’s gotten. After two nice rainers in the first 10 days of the month we’ve all gone to nothing . Now with trees soaking up all the ground moisture from water table , lawns are like desert floors. I decided I’d seed a few trouble areas in the lawn this evening since it’s been bothering me . I dug up some nice rich soil near the woods that was an old compost pile from previous owners. I dug down at least 8-10 inches and it’s just dry dust with no moisture content . Watering newly planted flowers and seeds everyday in May just seems awfully early . And modeling offering little to no hope thru day 10. Sell those showers Mem Day weekend you’d think with the HP up over the Maritimes . Suppressed over mid atl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torch Tiger Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Special times. Wednesday and Thursday... Some uncertainty out in this timeframe with respect to troughs timing and amplitude for mid to late in the week. This will bring the next shot of rainfall to southern New England as a front moves through. Right now it appears that the timing will be late on Wednesday into Thursday. Vastly different output from the deterministic guidance with much wetter GFS solution and drier ECMWF/GEM solution. Have leaned on the NBM given the differences, which keeps chances of precipitation. Am fairly confidence in the warmth on Wednesday given good model agreement in thermal fields. High temperatures in the 80s to low 90s. Cools down on Thursday as the NBM has the front pass through. Highs in the 70s to low 80s. && Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Kind of bummed, MVL and MPV only hit 89F officially. It deserved 90F... the 5-minute data showed 90F but the rounding in the temperature conversion from C to F causes some false obs? I know Dendy has explained it so many times. Anyway, looks like the official 00z highs are: LEB... 92F BML... 91F BTV... 90F IZG... 89F MVL... 89F MPV... 89F FIT... 88F MHT... 88F RUT... 87F HIE... 87F CON... 87F DDH... 86F BDL... 84F ORH... 82F BOS... 82F HFD... 81F IJD... 81F LEW... 77F PWM... 69F 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdxken Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 A very warm weekend is in store for much of the region at least away from the immediate south coast. While most of the weekend will be dry; a few brief showers/thunderstorms are possible during the afternoon and evening hours. A few strong to severe storms are possible Sunday afternoon into the evening with potentially a brief significant impact for mariners. More seasonable temperatures to start next week, but the warmth returns by mid week. Next shot of showers is late on Wednesday into Thursday. A little something for everyone.

Seems like one of those deals where once the sun gets high enough it burns some of that mid level stuff away . You can already see a bunch of breaks. So maybe it averages out partly sunny by afternoon. Gotta be a reason why hi res all showing 88-91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
