Probably more likely to see the low 40s late morning with some deeper mixing. So I won’t take that bet. It’ll have to be an official ASOS dew too. Not your Davis with spring water flowing out beneath it. 

His dew always runs 3 to 4 above. IJD is his closest station but ORH BDL IJD average would represent the true air mass

He still doesn’t understand how this works after all these years?  The dew point scales of how stuff feels and model data is based off the ASOS dews.

Well actually he does know it works, he has to, and just tries to hide behind his dews, ha.

I totally get it and the Mets agree. You don’t use an airport which is surrounded by jet exhaust and blacktop and 100% sun to verify dews. It seems like it’s you that doesn’t get it. The dew is representative of the environment. Why would my dew in the hills surrounded by grass , deep woods and country be as low as an airport? Why would yours be as low at BTV Mac? This is not hard to follow man

Its about relative to how dew points have been looked at over time and compared.  And in the larger meteorological context of model data and observations.  Will has explained this to you numerous times each summer lol.

Yes, your backyard dew has always been higher even when you didn’t know it.  When you used to start to feel it get a little humid 10-20 years ago and you turned on TWC to watch the “Local on the 8s”, you’d see an airport showing 61F for a Td.  Oh right, makes sense, they say anything over 60F starts to feel humid, it says 61F.

The whole time you were doing that your backyard was probably 65-66F but you just didn’t know it.

So when the local news pops this graphic up, as they have for decades, it is based on the ASOS system.

They should make a new one up for your home stations but just add 5F to each level.  Comfortable on a home station is up to 65F, or ASOS of 60F, etc.

You still up at the lake? I’m in the shadows already and it’s time for a hoodie. 
 

66/51 but I see LCI has dipped into the 40s already. It feels like early September. 

It’s freaking September here. Gales at the lake.

Many people with boats can’t even get slips at or near Winni -Disastah

It was crazy.  Granted we didn’t see a lot of it and we were only in the area between Weir’s Beach and the concert venue in Gilford but it didn’t look relaxing at all.

That's probably the busiest part of the lake, but winni is largely a disaster on the weekends. There's plenty of quiter areas, but for the most part the boat traffic is insane.
