Still 53° off a high of 62° Just got back to Stowe from Long Island… nicest weather was LI this morning and then from your area of I-91 up through VT and this area actually was warmest. Saw some 63-64F temps up north here on car thermometer and full sun. Was funny to see highway signs of towns in western CT that many on here live in, ha. Not much green outside of LI. Merritt Parkway area wasn’t leafed out by any means. Still seemed largely stick season but some flowers and ground color about. Also learned people down there think of NH as New Hampshire not New Haven. Based on a poster’s comments here in the past I always wondered if that was a CT thing. They just thought I was still drunk from the wedding. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaStorm05 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 This can be an awkward time of year. I consider the border between gorgeous and subprime to be 68 degrees, and it has to be sunny. That line in the sand is my reference point for my below discussion. The thing is, summer-like warmth is very likely to be showing up by May 5 or so….. so it’s a situation where we are just so close, but April is still being April on years like this and the cooler momentum leftover from winter is just not quite ready to just give up the ghost. Only days, even hours away, we are so close. While there have been years when I’ve lived near the 40th parallel where we have had really cool May weather, or even snow, that is really rare and if it does happen it only lasts for a day and a half. Summer’s force takes over almost guaranteed by the third week of May The week ahead on the forecast is nasty, frankly, all the way through the forecast period. but I don’t see it that that is a guarantee it will ACTUALLY still be 60 when we get to May 1. Major pattern changes often slip in unexpectedly in the middle of the forecast period, almost like it’s bubbling up from under the surface, meaning we don’t always have to wait out an entire forecast period of nastiness just because it says we will right now. And, around the end of the forecast period is when I get to get a G gauge hobby grade train set perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those AWOSs I find a little suspect sometimes, but my first day on shift at DVN the ASOS was 84/80 when I went up to launch the balloon. So much moisture in the air that it condenses right on you when you leave the office AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or no summer time dew points in the 70s but 50 percent more winter snows? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterfish55 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Mostly sunny, 54 and climbing. Ran my irrigation yesterday to give everything a drink. I've had solar on my house for 10 years and I'm going to break my record for April production today. That's kind of nuts considering there are 5 more days in the month. April is easily my most hated weather month, but it's really not been too bad here in SEMA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably yeah. Although this year the last freeze was earlier than many years. I tickled 32 earlier in the month. But to the radiational cooling part, the guy in Hingham even closer to the water, got to 27. There is always a breeze here. I’m just stirring the pot a bit with that comment. Lol.

MVY average last freeze is 5/11 while ORH is 4/24. But if you lack radiational cooling near the water, you are going to be really early (like I think KBOS is something like 4/5 or 4/6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 14 hours ago, IowaStorm05 said: It’s below normal temperatures on a chronic wavelength. It could be worse, but we are way overdue for 75 degrees. By what metric ? - I'm not sure that is true. The average high is 63 right now ...averaging most/et al. So +12 is a couple standard deviations above normal, which by convention of statistical inference means it is relatively rare ... Not sure that is consistent with over due, considering recent spring spanning the last decade. There have in fact been an unusually large number of them hosting +2 to even 4 SD warm departures. And it has been at or close to mid 70s on to two separate occasions in the last 45 days - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthCoastMA Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I think as you get into May, my interest in getting snow receives a slight uptick, for historical reasons. Like, sign me up for 2" on May 6th vs 2" on April 6th. Other than that, give me warmth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much moisture in the air that it condenses right on you when you leave the office AC. I wonder ... what were the hydrostatic heights at those times ? Suppose it were 576 dam, which is pretty fantastic for 42 or so N, such as Iowa's latitude, no doubt! It seems to me, here in New England a 572 dam is a typical co-metric when/if the temperature makes the early 90s, and that's typically a DP of 65-ish. I wonder if there is more typical 500 mb to surface hydrostatic depth that is in place - like an average graph. I'm integrating a science method with a question, and should just ask the question: are those 80 DP well mixed? The problem is, the geography out there is bit unique with human presence and activities. Cooking farmed land with fairly evolve hyrdo tech keeping the surface soils moist ( corn is biggie! ) may artificially inflate those DPs ... prior to a well/better mixing. Typically when 'big heat' evolves out there, there is a capping mid level ridge...and by construct circumstance ...that means lighter winds. So theta-e pooling ...maybe just within 500 feet of the ground too - I wonder if that get's carried down stream by a light wind field ..20 ...30 or even 50 miles, then a miasma wafts passed these station sites. Maybe a scatter plot would suggest that if an 80+ DP is being measured, and it exceeds the "typical" 500 mb hydrostatic depth, it's not "synoptically" legit.
