50 and gales better?

Wind isn’t much today.  Maybe 10-20 mph but dying down.

[Typhoon Tip]

The low is filling as it is also moving S ... Wind dies for both reasons.  

Tomorrow might be nicer than we've been advertised.  Not warm by any measure, but we have broad sky lights opening up here in the interior N of the Pike...a trend that's likely to continue and be more pervasive tomorrow given where all's heading.

Sleet mixing in 48 degrees light rain .82” storm total

A week from now it’ll be 40 degrees warmer and humid hopefully.

Fans look like they are dressed for winter at Fenway… was shocking to see given how nice it is here.  Folks look as cold as the bats.

Full sunshine, 60s, 18% RH with dews in the teens up here.

Just left Boston, it's raw with a decent wind.

Some sleet down here too.  Interesting DP profile.

[Typhoon Tip]

Still holding a 78 to 88 ( top down)  type look from Thur - Monday ...    That occurring would certainly be a stark jolt for a region that's pinged a roasting 73 only three times since March.  

Not sure a buy the Euro's steady diet of BDs Thurs on...  Takes risk at this time of year, I know - but it appears to artificially lower maritime heights/bully in, which is a bias for that model in the mid range... That's what causes that to happen.

With dews around 70

Time to see a lot of pasty skin late next week

Strange to be hearing pinging here - surprised…

what is a snow? 

[metagraphica]

Pingers!! This is no way to run spring.

[Typhoon Tip]

These are as a result of dry air layers penetrating the rain seeded sounding. 

Evap cooling off the surface of hydro meteoroids  can cause them to freeze. It’s not the same as as a winter sounding. This occurs just about once every spring when large differentials between T and TD … having wet bulb below freezing. 

I’ve seen it do this as warm as 50 F at the sfc. Light rain with sleet pellets mixed in. Usually it happens at the onset. This now is happening as dry air invading after the fact. 

[Typhoon Tip]

00z NAM lowered ceiling RH substantially from BOS to ALB tomorrow. < 50% connotes clearing.

Its spring wx.  y'all act like you live in Alaska.. Hilarious how insecure you  folks get in spring every yr.   Carry on

[bristolri_wx]

Rain mixed with sleet, down to 41.

Good conditions to translate that to 2m warmth, too - low dews, early August sun angle, trees <5% leaf-out (a guess for Thurs-Fri; <1% currently).  That last has 2 effects, very little transpirational moisture to be heated and sun beating on the leaf litter to add warmth from below.  We hit 89 on 5/2/2001 (with zero leaf-out, as pack lasted thru 4/23); can we sniff 90 next week?

I still remember how warm it got in March 2012, well into the 80s if I remember right. It was full dead winter landscape and foliage which made it look unsettling. Oddly enough, a similar situation happens out here where we have our best chance to get the highest heat before the solstice. At that point, the westerlies have moved far enough north that we start getting moisture incursion from the gulf of Baja California and even the Gulf of Mexico depending on the pattern. With that comes the monsoon months of July, August, and September.

The GFS runs since yesterday have unfortunately been cutting down those 850 temps in ME. It even shows a backdoor hitting on saturday now, and after that the ridge looks to get gutted by the remains of that stubborn cutoff associated with the terrible conditions in SNE today. Seems the ECMWF is showing much of the same.
