July has arrived ... the Meteorologically defined mid summer month

There's been some reports. These are pretty decent thunderstorms. Overall, ingredients for anything more than localized severe are a bit marginal. But could see a uptick in some severe potential as lapse rates are steepening and hail CAPE is pretty decent. May at least see some small hail reports and localized wind damage.

Some kind of boundary or wind shift came down from those storms and cooled everything off . It ruined chances 

We have decent breeze here from SSE, not sure if it’s adding some stable marine air from Narragansett Bay into E CT? We  were cloudy here most of the day as well.

We have an untapped environment and decent CAPE, so it’s definitely possible. Can see it picking up to the north and west.

Just enough bulk shear in place to help everything become organized, but llvl shear is pretty weak (which is a player in the FF potential) and llvl lapse rates aren't particularly steep (thanks to the extensive cloud cover today) so we really need some good cores to get damaging wind gusts.

2015/Feb into early March strung some 14 days in a row that were between 15 and 22 for a high temperature around my area of SNE.   I distinctly recall ...day after day, yup... look at the dashboard temp and there was again, 19F, for two weeks.   And the cold that late winter didn't relent in any hurry... I recall the season opener at Fenway was in the 30s!

We reached 35 on Feb 22, but that Sunday afternoon was 32+ for less than 4 hours.  Next highest max was 28.  The month had 23 subzero minima and the other five were zero, 1, 1, 4, 5.  Average max/min was 16.5/-10.0.  (Oddly, 2/15 in Fort Kent was only their 2nd coldest February, behind 1993.)
2nd coldest month here was Jan 2004 with 15.2/-4.9. 
Groundhog Day 2015 had a max of -1 with 7" powder and the next lowest max was 5°.  Jan '04 had six days with max between +1 and -8, and the 2nd coldest max, -7 on the 14th, actually failed to get above -11 during the afternoon.  Hence the lower average max.
