I guess I just balked at that upper level pattern providing 7-10 days of summer heat, 80s to near 90F.

For his NW flow ring-of-fire he’s talking about, I want to see ridging in the Ohio Valley, forcing energy over it before accelerating SE through New England… not below normal heights there on a 5-day mean.

I just interpret a NW heater flow as something else on the “charts”… not SW moist flow mixed with some post-FROPA air masses.

This is the exact opposite of having lower heights to our SW.

Agreed, I don't think it's a true ring of fire setup. 

I think though temperatures would be much warmer and dewpoints much higher than you would first expect just looking at the H5 configuration.

Today's been a shock to the system... temps are struggling through the 50s to get to 60F today.

Pretty chilly considering it's not raining.

Yeah, hasn't been a great day.  Breezy at times too.

A few weeks back I thought the NAM was out-to-lunch and got taken to school...this time I'm going to buy the NAM and it will probably be wrong.

Actually even a bit of a "sunrise surprise" scenario across southern CT, RI, and SE MA. Some decent llvl instability with steep lapse rates and adequate shear present. Nice surge of theta-e air.

Although late-afternoon dust storms and light drizzle in New Delhi had brought hope of some reprieve on Wednesday, the weather station at Mungeshpur, northwest of the capital, reported a recording of 126 degrees around 2:30 p.m. Dr. Kuldeep Srivastava, a scientist at the regional meteorological center in Delhi, said it was the highest temperature ever recorded by the automatic weather monitoring system, which was installed in 2010.

In a statement later on Wednesday evening, India’s meteorological department said the Mungeshpur station was “an outlier compared to other stations.” It said it was assessing whether that station’s recording of a higher temperature than other stations around Delhi was due to an error or a local mitigating factor.

The previous record for the highest temperature, around 48 degrees Celsius — about 118.5 Fahrenheit — was repeatedly crossed in recent days. Three of New Delhi’s weather stations reported temperatures of 49.8 degree Celsius — 121.8 degrees Fahrenheit — or higher on Tuesday, setting a new record even before the 52.3 degree reading on Wednesday afternoon.

For weeks now, temperatures in several states in India’s north have reached well over 110 degrees, and hospitals have been reporting an uptick in cases of heatstroke. In the Himalayan states, hundreds of forest fires have been reported.

Lots of tiny green silk worms this year hanging in silky threads all over .Eating a good amount of the Oaks. Little tiny crap all over the cars hoods and roofs. And the Oaks are loaded with acorns based on little limbs coming down . Massive crop this fall. Disaster coming

We have those too. I’ve seen them crawling and also laying dead on the driveway and cars.. but these silk worms are different. They are tiny and blow out of the Oaks and they hang from these very thin silk webs. When you walk , it feels like you’re walking into a spiderweb. They’re everywhere. And they drop these little tiny black balls of crap when they shit . Smaller than the Gypsy moths. They’re not defoliating .. but almost every Oak leaf of all species are eaten to some degree. Whether it’s a few holes in the leaf , or most of the leaf is gone.
