when will the northeast get its first below average month since last november?

It’s pretty impressive. We keep bumping the normals up every 10 years yet we still find a way to keep these AN streaks going.

Cool graphical look at how wild that 96/80 max/min was at BTV compared to the record books.  Red dot is Wednesday’s temps compared to the data set going back to 1883.

The purple dot next to it is 7/2/2018 when it was 97/80.

I tell ya the poor beech trees have really taken a beating these last few years with that disease going around and of course all this moisture up until recently has been decimating a good number of them in our area. Thankfully, we have a pretty good variety of trees in our heavily wooded area but I feel for those who aren’t as lucky. I can’t help but wonder if that dreaded term climate change is playing a role in some of these anomalies or if perhaps people are just more aware of their surroundings due to social media and those observations are being relayed at an ever faster pace, creating the illusion of doom and gloom. I’ll let the actual experts around here fill in the rest of the devilish details.

Beech in NNE are already stressed by beech bark disease, a combo of fungus and scale insect (both imported) which can destroy timber and beechnut value and eventually kill the tree.  The leaf disease is another straw on the camel's back.  Beech is the key species for bear in Maine, as oaks are sparse to absent in the state's northerly 2/3 where most bears live.  The sows breed at 2-year intervals and following a big beechnut crop they produce lots of triplets and quads, some quints.  Few beechnuts, twins at best.

Low 60s with light rain, perfect garden watering though .75-1" would be nicer than the 1/4" so far today.  Grandkids in SNJ are facing mid-upper 90s with HI 105+.

The way the SPC was talking tomorrow looks higher end somewhere. 

I don't know if we will see this with the new D2 but if the trends continue, I think we will see a 10% TOR somewhere. 

Now, it is important to note mlvl lapse rates aren't great which is going to scale things back to some degree. But what that probably means is the threat for higher-end, widespread severe is diminished. What we need to watch for, however, is dewpoint pooling. If we can pool dewpoints to 74-76 that will compensate some for the weak lapse rates.

In 2019 here 11 of 12 months were below my average, all but July.  In the 54 months since then, including this one as only a week of 50° RA could drag the temp BN, 43 (79.6%) have been AN.  If we had the full 1991-2020 averages for our site instead of May 1998 forward, the imbalance would've been even greater, as 92-94 (the Pinatubo years) and 96 were all BN.

Mesoscale Discussion 1371
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1111 AM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024

   Areas affected...central into eastern NY...CT...RI...western and
   central MA

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 221611Z - 221815Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

   SUMMARY...Storm coverage to increase with a corresponding uptick in
   intensity expected 1-4pm EDT (17-20 UTC).  Widely scattered 50-65
   mph gusts capable of wind damage will be the primary threat. 
   Marginally severe hail (0.75 to 1.25 inches in diameter) may occur
   with the strongest cell.  An upgrade to Slight Risk is forthcoming
   in the 1630 UTC Day 1 Convective Outlook.

   DISCUSSION...The 12 UTC (8am EDT) Albany, NY raob showed a very
   moist profile with PW 1.94 inches and weak lapse rates.  Around 500
   J/kg MLCAPE was noted in this observed sounding.  Visible-satellite
   imagery shows an agitated cumulus field over central and eastern NY
   to the south of a few ongoing thunderstorms.  A stratus deck is
   observed over the eastern half of MA into RI, and this stratus
   loosely corresponds with the placement of a west-northwest to
   east-southeast oriented stationary front.  Additional heating since
   this morning's raob at Albany (1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE likely at
   midday) has contributed to a destabilizing airmass from central NY
   east-southeast into CT to the south of the stationary front.  

   Of particular note compared to yesterday, slightly stronger 1-6 km
   westerly flow (20-35 kt) is observed at the WSR-88D KENX VAD
   (Albany).  This slight enhancement to westerly flow coupled with
   MLCAPE rising into the 1500-2000 J/kg range and near 2 inches PW,
   will probably favor a small cluster or two developing over the next
   several hours.  As this thunderstorm cluster matures, it seems
   plausible a focused area for 50-65 mph gusts and potential widely
   scattered wind damage may occur from the Hudson Valley into MA/CT
   and perhaps as far east as RI.

Still cloudy here in E CT, only 78, think the main action could be further SW from here unless we see some clearing soon

Wow, we're up to 86 down here.  Granted the sun was out in full force from 9 until noon (right when I was out weeding the garden).  High clouds now.

I am probably 25 miles to your NE and they are hanging in pretty good, suns trying to break through

I think that's referred to in physical parlance as 'acceleration'

LOL

just kidding there but sort of true  ...

anyway, someone mentioned warm frontal thunder - looks like that's a good call along Rt 2 at present hour

Was down just east of ORH at Indian Meadows between 9 and noon ... humid and cloudy at 68 with hints of mist. I get home to see that 20 minutes west it's 80s.  This is a BD invasion into a heat wave pure and simple.

West of Ayer?   60s
