Pattern July

The Rockies are awesome. At Vail for example, you’ll almost always have dewpoints in the 20s-40s in the summer. Practically a guarantee. You don’t have to worry about the wx pattern. Plus the birds to see out there are a bonus. About the hottest it usually gets there are highs in the middle 80s, but typically dewpoints are then in the 20s-30s. So, it feels fantastic. Highs are only around 80 for the hottest normal and very dry!

Here are the noon readings from the central Rockies of CO, which include areas such as Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge, and Leadville: note the dewpoints being only 21-41. Aspen, which often mimics Vail, is at 80 with a dewpoint of only 29...absolutely fabulous and this is typical. You don't have to worry if the pattern will support something like this on just about any summer day with sunshine. Note that this is a solidly warmer than normal day in CO as Denver 120 miles east of there and 3K feet lower is at 93 and headed toward 100. But even there the dewpoint is all of 27.

Larry, I was only joshing with you, and tossing some hot July humor based on that silly map with the broken observation site ... ;)

I'll be heading to North Las Vegas on business next week. Highs 104-106 all week. Don't think I have ever experienced daily high temps like that, but at least the dews will be very low. I have always heard about that "dry heat" argument. So, I will let you guys know first-hand how it compares to our heat and humidity here in the Southeast.

I was in Vegas last summer, it was.... interesting

But I'm never going back in the summer lol
 
Watch this boundary over the next 30 minutes. May get some rain going in wake and maybe back into my area

Actually there are really 3 outflow boundaries to watch the one circled, a second coming north from the SC convection today and a 3rd moving SE from the severe warned storm near GSO. If we start getting done collisions and mergers this evening the radar might heat up over the next 30-90 minutes

I have been getting a nice storm at the house for the last 30 minutes. Lots of loud thunder, rain, and some decent wind gusts. The trend continues for storms at my house to be stronger when I am not under a watch or an elevated risk.

Was this down at the airport?

Newnan's airport (not ATL).

Made it to 90*F today before storms developed earlier this afternoon.

Also, so much for the forecast yesterday, lol. The night before, the call was for Mostly Sunny skies and we ended up getting a heavy rain shower around 4pm. Other parts of Metro Atlanta had strong/severe t'storms.

Yeap just saw that. Hrrr also busted the other day with the evening storms.

Yeah and it seems like it may not do the best job with mesoscale features like outflow propagation in general.

Now the fun part with this is going to be seeing how things go the rest of the evening as this line shoots an outflow out to the east and west.

We are in a marginal with 5% wind seems about right

0.000 today! Shocking! High 95
Winning at summer! The 60s for highs will feel great next week!?

Wow that is depressing to see that's what the radar looked like right before I whiffed again in Boiling Springs. Got just enough to wet the sidewalk. I must have really pissed someone off lately!!!

We've had a high of 90F both Wednesday and yesterday here as well with close to two inches of rain between the two days. The storms Wednesday were pretty widespread and strong after our favorite radio meteorologist Kurt Millish said there was only a 30% chance of storms. Even the TWC auto generated local forecast changed to 60% the night before.

That looks fake
 
Storm actually built back enough I've picked up a quick .5

Storm to my south and one to my NE. I'm stuck in the middle with you.

That 80 DP reading seems a bit high compared to nearby stations.

Yeah I'm noticing my new weather station has tendency to be high on tds during the afternoon when the winds slacks off.

I also think I'm creating a bit of a micro climate by running the sprinklers nearly daily which is causing more ET from the yard

Pardon my ignorance but what is ET?
