  1. Thanks TK !

    00Z GFS zigs back to warmth in the long range. Likewise, at the 240 hr mark on the EURO, it shows very warm air gathering in the northern Plains. And already a not too bad 10C or so over New England at 240 hrs.

    Happy Friday to all !

  4. Thank you, also happy Friday. And we start to see a change around may 20??? When have I heard that? Was so long ago that someone said we’d see it that I having trouble recalling…..hmmmmm 😉

  5. Good morning and thank you TK.

    Was completely overcast, but now I see considerable sunshine breaking out.
    That should boost the temperature quickly, IF it stays more sunny than not.
    Even so, very mild already.

    Will it allow for thunderstorms? Ah, that is the question. 😀

  6. Red Sox are on a tear!

    Here are the main top nine players that actually bat each day:

    Bogaerts, X .331
    Bradley, J .328
    Shaw, T .320
    Ortiz, D .319
    Ramirez, H .313
    Pedroia, D .306
    Holt, B .283
    Betts, M .253
    Vazquez, C .246

    That is 6 out of 9 players are batting over 300! That is unbelievable.
    What a formidable lineup!

    This team is fun to watch and they may actually make it to the post season.

    We have a meaningful sports Summer ahead, OR so it seems.

  8. SREF is downplaying thunderstorms for Tonight and tomorrow night. I Suppose
    there is always a chance, but this is not the set up for us. 😀

  9. Thanks TK. Not bad at all outside. Last day of the semester for me. One more exam in an hour or so, and then heading home for the summer. Halfway through college 🙂

    3. Don’t be in too much of a rush to get out. When you are my age you would love to be back in college. 🙂

  10. Hey,
    The wind is still EAST at Logan. What gives? I swear it was supposed to be
    a SOUTHWEST WIND today. I can’t stand that location at all!!!

    BTW, we just had a fire drill here at the office and we were all outside.
    It ain’t no stinken 56 degrees here like it is at the facuckta airport! It is
    very near 70 here for certain and we’re only a few miles from the airport.

          1. Well, you got it correct. Not sure why I had
            SW in my mind? Perhaps it was Eric last night?
            I dunno, but I got the distinct impression it would
            be SW.

            Frankly, I am getting sick and tired of always
            having an Easterly component to the wind.

  11. Good chunk of rain to our West.
    Does it hold together as it moves Eastward? OR does it do the usual
    POOF?

  12. Any idea on the rain arrival and departure. Sure has a tropical feel here in the city as I love it.

    1. Me too. I like the higher dew points for sure. I have 74/60 at my house. In the late spring to summer, I prefer the dew point over 60.

  14. 12Z GFS has some different timing on the arrival of very warm air, but like the 00z GFS, it has some very warm air in the long range.

    I think a signal is starting to develop that 90F is possible in New England a bit before Memorial Day Weekend.

    We’ll have to see if this signal from the GFS continues and if on the 12z EURO, there’s warmth building in the northern Plains on the 23rd.

  15. Heavy, dark clouds moving in here. 72 with 59 dp and a summer feel from the get go early this am. Very nice!

  16. Wind is South everywhere, EXCEPT you guessed it, Logan Airport Of course.
    I think they have a gigantic fan sitting just off shore that perpetually blows in towards
    the airport!

    I’m a few miles from the airport and NO East wind here. Low clouds are ripping in
    from the South and SouthWest.

    Blue hill and Norwood both reporting a South Wind.

  18. 67 with 59 DP. Wind light around 5 from SSW

    For DP preference, if I have to choose, I would choose lower DP excel in those marvelous hazy crazy lazy days of summer which evoke some amazing memories from very young through …well, through feeling very young

    I’ve said before if having to pick, and always enjoying every day, my favorite weather is September 1-August 32 in that order 🙂

    And say what re Red Sox. I haven’t watched because word was on the blog that they suck…..now what do I do 🙁

    1. If I could magically multiply into a crowd of 10,000 and give you a standing ovation for this post I would do that, especially the last 2 things. 😀

      I’m not sure how anyone could think this Red Sox team sucks. Do they have deficiencies? Show me a team that doesn’t. They are the real deal. They’ll have some down days for sure, but this will be a fun team to watch this season.

  20. Has anyone seen the GQ magazine of Gronk? Geez what a superstar!!!!! Only 7 weeks till Nfl training camps take over again. We can’t wait!!!

    A gentle rain is falling currently. Very nice!

    1. I think it would have been a better cover if he had Bill Belichick on his shoulders.
