Another summer weather phenomenon has appeared in the past few days: clouds of mosquitoes. Good thing I recently installed insect nets on windows. It's quite impossible to stay still outdoors without repellent, they're relentless.
Excellent summary by Matt regarding current Sattelite!
Visible satellite - astounding display of unstable vs. stable air - puffy clouds vs. none/flat. The puffy, cumulus clouds represent unstable air where thunderstorms may grow (the very largest represent ongoing thunderstorms now). Storms are much less likely in the stable air, represented by no clouds in some areas, and a flat, marine deck of clouds the farther northeast one is.

Thanks for the map. Interesting temperature contrast in New England / Northern NY State. Northern New England is covered with low lying clouds, keeping temperatures cool (as your map showed). Easterly air flow. The immediate coast of Long Island / southern New England is relatively cool, humid and fog bound.
