Yeah. I'm afraid this thing has a future home in your backyard at a later date. 

When the deluge came here awhile back it was what they call "drought rain", by old school methodology. You could just kind of tell it was done for a bit.

Finding things to be happy about here in that map. Bathtub of warming water in and around the Aleutians "should" be great.

Having this splendid weather almost at mid July is amazing. Right now, dew is at 44F w a temp of 68F and not a cloud to be found. Just phenomenal.

Well, almost 8pm and it’s 101.  
You know it’s hot when the temps won’t drop at night.  

I haven’t seen a wild creature or even a bird in a week.  They’ve all vacated to the lake.   I had a lizard at the back door a few days as if asking for water. I do keep it out there for them and feral cats, birds.  
Really rough right now.  
 

Grass fires west of me for 2nd night in a row.

Also, with the sun down it’s still 101 @ 8:30.
we have a breeze and it’s strange. It almost feels cool.  
Crazy freakin’ weather.

Summer corn dew season is here. We have the highest dew point in the state, 72 degrees. You can almost watch the corn grow before your eyes. It is starting to put off a lot of water. Tomorrow will be brutal. Short reprieve early next week, then NWS Hastings says a prolonged heat wave with very little to no rain for the next few weeks.

We can just hang it up for the next 2 weeks.  
Forecast has us sitting between 80 Low and 102 High.  
Yeah, that’s about it.   
A month of 100* + temps!  
This is just plain rough.

Today was most likely the coolest day in July, 74/67!

Good run on precip, pretty sure July is already up to average, with 22 more days left. But remind mother nature that does not mean I don't want it to storm anymore.. :P

I talked to my uncle in Mt airy Md yesterday  and hes had less than .90 this month. He eeked out .65 yesterday, his crops are suffering  how far in that from you @Phil?

That’s about 40 miles north of here. Love that area. A much cooler climate than here, with more snowfall and more wind. When it’s 90°F here it’s often ~ 85°F up there.

In the summer we get the lee-trough induced afternoon wind switch to S/SE most days, which draws in the bay/river breeze front and pumps humidity right in here.

Where-as Mt. Airy usually keeps the westerly winds and is better mixed w/ lower humidity.

What a gift from nature, right?  Just amazing wx to be had in the middle of Summer.  Had a high of 76F and deep blue skies along with a nice stiff NE wind off the lake.  Great bon fire weather.  The way I see it for the rest of summer is our region will escape much of the prolong heat waves that will form.  I'm sure we'll see more 90's but transient wx and a return to a more active stretch the following week as a NW Flow pattern arrives...the return of the "Ring of Fire".  

In terms of the Monsoon, it will fire right back up later this week as tropical moisture gets infused into the pattern.  Both GEFS/EPS showing the mean ridge to meander right over the S Plains which allows the southerly flow to return on the backside of this long term long wave feature.  

What about our Sub???  IMHO, those of us N of say, the I-80 corridor and points east into the GL's will be experiencing a NW Flow aloft allowing for several fronts to pass through starting later next weekend into the following week.  I see a more active pattern developing.  Models will eventually pick up on this as we get closer in time.

The big clue why I see the NW Flow returning Week 3 & 4 of the month is a flip back towards a -EPO and +PNA.  Surprisingly, all the models are in agreement.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit...

I experienced 114 degree heat last year with the historic heatwave in the PNW. I do not care to experience it again.

The Euro seems more realistic with temp though it's still hot also.  It does look like we will see triple digit heat which sucks.

Good Sunday Morning!

Another sunny day in Texas. 
Heading for 103.  I’ve lost track of how many days we’ve had over 100*.  It’s just a blur of heat rays off the ground.  

Heat index around 112*

2 More Weeks of 100-104 forecasted for No Texas  

Yup!

First rain I get I’m going to go dance in it!!  🤠🎸🎼🎶

Yesterday was another great summer day with an official H/L of 80/55. There was once again no rain fall and 99% of possible sunshine. While the sunshine has been great it continues to be rather dry. For today the average H/L has reached the highest for the 30 year average with an average H/L of 83/63 and it will stay at that 83/63 until July 31st for the new 15 year average the average is now at 84/64 and that will stay the same until July 27th so this is on average the warmest days of the year at Grand Rapids. The overnight low in MBY was 52 and at the current time with clear skies it is 60. While there is a chance of some showers on Monday night there also may not be any. The rest of the week looks very dry and as is the case with dry conditions there can be some very warm to hot days with highs in the 80’s and lows ranging from the upper 50’s to the upper 60’s

Not only has it been rather dry there continues to be a thunderstorm drought. At Grand Rapids there were only 4 thunderstorms in June (remember the term thunderstorm for this purpose can mean only one detected lightning flash in the area) and there has only been one reported "thunderstorm" so far in July at Grand Rapids. That one did indeed have some moderate lightning with it.

Had a cold front earlier this week, the high today expected to be 96°F.

 

There was really big storms over Central Oklahoma that day. A microburst over Oklahoma City, and parts of the city got up to 3.5 inches of rain

Me? I got absolutely nothing. :(

As of 1:30 pm, 98 degrees with a heat index of 108 and a 70 dew. On our way to 104 with heat index possibly 110 or higher. Absolutely disgusting outside. My wife was going to take a walk, went outside and said not today. Days like this is, are why I love fall and winter. I can’t imagine living in this for a lot of the year as many in the south experience.

Currently 91 with a DP of 77. Topped out at 98 with a heat index of an eye-wattering 119 degrees. Not a fan.

As CentralNeb said, you can't do anything in this weather. It's one of those days where you quickly walk from the AC house to the AC car to the AC store and back.

Nebraska summers are definitely hot and humid, but the south is on a completely different level. 93/74 is no fun here, but that's just a regular summer day in Memphis. And when it's in the upper 90s/triple digits there, dews will usually be above 75.

I really hate to say this, but the models are being worryingly consistent for EXTREME temperatures by the end of July, it could reach up to 110*F in Northern Texas by that time.
 

College Station, TX reached 111*F today.

I'm really digging the latest model trends for the this coming Fri-Sun over the Upper MW/GL's as the models suddenly are picking up on the NW flow around the periphery of the Heat Dome across the C/S Plains.  0z EPS showing a short wave diving down south out of the prairies of S Canada into the Upper MW on Fri.  Interestingly, this is happening right when the +PNA pops, usually suggesting an amplified flow for the CONUS.  You can see the trends off the GEFS over the past 6 runs driving the NW Flow pattern into the MW/GL's instead of the "flatter" pattern it was suggesting a couple days ago.

The result is a chance for precip this coming weekend and more seasonal temps instead of the Heat pushing east....another note is the signal for a stalled frontal boundary right over the ag belt KS/NE/MO/IA during the Sun/Mon period.

0z EPS cooling the 16th-21st period near the eastern Sub...not as blow torch as in recent runs...prob seeing the wetter pattern??

Current run...

I woke up to a line of severe storms on my doorstep, but the line faded quickly as it moved into Cedar Rapids.  The airport, south of the city, got heavier stuff.  It's pretty tame here.

The same area, from the CR airport down to Iowa City, has been hit hard repeatedly since late June.  It's even backbuilding down there again.  I wish the luck could be spread out a bit.

A severe thunderstorm warning was issued here. Heavy rain and gusty winds rolled through. Its still coming down.  I forgot to empty my gauge, so I won’t be able to accurately tell how much though. Nice surprise this morning though. Especially considering the forecast is mostly hot and dry this week.
