but serious, i'm curious what you are seeing? #study #studentoflife #praisegod

The 12z had that insane blocking north of the Aleutians in goober range. No way it verifies, but it’s a sign of lengthening wavelengths and the fact they allow for more truly meridional patterns.

Same reason we are capable of hot weather in September. Large blocking highs with very warm temps aloft formed by decreasing wavenumbers

Definitely. That plus the longer nights and better recoveries inland which make it easier for higher surface pressures inland.

Wouldn't that cause more westerlies at the sfc tho?

Got up to 90 today after a low of 61.  Definitely seeing some haze looking at the hill by my house, so I'm guessing smoke has made it into the area.  I am very ready for this heat to be over.  Started building a new deck today, and even though I used a towable auger and only had to do 8 holes, the heat wiped me out. 

 

Hoping for a cool 2nd half of August when we finish it up.

How is the flooding in your area?

It was well to our south. I might end up with average rainfall for July while folks in southeastern Kentucky had a foot of rain in 3-4 days. 

So I'm fine ;)

I just can't get over how badly that cutoff low screws up the pattern evolution.  Still going to get much cooler, but that makes it take considerably longer and potentially ruins the prospects for another major trough during week 2.

At least the worst of it will be over after tomorrow, but still...

It's a complicated progression.  Let's hope we catch a break.

Heat makes everything harder to do.  The odds are against a cool August, but at least it's still possible.

Just can’t catch a break. Feels like this heat wave will never end.

Well atleast we’re going downhill from here on the heatwave…days are getting shorter too. Just another 4-6 weeks and we will be moving into the first fall systems :) 

No doubt that when we get to August our house gets much less hot with the lower sun angles and longer nights.

The end will happen when the northern branch trough finally digs in.  That F...ing cutoff low ruined the onshore blast that had been slated for Monday just a couple of days ago, though.

Yeah by this time of year the suns going down behind the trees across the street at like 7:30…so it starts feeling better. It’s just lame during the peak of the sun angles when the sun is beating down on my apartment from 2-8pm.

At least the sun angles will be lower. 

 

All seriousness aside, I realized pretty early on that I started the day dehydrated, and there is no getting caught back up in this kind of heat.  When we get going on the next phase, I definitely make sure I am well hydrated beforehand.

It wasn't meant to be.   There are bigger drivers of the pattern.  

One of the warmest Julys in history at SEA.    Crazy.

Just no denying the 4CH / North American Ridge has become more dominant this century than it was before.  That makes it much harder for the Pacific High (which has been powerful at times this summer) to squash the 4CH.  The pesky cutoff low that is going to delay the real flood of cool air is the result of a very powerful GOA / Pacific High simply being unable to easily squash the continental high.  As much as I hate say / admit it I think our summer climate has changed to a different mode. 

At least the winters have actually improved from where they were 20 years ago.

I just hate it when a detail ruins things like this.  The large scale pattern looks fabulous all of next week, but that cutoff low really trims back the potential for what could have been a very cool week.
