850mb temps approaching 40°C over central Nebraska this run.

Pretty sure that would obliterate all time records.

Was this the dominant pattern during the dust bowl?

Probably, or at least something similar. 40C 850's means absolutely roided mixing provided by near zero soil moisture and a mammoth ridge.

This looks like a poor man’s version of it, yeah. Similar large scale pattern.

Cappucci has me blocked for a reason I can't even begin to guess

77/53 today. Down to 76 now and the west wind is picking up.

The forest fire near Lytton has grown to over 3500ac.   6 homes are reported lost.   Hard to believe that could happen again to that area so soon.

This is not okay, I can't imagine the literal hell those folks are going through.

I don't think you understand how much I envy the weather you've had. Severe risks every day? I haven't seen more than one lightning bolt since last August!

Yeah the first 9 days this month we were under some sort of a severe risk then we had a couple day break before the last 3 days under a severe threat again. So 12 days so far this month. Pretty incredibly stretch, wish I could send some CAPE your way!

That massive central CONUS ridge resulting in consistent SW flow along with high soil moisture driving the PWAT, Montana has been finding itself in the airmass battle ground all month.

A significant part of that was the farming practices at the time, which today are of course different.

69° drizzle!!

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Back home in Springfield and it’s 85F and beautiful. Warm but not too hot. Pleasant summer weather.

Seaside had some of the best weather I’ve ever had at the Oregon Coast. Was a very emotional and fun trip. I don’t get to take very many vacations.

Figured you hadn’t de-winterized at all this year given all the emojis so far.

Mt Si Golf Course restaurant is one of the best spots in the valley on summer nights.  Highly recommend... great food and fun atmosphere.

Beautiful day. Nice to see the snow pack holding on thru mid July too.

In all serious, the next person I deem worthy will be donned with that image in their sidebar.

SEA is only at 76... and with a west wind gusting to 17.     Almost calm out here... lake is flat.  

It figures I missed a nice day back home today. It was raining and mid 60s where we’re camping near Campbell River, BC. Usually perfect and not too hot weather at home will mean systems just missing to the north into BC, and that’s what happened today. Oh well, tomorrow should be better up here, and Sunday should be full sun here vs. what could be a marine layer day at home.

 

Also, @ShawniganLakethis is a beautiful area up here. We’re looking across the strait to Quadra Island from our campsite. Glad we are seeing more of the island other than just Vic.

Way more blue.  

00Z GEM and 00Z ICON did not have a big shift like that... so have to wait and see if it becomes a trend across all the models or if the ECMWF goes in that direction.

Phil might just be right…Again. 

[Phil]

The GEFS seems to have trended weaker with the western ridge over the last 24hrs. Let’s see if it continues.

Pretty hard to bet against Phil for sure.   

FWIW... the 00Z GFS is very different than the 00Z GEFS for late next week.     Which is something Phil has pointed out many times when it goes the other way.

Euro precip through the next couple days. Not bad for entering into the 2nd half of July (and meteorological summer)

[TacomaWx]

Euro continues to not be bad at all throughout the next week. Plenty of days with nice weather and comfortable temps factoring in the cool bias of course.
