Kayla Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 It has more or less continued down through the southwest. The continental divide runs through New Mexico. Tomayto/Tomahto. It runs through NM and along the boarder of AZ so it's not exactly right along the divide in the SW as I mentioned. Obviously wave lengths aren't going to follow in a vertical line so that graphic still looks pretty accurate.

Phil Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Home station approaching #50, even with the much cooler weather in late July/August. Also have recorded 81 days with heat indices at/above 90*F, 67 days with heat indices at/above 95*F, 34 days with heat indices at/above 100*F, 19 days with heat indices at/above 105*F, and 4 days with heat indices at/above 110*F. Should finish with between 60-70 days at/above 90*F, and probably 110-120 days with heat indices at/above 90*F. Also, I haven't observed a dewpoint above 80*F yet, which is interesting since 6/7 most recent summers have reached at least 82*F by now. Hopefully this continues to be the case.

Anti Marine Layer Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Aside from the PNW heat wave, it seems pretty much the whole United States has had periods of unseasonably deep troughs and cool temperatures throughout the month of August.

Phil Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 So, all of the Wunderground and WxBug stations around my home station recorded dewpoints between 82*F and 86*F this afternoon, and mine topped out at 80.1*F. I wonder if my new sensor is reading too low with the humidity. Either way, I'm glad I'm not home right now. Talk about a miserable day.

Phil Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Almost a foot of rain in 3 weeks probably has something to do with the dewpoints today.

Sep13TDeptSERCC.pngCorrect, however I'm just talking about when our summer weather pattern (Bermuda High) terminates. September 2013 still featured a heatwave, and was a swampy/humid month overall with warm overnight lows/cool daytime highs. So, it doesn't really meet the criteria I'm looking for, despite running cool overall. It's been awhile since we've transitioned out of our Bermuda High circulation in August, so I'm actually skeptical that it really happens this way.

Phil Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Looks like back home topped out at 96/77 this afternoon. We might be able to avoid 95*F+ highs for the remainder of 2017 given this MJO periodicity, but that won't preclude the influx of humid tropical air masses, with Atlantic/Gulf SSTs still in the 80s and 90s.

Phil Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 We haven't touched 90*F since 8/22. It has truly been an incredible run of beautiful weather, during what is usually our most swampy time of year. We've still seen dewpoints in the low/mid 70s at times, but that is easily tolerable compared to what this climate is capable of. If we don't hit 90*F tomorrow, then it will probably be our earliest final 90*F+ day since at least 2004, as the upcoming surge of tropical moisture and clouds/convection will keep daytime highs down.

We've still seen dewpoints in the low/mid 70s at times, but that is easily tolerable compared to what this climate is capable of.
