Shawnigan ain’t kidding about the Canadian firestorms. Smoke is so thick the 2pm sun is barely making it through. I thought it was overcast.

But it’s all elevated above the boundary layer this time, so actually a beautiful day. Feels like Seattle!

With the exception of TX/Gulf, there is basically no extreme heat over the CONUS on guidance. 4CH goes back to its suppressed state, as it was in June/early July.

As long as the -AO develops as modeled, mid-latitude blocking highs/heat domes should have trouble establishing. Exception might be TX/deep south, where heat tends to build when there is troughing to the north.

I probably wouldn’t go so far as to say dreadful but the gray definitely gets tiresome in the winter.  I think I’d like Colorado and can see relocating there someday. Lots of interesting weather with more sun. 

No water... ruins it for me!

It's a little disappointing the NWS website is doing upgrades and the observation hasn't updated since 11am yesterday but I'm noticing clouds in my area and the radar (as of 6:44am) shows showers coming up from the South. No lightning at this time but the SPC shows a marginal risk of thunderstorms today. Maybe we could see a little action today ?⛈️
