This is hot for the Everett area. This heat seems to be persistent with no real drop in the near future. After the eighties it remains in the high seventies. Gross. Wish we'd get some rain after the fourth of July.
Phil can poke fun at the "blue maps" all he wants, but the fact is that the LR models have consistently been overdoing warmth, and that hasn't changed.
Latest case in point...
EPS 5 day mean from 6/27 for days 8-12.
And latest EPS for same time frame, now within much more likely verification range.
If the LR ensembles had been right since late May, the US would be absolutely destroying the warmest summer on record. Reality has been a bit more reasonable. For some reason, Phil doesn't like me pointing that out.
