I mean this specific run, but obviously it's an outlier.

Meh, we need to cool it on that comparison. It isn’t really close yet. If it keeps amplifying as we approach, maybe. But for now, a hot heatwave. Next weekend has been the target for over a week now on ensembles.

It looks kinda similar to June 2021 tbh.

This 500 mb pattern is easily an upper 90 temp profile.

69/52 today looking forward to some rain tomorrow and over the next couple days. Unfortunately the system early next week doesn’t look too impressive kind of weak and splitty.
