I bet by this time next year, we dive right into la nina.

Pretty sure LOT will end up confirming at least several tornadoes from yesterday, as Illinois continues to march toward 200 confirmed for the year.

I mean I've seen way worse. Average high here right now is 87. so this ain't terrible and likely we avoid the triple digits for the third year in a row.

Ya the block is strong and sending the NAO tanking. I'll take the cooler weather while it last. Unfortunately the 12z GFS is heating up in the long range so I think the heat will be slightly delayed but not denied.

its hazy (AQI 94) but not terrible. we are in the zone between the huge fires in North Central WA and the ones down in Oregon. Smoke is above and below us. that'll change when this dry cold front comes thru this weekend and the winds go N/NW and the smoke will fill back in. oof
