Honestly, I think we finally get the west plains centered area of drought and the ridge I've looked for out west this season. I think we are going to have a difficult time getting large scale heat to setup over anywhere in the interior south to say ENE through maybe the Appalachian region.
There's a lot of evidence supporting strong tropical intrusions later in the year and that has me concerned if I'm honest. Those threats look like they'll be confined to maybe TX/LA and the eastern seaboard.
While maybe slightly overblown in my opinion, the record tropical forecasts have a lot of backing but are balanced against what appears go be a raging warm west Pacific. This may mean nothing, but in my mind it causes troughing or instability as far as the US as long as the temp profiles over the Bering Sea hold and we continue through right interactions with PDO/AO. Launching typhoons in that environment almost ensures that we won't see unbroken heat over the whole of N. America.
Those are my ramblings at first thought. This one has really started off unique. April set the all-time state tornadoes record@55 and May has set some good marks for rainfall, so we are in a bit of an uncharted territory for climo Niña in those areas.
It’s a drizzly and breezy evening out there. Temps in the low 50s. Can hear the wind and rain blowing through the fully leaved trees. Kinda cozy sleeping weather.
Starting to eye mid-June as our next shot at some rainfall and troughing after tomorrow. Although the ridgy period is looking pretty tolerable at the moment.
I don’t think he fell from much height just an awkward landing that blew his knee out.
I have fallen off a ladder at work a few times, but was never injured more than some bumps and bruises. It’s been awhile since I’ve fallen now, probably just getting more cautious in my older years.
