I got grazed by some noisy thunderstorms this morning. The 3km NAM brings a line of storms through tonight around midnight some of which maybe severe.

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.
