What's truly mind-blowing is that in only 50 years temperatures have increased by that much whereas they've been mostly stable for 10s of 1000s of years prior to that.
Crazy warm SSTs off the East Coast. Could see some homegrown tropical systems later this season. And with all that ridging some of them could be steered west.
Models go for another strong ridge after the holiday but it's centered SW of us vs directly over and then it retros west.
If that holds true then we'll avoid another 100+ stretch.
