Could potentially go 14+ days with no precip. Even with the smoke today, it was beautiful. It definitly has been feast or famine precip wise the past few months. It hasn't rained often but when it has, 3 inches+ has fallen 3 different times in less than a few hours, when rain chances were forecasted at 30%.

Yep, my dad likes to fish and keeps his boat in the water from mid-April through mid-October

pathetic try again next time dexter morgan

smoke has been an every summer occurrence for years now.

We got Dexter.

Hi Res NAM shows pockets of 6+

Orange skies and sun

Won’t be long until 95L is a TC.

The air quality and smoke has been something this season. So many hazy orange evenings on the mountain. The sun is just this orange crisp disk in the sky.

Boats are only worth it if you love fishing. Fishing season starts in April and runs through early December. Peole with boats, who don’t fish, barely use them and just waste money.

"do the dew" yes Dr. Dew approved

Days shortening quickly now. Christmas is right around the corner, and with the lack of sunlight/short days, it'll FLY by!

Dexter coming at 11

Good thing I left Saturday.

Crazy how this forest fire season hasn't been worse. We've been so dry here in the Hebgen Basin/Yellowstone area.

Nice orange-red smoke moon tonight.

I am considering it a weak La Niña. If you follow my blog that would be clear....just like I considered last year borderline moderate. All I am saying is that the ONI is one factor that should weigh in to how heavily you factor that indicator. I'm not using the CPC definition of a La Niña to forecast a big winter or anything....but I think it would give me pause in using that rule as my primary rationale for going with another death-star of a season. I think seasonal forecasters in general (not directed at you) need to be mindful of being a bit more nuanced and less rigid in their forecasting conceptualizations.

Perhaps you missed my many subsequent posts in which my outlook on summer changed a bit. So far it has been a seasonably warm summer overall though overnight low temperatures have tainted averages upwards. But there has been no relentless heat only 3-4 day spurts of it. It is the high overnight low temperatures that help this summer to average out hot. Nevertheless you have back tracked to post in April or May which is quite a long time ago in the weather-world. And this weekend's weather was relatively cool at the coast (60s at night) but warmer inland. And such will be the case this week though temperatures should be about normal or slightly above overall for the first week of August. The second week looks above normal right now. But this is not relentless heat like the very hot summers. WX/PT

Yeah but if we are equal to a Weak La Nina in the 50s-70s, why not say La Nina? The relative index is relevant for Hadley Cell interactions, as the flux occurs more around the global temperature than with it imo

The big story this warm season (May-July) has been the +AO analogs I've been saying how cold H5 in the Summer isn't actually that bad, as the following Winters seem to have some good arctic air present. The roll forward of those top 20 analogs, which is big time ++AO, is not actually a warm look.. neutral to slightly below US Temps for Dec-March

It's just a little surprising overall.. there is a +15 to +45 day lag (at different times of the year) for -NAO, which typically delivers cold to the eastern US, but the surrounding times are apparently warm.

Chris what was JFK's average temperature from June 20 to the end of July?

Last 4 or 5 days the daily PDO rose from -3.5 to -2.73 on the World Climate Service site, so it's too early to get too concerned for this winter.
