Wonder how we’ll get Steined with the MCS tonight ? Probably will hit Ginx down to the cape

Yeah but you had near or over an inch Sunday

While the CanSIPS hasn’t had much skill with long range ENSO 500 mb patterns and temperatures over the CONUS, it will be interesting to see if it has some clue about the SST configuration. Notice how the much warmer the Indio-Pacific warm pool becomes following this super event than it initializes at the current time. My guess is the big baseline global temperature jump it has warms the SSTs. There is some cooling immediately near Japan. But the warm pool gets pushed a little east. Also notice how much warmer the Atlantic basin becomes. Also noticed the CFS runs doing something similar with the SSTs. The ENSO region would probably be the strangest look of all. Notice how skinny the developing La Niña cold tongue is by next June around the Galápagos Islands. It’s surrounded by continuing Nino-like waters just off equator.

I missed just to my north ( had sprinkles) last evening and nothing over night

72 for the low, DP 71 kind of mixed feelings about temperatures yesterday. Under my deck which is completely shaded 90 degrees. My other sensor which is partially in the sun was reading 102. The NWS said high was 91 which I’m not really sure that’s right. Stay hydrated theses next few days!

Low of 71. Let’s see how many Ben Franklins we can count the next few days. Stay cool everyone.

lol. I took two of his full webbed hands up the hiney yesterday and last night. Literally missing by 1-2 miles . And then he moved them all around while he was up in there.

US issues emergency order for PJM Interconnection as heatwave looms By Thomson ReutersJun 30, 2026 | 5:14 PM June 30 (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Energy on Tuesday declared an emergency across the nation’s largest power grid, citing soaring demand and supply ‌risks as extreme heat grips the region. In an order issued under Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act, the energy secretary said a statutory ‌emergency exists in PJM interconnection’s region ⁠due to a ⁠combination of surging electricity demand and limited generation capacity. PJM submitted a formal request on June 29, warning of an “imminent electricity reliability emergency” driven by high temperature forecasts of around 95 degrees Fahrenheit or ⁠higher. PJM is projecting “peak loads ⁠of approximately 159,563 megawatts (MW) on July 1, 2026 and approximately 162,860 MW on July 2, 2026. These levels raise risks ‌of supply shortfalls, threatening grid stability. The grid operator also flagged that some generation units could face constraints due to a ⁠restriction under an environmental permit or state requirement. The DOE said the order is necessary to ensure ⁠sufficient electricity ‌supply and to protect public ⁠safety. PJM Interconnection serves a large swathe ‌of the eastern United States, and officials ⁠warned that without intervention, extreme weather conditions could lead to system stress severe enough to impact the ability to meet electricity demand

Last natural AC for a bit.

Beautiful pre-heat morning here in central MA! 68F with partial cloud cover, and still comfortable humidity. The breeze still feels cool, but since it's coming from the south I expect that will change soon.

I am heading to my sister's beach house in Narragansett out on Pt Judith today. Same thing there where only a north wind will bring in any heat. Its absolutely wild to leave there when its like 72 degrees and you get to Providence and its 102. I setup a wunderground station there a few years back. High was 72 yesterday and its only briefly touched 80 3 times this year. Probably one of the coolest locations outside of an island in New England.

Gonna roast at Winni.

Car says 83 lol

I always remember Jul 95…mid level clouds until 9-10am and then it was off to the races. But yeah, clouds are collapsing pretty well on IR.

0.32". Nice surprise Sent from my SM-S921U using Tapatalk

Thats a good solid number, too bad others didn't make out so good. Last week I got most of my rain for the month.

The 3 hot days are in the plym mav mos plotting window now.

Clouds seem to dissipating fairly quickly. Might be a bunch of cirrus through late morning.

94/75 for DTW yesterday. So far overnight the low is 79 at DTW and 81 at DET.

Nah it’s just why nobody cares about convection around here except for a few poor souls.

Loud storm

My total for June was 4.35".

That's good stuff but way overcomplicates it. The simple fact it that the sun doesn't really heat the air- it heats the ground which then transfers the heat to the air by radiation, and it was probably determined that 2 meters was a height where there is significantly less direct influence from retention of heat/ radiation of heat from ground. And again, that height is approximately human head level.
