Oh, man...that is confusuing. Wayyyy too many dashes.

Whatweather.today - accurate weather forecast

Looks like you hit a jackpot of cedar for those planter beds; (assuming you harvested/milled it yourself). The aroma must be great. (Or maybe my eyes deceive me) Nothing like working outdoors on a winter day with mans-best-friend helping.

It's minus the 1980s analogs. West coast was cold 10 years before the 91-20 average. Then it was drastically warm in the 5 year since then. That's the point.. the progression around the 91-20 base period in July.

missed most of the overnight action here, .06

Some of these seasons aren't that warm.....its heavily biased by years like 1982-1983, which really isn't relevent this season. It certainly gives pause for expecting a repeat of last season, but I would hang myself over it.

Yesterday was the 9th consecutive day the temperature at PIT didn’t drop below 69. That’s the longest streak on record at the airport. Could add another day to that today, depending on what the temp is at 1am.

I would imagine PHX was influenced by increased Dew point temps and overnight lows as the city was developed, similar to Palm Springs - i know it seems much more humid (by local standards) going there since the late 60s. On our side a steamy hazy 75 / 74 here.

June total 5.31" Highest temp 95, lowest 46 Seems so hot now, but the month started quite chilly.

Both Japan, and the Mediterranean (Sea, not sure on air but France and eastern Iberian Penn were just roasted in in 42C) observed their hottest Junes on record.

Happy July! The days are getting shorter

got about .65 from yesterday and last night

NAM insists on a pretty significant temperature burst in 2-3 hrs. WPC analyzing the warm boundary W-E thru central NE; the region's primed for a temp rise. High res vis imagery suggests the mid level gunk is smearing away and immediately there's skylights opening up over NE PA/E-SE NY. It's early ... As that tendency arrives, we'll likely see better heating.

Just missed those much needed downpours by a few miles...steiiiiined.

Steam bath outside, DP at 76 yuck.

I doubt another dry winter.

Had an amazing thunder storm last night around midnight. Most frequent lightning in years. Very heavy rain as well. .

Swwww 81 for a low.

2.25" in the last 24 hours from 4 different rounds (~3pm, ~5pm, ~10pm, and ~2am)

Hopefully not a 2nd Steining .3K NAM looks awful

.34 inch of needed rain overnight

Looks like the next chance for 95° to 100° heat will be early next week as the 500 mb ridge builds again. Models have more of a southerly flow. So the warmest spots should be further from the sea breeze and coast.
