oh, I see. well, that's not like diurnal convection tho. that's what I was getting at. I guess an organized linear complex riding down is bit of a different beta synoptic drive so may that.

Gee I hope our heat dome isn't super charged.

was looking at vorticity rolling through/shear/instability...but mostly focusing on the shortwave rolling through as the driver for anything. If that shortwave is nothing or relatively weak then yeah we won't see much of anything

Ha. there are none. That's the point. Height are rising. what else are you looking at? SPC?

Actually I kind of like where that has the 30% area for D3. Looks like the instability gradient (talking about gradient between moderate and extreme instability) may be eastern NY into western New England. Something to watch because any development, particularly any cluster or complex, is going to ride that

Looks like the hottest days will occur as the ridge shifts into a position that will place our region in a westerly/downsloping flow. That should mean lowering dewpoints in the afternoon, which of course allows for more efficient heating. That's probably the rationale for rural areas (like my location) having forecast highs over 100. Typically the higher dewpoints inhibit that. Still don't buy 104 here.

Be honest, you triple checked one of the words in this post before you hit Submit, didn't you?

Not bad for a D3

Shwrs/stms have been developing regularly around the Lake this morning. Nice to see some decent rain.

If we hit 100, I will watch Superman IV. Twice.

June 29 1969: Worthington picks up over 6 inches of rain in 24 hours. 1930: Extreme heat develops in Minnesota. Canby got up to a sizzling 110 degrees. For Monday, June 29, 2026 1931 - The temperature at Monticello FL hit 109 degrees to establish an all-time record for the state. (The Weather Channel) 1954 - Hurricane Alice dumped as much as 27 inches of rain on the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. The Rio Grande River at Laredo reached a level 12.6 feet above its previous highest mark, and the roadway of the U.S. 90 bridge was thirty feet below the high water. (David Ludlum) 1987 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes Region, with reports of large hail and damaging winds most numerous in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. Thunderstorms spawned four tornadoes in Michigan. A tornado near Clare MI was accompanied by softball size hail. In Colorado, an untimely winter-like storm blanketed Mount Evans with six inches of snow. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Alpena, MI, reported a record low of 39 degrees while Jackson, MS, equalled their record for the month of June with an afternoon high of 105 degrees. Thunderstorms in the central U.S. soaked Springfield MO with 3.62 inches of rain, a record for the date. (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the Southern and Central High Plains Region. Thunderstorms in Colorado produced softball size hail at Kit Carson, while pea to marble size hail caused ten million dollars damage to crops in Philips County, CO.

This is again indicative of a not nearly as E based El Niño as 1997-8 with the slope from E to W not nearly as steep.

HBG has a legit shot to have 4 100 degree days in a row. That would obliterate so many records.

maybe let’s get through this season before talking about *next year’s* La Niña again? i’m hardly ready to even talk about this coming winter yet although that is tough to avoid because it’s talked about daily here

Low of 65. Looks like I'll finish June with 1.46" of rain, not as bad as I thought but still not good. I'm getting one last mow in today and then things turn crunchy for a while.

Stacking hay this weekend and cleaning horse stalls.

We give the people what they want. Machine learning stuff basically has a chance every day through the 4th weekend.

True, height falls are relatively meager. Certainly one of the negatives to consider

Based on how consistent the CFS has been, expect the Euro to increase to the +3.5 to +4 traditional ONI range also on its release coming for July 5th. This makes sense given the all -time record SST warmth we are currently experiencing so early on. Continuing WWBs will allow this event to keep intensifying at a record rate. The forecasts will be more accurate as get further past the spring predictability barrier.

Nah, Wed is a big time +d(hgt) day. That's gonna drop a ton of bricks on any vertical attempt. That day's likely to be that kind of blue sky that sounds like arcing electricity.

We’re about due for our annual one nighttime thunderstorm per year

Heatwave for me is temps 90+. Will be in the upper 80's Tues-Thurs then back to avg. Higher dews will make it rather muggy, and heat advs/warns will be out for higher indexes.

If true, 2027-28 is going to challenge 1973-74 and 1988-89 for the strongest la nina. Both of those followed robust el ninos, and broke relatively long (over a decade) strong la nina droughts. Remember, we haven't had a strong la nina since 2010-11. Strong La Nina: 1955-56, 1973-74, 1975-76, 1988-89, 1998-99, 1999-00, 2007-08, 2010-11, (2027-28)

Looks like right along the theta-e axis. What happens tomorrow night could end up setting the stage for Wednesday too, particularly when it comes to any potential remnant outflow boundaries. We'll have to see how things time with shortwave energy and even shortwave strength but Wednesday has potential to be a higher-end severe day I think

Euro seems to have scaled back the heat a bit. 102 on Friday for a peak
