WPC increased rainfall total

It is so thick here in Brattleboro that I can't even see the sun Sent from my SM-S176V using Tapatalk

After researching this carefully, the following CFSv2 forecast map that JB posted for 2027 actually may not be the coldest CFSv2 JFM forecast overall for the U.S. on the site predicted in summer, which goes back to the progs for JFM of 2012: Regarding the following summer of ‘13 prog for JFM of 2014, the U.S. overall may be colder than the above map on a population as opposed to geographically weighted basis because the most heavily populated NE to upper Midwest is significantly colder despite the warmer S: Now, regarding a JFM prog made at anytime of year, this one made in early Jan for 2013 appears to be the coldest of any I found on either a pop or geo wted basis: Interestingly, the aforementioned recent forecast for JFM 2027 is not that much colder than the following one also made in summer for JFM 2016 (which similarly followed a super Nino peak) as it has a fairly similar pattern (just not as cold): The above summer of ‘16 prog for JFM ‘17 ended up failing miserably for most of the country as this is what actually happened: This miserable failure, itself, doesn’t exactly bode well for those like me hoping the cold on the JB posted CFS will verify well.

The sun is now completely obscured in the valley. I can taste the smoke in the air and the motion detector nightlight outside the brewery flicked on because it’s so dark right now. Killing a heat wave with smoke was not on my bingo card.

Always stackin'

How much do you have? Just a fine coating?

Might hit yesterday’s high of 85 again today. wretched weather. Give me hot 90s but clear air.

Yea. It’s felt less oppressive than recent summers for sure. Ive seen more “blue” 850 temps on guidance than usual too lol.

Stein on it

Its coming with NW winds which we take in mid July.

Less humid so far than recent summers, but still above avg.

90 here.

There is nothing redeeming about the smoke. It is more annoying than a dry slot in winter.

I’m including spring which was very cocky and even brutally cold/raw at times.

Canada needs to get it together

Temps through 10AM are running 3 - 5 - 7 behind the 100+ heat from Jul 1-4.

High ? It’s been a very humid summer . And top 3-5 warnersf

86/72 in central Calvert and the sky is blue for now. Our daughter is in Alpena in northern MI for work and sent this picture. That is BAD

looks like smoke will hold down temps today

Accumulating ash

Friday morning looks the worst for us?

Nasty

115° Miles City. 102° Thunder Bay That was a pretty good ridge with the ring of fire well up into the prairie provinces. Days and days of storm complexes with CGs over the boreal forests. Then we advect it around the ridge into our region.

I was down in you area this weekend for a lacrosse tournament and pretty much all full sun lawns were pretty brown, I'm sure its getting worse every day. Still mostly green here, but its definitely starting to see the the initial stages of drought stress. I don't water my lawn or have irrigation, but watering my new plants much more often than last month.

My ice fishing spot, near the forested island about 1/4 mile from the Rt 41 boat launch. Three whiffs and we struck out yesterday. (Or got smoked out) Had a sprinkle at 10 AM but the opportunities at 6 and 10 PM offered nothing except some grumbles to scare our dog. All 3 passed to our west.
