Reached 98 here. Dews fell from the mid 70's to the upper 50's during the hottest part of the day, so it wasn't that bad. Highest reading in the UP was 102 @ Baraga Plains. They're usually one of the top 5 cold spots too. One more day in the mid 90's, then back to more respectable summer weather.

always a wintry winter there

Updated from WFO GYX!

Since the WAA is continuous through the day and not in place for the start, the absolute max potential for temp is not realized, much to CoastalWx's dismay. BTW, we don't live at 850.

Unfortunately there’s no avoiding that . 10” or less of snow?

How many people in Waterbury VT are ordering wood chippers for this winter?

Another very heavy shower with lots of lightning and thunder is moving across from East to West. It doesn't seem common to get meandering upper level lows in summer but it's definitely a drought killer.

We're fortunate those 850s temps peak at night otherwise we would've seen another round of 105+ temps. All time state records would've been on the table.

Feels like we do that anyway these days, Nino or not.

Temperatures will peak in the lower to middle 80s tomorrow before heat begins to push in from the Plains States. A brief push of heat from an impressive heat dome over the Central and Northern Plains that sent the mercury to all-time records of 109° at Salt Lake City and 110° at Billings, MT could send temperatures into the 90s during Tuesday through Thursday. The potential exists for Newark to approach 100° at the height of the short period of heat. Friday will also be very warm before the temperatures ease for the weekend. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +3.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.8°C for the week centered around July 1. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +2.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.52°C. The ongoing strong El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer. The SOI was -38.53 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.360 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 63% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal July (1991-2020 normal). July will likely finish with a mean temperature near 78.7° (1.2° above normal). Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 2.2° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

I recall the Mayan calendar hype..well here we are in 2026 lol..

And the hottest winter ever. Let’s keep the heat for the next 12 months.

I want 27C at 850 at 18z tomorrow plz.

Just wait till that sets up for Xmas week.. Ray's place in methuen

My favorite was one of the shows when they combined Nostradamus w/ the Mayan calendar 2012. Stupid! Speaking of Nostradamus, this shows that media fear-mongering is nothing new. This scared me as a kid! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Saw_Tomorrow

102° in Thunder Bay today. Love it.

Temps peaked at 94/69/99. Shoreline temps running 85-90. Co-op had 83 yesterday. Offshore bouy for TH has an air temp of 56, so pretty chilly out there on the big pond. Point has 100 for tomorrow due to the winds switching to the W creating a little down slope enhancement. In house temp started at 79 and now to 83. Started at 75 yesterday, and ended with 82. Will open windows again tonight. Actually not horrible with the fans. I'm doing good.

Greenfield actually got about .10” between the morning shower and the heavier afternoon shower. Very fortunate, good for the gardens and trees.

I believe that years ago, I read that a Carrington event would lead to the death of over half the populations of major cities within 6 weeks.

Man what a special summer . The superest Nino ever and we will all live thru likely top 3 hottest summer ever

If my memory is serving me well the missing episode is the Nostradamus episode....about his various predictions for how the world ends There was a show titled Doomsday Preppers but while that had some end of the world scenarios it primarily was about how people were preparing for catastrophic events. Another interesting show is "While the Rest of US Die"

It's impressive they could beat the Dust Bowl temperatures in Montana edit: Billings has no data from July 1934 when they could have been the hottest

Is Mr. Bastardi accurate in saying this is the coldest CFSv2 JFM for the U.S. ever forecasted on its site (back to 2012)? Opinions about this map? Keep in mind that this is a mean of a whopping 10 days of runs of its ensemble as opposed to just one run: Precip anoms from same run:
