Wildfire smoke is back. Noticed some yesterday and today it’s very noticeable

NOT looking forward to the next several days

Today should be our last sub 90 degree high until Monday. Mid to upper 80's today rising into the low to mid 90's tomorrow and then upper 90's in higher spots to near 100 in our valley locations both Thursday and Friday. Shower chances increase later July 4th with the days trending slightly cooler with highs by Monday in the upper 80's.

Glad the temps haven’t reached 100 yet, highs around 95 and only a couple heat advisories this summer which is pretty surprising.

MDT daily record highs for July 1 thru July 4 -- 100, 104, 107, and 104. That is one tough set of records to breach. Tomorrow is obviously the most gettable but that's also the one day where my current forecast is under 100. We shall see but quite the historic heat wave on tap regardless.

woke up to 80, lol

Historically will this 3-4 day stretch sit near the top? I think last time 3 days of 100 or greater was July 93?

Just a reminder that this will stay open for entries and edits until about 11PM tonight. In the spirit of transparency, my entries above are final.

Of course station location placement and relative elevation

The usual warm spots around the area have a shot at 104°-105° or maybe even warmer. Both the Euro and GFS have 850mb temperatures around +25 C Thursday and Friday. I believe July 2011 was the last time 850 mb temperatures reached this high.

We've definitely already peaked as far as the Pacific cold phase goes....likely pretty near neutral for the coming winter (slightly negative probably favored), but I still think it will be early next decade, around the solar min, when we truly switch into the new warm phase. Like a very big winter right after the solar min, as we begin the ascending phase.

Bring it baby

So frustrating to watch the lack of accountability on a day to day basis. They are making minor league mistakes on simple infield defensive plays and don't forget the baserunning gaffes. THe players are accountable at this level, but the coaching should also be held accountable. Definitely need to make some major changes before they get any better. Makes me wonder why they don't get someone like Joe Madden to come in and clean house.

Where we thought pitching wouldn't be much of an issue for the Phillies this year... it is!

Topped out at 92 yesterday.

In the next few years I will replace my 2018 CX-5. But it probably won’t be for the new one. What they did to that poor car…

Good morning MANDA, FPizz. I was 19 that year. I remember water restrictions and people having wells dug in their back yards. I simple searched 1966 rainfall. For NYC, the summer was extremely dry. There may have been a tropical system involved in the September total, I just don’t recall. You need no correction, MANDA, about that summer. Stay well and hydrated. As always ….

Sometimes, despite the apparent talent, it just doesn't work collectively. Not aways easy to pin down, and in most cases there are multiple reasons. Look at the Mets the past 2 seasons. Absolute disaster. I think its time to make changes. Make some deals at the deadline but more for the future, not necessarily to try to win now. Trade Alonso. Get a couple good younger players, and jettison players like Mayo and Cowser. Busts.

The last month that my station had 5+ inches of rain was Aug 2024. The prior 14 months saw 7 of them exceeding the 5" mark. Really impressed with the suddeness of and now the longevity of this drought.

Home brew next week?

I take their sloppy leftovers of rain/light rain from what’s left of the complex

Storms Wednesday-friday look isolated at best. Maybe scattered Saturday, with far NW favored. Potentially widespread Sunday and Monday.

Low of 66. Bring on the heat.
