Feels like coastal Maine outside.

You forgot to mention temps/precip on the NMME are pretty sweet for winter lovers in the east for Dec-Feb. Individual months look decent as well imho. Links start in December. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=nmme&region=us&pkg=T2ma_nmme&runtime=2026060800&fh=6 https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=nmme&region=us&pkg=apcpna_month_nmme&runtime=2026060800&fh=6

More traditional June El Niño 500 mb pattern forecast for next week as this record El Niño continues to gain steam.

Many of our valley locations saw lows well down into the 50's with the coolest being the 53.6 at Warwick Township. We start the week with near normal temperatures and low humidity but by Thursday many spots will be in the low 90's with increasing humidity. We look to stay hot through the weekend, but it looks to be short lived with cooler temperatures arriving next week. Our best rain chance will be Wednesday afternoon into the evening.

My ideal climate would probably be summer from May to September, then 2 months of October, then Dec/Jan/Feb, and 2 months of April.

interested in the june 15-17 timeframe for a few days of highs potentially in the mid-70s. ensembles have been trending towards a nice respite from the heat/humidity

History) 1950: Two inches of snow fell at Billings, MT. This is their latest measurable snowfall on record. The high for the day was only 42°, a record low maximum. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1951: A tornado was captured on motion pictures for the first time in the USA. 1953 - The worst tornado of record for the state of Michigan killed 116 persons. Flint MI was hardest hit. The tornado, half a mile in width, destroyed 200 homes on Coldwater Road killing entire families. (The Weather Channel) 1957: A tropical storm moved in from the Gulf of Mexico and crossed northwest Florida, spawning a tornado outbreak and flooding rainfall. Five people drown in the Gulf of Mexico when a small fishing vessel capsized in high seas. A shrimp boat was sunk off Ft. Myers, and several other boats were driven ashore south of Tampa. At least 9 Tornadoes were reported in Alachua, Marion, Clay, Putnam, and Duval counties (Jacksonville area). Tornadoes damaged roofs and uprooted trees. Heavy rains of up to 19" in 48 hours caused much local flooding and considerable agricultural damage, closed many roads and washed out several small bridges. Two hundred people were evacuated from flooded residential areas in Taylor County. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1966 - A tornado ripped right through the heart of the capitol city of Topeka KS killing sixteen persons and causing 100 million dollars damage. The tornado, which struck during the evening, cut a swath of near total destruction eight miles long and four blocks wide. It was the most destructive tornado of record up until that time. (David Ludlum) 1974 - Severe thunderstorms spawned at least twenty-three tornadoes in Oklahoma during the afternoon and evening hours. One of the tornadoes struck the town Drumright killing sixteen persons and injuring 150 others. A tornado struck the National Weather Service office in Oklahoma City, and two tornadoes hit the city of Tulsa. Thunderstorms in Tulsa also produced as much as ten inches of rain. Total damage from the storms was around thirty million dollars. It was the worst natural disaster of record for Tulsa. (Storm Data) 1983: Record cold prevailed across parts of Michigan. Sault St. Marie dropped to 28° and Alpena fell to 30°; both establishing record lows for the date. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1987 - Thunderstorms in the northeastern U.S. produced large hail and damaging winds in Vermont injuring two persons. Thunderstorms in Ohio produced wind gusts to 75 mph near Akron, and deluged Pittsfield with two inches of rain in thirty minutes. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Overnight thunderstorms in Iowa produced 5.20 inches of rain at Coon Rapids. Thunderstorms in the Florida Keys drenched Tavernier with 7.16 inches of rain in 24 hours. Eleven cities in the central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather over the Central Gulf Coast Region during the day and evening. Severe thunderstorms spawned 17 tornadoes, including one which injured ten persons and caused a million dollars damage at Orange Beach, AL. Thunderstorm winds gusting to 90 mph killed three persons and injured four others at Mobile AL. Thunderstorms also deluged Walnut Hill and Avalon Beach, FL, with eight inches of rain. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1993: An F2 tornado struck four farmsteads, damaging one severely, just southeast of Osage, IA. Two F0 tornadoes touched down in Olmsted County, MN in Dover and Pleasant Grove, three F0 tornadoes in Mower County, Minnesota in Dexter and just south of Leroy and Grand Meadow, and an F0 tornado touched down ten miles south of Spring Valley. On this same date, 18 other tornadoes touched down in Wisconsin. Prairie du Chien, WI had 3.22 inches of rain. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1995: Classic supercell thunderstorms spawned 21 tornadoes in the north Texas Panhandle. 5 of the tornadoes were rated F4 on the Fujita scale, one which tracked through the center of Pampa injuring 7 people and causing $30 million in damages. The Project Vortex team (20 vehicles, including a state of the art truck-mounted Doppler Radar, and two P3 aircraft's) were all over the storms, collecting an incredible storm dynamics, structure, and environment data set, on the last day of the two year funded project no less. The team witnessed one of the F4 tornadoes near Allison, and said it was one of biggest and meanest appearing tornadoes they had ever seen. At Crane, TX, four inch diameter hail fell for 10 minutes. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 2001: Tropical Storm Allison hits Houston, Texas, for the second time in three days. Louisiana and southern Texas were inundated with rain. Baton Rouge received 18 inches over just a couple of days. Some portions of Texas racked up 36 inches by June 11. 2008: This rainfall exasperated the already dangerous flooding conditions across parts of southeast Minnesota, northeast Iowa, and southwest into central Wisconsin resulting in a flood of historic proportions. Some area rivers responded with a foot per hour rises, while others eventually exceeded their river gauges ability to record the river levels. These gauges were under water themselves. All-time record crests were set at a few locations, with top five records at many others. A listing of some of the record crests with all-time rank, at the time of this event: Upper Iowa River at Dorchester 22.5 feet (all-time record) and Decorah 17.9 feet (all-time record), The Turkey River at Elkader 30.9 feet (all-time record), El Dorado 22.11 feet (all-time record), and Garber 29.13 feet (4th highest on record), The Cedar River at Charles City 25.55 feet (all-time record), The Kickapoo River at La Farge 15.88 feet (all-time record), Viola 21.25 feet (all-time record), Readstown 19.65 feet (all-time record), Soldiers Grove 21.21 feet (2nd highest on record), Gays Mills 20.44 feet (all-time record), and Steuben 19.15 feet (all-time record). Two-day rainfall amounts totaled from generally from 4 to 7 inches. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

Onshore flow keeps it cooler the next 24 hours. Warms up Wed - Sun with low - mid 90s and chance for storms especially Thu/Fri with the heat. We'll see if clouds can muddy the heat Thu or Fri/ storms could dump and be severe. Trough into the Midwest/East towards the 17th and BW noted above cooler period with ridge coming east towards the final week of the month where it loos warmer overall beyond there.

All you see anymore on sports broadcasts are betting commercials. It's like that and medicine and supplements are the only things being sold any more.

Yes there is a clear desire to destroy NWS et al from the social media and tech bros. They're all hat no cattle.

Someone say blue.

Just under an inch. Grass got greener as it rained. Well needed.

It’s pretty wild to think that not so far back, the nfl and mlb were so opposed to betting. Right up until they got their cut.

Six or seven days of heat then the ridge retreats west for a while and maybe we get a little bit flatter flow for a bit in the east. 3rd week of June looks seasonal with some precipitation chances, hopefully.

For now it's a pretty broad brushed area - definitely could (when is it not?) be a scenario of many losers and few winners.

Still wondering if a Bahama Blue circulation mode type might set up ... it's a sloppy way to infer, perhaps... but using the D6-14 temperature anomaly progs from CPC suggests a trough might situated along 90-100 W and sort of stall there for a few days. That might eventually oriented a more S-->N larger synoptic river of air along the EC. So ..."Bahama Blue" flow is a phrase we coined in here years and years ago... It's when there's SW flow through the Gulf o/ Mexico, and a SE flow through the Bahamas that join over the SE/Florida and then flows all the way up to Maine/lower Maritime; east of the trough, west of the semi-permanent west Atlantic subtropical ridge. Variations on that theme can machine but that's the basic format. It's an interesting pattern. It's relatively rare and when it sets up, you can get 84/77 with purified deep blue tropical skies like a typical day in Nassau. You may even observed tropical TCU with teeny intense showers on rad with a single pixel to 50 dbz water boarding rain rates. 20 seconds worth.

Part snark, part reality ... ...but it's mostly driven by addiction to dystopian triggered dopa in what's become a blue light over stimulated, recreationally enraged society. If there's no actual Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum reduxing heat wave, or cannon ball-sized hail clouds suspending finger of god's carving canyons through the hearts of urban centers ... then watch out! Drought becomes fanatical and 'quite real'. Sometimes this engagement is just not subjectively exciting enough.

Thankfully it was 50 average S of the NH down here. Looks like summer's finally gotten to your doorstop. Needs another little push to finally get N of you LOL

Later this week, and next week appears to get more active as the general pattern begins to change. Increasing chances of storms every couple days once we get to this Wednesday.

Took a quick look at some of the damage on the way into work and over the span of 1.5 miles some of the trees were blown down in different directions. Might have been a weak downburst, which Upton mentioned the possibility of in a few of their dicussions.

66 at the moment by it's just 9am. Maybe 79 or 80 /52 under 100% purified blue.. Hell, even the pollen's at least temporarily alleviated. 1/2" rain btw from that weird late blob that slid down eastern zones last evening. Rained harder than sat cloud tops suggested it should, too. Interesting. Lawn looks visibly appreciative for whatever the cause.

June 8 1972: 8 inches of rain falls in 7 hours at Madelia Township in Wantonwan County. 1893: Violent winds occur at Maple Plain from 1:30 to 2:15pm. A large frame house was moved 8 feet from its foundation. Many barns and hay sheds blown over by the wind. One barn was blown across Dutch Lake.
