Just haven't been able to get Summer Arctic ridging since the ice melt peak in 2012. 15 years is impressive for that record to hold, in this exponentially warming world.

June MTD is by a good margin the coldest on record N of 80N! Furthermore, June 9-13th has averaged ~-4C, which is ~2C colder than what had been the coldest on record, 2014! Records go back to 1958! This is pretty surreal in our warming world: 2026 coldest for June 1-13 ~-3.5C and June 9-13 ~-4C! 2014 2nd coldest for June 1-13 ~-2.5C and June 9-13 ~-2C: 1966 3rd coldest for June 1-13 ~-2C: 1980 3rd coldest for June 9-13 ~-1.3C:

I hadn’t thought of the severe implications, but that’s very interesting. Development odds have increased to 30% with the NHC.

a few light showers roaming around. with no remotely close to interesting storms, rather let Stein reign supreme and burn

.82 and counting here, just had a nice rumble of thunder from the back end.

As expected it weakened and the heaviest missed to the south, but at least it was a decent band of steady moderate rain. Picked up 0.39" here so far. Enough to give the gardens a watering. I'm glad I won't have to water tomorrow, but obviously we need much more rain. Maybe something on Thursday, but the overall weather pattern continues to look dry. It's likely that this drought will continue to get worse.

I'm a snow weenie down by DCA and a severe weenie up in BOS. Who has it worse than me?

Water spout at Cedar Point

The low starts off as 995mb near Alberta then deepens and stays <990mb for the rest of its trek zonally across the continent. I take it that is highly unusual.

Am enjoying the app. The only one I have that gives me auditable storm warnings and lightning detected in my area with push notifications. Signed up as a yearly sustainer.

Wow, 2.75" here as it seems to be winding down. Didn't expect that. 72°F currently.

0.01” just now.

GFS seems to want to bring the WF into the Metro.

Congrats Carolina! I had them picked to win the Cup from game one. That usually NEVER happens, but I had a feeling it was their year, and it was.

I'm not even really sure how to process this potential day-4 threat (Wednesday.) The 500mb jet streak is much stronger than average, surface low pressure is lower than most pressure I've seen in June, other than hurricanes.

Got a good one here. Rainfall rates up to 6.83 inches per hour. Total rainfall was 1.85

Moderate rain now with a few flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder. Radar looks pretty solid. Hopefully we get at least half an inch from this

I've seen some "regular" E TX/LA storms that easily rival the best I have seen in NE. If you enjoy snow and highest end severe, IA/NE life probably the best call

Glad you pointed this out. ECMWF was unrealistically showing tropical deepening well inland from MS to the Carolinas. 18z backed off and looks more reasonable. And now the GFS has the same idea. Excellent point about how this may play a role in the SVR later in the week. It seems up until now, rich deep moisture was lacking as noted by not so high CAPE even in the Mid-Atlantic, but this tropical low could make a huge difference as to sensible svr wx, esp. NYC to DCA.

Meh some moderate rain inbound, was hopeful for some booms but its looking unlikely.

Moderate rain here right now, and radar looks very good. I know HRRR weakens it, but we're looking good for at least a half inch of desperately needed rain here.

Echo tops collapsing. Looks like a good soaking at least...

We are going to get hammered

From motherships to barely agitated cumulus?

Northern Russia gets 4980dm in mid-June tomorrow. Pretty impressive!
