Now 60%. So glad I'm boarding a cruise ship today that'll be heading into that area next week.

This could also scale back the upper end of heat potential Monday

Yesterday, Phoenix saw its first measurable rainfall of Monsoon Season when 0.16” fell. It was the 35th biggest first measurable rainfall of Monsoon Season.

Spending Saturday, Sunday and Monday on the OBX. Euro says a washout with 1-3” of rain. GFS has scattered showers and less than 0.25” for the same period.

Really some extreme QBO swings lately

HRRR seems wonky with the dews...wonder if thats why?

Area of interest right off SE coast now has 60% development odds. Most models are on board with something coming together.

Not seeing it but good luck to another productive day for you.

HRRR says NO!

50/50 sounds good.

Just tell yourself you’re storm chasing. Hearing my first cicadas this morning.

Rare day where severe is less likely in central Jersey severe ally then north and east of the city.

The 30 mb June QBO dipped to -13.72 from -4.59 in May. This is following most closely the 2014 progression and secondarily to 1972: https://psl.noaa.gov/data/correlation/qbo.data

Surprisingly I got to 66 or 67 degrees last night. I was wondering how it got so cool in the house, I thought my wife forgot to turn off the AC lol. Then the Sun came up and my temperature jumped 10 degrees in one hour and now I'm 81 degrees.

Beautiful morning out with a low of 57.

Min 61.4° Almost chilly!

Connecticut (particularly along and southeast of 84) and Rhode Island should be prime today

The WCS 7/1/25 PDO was all the way down to -3.07, the most negative WCS PDO day of any during the couple of years I’ve been following the WCS. This barely beats the -3.04 of 5/31/24 and the ~-3.02 of 10/10/24: Barring anything unexpected, this will likely bounce upward from near this level based on prior WCS dips stopping just below -3.

Records: Highs: EWR: 105 (1966) NYC: 103 (1966) LGA: 107 (1966) JFK: 104 (1966) Lows: EWR: 57 (1953) NYC: 54 (1933) LGA: 57 (1969) JFK: 56 (2001) Historical: 1873: A tornado in Hancock County, in far west central Illinois, destroyed several farms. From a distance, witnesses initially thought the tornado was smoke from a fire. A child was killed after being carried 500 yards; 10 other people were injured. 1933: Very cool 52° equaled the July minimum at DC; the "Dog Days" traditionally begin this day of the year. The hot weather period received its name from Sirius, the brightest visible star in the sky and known as the Dog Star. Sirius rises in the east at the same time as the sun this time of the year. (The Weather Channel) 1956: Lightning set off a dynamite charge near Brooksville, FL, killing one woman. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1960: A major hail storm caused $1.5 million dollars in damage across the Denver, CO metro area. The heaviest damage occurred in south Denver, Englewood, Littleton and Golden from wind-driven hail as large as golf balls. Winds were estimated between 60 and 70 mph. Heavy rainfall was estimated at 2 to 3 inches. Hail carried flood waters drifted 3 to 4 feet deep. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1966 - The northeastern U.S. was in the midst of a sweltering heat wave. The temperature at Philadelphia reached 104 degrees. Afternoon highs of 102 degrees at Hartford CT, 105 degrees at Allentown PA, and 107 degrees at LaGuardia Airport in New York City established all-time records for those two locations. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1975: Up to 3 inches of rain caused flash flooding throughout Las Vegas, NV. The main damage occurred to vehicles at Caesars Palace with approximately 700 damaged or destroyed with several cars found miles away. North Las Vegas was hardest hit with $3.5 million in damage. Two people drowned in the flood waters. 1987 - Lightning struck and killed three men playing golf on a course near Kingsport TN. The three men had sought shelter from the rain under a tall tree on a small hill. Showers and thunderstorms produced heavy rain in New Jersey, with 5.2 inches reported at Trenton State College. (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Thunderstorms around Fort Worth, TX, produced wind gusts to 76 mph at Burleson, along with two inches of rain in thirty minutes. The record low of 46 degrees at Youngstown OH was their sixth in a row. (The National Weather Summary)(Storm Data) 1989 - Showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rain in the eastern U.S. Bowling Green, KY, was soaked with 4.99 inches of rain during the morning hours, and up to ten inches of rain deluged Oconee County SC. The temperature at Alamosa, CO, soared to a record warm reading of 91 degrees, following a record low of 35 degrees the previous day. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

76/ 69 clear. Great stretch of summery weather coming up, warm - hot today, mainly clear and dry - 80s - low 90s in the hotter areas. Passing storms tonight, look to stay mainly north and will make way for a gorgeous fourth of july - beach - bbq - bay - fireworks and outside dry- sunny warm mainly 80s / some 70s shores and north. Sat - mon - warm - hot / humid 80s to low/mid 90s in the hot areas - hottest looks monday - onshore component keeps heat focused inland. Beyond there overall warm - hot , humid and wetter - see onshore frequency. Way beyond continues to see ridge building heights east with heat following for a hot close.

The mandarin off the southeast coast looks important to closely watch. At this moment still early but not for Cape and Islands. Some indirect impacts potentially as early as Sunday and —at risk of stating the obvious here— it’s a big beach/vacation weekend…. Both euro and GFS develop a weak tropical system within 72 hrs. Big ridge in the western Atlantic will preclude a quick escape east, so it will be close to the mid Atlantic/northeast coast at least through 120 hrs. We watch.

Well there's a lot of variables included. This is one of them. I posted some pretty cool PDO stuff a few pages back.. you are right, the later into Summer you go the more important some things are. A side note, but I do really like cold 500mb in any form.. I said this last year. We had almost the same exact strong +AO happening at this time last year, and it was the first time we had a cold 500mb sustained area in long time, I think the whole 2020-2023 period didn't have that. I was saying how it could possibly flip the EPO to negative for the Winter, and we did in fact have some -EPO driven cold. All these composites of best snowfall DCA seasons have cold 500mb all over the N. Hemisphere in the Fall before then.. it doesn't matter so much if there is PNA etc. just that there is widespread 500mb cold. I think it's a new pattern that we entered into last year.

Tomorrow looks like a fantastic summer day with low humidity and reasonable temps.

I actually prefer the opposite.
