Man gusts this morning.

It's no accident ...I just posted about it -

Probably attribution/CC -related in some way but I have noticing this "something's wrong" effect that no one's really noticing going on all over the place, for a few years for that matter. They're subtle indicators of a "cancerous climate" if you ask me - but heh...I'm just a creative writer on the side. But this below is an example. It's not that unusual to park anomalies right next to each other, as general practice - it's the degree of the deltas that is the unusual aspect. I mean look at this shit up there - that's gotta be unusual relative to climate one would think Meanwhile, at this time, there are 595 heights over PA and probably mid 90s heat from PHL to PWM ( 99 hours off the 00z run). I have a memory like a steel trap for patterns ...going all the way back. It's my own Rain Man ability ( hey everyone's got one). I don't recall seeing snow events after the Solsitice, that far S that often, and certainly not when the mid latitudes, right adjacently, are trying host a heat wave.

Summer in the nrn Greens.

Upslope rain and gusty winds near the solstice. Interesting.

Pretty early on a friday morning to be slamming back a few growler's.

These gusts are insane. Have to be gusting 40-45

Beautiful morning out there! Humidity is noticeably lower...going to enjoy time outside later before the motherload of heat arrives.

that above is why this heat may truncate mid week while that large synoptic appeal of that ridge is still in place. That models are sort of eroding the ridge out from underneath ...like water under a sandcastle. The problem is, that overactive jet (anachronistic for late June) up there fits the seasonal trend of ... basically a tendency for over active jets. There's a reason the eastern half of the mid latitude continent has just gone through the windiest AM month span in 50 years ( check that but something like that...). Anyway, these powerful jets tunneling through the skies over N Ontario will tend to mechanize polar highs ( summer versions of them...). Regardless of season, the +PP then suppresses the boundary S, under cutting the ridge, and that ends the heat. Winter or summer, the fronts seldom end up parked through here... they end up either S, or, the whole construct turns out wrong and they don't come. But at least in my experience, lodging right here is rare. It's possible the models back off this jet bomb up there...which may mitigate some of that going on.. but we'll see.

Beautiful morning. I’m still soft selling the Euro but I’m getting more intrigued.

I'm just playin' It's a nice morning.

Serious Scoot this morning

GSO has managed to record at least a trace of precip for the past 15 consecutive days going back to June 5th. Somehow that amounted to a MTD precip anomaly of only +.16, with the highest single day total being .64. Raleigh is at +1.02, Fayetteville +1.04, Asheville +1.28, Charlotte +.86, Danville -.49, Wilmington +.31

Early Fall at RDU?

Clouds quickly leaving here...getting into strong sun now!

I think he meant early fall. Late fall is the 50+ mins.

not a cloud here

He's like Ineedachill pill when it comes to snow. Both of them 'em are so out of control jazzed at all times for their respective interest area of weather, that there's no filtration of analytics at first bearing witness to some chart; they just autopost it like this guy as though it's 'totally possible'

NAM/Euro combo for the MCS?

Breeze feels nice.

40 OZs.

The unusual thing about the coming heatwave is how long the 500mb heights remain in the 594dm to 600dm range. In the past these ridges have generally lasted a day or two with 500mb heights this high. Now the models have us in these near to record levels from Sunday into Tuesday. Getting the heat to build for 3 days increases the chance that some spots across the region could approach 105° before the heatwave ends.

I looked on tropical tidbits and saw nothing.. and couldn't figure out what he was seeing

I have to think there will be daily seabreezes with such a contrast with the mid 60s water. The hot spot might actually be where the compressional heating is worst which could be around the Southern State Parkway area or just north. Since NW is a downslope direction it’ll definitely heat up for everyone though.
