Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change
donsutherland1 replied to donsutherland1's topic in Climate Change
For the U.S., one hasn't typically seen such heat domes during summers preceding strong/super El Niño events. Such events have been far more common in Europe and Asia. However, during 2015 (Pacific Northwest) and 2023 (July-August in the Southwest/South Central) such domes appeared. Whether these recent events suggest that things are changing in the warming climate (especially more expansive marine heatwaves) remains to be seen. A sample size of two is too small to draw firm conclusions. -
Very high launchpad with temps already 80-85F across the region. 105+ looks certain

78/75 @ 7am

69/67 here, 45 mins north west of Roanoke. It ain’t bad outside right now in the hills and up the holler haha but I know what’s coming.
-
78/74 this morning as I drink my coffee on my patio. It’s sticky
-
my hygrometer recorded an 80+ dewpoint yesterday with a 122 HI, but I think that's suspect. I'm guessing my real HI yesterday was more like 115 or a bit less. Right now I'm at 75/74.

Impressive to see HPN at 80° at 6am. White Plains CLEAR 80 75 84 NW5
-
85 for the low at LGA. .
-
81° low here. Pretty rare for me to have a 80°+ low... Even with some of the big heat last several years it didn't happen.

Looks like 80 will be the low temp at DCA https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=kdca

The grid is expected to break records today. The record was 165.5 Gigawatt in 2006. Forecast to be 166.2 today. Hopefully it can handle it, and it won't go down. -

I's basically a once in a lifetime experience that this is happening. Hopefully you'll share them video and photos -

Oh, I most certainly will! I took a vacation day because the Union Pacific Big Boy is coming through Tamaqua today. I live so close to the tracks that it's practically going through my backyard. I could sit on my back patio and watch it go by, but it's doing a 15 minute photo stop at the train station, so I'll be walking down there to see it, and hopefully get some good pics and video. -
Despite the MRGL/SLGHT risk SPC has for the region Fri, it still looks to me too warm aloft and capped for any significant storms most of the region. Still +12 C at 700 most of the day. The ridging aloft starts to break down by late aftn, but models show very limited storm coverage. Isolated storms at best. Best chance the PA border and SW VA/parts of WV. Looks good for considerable tstm activity Sat-Mon. GFS and ECMWF quite wet for the region in the next week.
