Bugs sweat stink stunk stank. Thank God its almost over. Lol. Imagine dealing with this for 90 days a year. 

I can’t stand this weather. It’s not even July yet and I if I had to guess I’d say I have seen 10+ days of 90+ highs and 70+ lows already this year. We are going to get a wonderful break but it’s certainly far from over. The low temps have consistently been running well above normal. A 70+ low in summer is feeling quite normal, expectations wise, unfortunately.

Nah, totally normal. 

Yea. For Death Valley.

0z Euro is alone vs GFS Ukie and Canadian. And yesterday’s 12z euro looked a lot like what the rest of global guidance is showing...

It’s a high confidence bet still but the models couldn’t make it too easy for us...

Just finished walking the dog. Very steamy  still.

My guess is temps don’t fall much at all from here, given some clouds, light wind...and dews rising slightly into tomorrow morning. 78 for a low tomorrow morning a.m. in Dover, if I had to throw something out there..,

What are the record high low temps...?

Between the life threatening heat and popes tropical disturbance that may produce a 40 mph gust given conditions primed for “RI” ..I’m gonna be glued to the latest 

I do kid with Tip, I just don’t see HI’s above 103 or so ..so it’s kinda just another Summer with a hot day 

Man up. Winter season is sooo much more exhausting than this.

Heat kills many more Americans per yr than TC’s. Probably should focus on the heat if you’re feeling overloaded by “hype “... 

“WAR strength”. Heh. That’s an unequivocal —NAO next weekend.

The limiting factor with this system is time left over water . Not much time 

Sure,

What are the limiting factors while it is over water?

There.

I just see it moving into a no shear environment, with momentum in cyclostrophic flow already going ... over ample OHC.   Not sure how many environment variable one really needs, but rip and read on those parametrics, I would not be shocked if TS watches go out for the SE Coast pretty soon here.  LOL -

Dry air entrainment only limiting factor, and that will be a function of how organized the circulation becomes. If it tightens up here, it could well create a moisture pocket, and continue to quickly organize. As you noted shear itself is low—modest structural organization will go a long way in this case.

Ho man ... 'magine if that thing did a 24 hour RI out of nowhere ...

The ones with no recurve/trough interaction up through landfall —like this one—are the most dangerous in this respect. Imo. 

...

For the 4th weekend, persistence  bet is the worst of it ends up in SNE and Northern Mid Atlantic. Another “best in Maine” opportunity. Sig -NAO look. The wet get wetter and the dry get dryer.

Dets?  Asking for a friend.

A warmer version of this past Memorial Day weekend.

GFS on crack as it tries to completely ruin the 4th weekend like Memorial weekend. Euro while cloudy at least is not frigid

The model crack smoking started out west, and it’s manifesting in real time. The latest GFS runs in the context of the craziness out west makes a lot of sense actually...The yin and the yang. A highly anomalous UL ridge out west...begets a highly anomalous UL trough in the East? Physical equations. Mother Nature finding a way to amplify baroclinic waves with summer climo and temperatures across the CONUS by breaking physical limitations out west significantly to the up side...

Versus one year ago.

Worse in NNE, much better in SNE.

Large increase of drought conditions in NH and Maine.

@jbenedet mentioned this a few days ago but it looks like the guidance is coming around a little low quickly developing in the next 24 hours off the NC coast before getting shunted north to muck up our Friday with clouds and maybe some rain.

Too bad the waters are frigid otherwise we’d be talking (weak) tropical. 

In terms of a tropical threat—the Gulf Stream where this disturbance currently is, is certainly warm enough. The issue I see, especially out 12+ hrs  is dry air. 
 

Does still look like it will be an important pc of Friday’s weather forecast though...

Probably going to end up with 0.25” for today and yesterday, combined. Now back to a stretch of fair weather.

The WAR is coming so don’t get all neurotic about the dryness…when there is WAR, there is tropical rains.

Teleconnection wise this could be transient. Looks like the WAR flexes over very short term and then we’re back in a -NAO ish regime. MJO phase 1 aligns similarly.

Looks like persistence this week. Largely dry fropa in northern and eastern areas followed by Canadian airmass.

If NNE doesn’t cash in on appreciable rain the next 2 days, drought conditions going to jump this week. Starting to see shades of drought in the vegetation now, even in southern most areas.

GFS/GEFS hinting at tropical development off the SE Coast around day 4, and surface HP precluding a quick escape East. Not much of a signal but it’s late June in New England and the summer doldrums...so..we watch....

0.5” - 0.6”for DAW and PSM in 3 days. Points ~50 miles north probably ended up with half of that and surface HP is once again, overhead.

SNE stealing our rain again.

Suns popping out instead of raining, ha.

Yea and west. This really effin’ died as it moved East. I’ll be happy with 0.2” at this point.

Congrats 

That helps explain what I’m seeing in the local rivers lakes and streams down here near the coast. Vegetation is green but the rivers, lakes and streams are indicating closer to severe drought conditions.

There’s something to be said of this heat and how it contributes to the real long term drought conditions in terms of rivers/lakes/ponds/streams. I live adjacent to a cove that’s overflow from the cocheco river. This cove looks like it’s at risk of turning into a canyon and yet we’re in a mild drought. Neighbor who has been here since 2013 said he’s never seen it this low. I believe him. How many will be losing their river front views?...Subtle and a real medium term risk...

Pretty damn impressive heat for late spring.
