Reached 88 so far this afternoon, but temps just dropped to 87 as of 3pm.

Let's hope what JB says about this 4th of July doesn't come true. The 00z GooFuS has this for the 4th of July weekend: July 2nd: July 3rd: This 4th of July:

Completely overcast today thanks to the stratiform and debris clouds from the recent Super MCS. Second time that happened this month. Can't seem to go at least a month without an overcast day this year. With very little rain today, this was an absolute waste of any of the dry time. We may very well be repeat that tomorrow before the heat is on the day thereafter.

Only got a hundredth of an inch from today's Super MCS thanks to the persistent cloud cover the entire day today.

Another good way to kill Summer with that much rainfall.

Had a good SOI rise from 6/13 to 6/15, but now we see a massive SOI crash from 6/18 to today. Date Tahiti (hPa) Darwin (hPa) Daily Contribution 30 day Av. SOI 90 day Av.

Shades of 2009/1992 6-10 day: 8-14 day: Even though today's CFSv2 weeklies look like this for Weeks 3-4:

Not as the Memorial Day 2019 beast.

Topped out at 92.

Temps really overperformed. Hit 91 at 4pm. First 90 of the year.

Only year Dayton didn't hit 90 until August was in 2008, which was the latest first on record. There had been only 3 years Dayton didn't hit 90 at all: 1958, 2000, and 2004. With the cicadas around, we might as well head towards a 2004 redux. We'd waste a hot pattern if we didn't tag 90 at all, just like a cold pattern in the Winter being wasted with very little snow. Even though BAMWX is hinting potential big heat late this month into early July, here's something from our coldmeister JB. JB is apparently hugging the Euro instead of the GooFuS this time.

ZZZZZZZ 6-10 day: 8-14 day: BAMWX has something about beyond the 8-14 day outlook.

Starting to trend cool and dry on today's 8-14 day outlook.

July will be rockin'. Heck, DAY, CVG, and Indy all haven't even been 89'd yet this year and doesn't seem to look that way for the foreseeable future. Looks like this week and beyond are going to be a wash as we will be under the influence of a cutoff low that was responsible for the soaking rains over the past week down in Texas. The GooFuS is even hinting this for next weekend.

We're now in phase 7 of the MJO, but it's about to fall into the COD soon. For this time of the year, Phase 7 into the COD would mean cooler-than-normal temperatures and equal-chances for above-normal or below-normal rainfall for the foreseeable future. 6-10 outlook: 8-14 outlook: With no signs of siginificant heat in the forseeable future and the potential of drier-than-normal conditions, these outlooks say ZZZZZZZZ.

Only hit 84. NWS forecast high today was a little too warm.

Based on the graphics, Brett seems to be hinting persistent troughing from the Midwest to the Northeast.

Time to punt June soon https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-blogs/anderson/heat-to-concentrate-over-the-western-u-s-this-month/957748

Only hit 69, the 2nd day in a row to not reach 70.

Currently in Phase 7 of the MJO. Looks to be going to mainly Phase 8 soon before falling into the Circle of Death.

Must be Joe Bastardi in disguise. Anyway, another nail in the coffin occurring today. First the chilly Memorial Day weekend, and now a washout on this 2nd day of June, potentially into the day tomorrow. The weekly overcast days still lingering into this month. If only this was Winter.

MJO is all over the place into the first half of June.

The first several days of June won't really feel like it, though. A crapfest of a start is underway with another fall-like system. To add insult to injury, TWC was hinting temps not getting out of the 60s on Wednesday while the GooFuS is hinting highs barely reaching into the lower 60s. Won't be long until NWS caves to TWC soon.
