    Decent storms overhead here. I keep forgetting average highs are in the low-mid 60s now and my perception of what a “normal” fall is supposed to feel like is becoming skewed. More seasonable weather for the rest of the week, but the extended sure looks warm after the Fri/Sat cooldown.

    The weather will do what it does, regardless of our expectations. We can analyze the patterns, but getting emotionally attached to a particular outcome doesn’t really serve a purpose. Unfortunately, some people become so invested in what they want to happen that when the pattern suggests otherwise, objectivity gives way to defensiveness.

    Wow, MSP hit 90° again today. Latest back-to-back 90° days on record.

    The record was indeed tied today, impressive stuff.

    looks manic tbh

    It was still a top 10 warmest September for Chicago in spite of that, though obviously aided by the first four days of the month, which were a complete blowtorch.

    dude is a living meme

    CPC gave Texas the highest chances for above average temperatures, yet it ended up coolest relative to average, so there you go. With your line of thinking, they may as well have put the entire country in the "equal chances" zone.

    If the anticipated decay of the Niño occurs during that timeframe (or ideally later), it would favor another warm and active spring for the Midwest especially. I’ll take it.

    Late July 2013 featured a legitimately impressive cold snap, with daytime highs barely reaching 60° in Madison, which was truly October-like. Today, by contrast, temperatures have already climbed into the 70s despite the rain and persistent northeast winds, so it's not really all that noteworthy. Though I suppose it may feel that way after the hot July we just had.

    Take a look at their July temperature outlook, issued on the final day of June, and compare it to how the month actually played out. I'd take their monthly outlooks with a grain of salt.

    The bigger story is that July 2026 ended as the sixth warmest July on record at MSP, which is especially notable given the ongoing, strengthening Nino. Bringing up the earliest snowfall on record isn’t relevant and doesn’t feel appropriate to add in the discussion.

    The negative height anomalies near the Gulf of Alaska, together with the core of the strongest negative height anomalies over northeastern Canada, look reasonably Nino-like to me. Summer ENSO teleconnections are much weaker and noisier than in winter, so I wouldn't expect a textbook composite. Given that, the broad pattern still seems fairly consistent with a mature El Nino.

    Chicago dodged what likely would've been its hottest day of the year thanks to today's storms. Rockford and Madison reached the mid-upper 90s under plenty of sun, and even Detroit ended up warmer. Pretty unlucky (or lucky) depending on how you view it, and also a really bizarre set-up.

    Seems delusional to think otherwise at this point tbh.

    not if the 12z Euro verifies.

    600 dm ridge as far north as MN, wow.

    Give me a spring like 1977 next year please. Still remains the warmest on record in my city, even beating out 2012 (and by far the warmest May). Kinda doesn’t really make sense either as it was a complete outlier in an era that was dominated by cold seasons in general (not just winter). Wonder what led to that happening.

    Strongest Niño on record with no precedence along with other competing factors and even some lingering niña-like effects. Wouldn’t be confident at all in making calls for the upcoming winter, especially at this juncture. Only confidence is that it’ll likely be very warm at times, and very statistically unlikely to be as cold as last winter in the East (even without taking ENSO into account).

    Early July heat wave misses us to the east, and now it’s looking as though the mid-July death ridge will miss us to the west. Go figure. It’ll probably still be slightly above average, but no 100s any time soon.
  21. cmillzz
    This is a historic heatwave… just not for this region. A sudden, significant eastward shift in the ridge spared much of the Midwest from significant triple-digit heat. Otherwise, cities like Chicago, Detroit, and Des Moines likely would have some days over 100°F. Philadelphia hasn't been as fortunate. The city reached 103°F yesterday, breaking the daily record (or tying at least), and climbed to 102°F today. Another 100°F day tomorrow would make this only the third time in its 150+ years of weather records that Philadelphia has recorded three consecutive days of 100°F or higher. What makes this especially impressive is that this is occurring in a developing super Niño year (pre Niño summers in general tend to have cooler summers). It’s not the biggest sample size, but there’s no precedence for a heatwave of this magnitude occurring anywhere east of The Rockies.

    been much warmer and wetter than a "normal" spring and will continue to be for the forseeable future, but okay lol
  23. cmillzz
    define “normal”
  24. cmillzz
    It was always obvious this was going to be a very warm spring tbh, but some people kept trying to hang on to winter for as long as possible.
