The GFS has completely fallen apart as far as how deep it is mixing the boundary layer. It has been missing by 10+ degrees from a few hours out in the Midwest heat wave. Ignore the surface temps from the operational runs. That said, still nasty out there to our west. 100/78 at OHare today.

12z Euro trying to home brew. Eastern Gulf storm at 150.

90/80 at 11am at OHare. Worse in other parts of the Midwest. All glory to the eastern trough.

It is amazing how we don't even get the rollover heat this year. Bless the eastern trough.

I was 88 yesterday, definitely a bust low with the reduced solar input.

Spire is a private company who is in the low-earth orbiting satellite game. They are trying to assimilate proprietary satellite data to improve models. They also want to sell their data to NOAA and Congress is on board with the private sector providing data.

This may be as lively as our grass has looked as we approach late August. Even in the record precip year (2018) there was a short span of no rain in July that torched it. The continuous rain here since late June has done the job.

Currently in Florida. Stepped into the Gulf water at Clearwater and it was bath tub. 91.

Really nice out this morning with a breeze and 70/60.

I can hear your cell grumbling from the western side of the Beltway. 0.11" today, so a miss, but we have done plenty well over the last two months.

Wild that the main stripe and NW cutoff were in eerily similar positions as yesterday.

We’ve had a run of later summer severe in the last several years. It is making up for about nothing in Apr/May.

Kudos to LWX to hit the Flash Flood Warning early. I was skeptical based on radar, but these are efficient as hell. I’m at 0.61” despite being on the periphery.

@yodaand @H2O Looking good for you.

(Insert La Plata comment here)

At least you aren't west of Dulles.

I should have posted this one in here.

People went too high for most summers. It is a minority of years that hit 100.

Over a half inch, which takes me to nearly 11" since July 1st. Quite the turnaround from that dud of a first half of the year.

Again.

The accurate readings from south FL are bad enough. 94/80 as a ballpark reading.

12z NAM Nest did have some showers around. 0.05” here

We are planning on that trip sometime in the next 5 years. Are you happy with the time of year?

Raining. Interesting.
