I feel like models sometimes show things that aren’t plausible in reality (I’m thinking of a time that the GFS was showing 107 in an area of Florida relatively close to the coast during a SE ridge situation, and a time this past winter when the CMC was showing a low of 14 if I remember correctly for Phoenix). Is it possible that such effects can occur in the PNW? I can’t say I’ve spent any time analyzing how well the models do in that region of the country.

Haven’t had time to do much of the reading yet, but is it possible that his opinions on the matter are being taken out of context and molded to fit an agenda?

Keep that heat up in the Palouse, I don’t want it here.

If his opinion is being promoted by a source so far into the lunatic fringe as The Defender, that says enough.

Re: the second link, I pulled this statement directly from The Defender’s website: Entrenched power centers have politicized, hijacked and openly censored science, hobbling authentic debate over critical issues including vaccines, 5G, glyphosate and other pesticides, climate change, water quality, fluoride and chronic disease. need I say more?

Absolutely. I’ve enjoyed this week tremendously, whether it returns in 3 days or 3 weeks or 3 months won’t diminish from that.

Thanks for the reminder of how miserable last July was. Hopefully this July will allow me to forget. (And not in the way that they say you lose thinking capacity when it’s hot out.)

Not as bad as you guys, it looks like MDT didn’t have an 8 day 90 streak, but there were 13 days there last July that were as hot or hotter than the 94 we reached.

We strung 8 of them together in Pittsburgh from the 3rd to the 10th, so I believe that.

Big disclaimer there. It’s the high end of potential guidance for sure, and not yet fully a trend.

Well technically we hit 98 once in 2012 and 97 on 3 other days in 2012, but again that’s the only year out of the past 25 where we got that hot (on the flip side, we’ve had 4 years in that time period including two in a row that never got to 90). That’s after 3 years in a row from 1993-1995 that all got to at least 97 here. It’s incredible how little of the truly ridiculous summer heat we’ve gotten in recent times. ”We” meaning Pittsburgh. I didn’t live in PA at the time, so I’m only going off of data here.

But is it a matter of whether or not it makes sense? Is another person’s decision to wear a mask somewhere affecting you in any way?

RE: excessive heat here - 2012 is the only year since 1995 that we’ve even gotten as high as 97 at PIT. The bigger problem is if the front can’t decisively knock down the ridge, then our only two other options are a wet holiday weekend or an oppressively hot holiday weekend.

Hoping there’s still another chance for the models to back off. There’s a 94 on the Euro here, which I know translates to being even a couple degrees warmer than that if it’s 94 at 18z. Milestones like 95 and 100 are a rarer commodity out here than they are at MDT.

If you put Kyler on stilts.

A fantasy? He’s going to be my fantasy QB this year, that’s for sure.

Fall is ****ing glorious, man. The taste of it that we got this week will still be almost fresh in our minds when it returns in 90 days or less.

On the bright side, it’s almost July, which means it’s almost almost August, which means it’s almost almost almost September. My Pirates and @Itstrainingtime’s Orioles won’t be playing any meaningful games in those months, but Dwayne Haskins will win the starting nod in the meantime and begin the Steelers’ journey to a 7th Super Bowl.

Of course it is, and the 18z GFS translates that airmass east (though it flattens out the flow a little and it won’t be as extreme). Still, I see a 94 on that run.

I’ll forgo an analysis of the 18z GFS, as it’s the 18z GFS and we’ve already plowed through 5+ pages in this thread today.

Well aren’t they all, all the time? But yes, a wide range of possibilities for the first half of next week depending on where the western Atlantic ridge sets up. And one of those possibilities includes a chance of reaching 90.

Their all time record is 107...

Toss. That cold front in the Dakotas and that low over KY/TN could spoil the holiday for some. Oh wait, they don’t celebrate Juneteenth in those parts. Plus it’s on a Thursday anyway, so those that have off will have to go back to work the next day anyway. You’re good.

That is true too, the ridge hasn’t been shoved aside at that point and could lead to a stationary front in the wrong place/garbage weather pattern for the holiday weekend.

The heat signal for next week looked good with a lot of model agreement yesterday. Now there’s model agreement in the opposite direction (except for the Euro to some extent) with the ridge shifted way east. The weather app is always a good litmus test for this, and it doesn’t look good for what you want to see.
