Crazy warm SSTs off the East Coast. Could see some homegrown tropical systems later this season. And with all that ridging some of them could be steered west.
Models go for another strong ridge after the holiday but it's centered SW of us vs directly over and then it retros west.
If that holds true then we'll avoid another 100+ stretch.
If they hit 100+ it'll be difficult to hit that again especially if our monsoon like climate emerges in the summer. Weeklies show a flat ridge with a focus out west
That plus peak sun angle makes me strongly feel this will be our hottest period of the summer
