4th of July weekend still doesn't look great. Gfs likely too progressive.

Gfs was correct with the Memorial weekend misery, will it be correct this time?

Would you rather have pressed your luck with said diseases or have gotten vaccine induced immunity. I think I'd rather get the vaccine and not chance it. Each disease is different too. We've yet to fully understand the after effects of COVID.

Ever heard of smallpox or measles. You think they just died out from natural immunity.

Natural immunity seems to last maybe 6 months tops. The science doesn't lie. 99.2% of current hospitalizations/deaths are from those unvaccinated. The vaccines are extremely effective. No one's forcing you to get one. At this point you're on your own just don't get upset if businesses or schools start requiring vaccination. It is also their right to do so, just ask Morgan Stanley. For the record I don't want unvaccinated people to meet their maker...that's psychotic. However there's no question cases will go up again in the fall/winter and the unvaxxed will be targeted. But w.e it's your risk not mine.

I frankly don't care. If they wanna risk their lives then by all means go ahead. Have fun gasping for air. And if the unvaccinated complain that they can't access certain places bc businesses require vaccination then I also don't care. Welcome to the free market.

There will likely be a decent resurgence next fall/winter mostly among unvaccinated. Delta variant is quite dangerous & transmissible so the unvaccinated will be at greater risk than ever before as virus will target them specifically.

Imagine another weather disaster for the July 4th weekend. Still very far out but it wouldn't surprise me if this verified.

So long crisp, dry conditions. We start turning up the heat tomorrow. Crazy double ridge scenario with places like Portland shattering records as we approach 100F.

Yeah we've lost almost 5 seconds already. Summer is just getting started. There's plenty of heat, dews & storms to come.

Get ready to make another thread for the next record heat wave in the Pacific NW. Seeing 110-115+ readings on some model outputs for Washington & Oregon.

Are we still pretending that ENSO events haven't changed dramatically over the past decade?

Very slow moving. It'll die out once it crosses into NJ.

It blows me away how already hot areas out west are only getting hotter and crushing previous records. Our summers have been very warm and muggy but I don't feel we've had the same levels of max heat since 2010-11. However us being consistently warm still gave us top 10 summers. I guess we'll see what July/August bring.

Some rare 40s this morning. Got down to 48F or something that we may not see again until late August or September.

Hot, steamy & stormy look. Nice

Air temp near 130F, ground is probably much hotter. Your shoes would melt on the concrete. Just insane levels of heat.

What does that mean for their fire season. Drought levels weren't close to this bad last year. I sense another catastrophic season, maybe worst we've ever seen.

Probably not getting out of the 60s today.

When is he not bullish? Whether it's a blizzard or hurricane he'll hype the crap out of it.

Maybe last week of June. Weeklies hint at ridging rebuilding around then. But with the growing drought in the west they'll have a tendency to see more ridging, which theoretically could lead to more troughiness here. We'll probably get bursts of hot weather but nothing sustained.

Yeah droughts around here are a joke.

You'd need systemic nationwide changes to curb emissions. A few people flying in a jet ain't doing diddly squat. Also how do you want people to get around...bike a few thousand miles.

Too much rain now for our area. Will make it more difficult to hit 100F unless things really dry out rest of June.

We'll probably oscillate between ridges & troughs. Ridging will try to focus over drought areas (currently in the plains out west, northern ne). We'll still get plenty of heat though.
