The “flavor” of this summer has already revealed itself. It’s gonna be a long, hot and dry one. This morning’s LWX AFD if you read to the end: .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Ridging is forecast to persist over the northwest Atlantic Ocean while broad troughing slowly drifts east over the central CONUS much of next week. This pattern results in several weak surface fronts drifting into the area and washing out, with daily low-end chances for showers and thunderstorms each afternoon/evening. Without a more obvious large scale feature, the prospects for any widespread drought busting rainfall look rather slim.

0.08”

That describes mby as well.

Yeah, that's true. While last winter was the best chance for an east coast KU, it was also the best chance for a 72-73 repeat. It just so happened that the latter did happen, except with a different monthly flavor. I agree with you in that I wouldn't say that last year's nino was acting only like a moderate. It was strong, and it showed in the STJ. The only time the STJ weakened or shut off was that January -EPO period, and ironically, that got us snow in the MA.

Low of 57

The only way this could possibly work is for the aleutian high to amplify NEward into -epo like it did in the middle of last January. Which ironically wasn’t driven by the el nino because there was no STJ for those 10 days

Perfect morning with a chilly breeze. 60s
-
It does seem like that kind of summer. Hot and dry most of the time where we routinely blow past 95 like its nothing. Doesn’t seem like the pattern will change anytime soon.

I just counted 16 90+ degree days for June imby (using the nearest PWS). 14 at IAD. Incredible.
-
90, but dews dropped to 68. Drier air moving in
-
Good to know. It’s not just the radar being lacking, but also when I look out west it’s almost full sun with minimal clouds… so that made me wonder
-
Cell approaching me fizzled. Which is fine, keep the heating going to further stretch the rubber band until it snaps. Hard. This heat and muggy air isn’t going away quietly.

Think the cap is about to break. Just looked out the window and the clouds have that look. Also a bigger cumulonimbus budding way out to my north.

94, HI 107 (dp 76) A heat advisory would have been justified. Probably was a tough call though due to cloudiness make that 95/78, HI 111

Interesting. It’s not clear from the article debunking the link what the statistical significance they found between nao and solar, and the research paper they linked to is paywalled. The other link that tries to find a link for February doesn’t really make a convincing case for it, imho. I’ll see if I can derive the p-value between those datasets broken down by month, just to satisfy my curiosity. If its well over 0.05 for all DJF months, that’s productive because I know I wouldn’t waste any more time on solar when predicting whether there will be blocking in the nao domain or not.

Unless storms fire up imby today, I’m sitting on 0.56” for the month of June. Very dry.
-
Somehow picked up 0.15” this morning.
-
Wow at that training… and getting missed to the north
-
Oh, and topped at 93 today. Humid enough for a HI of 104-105.
-
Last year we had a lot of splits and close misses. This year a whole lot of big fat nothing. I feel like we’re living in Utah right about now.
-
0.18”, not gonna put a dent into this drought. only 0.41” MTD.
-
Sure feels like it, and it shows in the grass
-
High of 97.3, think that’s where I’m topping out
-
95, some high clouds especially to the north. South/southwest is full sun. Probably will fall short of 100, but 97-98 very much in play
-
That puts round 1 in the 5-7pm time frame, which gives us lots of room for heating to maximize convection after initiation. Hopefully we all benefit.
