I feel like we don’t realize that (+17C from 850 to 2m) as much in July without a strong compressional wind flow…like the classic 29015G25 deal. Otherwise transpiration usually does us in.
7/22/2011 soundings (23/00z) were 23C at ALB and 26C at CHH with weak CAA. So we were pulling those 100-103s with probably 24-25C 850s and strong west flow behind the prefrontal trough.
