There still is some dry air and TUTTs around too. I saw an image of a lot od dry air near and north of 98-l and also still getting these hot 850 plumes ripping off Africa. At least at this moment, it's not all coming together. An easy way to see this is looping the GFS and Euro. We know when they spit out those lows in the extended something is favorable...even if they are too bullish. That's not even happening! I do think it gets better heading into September.
Yawn. Still looks like some issues out there with these disturbances regardless how super-duper awesome the MJO is. I suppose 98-l or whatever it is east of the Antilles, could become something if it can avoid land.
I've been watching some hockey more and more. I could care less about the Sox. NBA meh. Football, everyone opts out so who knows what this season brings.
I will say that we are on the edge of the heat dome. So either convection/convective debris clouds, or maybe some subtle shifts from a nrly wind direction could/may temper it. Either way, looks like a warm stretch.
