The best way to really put it is we haven't seen anything totally out of the ordinary or anything anomalous. We've had some hot days and we've had some cool days. But we have not entered a constant or consistent pattern which we really shouldn't be anyways given we're in the mid-latitudes. The pattern should really only be more consistent during the dead of summer (July/August) and dead of winter (January/February). Sometimes I think it would be better to view anomalies in terms of standard deviation as opposed to just an "average".

We've been above-average since mid-May...obviously driven moreso by warm mins, but even high's have been above-average. While we certainly have had some cool days this just goes to show that when we've had these cool days they really aren't far off from climo, but when we have the warmer days we're a good several-degrees or so above climo.

Historically, most of our HHH periods come closer to mid-July. Like dendrite said, we've had some hot days...and of those few they were quite hot. It's still relatively early for such prolonged periods. Even what's happening across the Missouri Valley east to the mid-Atlantic coast is a bit early...not totally uncommon but it's quite the prolonged stretch

The 8th TriState Weather Conference hosted by Western Connecticut State University will be held Saturday, October 15, 2022 at Western Connecticut's Midtown Campus in Danbury, CT from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM! Registration is $35. For those who has never been it's a very fun time. There have been some great presentations in the past. It was also an honor to be involved in the preparation process one time as a student. Additional information can be found on the link below: https://www.wcsu.edu/weatherconference/

In all seriousness...it's only mid-June lol. Probably up until recently (as in the past decade) have we ever really entered more consistent stretches of heat and humidity...and I'll define that as temperatures ~85 or greater with dewpoints > 65. Obviously these thresholds need to be adjusted for location (proximity to water, elevation, latitude). It really used to be like first few weeks of July for the big heat and then we would really crank dewpoints (>70) more like later part of July and August.

84-mph at ORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did the observer at ORD take cover????? Waiting for a METAR update

Maybe we can get some solid elevated convection Thursday night.

I was getting all tingly looking at mesoanalysis in the OV but now I'm depressed

Forecast supercell composite parameter later Too bad they capped

KCVG dewpoint hit 80! Wish we could get that

191-days until cutter and rain season returns

unfortunately no fun for us with this one and looks like we get screwed with timing at the end of the week. sigh

That's about where I was thinking the northern fringe of the complex would track but some of the models indicate this could become a pretty large complex so maybe the northern fringe does get farther north like the NAM shows.

The NAM/GFS are awfully far north with that MCS/"derecho" for tonight/tomorrow. Although the GFS seems more realistic with where it should actually track.

We can only hope. I've been trying really hard not to get too excited for anything 5+ (sometimes even 3+) days the past few years (including winter). But it's nice to see this potential still on the table from a few days ago. Going to be lots to iron out with how things evolve.

I did see that movie when I was super young…I think that’s what started my spider fear and speaking of spiders is this one of those ones that are supposed to fall from the sky???

My uncle used to see them when he lived at a stable when taking care of horses. This is a huge part of climate change that nobody talks about…big massive spiders starting to populate the north b/c the climate is becoming conducive for them. Pretty soon wolf spiders will dominate and we’ll be seeing brown recluses everywhere along with black widows and the Australian massive spider guy. This really isn’t a good situation

I don’t think we can fully enjoy summer until we get into constant 85-90+ with dews > 70

It's like a slow blow to the gut

GFS has a fairly good looking severe threat next Friday!!!!! WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE A WEEK OUT??? It probably will become more poopy as we move through the week....ughhhh this is a pathetic summer for convection...absolute crap. Can't get anything solid....nothing good...not even any decent setups.

I don't think you could draw a more perfect hodograph...maybe just slightly strengthen the shear more between each major level.

ruined my card game last night

This breeze is PISSING me off. Trying to play cards outside and the breeze be blowing them away
