The ridge asserted itself a bit more into the 200's. Totally different look than the 0 and 6Z. With a new trough pressing down from the north and the ride limited to just more of a Northeast Atlantic ridge.

Trough just keeps "regenerating" on the MR gfs. Its not sharp but a great Ridge Block. Blue Florida.

It looked a little worse that last week or two with no troughing like we are going to get. Looking like a cross country ridge. Temp wise we are really heading into a great period it seems. 40's possible in colder LSV locales Sat and Mon Am.

12Z GFS for same period.

I felt sentimental as during the winter its a regular contributor. Most of the MR models are talking 7-10 days of cooler weather so I am taking that as the big news right now and thought it fun to see so many 40's on it. The GFS and Euro have been building the ridge over us in fantasy land for weeks now and they both keep pushing it back so personally I am waiting until its within 200 hours before too much fretting. With that said, if it takes getting near a ridge to get rain we may have to do it. The cool depictions are too dry.

Have not had an Icon viewing in a bit but throw another log on the fire. The MDT July 31 record is 53 in 1895.

Would be curious to hear opinions of people who go every year. In the 70's and 80's I went almost every year and the locations that had the Amish/Mennonite Ham and Cheese Sandwiches was not air conditioned, I Got It was not air conditioned, the grocery bucket raffle was out in the sun, etc....everything was going to be too hot for a day like today.

It makes my post weather related so I am taking it as fact.

So now they have weather issues, It's too darn hot. And I agree it makes no sense. I figured it was just cancelled last year and saw 2019 was September so was wondering why it coincided with now. My grandfather used to be part of a church group that would set up a stand/tent near the animals and give away free water. He is passed now but not sure he would have stood for being out this time of the year.

I was wondering...why is the York Fair so early now? I thought it was a September thing? Are they trying to get in before more lockdowns? I did just read Kohr's left the fair which was surprising.

Euro would have you chance hitting 90 on Thursday as well. So it really is which one is closet to being right. Euro is much cooler next week and more closely matches the GFS.

I think WU is a great resource. Have seen you commenting how it matches closely a couple time's in the last week or two. If you take out the extremes its a great indicator.

78 at 10:30 here. Feels hotter than it really is. Wundermap for the McHotness so far. Frequent mid 80's showing in Central LSV

Possibly last day for 90's through week one of August (tomorrow might be close for some)? EC vs. GFS.

Most of the nice temps I am seeing are in Early August so may get off to a pretty good below departure after week one if GFS is close.

Matches up well with the LNS 67. It does feel especially hot out this AM and I just walked out and did not see a cloud in the sky. This may be a day where we gain 30+ degrees (over here at least) on the high as compared to the low it started from.

That and if they tested her mid-event then the Covid testing is getting out of hand. LOL. I did read that Tokyo had their highest positives yesterday and some of the locals are pissed and want the Olympics gone. Not going to happen at this point though.

I read she landed awkwardly.

York had a low of 62 last night and LNS 67. It may truly be time to consider if MDT is a bad location for our representative. After the last two July's, this one has been a treat temp wise yet we still end up above normal because of the bad nighttime readings. (MDT or city temps in Harrisburg)

Of the 3 recent summers I have been back here, this one has been the most obvious that elevation helps in some situations. It was below 71 before midnight last night (here).

Yea, though Thur-Sat will probably end up be below norm at MDT it not enough to catch up to the 1/2 to 3/4 above normal they have now. May be close. MDT's high's are actually below normal it is the HIA lows that hurt it. The USA G.O.A.T. gymnast just pulled out from the Olympics team final.

Euro has all of us under some form of negative heights for almost the whole run past 48 hours. Also has the Nor'Easter look to it, that the GFS also had, the first week of August. Rain misses most of the forum though it does get Eastern and South Eastern LSV on the Euro.

6Z moved the possible record setting heat up a day or two but still fantasy land and little chance of happening per past performance. But before that we are talking as good as you can get with temps. We will be spoiled if that goodness plays out. Still so very, very dry.

A not too shabby 64 this AM. That will be warmer than most of the next 10 days lows per the GFS.

I did not look that closely outside this Thursday then randomly saw the 50's all day maps in NC. I did run through the 2M maps and did not see big heat so was not sad.
