And yes I will mow the yard in 105 degree temps.

Stupid prefrontal trough. Out there mowing the yard and the wind is blowing out of the west. What a bummer.

God hates my yard

Towers going up. Not hopeful tjo

Thank you sir! i will say this:. If 83-84 is an analog, a mid August cold front is certainly a possibility!

Who said summer was boring? well, it was probably me. But I snapped an image of a dust devil at the intersection near my home.

The December 83 dump was so anomalous, it rivals the outbreak of February 1899. We could drive our cars across lakes. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/fwd/?n=dec1983 http://www.srh.noaa.gov/fwd/?n=feb1899

I was playing around with some numbers today. Doing some contour plotting of different indices. What I have found is it's the PDO. A positive PDO would override everything else except extreme circumstances such as last year's super Nino. I'll play with it some more as soon as we get the QBO and ENSO state squared away.

Greetings from the Dominican Republic! An easterly wave is supposed to drift in tonight and tomorrow. Hope to have some good pics!

Looks like another MCV forming off to the WNW.

Nice little swirl with this thing!

It's funny you bring up a wake low. I was looking at famous heat bursts earlier this week in anticipation of these storms.

Interesting V shape to the system.

Got visual on anvil off to my NW

Yes. The soil is pretty much saturated. Actual temps don't really matter here because if it's 90, the humidity is insane. However the cloud cover from remnant storms combined with the moisture induced temps and southerly flow, makes this summer almost tolerable.

This zonal flow is singular. Amazed at the last two nights and looking at night three setting up.

Some nice natural fireworks headed this way. Night into day!

You may be onto something. They seem to be getting their act together. Though they would pretty much have to head due east. Last night's convection was a pretty rare event. Typically the only time we get nocturnal convection like that in July or August is with a warm core type system.

The DP is 76 and 90 T. It's pretty freaking hot.

Think you've got a shot.

Welcome! Trade snow for severe weather.

Spend a week with no power, no heat, frozen toilets, cooking on the fireplace and house bound because snarls of power lines are everywhere and you'll learn to hate ice storms.

Thanks for the background. Always wondered why turnagain arm had the ridiculous winds. Alaskan weather is fascinating. Don't know how it would be to think of 974 lows as the warmup act.

great googly moogly. From the NWS: Saturday Night: Showers. Lows in the mid 40s to lower 50s. Southeast wind 35 to 50 mph with local gusts to 65 mph. Along turnagain arm and higher elevations...southeast wind 70 to 85 mph with gusts to 110 mph after midnight. Sunday: Rain likely. Highs in the lower to mid 50s. Southeast wind 35 to 50 mph with local gusts to 65 mph. Along turnagain arm and higher elevations...southeast wind 70 to 85 mph with gusts to 110 mph. Like how they casually throw in the "gusts to 110 mph". Pretty chuckle-icious.
