Starting to look like more run of the mill type heat for most especially the city and east. The eastern periphery of the ridge is prone to backdoor fronts and cloud/T-storms. Also looks like winds will try hard to veer onshore which heightens the humidity but would make it hard to reach 95. But if we have dewpoints well into the 70s with temps over 90 it’s still disgusting. Just not historic, more like our more typical FL type heat of late. Inland away from the seabreezes or backdoor intrusions can likely make it to 100.

Totally socked in here with fog. Haven’t seen the sun in 5 days. Truly wretched stretch.

Day #5 with rain.

I mean if it’s 94/78 that’s a 110 heat index which is quite dangerous. 104/68 is a 111 heat index.

If the ridge axis is to our west it makes it more likely the heat gets broken up by a backdoor front or T-storms. And there’s the southerly wind too that will try any day to factor in and cool it down. It’s just really tough to get these 5+ day big heatwaves especially the last 5 years or so.

Please move the political/bickering stuff somewhere else.

If it really does go over 100 I could see real problems with the power grid. It’s heat we haven’t had in a few years and everyone’s been used to this Seattle weather. But there are plenty of ways it could still trend to run of the mill.

4 days with rain in a row.

If the ridge gets too steep it’ll turn our winds southerly and the worst heat will overshoot our area again. Still plenty of time for that to happen.

Well, you won’t be needing a blanket.

These WNW flow heat events are where we really roast and heights are absurdly high. We’ll see if that verifies (107 is likely too high but could definitely be 100+ if we get the downslope WNW flow) or it becomes our more typical southerly flow FL type heat.

Misery mist city.

Ain't that the truth.

And maybe big storms. Sometimes we see derechos or big storm complexes on the periphery of these heat dome ridges.

In the winter because the overrunning would be better this would likely be heavy 1-2”/hour snow. We only get these in the summer now on weekends.

That might be a good pattern to get MCS or derechos to track through from the Midwest. Looks like a ring of fire type pattern.

Where I live now it seems like the worst of both worlds-we get the high humidity being somewhat close to the shore but it’s able to heat up a lot before the seabreeze eventually gets here by 4-5pm sometimes. Springs can be brutal in Long Beach but it’s nice to have low 80s there while the city, N Shore and inland are well into the 90s and sweltering. I was in TX a couple weeks ago and felt that kind of heat again-not a fan whatsoever of being soaked in sweat within 5 minutes being outside.

High pressure/confluence to our NE, but the easterly wind might just mean tons of misery mist.

Some of these have to run warm. It’s not 96 in Huntington lol. 90 I can believe.

90 at the house.

Must be compressional heating. Upper 80s to 90 showing up in places like East Meadow and Valley Stream but the barrier islands are upper 70s. Seabreeze boundary looks like along the Southern State.

Another washed out weekend? NEVER I tell you!

Might be hazy tomorrow-HRRR shows another smoke plume coming east behind the front.

The lawns are green at least. Nothing worse than staring at endless brown dead grass.

Misty misery Monday.
