Typhoon Tip

I remember speculating the bold was beginning to happen some 10 or 15 years ago. I used to rail on about it but stopped years ago when I realized that crickets don't engage in objective discussion -

I'm pretty sure ( personally ... ) at this point that throngs of humanity will literally be dying of heat -related "causality" one day, yet still, those same throngs of humanity will maintain a null mentality as to the why it is happening. Denial has become it's own religion, with the same predisposition to do so in those who possess the God gene - it's a real thing. Those that have the trait are something like 5 times more likely to devout ( some sarcasm here but who knows - ). But something like that is happening. Denialism as a phenomenon perhaps being motivated from that, within the general population density - as though it's manged to accessed that DNA trigger. It really does seem as though there is a 'faith' in the system correcting itself - like a predisposed belief or conception that that will happen. By extension... scheduling the Darwin Award.

Euro's attempting to end summer in 10 days

Last year was like this... We had something line 20" of rain through mid August or more here in town. Then there was that 9" rain bomb next door in Fitchburg and Leomenster... but it was apparently localized. There wasn't nearly a pan-dimensional anomaly as much as there were individual counties that were way above. I often scratched head as to why there wasn't more flooding issues ( though the flashing and road scouring event in Leomenster is noted) - perhaps it was related to less than unilateral distribution into water sheds/river basins? Just fractals. I don't see why Brian has to necessarily be left out to date, otherwise. Just randomly repeating aspect that looks organized ... until it doesn't. muah hahaha. The models are flirting with a stalled subtropical conveyor look, with training potential.

you're paying dues for that mega snow strike back in 2021 while the rest of us were relatively screwed.

Freakishly powerful positive charge, multi pulsing lightning bombs. 10 or 12 of them. The ones I saw blinked 4 or 5 times. Some the loudness thunder in many years heard.

We're not going back

Just did 18 holes at Shaker Hills ( overrated course ) ... It cleared to open sun at hole 9 and the rest of the way was an incredible sauna. It felt like the DP had to have been higher than 75 out there, and probably was with irrigation and water hazards dappled around the course works. Man, the air was tinting blue against distant tree lines and there was no wind. We found ourselves hunkering in the shade while other people hit. Dashboard therm was 88 back in the parking lot but ... 88 over 77 makes the T sort of irrelevant because there's nothing about that that is "88" - -no way. 91 back down town. We got anvil debris and towers leaning now

yeah...smearing Beryl's road kill up along a quasi stationary boundary that's paralleling the flow for optimum repetition

The last several runs of the operational GFS have been above normal temperature. But that run in particular had like every day 89 with a handful of days at 105 … The mean was like 94 …93 something like that. That’s why I said in the aggregate. I’ve often thought an interesting metric would be to calculate the number of hours above 90 and the number hours over 70 … or find the curve and integrate the curve to find out which heat waves have the greatest “IHC”-or integrated heat content.

May be the hottest single model run I’ve ever seen for aggregate in that 18z kiln run

Some of the highest "modeled" DPs I recall seeing up in this region of the continent ... 75 to 80 from the interior Del Marva to ALB and BOS late tomorrow through early Tuesday. Temperatures are not even that remarkably high, yet 500 mb hydrostatic heights are almost 580 dm and in fact are down around PHL to NYC. That's about as dense with theta-e as it can really be -

I don't know about weeks n weeks... but there's a heat wave (seasonal ) signaled Mon-Wed this upcoming week. probably 90 to 95 in range

Yeah I'm not sure I'm biting on their surface layout just yet with that 500 mb look. That looks like front(s) stalling west of ALB and establishing the gradient ( weak ) SSW-NNE along the I-95 corridor Mon-Thur. Plus theta-e pooling

Yeah ..I'm willing to bet the DPs are in general not being handled quite right given that deep layer synoptic look there. Should be a little higher than the upper 60s. Euro really struggles to keep 70+ through the area in quasi Bahama circulation mode and the GFS seems to hold them down a little too. we'll see But that could all be the case without Beryl

Here's tomorrow PM "dewy" dps for the general audience

it's in your imagination... we're still in the solar max until August 2nd or so

whatever it is ...it's growing on decking surfaces around the shaded elementation. It may not be black mold exactly, but the stuff in my bathroom worries me. I keep looking for it and have a hot bleach water mixture on stand by - it seems to kill it almost immediately. I have an exit fan in the bathroom but it's old and needs to be replaced. I want to have a match blow out at the base of the door when the fan is on to make sure it's actually trading air and moving outside - not sure what's in there is easy to the task. I'm scheduled to have mini split conversion for heat/cooling on the 22nd of July. Psyched for that. .. But my buddy had those put in and says they do have moisture settings so dehumidifying option - it's my first venture into this tech so we'll see. Need to replace the exit fan either way - with that and the mini splits should be better for moisture controls. CC's a bitch.

It's been the leitmotif going back a few summers. Early heat or early heat threats then decaying into a semi-permanent trough or weakness along 90W ... We end up blocked off from continental heat while stuck in a soup pump. Haven't even been many Bahama Blue patterns for it, either. Just shit sultry DP miasma packing east of Apallachia. Strong argument for central air with techy moisture controls because I've been seeing more and more of these mid summer black mold blooms like on outside fixtures, and have found it in the corners of my bathroom - insidious nasty filth. ... I'm seeing signs that's trying to set up yet again

Should be in the mid 80s around here today folks. I noticed this often enough in the past ... it seems around 9 am the day's opinion becomes official. LOL.

Bold above: Part and parcel in the synergistic heat wave phenomenon, which differentiates from seasonal heat wave climatology.

Interesting... because I've noted an early bias toward a quasi +AO rest state. I mean not huge, as that would imply. I'm not sure what thresholds are like prior to August 8th -10th ... which is the hemisphere's solar maximum. Post that, we're dimming rather fast up there. But prior to, it might be that +AOs have better retention capacity after early August, and that the +AO we've seen ( low amplitude ) is just not enough? hm

no... well that too, but I mean where the dp is driest

I feel like my point in sarcasm from the day before was made fairly well. Whenever you see risk assessments elevated east of ALB ... assume the scenario finds challenges to realization. There's that ... but in this case, I don't think the mid level lapse rates were helping matters. There was some organization into small linear segments but watching rad loops, it seemed the situation was a hybrid between that level or organization and just pulsing. Better lapse rates and perhaps a little more direction component to the total bulk shear... if we'd passed that over/through that 90/75 things would max better. Timing that 12z delivery over SE NY was useless too... We were vil choked across much of the area and doomed from the get go.
