Typhoon Tip

For some reason I don't recall last June having "big heat" numbers ( >= 95) that often. It was what whatever it was ... but what I remember was insane DPs. I mean, it was 76 to 80 in a heat wave that was held down to 94 here along Rt Poop ...I thought at the time, because the DP was too rich to allow the kinetic temperature to rise any higher without two suns shinin' ... I had a window AC unit, and my home refrigerator both conk out on me that same 3 day period -so it was 'hitting technology hot' I'm just wondering if the heat was baked into the DPs more so.. All that water in air was like protectiong from big heat by obnoxiously choking us with thick theta-e. Nighttime lows were kept redic high because of that same factor. But imby high temps around here seldom exceeded 93 ..94. There were in fact a lot 90, an unusual high number of days - so yes ...it was hot. Not meaning to imply it did not feel that way. How many record high temps were actually broken last June? I wonder how the month on whole compared historically... Could have been a historically hot month packed into the low temps, too.

00z NAM came in jet nozzle hot on Friday 29C at 980mb out at Logan in a WSW light wind and ceiling RH < 50% … translates to 34 or even 35(95) in the 2-m

This has been a June that seems to never happen anymore - average. Unremarkably deviating from climate enough to say anything in either direction. It shows in the numbers … it f felt that way. Utterly uninspired to the point of laze faire Maybe drier than normal in whole ? But locally we’re doing okay here. Probably equally as “amazing”

Ha but that kinda flash has enough electron-volts to convert you directly to potash. Prooobably wouldn’t be telling anyone about it

Just went thru an amazing cg eruption here. heh not bad for “… maybe a passing shower”

Yeah ... we've been stuck in a NW flow aloft that when not NW... tries to tuck NE even at 500 mb - recall that closed low two weeks ago? That had no business even behaving like that in June... weird to close that off then retrograde it down to the Carolina's, then back N all the way up to to get us on exit. These are strange times... There's other odd things going on that are happening under people's awareness, but I think are CC-related... like, troughs ALONG THE 594 F'UM non-hydrostats! You don't trough arc into heights that high. It also goes along the point I was making last week, that we are seeing disproportionately cool lower tropospheres relative to the isohypses. 582 heights with 60s at the surface is a weighted quite strange. I think the HC pressing into N latitudes is steepening the ambient/planetary mid level gradient, which is enhancing the summer-time polar jet --> leads to unusually defined R-wave identities ... Look at that 12z D10 Euro ... That's a dream configuration in February.... But I guess at 572 to 594 heights, it just lends to these idiosyncrasies in summer... We've been closer to 100 F at 582 heights... but the GFS is using the depth to close off N'easters in the extended at times.

I never really could understand why monsters are always depicted like some reptilian slope-eyed scaly creature with oversized canines and bird talons I mean, if you're a monster, shouldn't you rather be some variation of uber hot? You know, actually alluring enough to draw in your victims - not inspire notions of something that must eat meat, like that image suggests. I dunno.. Maybe it is the vague semblance of what those types of hideous visages purport, that is really only "hideous" because it's built into our perceptions at an instinctual level - what is or should be construed as monster. That would in fact BE anything that eats us, when we would rather not be eaten. You look around in nature and that is sort of reptilian ... "demon eyed" look is doing most of that kind of eating. Look at your beloved house cat - they are predatory, and they have a hint at that eye slopage. Dogs? When they feel threatened or set to guarding they expose their teeth and slope their eyes. Interesting. I tell you.... the scariest demon ever will be the Bambi that hides amongst us.

Isn't this where PF works... https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/suicide-six-ski-resort-vermont-name-change/index.html

not as such ...but, at this range ... it's meaningless to speculate whether that would or won't happen. That kind of look usually precede - +PNAP hold big heat bag and capped mixing really gets a huge plume created, then... E Pac relay into western N/A dislodges ( PNAP drops)... and the heat comes with it. Presently the synoptic resonance 'resolves' into a +PNAP D8-14 with huge anomaly out there. These ens means keep trying to get there even by D7's ...so there something more to it than just noise out in time. I think it's worth keeping an eye on. Not to bog down the discussion, but when there are big heat numbers piling over days, that can effect the pattern. The perennial pattern (absence of anomalies in either direction) features a basal flat ridge in the west with a nadir exiting the EC. It's just the long term climate mean. But heat tends to cause anticyclonic motion around it. If there are environmental feed-backs causing heat to build (pattern ..sun ..dry earth..), that than super impose a constructive interference over the perennial signal, and that causes it to exaggerate the ridge expression. ... I'm speculating some model error here... But like this 12z GFS ... The last 5 cycles aft of this solution have all trended higher with the heights in the E as the extended time ranges, relay into the mid range. There are two aspects going on. The models are two low with heights over the eastern continent ...~ D7 -11's .. So they correct up as that time range becomes more like 4 to 9...particularly the nearer side. However, not coming completely far enough to get us into the truly high heat. One of these times the correction may be sufficient to survive a nasty kinetic slab of air this far.

I'll tell you though.. there are some extraordinary heat signals setting up from California through Pheonix to the Kansas/Nebraska and Texas regions.. The positive mode of the PNA in the summer can be really bad for them...

You know ...this is gonna seem a bit 'out there' as a perspective on matters. But it's really like models are catching the atmosphere doing a weird thing: keeping the lower troposphere cold amidst a warm non-hydrostat. The 500 mb circulation medium, really from Thursday out to the end, seldom ever sees the 582 isohypses collapse S of BUF-BOS ...yet, there are several days in the GFS oper that would have it struggle to make 71 over the course of the next 12 days. There are some mid 80s in there, granted, but ...if we're doing that down here, it's not exaclty 'warmer' up there when in the absence of 'over-the-top' .. We've sported temps in the mid to high 90s at 582 heights... but this has been going on where the heights are not low, only the hydrostatic heights and mainly below the 800 mb level have been disproportionately cool.

Same here... been bouncin' 93 94 over the past hour. I realize DPs are down but it feels hot. We've gone and done it

Check out Logon ... can that be right? ESE at nearly 20mph sustained for over an hour, and they're putting up at 86 F temperature. wth. I wonder if the nearer coastal SSTs are beginning to respond to all this surface pile up from unrelenting llv shits flow -

Plus ... Kevin. Huh huh!

Same down here. I mean you know I have a weird diurnal fetish but this is 3rd on the change for me this spring and summer. It was 63; it is now 93. Dry as a mo' fo though... wow. It's like lick one's lips dry. Never thought we chap in late June but maybe this is another CC gem. I dunno. If one owns a garden, best to leave a hose just above trickle rates at the high end and let it circulate around the top soil - do NOT spray the leaves. I see people spraying their garden foliage with near mist under lasing sun around this town... huh.

It's funny you mentioned that ... I was thinking about that or a summer around then ( perhaps that was it ), whence there was a freak kind of winter look over eastern Canada, simultaneously, while also sitting there processing ...whatever Juliana was talking about over brunch - ( forget it ... one has to understand the mind of the eternally afflicted ) You know, one thing that I noticed when looping these oper runs. The non-hydrostats don't really fall very far beneath 582 at Boston's latitude, despite those open circular sander looking grinder troughs running through S-SE Canada. In fact, really only for 6 -12 hours, two different intervals, otherwise, they are at or above that metric. Despite the look of that ... it's not a "cold" look. It's a FAST look. One thing that is for certain, either way... that is very anomalously fast velocity jet for this time of year. But it's not a circumstance native to just this out look -it's been pretty much in the books as a seasonal bias. It's been that way every summer too since 1998 but I won't care to argue ... This really strikes to me as an example of the expanded HC... It's "pressing" +height anomalies into the 40th/mid latitudes... and that induces unusually steep gradient in that region. It's documented stuff. I mean I hate to bring it up. I realize how sexually aroused Ray gets when he reads H and C in capital letters in any sentence that implicates climate change, however subtly, is augmenting circulation modes ...but sorry - it is what it is. I'm not making this shit up myself... Altho - I feel I deserve some credit because I began noticing higher ambient velocities prior to the papers getting published, and I remember commenting way back in the 2010s about noticing higher heights pressing N from the S... but whatever - I don't give a shit. As long as Ray is annoyed ...I think we can all agree there's really a systemic change

Not even July and we have established a solid MDR conducive pattern, as well... have an MDR wave about to designate - pretty impressive on both accounts. 94L isn't merely some frontal booked astride the GA coast or coughing partially exposed thing in Gulf (NHC uses as an early awarenes/PR device...lol) It is one of those that is revealing its presence by torquing the entire ITCZ field prior to convection - a real wave.

It's interesting what's going on in the models - the operational versions... and they're all carrying on with the same idea, too. For the next week to 10 days, they are ejecting Sonoran/SW heat released air masses then taking them along flatter arced trajectories, all the way across. The heat plume wend their N edges to about mid state Michigan's latitude ... Then, ESE from there. They miss our region but are however close enough that their skirt +15 to +18C 850mb does occasional waft over us. We may not make big heat numbers, but an above normal look. Yet, the flow construct above the border with Canada looks cold. The Euro in fact does get 20 to 21C in here at least for one day..I think next Sat... This footprint pattern seems to then set up a similar scenario later on. It's like today, then Thu -Sat, another two day lull, and then another flat surge maybe D10 -12/13 The whole while, the flow construct along and N of the Can/U.S. border just cannot seem to shake these blocking nodes, which the models even gather into a SPV structure over eastern Canada that sets over top. It's kinda strange... Typically when +16 to +21C charged cyclic ejecta swath the country, there is more subtropical ridging...

Mixed motivation ... Like, I have 3 or 4 home stations tied into Wunder's network, all within 1.5 miles of mi casa ... I've come to find that their average is within a degree or metric of the average between KFIT, KASH, KBED. It seems the need isn't really there. It's a perception of need ( in my opinion ..) and I don't like that. It's a principle dislike I carry on with about western possession-based economics ...which gets into a whole nother popsicle headache philosophical purity thing that I'm sure everyone on here is just dying to hear about...lol I just I don't get the purpose, when any variance between those access points/methods is pretty much going be 0 after having installed a device imby.

give it 3 hours

Yup... BDL just surged 6 F in 25 min... 75 to 81 ... We're probably going to see some spikes here soon...then level slower rises to 90

Yeah...I was casting that sentiment to ... k12345 or whatever his/her handle is ..that acclimation plays a factor ( obviously ) in how 'heat' is perceived. I mean, we probably don't really even mention today and tomorrow in mid August, as by then, we've had at least 8 different failed heat waves that were forecast to be significant threats for big numbers ... that ultimately resulted in 89.7's ... But for the time being, 91 down here with 60 dps is hot.

Odd... NWS sites all seem to be holding the temp down farther than it really is? I realize these home sites tied into various Internet source/networks are not official ...but when everyone is 80 to 82 and BDL and ASH are both stuck at 75, plus, it physically appeals to be in the 80s out side ... that strange. Meanwhile, ORH is 77 ?! ORH is warmer than BDL, on a sunny morning in June under a building heat pattern... okay I do see that everyone is within a flag wobble of dead calm right now... maybe there is a very thin decoupled layer around these ASOS sites, where by advantage of 1,000' altitude, ORH is getting more mixing - so far. How's all this for crushingly nerdy tedium LOL... oh god, please help me find a life
