too early to be spiking the ball on a hot summer.  JB says cooler once past the 25th due to the SOI crash

 

 

Latest JMA weeklies have the warmest period up front: Days 3-9, trending to near normal for week 2, then the trough is back in the Northeast for weeks 3-4 which would be June 25th-July 9th. At this point I tend to agree with it. The global pattern doesn't support the longer-term maintenance of a mean ridge in the Eastern US.

That was a BS reading at JFK which threw the map off. Just about everyone reported well over a foot with that storm. Long Beach had 16".

Other then Boxing Day that was the best snow storm I saw in 7 years living in lb. legit 4" hours rates. Prior to that a slet thunderstorm. And some serious winds. 16" for sure JFK sucks
