CIK62 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 CFS shows little heat around here from July 24 to August 18 or so. Heatwave for third week of August is indicated, then closes out the month below normal again. Next 45 days actually shown as averaging BN. Meanwhile we are finishing out our 26th. month AN, out of the last 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way did you have a chance to look at the data for KIFP (Bullhead City, Arizona) for the night between July 15-16? There was a huge heatburst there and they hit 136 degrees! Was this confirmed? Here is the data on wunderground. https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KIFP/2017/07/15/DailyHistory.html?req_city=Bullhead City&req_state=AZ&reqdb.zip=86439&reqdb.magic=4&reqdb.wmo=99999 Temperature Mean Temperature 114 °F - Max Temperature 136 °F 106 °F 136 °F (2017) Min Temperature 91 °F 85 °F 72 °F (1993) https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KIFP/2017/07/16/DailyHistory.html?req_city=Bullhead City&req_state=AZ&reqdb.zip=86439&reqdb.magic=4&reqdb.wmo=99999 Temperature Mean Temperature 112 °F - Max Temperature 131 °F 106 °F 131 °F (2017) Min Temperature 93 °F 85 °F 74 °F (1993) From the data it looks like the heat burst started at 7:55 PM and from there until 1:15 AM it was over 130 degrees! What a massive and long lasting heat burst! By looking at past heat bursts that have occurred in different regions, they always seem to occur late at night- any idea why that might be?

We used to average around 40-42 inches of rain a year when I was a kid, and now it's like 50 inches plus lol. It makes me wonder if it will actually become easier to hit 100; with humidity so high the sun will have to work harder to hit those historic high temps, but the night time lows will certainly be warmer and that will more than make up the difference in the monthly averages. We could end up with a subtropical rain forest climate with lots of low 90s and dew points of 70-75 being the norm with lows in the upper 70s.

Also, maybe that's a factor in warmer overnight lows, which seem to be pushing positive departures more than the daytime highs. Consistently very warm as opposed to short bursts of extreme heat. I like short bursts of extreme heat with low humidity, which hasn't happened this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems we had lower departures in the past with much greater max temps. So far it's hit 95 here three times (barely) but not gone over here. It hit 95 once in June and twice so far in July.

Cfa Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Interesting to see that the Long Island Mesonet sites are the only sites with soil temps in the 80's even down to 20". Virtually every other site in the state are about 70-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually every other site in the state are about 70-ish. Probably b/c of the relatively cool nights north of NYC and upstate. Also the soil type on LI. I wish NYC mesonets had soi ml temp somewhere. NY botanical garden's wunderground does, its was 77 this morning. NYC soil temp outside of the large parks might be really high with the warmer nights. Like in a typically small backyard surrounding by rows of bldgs. I used to check NYBG soil temp for potential of snow sticking in marginal events.

Will - Rutgers Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Something I was thinking about: what makes for isolated severe cells in a mT airmass? I understand synoptic scale events fairly basically. What I don't get is when some drifting cell going nowhere fast is dumping 2 inches an hour with nothing around it. We've seen this a lot recently. Just a blanket of warm, moist air with little forcing, where some storm pops up and goes SVR. Is it some gap in the cap somehow that allows this?
