Spring/Summer 2026 Pattern Discussion Thread

It's still got a snow tag. Might as well add winter, lol! Perhaps that's just to make us feel less hot right now.

After the severe today they have flash flood risk for Wednesday. Can't argue with a front stalling. What else do they do in July? Got a tropical system far enough away to be no threat, but it still helps pump in moisture. Ambient moisture is enough anyway. These dewpoints are ludicrous even for July!

Or winter is just gonna be that warm!  LOL.  But yeah, i need some seriously lower humidity, Jeff.  I am soaked every morning after my run.  Just looks like someone took a 5 gallon bucket, and poured over my head.  Same deal after mowing. 

Tags are now spring and summer - you all have high standards for thread tags!   If it was Montana, I might leave snow.  They started the month out w/ winter storm warnings in SW Montana!  Fortunately, the west is getting some much needed monsoonal rains in a few areas.  I saw that Mammoth had rain this past week.  Not unheard of, but it was plentiful.  Portions of MT had flood warnings last week which is kind of nuts out there during the summer. 

Storms kind of fizzled out in NE TN this evening - so far.  I don't mind that.  Storms IMBY seem to find a way to get pretty bad on NW flow t-storms during July.....just not NW flow snow during January. 

But yo....send me some crisp air masses.  Central Florida can keep this humidity.  It's theirs, and they can have it back!
