Next week looks mighty toasty around here. 
 

Will we string together some upper 90s/low 100s or will the ridge end up further southeast like this past “heat wave” 

A couple of the op Euro runs flexed 100-105 degree heat in here later next week, but have since backed off.  Will likely end up with our usual 92-95 type of heat with high dews.

Looks like a snooze fest through late July.  Glad we had our good rains in the first week of the month.

feast or famine has been the way of the land for what feels like years now but yeah, glad we soaked it up while the getting was good

Maybe the lower dewpoint heat next week will actually bring some high temperatures that don’t underperform for a change.

I know you like the lake effect rain the 12Z Op GFS has for you today at 240 hours.

euro moved to the GFS p big around this time frame, shifting axis west and death ridging CA

looks like a potentially extended period of seasonably comfortable temps for most of us

Looks like possible hot wx starting this weekend. Winds are forecast to be SW, and if so, then it will get rather warm, even here imby. Shoreline will stay a little cooler unless the wind is WSW. SW winds along the shoreline clip the Lake, but a slight W direction keeps it a fully land breeze. Down sloping may jump temps even higher than forecast.
