You're not getting multiple 104-105s again. Gfs much more muted vs euro

Up to 1.90" and it's coming down in buckets. Looking at radar it's almost over.

Probably mid 90s.

We could touch 100F in warmest scenario. I think all this rain will help hold temps down next week. Peak heat will be over plains

Either way we're probably going to see a top 3-5 hottest July on record

Yep with 2 big heatwaves it's a good chance unless the last 10 days is cool or something.

The storm clouds that are to my south/se are impressive.  The cold breeze feels amazing right now.

This will be a very rare pancake heat dome  Notice how compressed the forecast record 600 dm heights for the MSP area will be. So the 850 mb plume will be fairly narrow.

If it ejects perfectly coinciding with the daily highs next week around 4pm then my guess is the warm spots could reach 100° to 103°. If the warmest 850 mb temperatures occur at night then the daytime max could only be 96° to 100° for the warm spots.

This is probably why each model is flipping from run to run since the timing of the peak 850 mb temperatures keeps changing. 

Fairly narrow 850 mb plume

A sound I don't want to hear again for a while after a 66 hour stretch recently.

Consistent moderate rain with rumbles of thunder at jones beach. Have to be near an inch here

Keep saying we're going to look into a generac

Getting dark by me.  Storms finally approaching.

They don't get a workout too often but nice to have one when you need one.

No more flashlights or candles.  No more freezing or roasting in the dark.  You pretty much go on with normal life when the power is out.

We did not have one for Sandy so that was the worst.  If we had not had one now this would have run a close second with no a/c in a heatwave for 3 days.

Yeah, went out, and within 3 minutes the internet was back on and unfortunately back working haha.  After losing power a few times over the years and getting water in the basement because of that, we went for it.  My area does seem to lose power at least 10x a year it seems.

An inch? 3 stations in that area are all just under a 1/4”
