Yeah it already backed off significantly next run however ensembles definitely suggest another major bout of heat late 1st week of August.
Dry run makes it more likely we see more 100+ readings
This weather has been incredibly boring. At least GFS drops the 100s making things more interesting.
The dry weather has been planting seeds for such a hot spell too
There's a good chance we'll see 100+ readings this month. The dry weather and soils will be a huge help to push temperatures over the edge.
Ensembles aren't are ridge happy as OP runs yet though
The extended dry spells are worrisome because they usually end in a massive deluge.
And if forecasts are correct for late July through September then things will get a lot more tropical soon.
I am skeptical about this look though
The Euro missed the blocking, the western Atlantic is much cooler than last year. There's likely going to be a feedback loop with the intensifying drought out west.
The Euro is just applying Nina climo.
