It'll finally feel more like fall next few days and then they'll be more ups and downs. However nothing will come close to the heat we've experienced. Hints at more -NAO blocking mid month could signal much stormier weather. Currently 56F down from 94F yesterday.

Temps by this time tomorrow should be in the 50s with light rain or showers. Very mid April to early June BDCF type of change.

And there are still people that deny climate change. Unreal.

90F now with 95 HI, insane for October.

Already upper 80s well before noon, full sunshine.

Already widespread upper 70s as of 9:20am, dews in the upper 60s too...very July like. Very warm readings on the short term models makes me think we exceed highs by a few degrees today pending any cloud debris. I think 93-95F will be common. We'll also get a boost from the recent dry conditions.

Euro showed something similar and October starts noreaster season so it's definitely possible. Looks like a neggie NAO influence as well.

Agree, widespread low 90s, maybe even mid 90s?

The longer you roast the more dangerous these bug/mosquito migrations will get. There are consequences to this kind of atypical weather. It's not supposed to be south Florida at 42N in October.

Nice dramatic BDCF shown on the models. NAM is really strong with it going from upper 80s/low 90s on Wed to low-mid 50s by Thursday afternoon.

Joe B. continues to be a complete joke. I remember him going on and on how there would be a big global cooling event for the 2010s and 20s. Every year he forecasts a big east coast winter and Northeast hurricanes. Occasionally he ends up right but so does a dead clock.

And the Earth is flat too.

That statement is idiotic. And literally every scientist on the planet agrees that we are the cause but do enlighten us. And Don please don't even waste your time.

Wrong again or should we remove the past couple days from the data set too.

Southern spots possibly though models have been trending weaker with any heat potential. Only see low 80s in my forecast.

And today was the last of the 90s until next year.

Wrong again

Wave? More like Bob redux. I see early signs of a big trough in the Midwest and NE Canada ridging.

2012 was essentially an anomalous year due to the great Arctic cyclone. This year maintained the status quo but it'll be more interesting to see what happens next year. The last few years had horrible ice recoveries vs the early 2010s and this year should be no different. A very poor recovery could lead to a new record next year.

The good news is that the ice hasn't been able to beat the last record low from 7 years ago. Which could mean an ice free summer Arctic probably won't happen until the end of the 21st century.

I stopped giving a rats ass about those people, they're as repugnant as anti-vaxxers or flat-earthers though having said trolls lead gov't is quite terrifying. Still even the most scientifically scholared gov'ts don't mind turning their back on what they know to be true. So at this point it's a big waiting game. Will we innovate ourselves out of GW or will GW shut us down permanently.

I didn't think the blocking would go away. This pattern's stuck for the long haul with some shifting every now & then.

I don't know, it seems the closer we get the more blocking starts to show up. The current warming, ice melt could even help enhance blocking.

These climate agenda arguments are so baffling to me, there's literally hard data from numerous sources/satellites that goes back decades to hundreds of years. But I guess in an age where anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers exist we shouldn't be too surprised. Regardless, the climate will do what science intended whether you choose to remain ignorant or not. I kid you not there were tweets where people tried to dispute climate change by stating it snowed in Alberta last June. But mention record heat in Alaska/Europe happening now and you won't hear a peep.

And you lost. Upcoming pattern looks brutal for Arctic, and if this pattern lasts through the summer like I think it will, then 2012 could go down the tubes.
