The height and expanse of the Western Atlantic Ridge / Bermuda high was less than forecast from the medium range. The 850 MB >20c stayed just south or we dealt with clouds/storms. the 594 line is just south of the area. We do get a blast of the stronger heat >20c 850 mb temps overnight into tomorrow but the front and storm clouds may blunt the highest readings potential. Still think we get some upper 90s in the hot spots today (97/98).

warm / wet too.

TTN/Park the cool spots typical of park more typical of TTN since 2018 or so.

A agree in this case it was a cooler 1/3, warm 1/3 and we'll see if August (1/3) end up on the plus side by way of warmer period once past the first week. Think we'll tunr more humid similar to end of June/early July towards the second week with that comes some hot days and storms.

That was early AUgust. We'll see id go warm / humid and much warmer than the first 7 - 8 days.

The hurricane was considered the worst in fifty years. Few houses were left standing either at Bay Saint Louis or at Pass Christian, and much of the Mississippi coast was desolate following the storm. A U.S. cutter was lost along with its thirty-nine crew members. The storm struck the same area that was hit 150 years later by Hurricane Camille. (David Ludlum) 1898: A severe thunderstorm produced considerable hail (some stones to 11 ounces) in Chicago, Illinois business district. Some people were hurt, not by hail, but by several hundred runaway horses spooked by the hailstones. 1930 - The temperature at Greensburg, KY, soared to 114 degrees to set a state record. (The Weather Channel) 1934 - The temperature at Grofino, ID, climbed to 118 degrees to establish a record for Idaho. (The Weather Channel) 1952 - A severe storm with hail up to an inch and a half in diameter broke windows, ruined roofs, and stripped trees of leaves near Benson, AZ. The temperature dropped to 37 degrees, as hail was three to four inches deep, with drifts 46 inches high. (The Weather Channel) 1986 - Severe thunderstorms moving out of South Dakota across Iowa produce high winds which derailed eighteen piggyback trailer cars of a westbound freight train near Boone, IA. Sixteen of the cars fell 187 feet into the Des Moines River. The thunderstorms also spawned a number of tornadoes, including one which caused twenty-five to fifty million dollars damage at Sloan, near Sioux City, IA. (Storm Data) 1987 - Thunderstorms in Nevada produced wind gusts to 70 mph at Searchlight, reducing visibilities to near zero in blowing dust and sand. Thunderstorms in Montana drenched Lonesome Lake with 3.78 inches of rain. (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Thunderstorms drenched Wilmington, NC, with 3.33 inches of rain, bringing their monthly total 14.46 inches.

85 / 71 sunny and warm. Hot and humid next 40 hours. Western Atlantic Ridge to its peak west expansion and with a SW flow pulling-in strong heat from the western ridge. Mid - upper 90s as 850 mb temps near / >18c. 20C 850 MB tomorrow ahead of front so depending on clouds some of the pre frontal heat can overperform. W. Atl. Ridge contracts and trough into the northeast pushes strong front through with potential strong storms later Sat (7/29)). Sun (7/30) clearing and back to / below normal. Mon (7/31) continues near/below with next shot at storms. Next month to open near / below normal and then a bit back and forth bias normal or cooler through the first week. The Ridge is entrenched out west with trough into the NE, the Western Atlantic Ridge is building west by the second week of next month and trough migrating into the GL with a more humid/warm S/SW flow with more storms chances. Moving to an overall warmer and humid / stormier.

Debris clouds from PA overnight storms which were widespread at a point

Looks quite nice Sunday - Tue , a few below normal before steaming/warming back up by Wed (8/3). A bit back and forth from there.

84/ 75. Partly sunny and very warm. Clouds from PA storms around and we'll see how cloudy it gets. Hot one on tap, mid / upper 90s, pending on clouds and any showers/storms some of the hot spots could touch near 100 but think we'll be a bit below ,97/98. Some scattered storms later mainly north along the periphery of the flexing W. Atl Ridge and hook to flow the western strong heat into the area. Fri (7/28) continued hot as peak of heat is ushered in 850 MB temperatures > 18cwith scattered or isolated storms in the pm. More mid - upper 90s and near records heat. Sat (7/30) continue very hot 850 MB temperatures get to 20c with mid / upper 90s. Caveat for 100 degree readings will be timing of the front as the W. Atl Ridge contracts, clouds from storms to the west and north could get in the way of exceeding upper 90s. The front does come through by the overnight into Sunday with storms. Sunday (7/30) dries out and is down near normal into the 80s. Kind of a back and forth near normal / dry 7/30 - 8/2 before steaming and warming back up Thu (8/3) - Sat (8/5) before next front. The western Atlantic Ridge expanding west with western ridge sustained forces a more humid and increases storm chances southerly flow with trough backing into the GL. Looks to go overall warm and storms chances by the second week of next month.

We'll see if debris clouds are around in the AM from the PA storms which should fizzle overnight.

Euro has scattered storms mainly north / west for Saturday I'm sure it'll change 100 times with timing of the front.

78 / 64 and sunny. Clouds and storms in the way tue from starting the 90s streak for most, today looks good for many to top 90. The Western Atlantic Ridge builds west raising heights and linking with the western heat ridge to push strong heat streaking east, peaking >18c to near 20c Sat (7/29). Mid to upper 90s and its a matter of clouds and any storms preventing a stray 100 degree reading in the hot spots. Near or record eat for places like EWR, PHL, LGA. Another piece of energy passes to the north Thu evening so isolted showers and storms the more south you go. The W/ Atl Ridge is contracting by Sat evening and trough pushing down into the area by Sun (7/30) Storms from the north and west by later in the day could cloud things up and pop storms into the overnight. By Sunday (7/30) it's clearing and we open August near normal and much cooler than the strong heat. By Aug 3-5 another piece of the strong heat is nearby and more humid flow returns with overall warm, humid and likely some enhanced storm chances. As the western ridge builds it'll be reliant to watch the next expansion of the western atlantic ridge to force the trough back NE into the GL and keep it humid nd warm to hot occasionally. Way out there ridge could push into the east in later part of August from the west.
