Made it down to 69, Now up to 80 / 57 and gorgeous summer and beach weather. The warmer / drier spots have a shot at 90 today and tomorrow, otherwise sunny and just spectacular these next two days to close the month. Monday still looks to be the next chance for rain / storms as warm front begins moving through and setting the stage for the next roasting.
By Tue (8/2) the Western Atlantic ridge is building way west and eventulally joins the Rockies/Plains Ridge by the middle of the Week Wed (8/3) and Thu (8/4) with a blast of strong heat coming in by next Fri (8/5) and through next weekend as it looks now, with the euro bringning in >20c 850 temps at times. The ridge contracts and resurges into the week of Mon (8/8) with overall a hot pattern to at times strong heat. Still some details to be worked out that could foster storms around the rim of the ridge and Ridge could build over and force onshore or NE flow at times to keep it just warm to hot on days. But overall dog days of summer and some of the hottest Aug temps sustained since 2015 or more.
