Looking ahead
8/3 - 8/9 : will continue the near normal / bit warmer regime we've been in, teetering on 90 (upper 80s) and with enough sun, some spots push 90.
8/9 - 8/16 : Trough / wet and likely at or below normal. I still think the stronger heat will be delayed not denied following the progression after the EU heat just a bit delayed. we'll track the cooldown and see how cool we get. Already it is looking more next weekend than Thu as models had been initially honing in on. Perhaps it adjusts over time.
