We (especially East of the Allegheny's) have been very fortunate so far. We are 1/6th of the way through summer and although it has been warm and above average, the oppressive heat being seen just to our West has been little issue here. My take on the LR as of today is that there is little to stop the heat from continuing to pester the US the next week to 10 days but we seem to be in this pattern of the Atlantic blocking saving the North East and not seeing much stopping that yet. Once into the mid 200's, on the GFS and CMC, the ridge is dissipating a bit.
