Definitely lean toward hitting 90 but those 98-100 temps on the Canadian seem as extreme as the mid to upper 80's on the Nam...maybe something in between.
That seems like an unlikely long shot. But I certainly would not bet any money on it definitely hitting 90 with so many prog's not showing it yet. The Nam has that cold bias but others do not.
Concerning the weekend, with the caveat that we have the HIA issue, none of the American models forecast 90's even on the 3 hour plots. Foreigners do....
RGEM pushes MDT toward 100 on Saturday. Nam says 87. LOL
Both the NAM and GFS are suggesting more backdoor influence for Friday... keeping temp near 80.
The GFS was the only one that had it and it is randomly showing tropical systems at different times but generally pushing back the dates. Right now Memorial weekend is dry with a very comfortable Saturday but muggier and quite warm Sun and Mon.
Wow, GFS with a Gorilla in the Gulf borderline Major Hurricane Memorial Saturday. Hey @paweather, your line is not too far away on this depiction? Moisture? 540 line?
