OHSnow Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Looking at the long-range, enjoy the next several days, because it looks like the ridge is going to be building back in. GFS Ensembles strongly hinting at lower than normal heights in the west and higher than normal heights for much of the other country, and it seems to lock it in for a while. So this would definitely support a return to warmer than normal temps for the eastern 2/3rds of the country, as reflected in CPC's 6 to 10 and 8 to 14 day outlooks. I wouldn't be overly concerned about what the operational run says temp wise, because the height fields would certainly support a heat wave in the central and eastern CONUS sometime during that period.

SpartyOn Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 In all seriousness I will agree this early upcoming week looks great. Not really minding the low humidity and pleasant temps. As a heat and swamp air lover it's sometimes nice to have some natural AC to gear u for next torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 LMAO @ Independence Iowa observations over the last few days. Apparently they hit 158 degrees yesterday, with a dewpoint of 135. The next hour they were down to 16 degrees. It's currently 104 there. http://www.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KIIB.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 This is the third straight day with temps struggling to get out of the mid 60s after reaching the low to mid 90s for a few days before. Something in the middle would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming off of 3 days in a row of record +20's its been a fun run of extremes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it was real summer heat which you say they do not experience. You live in a different part of the county, so no **** the type of heat will be different in your area. Each city has their own standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Ice puss1ies is the new DAB. Funny the first couple of times...played out after that. But I digress... Still muggy here, but looks like 79º for the high today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was saying was that if he lived in St. Louis (or a city with a similar or hotter climate), he might be singing a totally different tune.

Harry Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Ice puss1ies is the new DAB. Funny the first couple of times...played out after that. But I digress... Still muggy here, but looks like 79º for the high today. +1 And the heat can suck it as far as i am concerned. This week looks awesome imo. Had enough heat and humidity at the Mid Atlantic coast to last several lifetimes. BTW.. Models are probably struggling because of the very weak MJO signal for one. Most of them as well have it hanging around the circle of death and perhaps popping out in phase 1 or 2 and then making a move late in the week. Phase 1 typically brings close to normal temps while phase 2 and especially 3 bring below to much below normal temps. Models as well no longer have a -PNA showing and have it near neutral while the AO/NAO are negative. EPO is as well forecast to tank as well. All in all mostly cool and or below normal temps are looking to be most probable for a little while atleast per those indices. We'll see anyways. All knows how this goes and thus how quick things can change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After living in Salt Lake for a year with the 95-100 degree summer days every single day, you get used to it. Mixing to 500 hpa and having dewpoints in the 20s and 40s if it is "humid" makes a huge difference. It is very bearable. The disgusting feel of 90 with 65-70+ degree dewpoints really has no comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
