This is the mistake I made in my summer ideas. I was sure after the first heat wave, another strong one would develope in the 15-20th timeframe and die out around July 1st with July being below normal. Instead, it appears it will redevelope around that same timeframe I thought it would die out.........eh. Glad I do not forecast.

A couple of summers though, post sig. nina events have had a tendency to torch in the first half of July. 1974 and 1989 say high.

I'm just not seeing it... way too wet to get any big heat up into the Great Lakes. We'll be lucky to even hit 90 again this summer.

You guys really think we'll see big heat this summer? I believe this is the wettest year on record for the lower 48. It would be unprecedented. It's even wetter than either '03 and '04, and many areas failed to hit 90 even once in those summers.

Failing yet again.

Wasn't the summer of 2009 dominated by troughs....if memory serves me correct I can recall several cut-off lows that just meandered for days and also "I think" Chicago set a record for coolest day time high ever in July with a 64....The pattern this year seems different though and one met I follow out of STL suggests that the first half of July could be very hot, nothing earth shattering and the back half of the month cooler....I like heat but these temps have been pretty easy to take though, guess the older you get you just take things in stride. Saving some money on the AC bill so not bad.

Was in Denver over the weekend. Went to Pikes Peak on Friday, and above the tree line (say 12,000 feet) there were large patches of old icy snow, some of them almost like large snowbanks, and on top (14,110 feet) it was snow squalling! My first time ever seeing snow in June, although I was so dizzy at the top that i couldnt enjoy it lol. Temp went from mid-70s at 5,000 feet to mid-30s at 14,000 feet. Also, flew home in thunderstorms Sun night, that is NOT fun!

Suprisingly hot and humid out there, given how wet it's been across the midwest. Toledo was 89/70 and Metcalf Field 89/72. Cleveland was 83/74. All of these numbers are about an hour old, so it might be even a few degrees higher now.

Yeah and don't you know when it is hot that Toledo will be the hottest place in the region according to someone's thermometer :arrowhead:

Well, I should specify that most of the midwest will struggle to get into the 90s. Obviously, the favored areas around western Lake Erie with the slight downslope and sandy soil that is conducive to rapid drying/heating will reach 90. Metcalf Field is up to 92 today, with a heat index of 101. Meanwhile, it's only in the mid 80s in my current location -- hours south of there.

Sweaty panty lovers are going to be rejoicing when they see the end of the euro.

From DT

*** ALERT FOR MIDWEST/ PLAINS JUNE 30- JULY 5-- SEVERE HEAT LIKELY

if you are traveling during the Long Holiday weekend into the Ohio valley/ Midwest or the Deep South and into ANY portions of the Plains & Rockies ... Models show MAJOR/SEVERE heat wave building. Temps could reach U 90s even into MT ND and much of MN.... and 96 to 105 degrees may be common over SD NEB IA KS MO ILL and eastern COL .

DT is a Hack.. How can anyone in the weather world say something is LIKELY 10 days out.huh.gif

Thing is the euro weeklies show nothing of the kind either. nearly certain he would be the first to jump on someone for doing exactly what he is with a single model run. lol Weeklies show temps below normal for the region. Ofcourse both have been known to be wrong soooo...meh
