Well so much for a cooler summer than the last 3.

There is no comparison to the last 3 summers. No where near as hot. Most areas have only had one heatwave and hardly that. There's still a lot of the summer season left. While the first half of July will be above , the 2nd half doesn't really look all that hot, in fact another very wet pattern is likely again.

Other than June 2010,  this June was warmer at many locations than '11 and '12. I do agree with the drought now foused to the southwest we wont see extreme heat like those years.  Its also very wet like 2009, 2003 and 2006 and of those trio, 2006/2003 are taking the lead in analogs with 2008 also in the mix with a dominant WAR.  Such patterns with strong western atlantic ridges favor growing warmth especliaaly through the end of july and august.  I still think we are in the warmest part of the summer overall against the means but suspect aug ma feature the greatest positive departure.  As far as July looking ahead it should be above to well above normal through the 11th before we see more active fronts/storms between the 11 and 13th. But by the middle of the month the latest guidance is hinting that the WAR builds back west.   By the 11th we will have racked up departures of 4 - 8 above normal.   With th wetness and the core of the heat staying west do agree the blowtorch heat (100's) will be limited for now.

Nextreme.....Lol you do not know what the 2nd half of july might bring. There will multiple posters just two weeks ago saying there were no 90 degree plus temps from late june to mid july...and that willend up being a fail. I think this june was warmer or equal to last years for most. Sure we dont have 100 degree temps but so what

Sacrus you have been money in analyzing and breaking down this pattern rather than just post doom and gloom model qpfs like some others. Keep up the outstanding work

 

 

I think all of the discussions and analysis has been very good and interesting.  From the cool may, heavy june rains and growing warmth to me its very enjoyable discussions.  I know like you, i enjoy heat in the summer but I also enjoy and learn from the discussions.  What happens thee rest of july is as muh a guess as anything but we should see some strong warmth and positive departures through the first 10 days or so.   Enjoy the heat.

That's a very ominous pattern with regards to tropical activity if it continues. A strong WAR with higher heights extending to eastern Canada could put the SE USA as well as the entire east coast in huge danger, I have a feeling the streak of major hurricane landfalls will end this season.

That has been the story of the last few years with Irene in 2011 and Sandy last year. The strong WAR was also in place

when Andrea dumped the heavy rains across the region in early June. So things really become interesting if this

pattern remains in place for the height of the hurricane season.

Yes or maybe even earlier, with the MJO being favorable for the Atlantic and the waves off of Africa becoming more potent, I know some forecasters show mid July starting to be quite active.

Right now it looks like the favorable MJO phase should work in concert with the trough to produce a big rainstorm in the SE.
