Nah, when has that ever happened? :pepsi:



We'll see what the 00z Euro run shows tonight but the 12z run slightly trended toward the GFS and Canadian which have been consistently showing the more active ring of fire type setup being farther south into IA, IL and IN. It's all about the strength and position of the ridge, which looking at Thursday's 12z Euro vs Friday's, Friday's run showed a bit weaker and farther southwest mid level ridge position.

Now the 12z GFS got a bit stronger with the ridge midweek.  Maybe we will get a happy medium.

Better enjoy this cool weather, as it looks like mid 90s start next Tueday for several days.

Yeah, it looks pretty warm, especially with the 12z GFS shifting north.  However, back in June the Euro consistently had mid to upper 90s here for multiple days and the best we could do was low 90s.

It seems to have a warm bias in warmest areas. It did the same thing this past week.

Likely will be the same for the upcoming period as well.

I've been fine with this summer thus far. I look at it as being "unsettled" and there has been a ton of rain but it hasn't gotten in my way too much. I do have a problem with the lack of sunshine (last 2 days its been very dark overcast).

Last summer was the warmest on record.

This upcoming week doesn't look to bad. Besides tomorrows rain showers, it should be sunny and warm till atleast Wednesday. About time!

Can you believe it hasn't rained in Vancouver in a month!

One thing's for sure, if the heat doesn't build in too strong it still looks humid as hell lol.  Sure hope the GFS is overdoing moisture, as this would be pretty awful lol.

I started sweating just looking at that map. I sure hope that it has a high dew bias as well as a warm one.

EDIT: Regarding the Euro/GEM vs. GFS ridge placement battle, I had to lol at Todd at North Webster in his discussion:

Blended pop guidance remains an unmitigated disaster and will continue with 
significant targeted adjustments Wed-Fri.

By far, the most accurate forecast I've ever seen from a Meteorologist.

At 6am this morning the dewpoint was 53.  Now, it's 72.

Yeah it definitely feels a lot more muggy out there compared to earlier.  Could see some thunderheads on the northwestern horizon at sunset from those developing storms in northeast IA.

For the sky watchers, might have a shot at the northern lights tomorrow night.

Yeah I'm hoping to head out for this.  Gonna bring a full can of Deep Woods Off with me lol.

58 for a high so far today with gorgeous blue skies.  Cool tonight with a low in my point of 40.  MQT's record low tonight is 40, so that could be broken.  Also possible that Spincich Lake, Doe Lake, and Baraga plains could see temps low enough for a light frost.  Happens about once or twice a summer in those locations.

Looks like excellent viewing of the northern lights tonight!

That's crazy, I didn't know that.

It was another terrible day of weather after Saturday's mostly clear weather (except evening). Got some rain and a couple loud booms. Can't stand this.

Possible heat burst overnight on the 16th.

Good catch by whomever caught it. Speaking of the Plains, there was one recently out in Omaha where the temp jumped to around 90 overnight.  Although it is less common in this part of the country, my guess is that overall these things happen more frequently than previously thought.  It's easy to miss... you really have to be looking at obs.
