That looked like a pretty warm euro run to me. A few days near 90°, a few days of a cool down, and then right back to warmth. Almost September by the end of that run. The seasons are fleeting.

Machine data seems different, lots of low clouds like today?

Some crazy close lightning strikes overnight.  Almost sounded like buzzing before the the world came crashing down on two separate occasions.  

Almost a half inch of rain in the stratus this morning though for a nice little drink.

Nice bright echoes passed about 20 miles to our north, just getting enough dz to make the woods wet w/o watering the garden.

It seems an 89-94-91 dodgy heat wave .... okay... but Euro yesterday actually did backed-off, where the day before the runs were blazing...

The Thursday/Friday trough incursion in this run is actually a subtly less amplified version of yesterday's 12z run.  That one had a deeper, early autumnal vibe to it... ( call it ), where this one is one of those 18 hours of low DP 78 F before it rolls out quickly...  That total run-to-run correction shoulda been expected for anyone with a modicum of awareness. The error-trend on-going behavior of the ECMWF over our quadrature of the hemisphere, does that...  Oh you can bet ... this will be a shimmering gallery of day eight artistry come winter, no doubt!

Digression: Folks are interested in weather it gets "hot" vs merely seasonally "warm and muggy" ...?  Which, either is above normal ( btw ) ...it's important to point that silliness out, because despite being "silly" ... folks seem surprised when we get to the end of these months and we're putting up +4.5's, without any heat waves - or heat of noteworthiness...

First and quite obviously so...heat waves are specifically only to afternoon phenomenon...?  11am to 4 or 5 ... 90 + .  That's "for three days" ...That ending turn of phrase really does the phenomenon a misnomer.  What if it's bone dry NW heat variety ... 94/50 ... might even be -1 at night to offset...  However, ...  having every single f'ing night be +10 while afternoons are muted by a toxic pal of theta-e choking low clouds or just sucking up thermal energy into elevated DPs in general...  that is a stealthy sort of way to attack climate averages.  People can get used to and tolerate 84/70 ... and not realize that a +2 afternoon and +13 overnight signifies the end of the g-damn world...  It's just outside their circumstantial awareness.  That's really what this summer's been about... like a head-game. I have clocked just two heat waves in this summer here in Ayer...  ( though to be fair, a few times where 91-88-92 may have occurred...) Mostly, like NWS sites, we've hold up lows from falling and I'm in a valley, too.

Dews are generally only as bad as your air circulation. 75F with calm winds...gag me. 75F with a nice breeze. Sign me up.

Can you please post a dew above chart for NOLA... I work outside in the telecom/cell phone industry and NOLA is where I am headed Sun night.

Sun breaking out now. No rain at all this weekend in most of SNE. All action NW. Just a humid dry weekend . Wash vehicles, do lawns, swim etc in good faith !

Now in NECT and moving north. Guys and gals who just washed their vehicles,  started mowing throwing up in their hands in disgust.
