The last 2 days have been miserable in Wildwood and now back home.

 

Power just flickered here at my house 

We never got the big storms here, and for two days I skipped fishing trips waiting for the bad weather, which never came. Unfortunately we have an easterly flow now, not good for boating and fishing, at least in the ocean. Meh, fishing has sucked anyway, but we were hoping for some porgies to show up. They haven't. Can feel the humidity starting to build up again.

Not looking forward to that, but I will be in Va beach ( family likes the place; not me ) where I'm sure it will be hotter.

Record breaking 500 mb ridge and jet streak near Alaska pumping the WAR.

The 500 mb height of 5980 m at Cold Bay, Alaska, is a station record and one of the highest values ever recorded in Alaska

It would be really nice to get some record breaking heights over British Columbia in, say, mid-January. :rolleyes: 

The Pac jet slowing down would be a welcome change as well.

I’m with you, it certainly would be nice. Sadly I can also see myself wish-casting the warning area north of the Delmarva. As always ....

40 degree rainstorms. We will probably wind up having one of the most active winters in years and it will be more wet then white. :facepalm:

Yep. We would need stout blocking in place to overcome that firehose. With the lack of any prolonged -NAO regime in recent winters, I'm not holding my breath. Edit... This is purely fantasy talk of course. Winter is still 4 months away!!!

stout blocking with a firehose is how we got 60" in a month in 2010/11

Looking ahead Warm to hot and wet should continue the theme with only storms and clouds hindering heat Sun (8/18) - Fri (8/23) before a brief cooldown next weekend (8/24-25)

Models then rebuild heights and heat on/around  8/27 into Labor Day weekend.

Next 8 days holding at an average of 79degs., or 5degs. AN.

Month to date is  +0.1[76.0].      Should be +1.7[77.0] by the 25th.

Check out both control members near the 28th-29th period, while GFS merrily has  80's+ forecast anyway:

btw:   If you want to know what the latest Euro Weeklies are showing, light a candle and sit on it----you will get the idea.

The first few weeks of August are another example of less warm is the new cool. All our major stations are in the 0 to +1 range before the heat and humidity returns this week. This is why it’s so tough to see a below normal temperature departure anymore during the warm season.

EWR...+0.3

NYC....+0.1

LGA....+1.1

JFK.....+0.4

ISP.....+0.9

BDR...+0.9

HPN....+0.9

The high dewpoints are back. Looks like the 20th day this year at JFK with a 75 degree or higher dewpoint. This is the now the  3rd highest number of days on record. Just an amazing record breaking high dewpoint surge since 2016.

Kennedy Intl   PTSUNNY   79  75  87 NE6       30.03S

Can probably add Sun-Wed to that, possibly Thu if the front slows at all.
