CAPE Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 48 here this morning. Another near perfect weather day coming up, before a quick transition to a very warm and humid air mass for the mid to late week period. Looks like the front will stall rather than clear the area, so there should also be some chances for showers and storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a few warm days Eps mean has a 3 day stretch Sunday through Tuesday in the 70s here . Would be real nice imo. Maybe the general h5 look we have seen with the mean ridge to our west can hold into summer. Would definitely reduce the episodes of prolonged extreme heat if nothing else.

wxdude64 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Outstanding past 24 hours. For those screaming for 'normal', last two days and today is for you. A slightly chilly start here, 42.5 currently, low was 41.8. NO WHERE near record of 33 in 1984, AKA as the year of no or very later 'maters, as we had back to back very frosty 33 degree lows on 5/31 and 6/1 1984. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakkelWx Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Looking like this summer could be another summer where New England gets spared from the HHH, while NYC south roasts. This month especially. Ridge moves east but it doesn't quite reach New England because of persistent troughing over Newfoundland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were several episodes last spring continuing into early to mid summer where similar dives occurred. By July and August to have any real cooling effects it has to be recording breaking. The SST cold pool is there again up North, and according to bluewave it is displaced further South than last spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frd Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Of note, related to a post a few days back form HM, and also mentioned this AM. by bluewave. The potential blocking pattern down the road. i.e. heat may be displaced further South, and also thoughts about eventual ridge runners in a NW flow.

JakkelWx Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 sustained -PNA with -NAO.. Big trough in the west is forcing a strong ridge in the central and eastern US. -NAO in summer actually means heat, instead of cold like it does in the winter. Any cold shots are going to be brief before HHH returns. Seven day SST change in the North Atlantic is showing minor warming of the waters, just off the east coast, due to the previous warm up last week. Another, stronger warm-up starting today will likely cause a return of warmer than normal anomalies replacing the cold blob. Most of the coldest anomalies are farther north in Newfoundland and south of Greenland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any cold shots are going to be brief before HHH returns. Agreed, but last year, due in part due to the cold pool and other factors there were a couple very deep NAO episodes that brought a refreshing air mass that lasted about 24 to 36 hours, even though it was summer. I believe the one in August was very robust and broke a record for - SD . But yes, run of the mill - NAO in summer is a warmth signal. The flip is on as you mention. The cold pool although initially more Southern displaced may be breaking up and warming. An ominous sign for the hurricane season and long lasting heat and humidity possibly. Some buoys off the Mid Atlantic Coast have risen nicely the last 8 days. Look for more in the next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Also a marginal risk for excessive rain for day 3 across our region. Stalled front, high PWATs. and flow aloft parallel to the front. Could be some training storms. This could all very well fall apart, and there is still disagreement among guidance as to where exactly the front ends up stalling, but there is the potential for 1-3 inches of rain "some place" within our region. My confidence level? Sprinkler is currently on. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Was hoping Yellowstone would erupt before our first 90 to give us a summer without heat. It would have been so 2020 and there is still a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 After the beautiful and perfect past 3/4 days, only way to properly describe this morning is Y U C K. Already 68.3/62.8 at 7 am. BLAH, Roanoke was 77 at 7 am!!! NUTS. Supposed to be 88 here today. I want a rewind to Saturday please. But on a serious note, it was a wonderfully cool May, so one month of the HHH was tossed.

BlizzardNole Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Even though it's just 73 out right now, you can just tell it's gonna be a hot one. Hoping for thunderstorms tomorrow. Speaking of "HHH" -- I noticed last summer that the hazy "H" was missing on a lot of hot days. Air seemed clearer. I remember those HHH days back in the 80s when the sky and air had that milky appearance. Yuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s been a notable decline of code purple or code red pollution days in the area over the last 20 years. Add in the COVID quarantine, and this year has had the best air quality in decades. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only in my late 20s and even I've noticed a huge difference in summer air clarity the past 5-ish years compared to growing up in the late 90s/00s. Code red and orange days were pretty regular and would often last for days in a row. That combined with mild asthma really made me hate summer sports. I can't remember a stretch like those recently though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I think BWI was the first of the three local airports to hit 90 this year. Does anyone know if BWI's sensor is still running warmer than usual? Didn't they pave an area near the sensor a couple of years back? I may have to change my BWI guess in the contest.

Yes, bwi has been running warm relative to other stations since last year. Departures relative to normal have been pretty consistently higher than DCA and iad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
