Why can't we get real heat like this? Always above normal but never record breaking here and then the 60-70F during the Christmas Holiday period.

GFS came to it's senses and cancelled fall in July

When you are already in an extreme drought going into your normal "dry season" (where "dry season" in the PNW generally goes from June - September), then any heat bubbles sitting over that area become nuclear mushroom clouds.

This year has been a bit drier here than the past couple years but I don't think they're dry enough for us to hit triple digits this summer unless the faucet gets completely closed off (meaning no more severe :P) and all the TS remnants miss us.  When you have that PAC ridge like that in winter that protects them from snow, inevitably we get the "trough in the east" mixed bag, depending on other factors.

As an obs, my low was a surprisingly "low" 73 but the big difference was the lack of lingering morning stratus, except for a a few low clouds.  So the sun has pretty much been full out earlier than the past couple days, helping to send the temp here to a current 85 with a nasty dp of 75, and some scattered cumulus here and there. :yikes:

I know there was some earlier speculation in the AFDs but Mt. Holly decided to loft the Excessive Heat Warning for the metro area in conjunction with the Advisory around the outer parts of the metro. Probably due to that dp not really mixing out.

And then abracadabra, up pops another east coastal TS! Danny was suddenly born with an outsized role - to go over the coastal goal line as a TS. :lol:

Currently a hazy, hot, and humid 90 with dp bopping between 74 and 75.

Had my low of 74 just before sunrise and am off to the races and currently at 77 with dp 74.  This morning there wasn't even an opportunity for stratus to form, so it went right to unimpeded sun at sunrise.

Got steam? 81 here, dp 73. Not a cloud in the sky at the moment.
