The 540 line and even the 534 line make an appearance in Canada and not even all that far north. When will the Winter Storm Warnings be issued?!

Not sure it matters in the big picture but think it is an August snow storm for the Eastern Side of Canada. Did not notice when the northwest got their snow. Dog days of august!

sauss06 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Mowing my grass yesterday i really noticed the haze and smell of smoke. PSA- my phone told me the air quality is unhealthy for sensitive groups. I'm told i have no feelings and not sensitive, so i'm good 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got some surprise thunderstorms towards dusk last night that I couldn’t even see coming because of the haze. Walking the dog last night: Wife: “is that thunder?” Me: “no, it’s not supposed to storm tonight. Probably an airplane.” *distant thunder rolls again* wife: “I’m telling you, that’s thunder” me: “no, it must just be people rolling their garbage cans out to the curb” *I check radar when we get inside* “Yep, that was thunder.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 So the model rundown seems to be: CMC: has jumped on the heat train next week GFS: has jumped off the heat train next week EC: still on the heat train next week *but nothing particularly excessive or lasting on any model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s that usual phenomenon of the GFS making big jumps while the EC makes baby steps. So I guess a drop of 6-8 degrees on the Euro is actually pretty significant.

Mount Joy Snowman Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I always find it interesting when the national high and low temp for the Lower 48 occur within a relatively short distance of one another, as happened yesterday with the high of 119 at Death Valley, CA and the low of 35 at Bodie State Park, CA being separated by only ~160 miles or so. While this doesn't happen all too often, I have witnessed it from time to time and it always seems to be these two locations. The two sites couldn't be more different and extreme in terms of topography haha, with one being well below sea level and the other being a high-elevation valley above 8,000', but still quite the feat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Looks like a decent chance of some storm activity this afternoon before a cooler drier air mass ushers in and clears things out, including hopefully smoke ha, and then high pressure takes control for a couple days. Should be a nice end to the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take the rest of this week and go from there. But with the little peeking I did do, that was a stout ridge in the central basin, and if rolled over a bit...we'd be on the edge of the heat blanket. I can remember a few/some years back when we had a similar deal where big heat cooked the midwest, and while it got close, we stayed on the fringe of the w/nw flow and it saved the MA and NE from cookin. I'm sure one of you stat guys can find which summer it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I dislike the heat (in case some aren't aware ), I'm old enough to know there are far more worrisome things to complain about. I just roll with it and like many here, bide my time till the first autumn cold front pushes through. I sold the cave a couple years back....and bought a Harley....hehe Its all good.

Yeah I'm with ya, I don't pay much mind to the LR during the summer months, just way too much variability day-to-day on the convection elements. Once we start to roll into late Fall and Winter I'll pay more attention to fantasy land to try and get rough ideas of pattern and placement for storm chances, and also because, well, who doesn't love a good LR clown map ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
