But yeah, the point stands...likely a hot stretch returning.  Even though those maps are way overdone.

Yes the ensembles are pointing in that direction as well.  One thing to consider that the models haven't been picking up in the extended long range are the "breaks" like today with slightly cooler temps and dew points between the HHH's.  Still don't see a "straight through to October" scenario coming as some may have been hoping.  Every time you see that unfold on the models in the long range it disappears into some moderating frontal passages in the medium-short range.

Remember all of those 110s modeled in the Omaha area? They finally hit 100F the other day. +1.1F on the month. The models have been way overdoing the heat in the extended.

haha...  Heat?  In New England, straight through October -

That's never happened because Earth can't do that here.   Maybe in the late Paleocene-Eocene Epoch that happened...but then again, that long ago... this region had yet to come out of Plate Tectonics.

We can have hot summers that go into warm falls ..sure... but there are always breaks.  

[Typhoon Tip]

heh..yeah.. no argument for Nebraska.  But, it did get up to 110+ in Oklahoma and N TX during the verification window.

That's not hugely far from Nebraska.   interesting -   ...I don't know what the geographical or spatial actually margin for error should or shouldn't be acceptable at D10  lol. 

I don't know...but I'm inclined to give at least a nod.

Do I think BDL is about to clock 7 straight days of 100 topping at 109? no - I'm equally inclined to at least subtly shake the head on that one.

I know, I know... I was being sarcastic there... based on some historical posts in this months thread.  That being said, I do remember some one or two week streaks of the HHH's, even if the temps weren't always maxing.  This summer has been providing us with noticeable breaks, which is nice, at least IMO.

Right ... and what interests me ( and partially annoys, too - ) is that whenever I read the weekly MJO publication/PDFs ..free for viewing here: https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/MJO/mjoupdate.pdf

...they keep adding inferences to the MJO being in constructive or destructive interference with the on-going La Nina.

On going La Nina ?    Yeah, in the water.... I'm not sure the atmosphere is truly coupled to the La Nina "base-state" - in fact, the base state does not appear to be well correlated and hasn't since June 1.  

The flow construct across N/A is supposed to correlated to -PNA.   Yeah, June in England really nailed that, huh -    no. 

CDC also puts out the PNA monitoring and prognostic curves etc... and looking at that, the PNA has dominated the positive mode all summer.  That argues for a non-coupled La Nina atmosphere - i.e., NOT a La Nina atmosphere. 

Sorry...back to here and now:  your post reminds me that we really should not have experienced as much nadir flow from the Lakes to the EC, which is allowed (bold abv) as we have.

Unless does this mean that flights destined to these airports are being delayed from airports being impacted by thunderstorms?

The distance from central NE to central OK is about the same as from Farmington, Maine to TTN, and extending the western line to DTW gets the eastern one between RIC and Fredericksburg.  And the latitude change is about 40% greater in the west - N-S compared to NE-SW.  That's countered by the greater latitudinal gradient on east coastal regions.

[Whineminster]

I was in Nebraska last week, night before the forecast it would change from 100 to like 90 lol.

It feeds back ... yup.

I mean, that ridge projection would be capable of loading 97/76 ... basically, lower Corn Belt hell anyway, but ... the antecedent summer environment this year has put us in a situation of limited returning soil moisture.  It likely has penetrated deep enough ( check hydrologists ) that flora, floor to canopy species, are all stemming ( no pun intended) the amount of moisture making it to evaporation (evapotran -).    For eastern N/A ..there's two sources for DP: land and it's activity; or curvilinear flow loading off the Gulf and/or adjacent SW Atlantic Basin.  

This type of synopsis out there doesn't have those latter sources.   That leaves the land-air interface which oops.. entering that time frame is as such, challenged. 

So... now we have a ridge that has the scaffolding for some really giant numbers, with low DPs ( relative to climo)...    Bingo, the model has no physical hope but to allow the T side to pretty much rise to the full insolation potential. 

I think a warmer than normal period ( above the CC + climate baseline...) is growing in likelihood.   The CPC NAO and PNA are converging fantastically actually... The signals are less useful, at this time of year, more typically.. But, when they are in constructive interference with other trend and climate modes, and ... mm that changes the map a little.  

I wouldn't suggest 7 days of 100+ temperatures, on  D7-13 chart, has any more merit than a 30" snow storm on a D11 chart would in winter.  But, we do need to keep in mind, there are times when big scenarios start showing up at extended leads, and they do so because the governing dynamics are overwhelming the typical/'noisy' offsetting events out in time.   Sandy did that.  So did the heat wave recently in western Europe.   ...etc..etc..

I’m a bit surprised the rise in dews has not yielded more precip though. You’d think by shear luck we’d run into more rain drops. Some areas have I suppose but some keep getting the poked with a dry shaft.

yeah...2-m that afternoon is a 102 hover over ASH I think I saw...

BUT, there is a typical extended range GFS bully trough and deep correction soon after that day.   It seems to manifest in that model out of nowhere - but ... meaningless at this range.

The model is likely too dry in the BL ...it's probably why it is so hot like that with all them 104 days, because it's over mixed with DPs probably crashing in a shimmering mirages under buzzing sun ...   Nights are down into the low 70s, so we'd be talking 35 diurnals - this isn't a desert.   

This model has always had a problem with theta-e logistics in the lower troposphere.   It's not terrible in nearer terms though so...can't expect much from it at D12 LOL. 

Anyway, there's likely going to be a non-hydrostatic + anomaly through that period ...sending heat our way. But I'm guessing it's 10% less in magnitude and we're really more like 95/68 climo heat wave.   If we get closer and that ominous look is there well that's a different take then. 

The diving PNA and the +NAO out in the period gives the heat signal more confidence than priors this season when combining a telecon spread that much better fits La Nina summer climo than we've seen.

I could not scratch my head any less hard over that... that was a bust on my part.   I'm not sure if that's also a feed-back (negative) from antecedent parched Earth or what, but I distinctly recall posting prior to last week that folks should consider it a 'regime change' - which did okay.. but part of that regime change was honestly an expectation for more convective rains in the area to go along with DPs.   

The DPs just evaporated by day and came back by night. It was routinely 75 here at dawns, and 63 with transparent CU towers in the afternoon.  It's hard to erupt anything when we're ventilating all our moisture out of the column.  I think I know why for that behavior but it's tl;dr who cares long

Great weather for a ball game.  Wanted to see what a dumpster fire looks like, but it’s Ortiz night after his HOF induction so at least there’s something fun.  Free tickets help too, ha.  Hopefully not the last time I see Bogaerts.

Good seats.

74/54 it feels ,dare I say, cool with the breeze. Whineminster stomping his hoodie in disgust.

I could not scratch my head any less hard over that... that was a bust on my part.   I'm not sure if that's also a feed-back (negative) from antecedent parched Earth or what, but I distinctly recall posting prior to last week that folks should consider it a 'regime change' - which did okay.. but part of that regime change was honestly an expectation for more convective rains in the area to go along with DPs.   

The DPs just evaporated by day and came back by night. It was routinely 75 here at dawns, and 63 with transparent CU towers in the afternoon.  It's hard to erupt anything when we're ventilating all our moisture out of the column.  I think I know why for that behavior but it's tl;dr who cares long

I guess with all the yard work I have been lately my lawn is wet from the sweat dripping down my backside…

"Comfortably low dewpoints again tomorrow...then they return into the 70F+ range Thursday/Friday (low again for the weekend)."

Seesaw back and forth as we begin to step this summer down.

I think I've sat in pretty much the same seat, maybe a couple of rows back.  You have to keep your head turned to the left to watch the batter.  Sore neck at the end of the night.
