Galveston, with a period of record that goes back to May 1874, had its warmest April, May, and June on record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blocking pattern has been weakening the warm pool to our east. So the record SSTs off the East Coast have cooled while the Canadian Maritimes have warmed. The SE Ridge or WAR pattern has been on hiatus since late May when we had the record heat on May 31st. @donsutherland1 @bluewave The persistence of this multi-year La Niña event is just astonishing. Looks like a big restrengthening is on the way over the next several months, thanks in part to the strong -IOD event helping to drive the next burst of very strong easterlies and subsequent upwelling kelvin wave. The latest ENSO forecast doesn’t have region 3.4 going above -0.5C until March/April: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The -IOD is on steroids with all-time record heat in Japan and record rain and flooding in Australia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This -IOD is insanely strong. It is positively feeding back into the background La Niña state. Would not surprise me if it helps this Niña reach moderate strength by winter like some models are showing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycwinter Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 even the nws gets it wrong for the city.. this was there morning forecast High pressure will build in from the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley the rest of the day. This should help bring in a push of drier air with dew points falling into the 50s inland and to around 60 degrees near the coast. dewpoint has been in the 40's in the city 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s turning out to be a west of the Hudson summer for heat so far. Most spots east of the Hudson still haven’t had an official heatwave yet. Very strong onshore flow influence with all the blocking and high pressure to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbisso Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I think the big story through the 1st half of met summer will be the low dew points. In the mid forties today in July is pretty impressive and we should have many more days the next week or so like today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Tomorrow will see spectacular sunshine accompanied by seasonably warm temperatures. The first 10 days of July could see near normal readings overall in the Northeast. A brief surge of heat could follow afterward. Overall, the month will likely wind up somewhat warmer than normal. During June 16-20, the MJO has been in Phase 1 at an amplitude of 1.500 or above. Of the six cases that saw such an outcome during June 15-25 (1988, 2003, 2010, 2012, 2017 and 2020), four had a warmer than normal July, one was somewhat cooler than normal and one was cooler than normal. The ECMWF seasonal forecast indicates that the summer will be warmer than normal throughout the region and across much of North America. Based on how the pattern has been evolving during the spring transition to summer, it is more likely than not that the warmest anomalies of the summer will likely occur in July and August with June being the coolest of the three months in the Northeast. The latest ECMWF monthly forecast indicates that July will be warmer than June relative to normal and that August will be the warmest summer month relative to normal. In addition, in the 6 past cases when the June AO averaged +0.750 or above (1950-2021), 50% of the following July cases were warmer than normal. 67% of the following August and September cases featured above normal temperatures. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.6°C for the week centered around June 22. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.30°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.82°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through the summer. The SOI was +10.03 The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.020 today. On July 1 the MJO was in Phase 3 at an amplitude of 1.103 (RMM). The June 30-adjusted amplitude was 1.436 (RMM).

I do not know exact timing. But given the computer model output of the last few days it seems to me that the pattern is trying very hard to change. The blocking has to decrease to allow that to happen and something has to trigger the blocking to break down. And I can now see several ways that it might occur. The maps go back and forth and I think the GFS frankly is in a bit of a rush trying to change the pattern, it might be slower and later on. But the GEFS has been trending warmer with less blocking for the passed several runs and the EPS towards the end of its runs has begun trending that way as well. There is uncertainty and the blocking could return quickly. But if we're in a different spot in the flow and the blocking returns with our being under WAR, it's a whole new ballgame. And that's how we'd get a very long duration heatwave. WX/PT 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 The Euro seasonal issued back on June 5th is doing a pretty good job so far for July. Notice the main theme was the ridge remaining to our west since June. It will be interesting to see what it comes up with for August when the forecast is updated tomorrow. We will also get a hint of how the fall pattern and La Niña could progress. July forecast issued on June 5th Current forecast for the next 2 weeks 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
