July 2024

July looks to start dry and pleasant before heat starts to build around the 4th

[bluewave]

Comfortable start to July with lows in the 40s for the interior Northeast. So we get a break from the major 95°+ heat and very high dew points for a few days. 
 

 

 

[SACRUS]

 

71/ 56 and sunny.  Great stretch of weather the next 72 hours, low to mid 80s, mostly sunny / partly cloudy and low humidity.   Ridge builds back in by Wed - warming up.   Fourth looks mainly dry and scattered storms later - think its more isolated/ Could be cloudy, otherwise  near/ low 90s.   Ridging along the east coast keeps a more warm-hot / humid flow from Fri (7/5) into the coming extended weekend and next week - When its not cloudy, it heats up quickly, but chances for rain .  18 - >20C  by Fri and the weekend would make 90s easy with sunshine  Later next week more humid southerly flow keeps it overall warm but continued storms chances.

 

7/1 - 7/3 : Dry and gorgeous stretch
7/4 - 7/8 :  Hot, Humid - storms chances - when sunny heats up quick (potential heatwave)
7/0 - beyond : Overall warm - humid and rain chances - tropics could enhance mid month

 

[SACRUS]

 

Current progression of 7 days - believe those increase with storms over the weekend.   MW continues the soaking.

Ended up with 1.65" rainfall yesterday.  Everything nice and green again.  No complaints.  Refreshing out there this morning with a gusty breeze and very comfortable temps and humidity.

Yeah that's the way it looks. Hopefully we can get anything significant to hold off until Friday night into Saturday so that we can have a couple mostly dry days for cookouts and fireworks. Models still not showing much for the 4th ... just isolated activity and it's possible it could hold off until night or stay to the south and west. Hopefully it won't get any worse as we get closer.

Yeah I see the gfs holds off until Saturday

80 degrees with a dew point of 56 here. I'm leaving now to do some hiking this afternoon. Just perfect summer weather for outdoor activities.

It’s so beautiful outside. I feel like I’m moving through air and not water. 

[bluewave]

With the convection in the forecast for next weekend, we will keep the measurable rain on weekend theme going. Only 1 weekend since the beginning of March without at least a trace of rain. Many spots had more rain than Newark did yesterday.

Tomorrow and Wednesday will be pleasant days with abundant sunshine, low humidity, and a refreshing breeze. Afterward, it will turn warmer. Overall, the month looks to be warmer to much warmer than normal.

In parts of California, Nevada, and Arizona, a severe long-duration heatwave will develop this week. The heat could spread into the Pacific Northwest this weekend with the temperature soaring into the upper 90s to perhaps 100° in Portland. Fresno and Redding could approach or reach their records for most consecutive 110° days. So far, such severe heat appears unlikely in the East during at least the first third of July.

The latest summer guidance continues to suggest a warmer to much warmer than normal summer lies ahead.  

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.9°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was 0.3°C for the week centered around June 19. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.88°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.15°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely evolve into a La Niña event during the late summer or early fall.

The SOI was +19.57 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +2.320 today.

The system used for noting the two day rainfalls is similar to that used previously for two day snowfalls. They end on the date listed, * means that only the

record rainfall for the date is involved in the two-day maximum, and ** means that the two-day max comes from the previous date's record rainfall.

Temps in brackets with record low mins are non-record maxima associated, to give a more complete picture of type of day setting low minima.

Historical: 

 

1792 - A tremendous storm (a tornado or hurricane) hit Philadelphia and New York City. Many young people were drowned while out boating on that Sunday. (David Ludlum)

1911 - The high of just 79 degrees at Phoenix AZ was their coolest daily maximum of record for the month of July. The normal daily high for July 1st is 105 degrees. (The Weather Channel)

1979 - It snowed almost half a foot (5.8 inches) at Stampede Pass WA, a July record. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Lake Charles LA was drenched with a month's worth of rain during the early morning. More than five inches of rain soaked the city, including 2.68 inches in one hour. A thunderstorm in the southern Yakima Valley of Washington State produced high winds which downed trees up to six feet in diameter. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - Twenty-six cities in the north central and northeastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date. Lows of 48 degrees at Providence RI, 48 degrees at Roanoke VA, 49 degrees at Stratford CT, and 48 degrees at Wilmington, DE, were records for the month of July. Boston MA equalled their record for July with a low of 50 degrees. Five inches of snow whitened Mount Washington NH. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Showers and thunderstorms associated with the low pressure system which was once Tropical Storm Allison continued to drench parts of Mississippi, Louisiana and eastern Texas. Late night thunderstorms produced 12.58 inches of rain at Biloxi, MS, in six hours, and 10.73 inches at Gulfport MS. Flooding in Mississippi over the first six days of the month caused 55 million dollars damage. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

2002: San Antonio, Texas recorded 9.52 inches of rain on this day to set a new record for its greatest rainfall for the entire month of July.

Much wetter pattern starting to show up now that the models have a cutoff low to our west in early July. Interesting how most times in recent years following 100° heat it has turned wet. So not much chance in the immediate future of seeing a repeat of the 100° heat in late June. The high dew points and active convection pattern should be the big story.

It reminds me of what monsoonal climates often experience. They have their warmest summer temperatures early followed by the heavier rains. 2021 was an example of this here. Newark made it to 103° in June which was followed by the heavier rains for the rest of the summer into September. It will be interesting to see if 100° stands as the warmest or Newark make makes amither run later on. These are the June to September monthly maximum temperatures for Newark and the rainfall.

It can rain all it wants here next week, saves me from worrying about the garden while we're in Provincetown where it will hopefully stay dry.

[SACRUS]

 

74 / 54 sunny and another gem on tap.   Low - Mid 80s, warmer spits to the upper 80s.   A bit warmer tomorrow s ridge builds in mid / upper 80s, perhaps a stray 90 in the warmer spots.  $th of July mainly dry but some scattered storms later in the evening.  Ridge west, trough into the MW, and Western Atlantic Ridge keeping heights elevated along the East coast with a humid southerly/SW flow.  Overall warm - hot with chances for storms and increased rainfall.  Cut off low under the Atlantics ridge meander offshore.  Hotter day Sun (7/7). Clouds will limit heat when storms fire but chances of near/low 90s in the period.

 

7/1 - 7/3 : Dry, warm near normal
7/4 - 7/11: Warm - hot, humid - storms almost daily
7/12 - beyond : Overall warm, could see piece of western heat eject east

Ridge west/ trugh MW, ridging into the east coast.  Warm/humid with more chances for rain/ wetter

That ridge - trof - ridge positioning would be interesting (if that pattern persists) as we head into August and September as far as tropical threats for the east coast.  Just speculation so we'll see how it goes.

It was only a matter of time. Prolonged dry spells are a thing of the past, or if they happen, they're followed by torrential rains.
