This image might help. The pattern we are in

Storms riding the Jet and just keep rotating around the trough which we are in. Cool, cloudy, rainy. Just imagine this pattern in winter where its below freezing inside the trough.

Latest interpretation of the European weeklies with added input from current observations and teleconnections.
Beyond next week, the pattern trends warmer in the east as the jet stream becomes more zonal (west to east).
Keep in mind, as we progress into the convective season (showers/thunderstorms), the precipitation becomes much more localized, thus these long-range weekly breakdowns on precipitation departures will certainly have lower skill

Dew point up to 77 F three hours after being 59 F in late afternoon. Temp down to 84 F from 95 F due to the thunderstorm.

Latitude 58.6N. And Elevation 1100'. (See obs on left)


Zoomed in shows more low-mid 80s in Canada there. Couple of 87°!. Crazy

I believe fire hazard has increased substantially for them.

High was 92 F today with a maximum heat index of 100 F. Hello, summer.




Though the low Friday night is predicted at 61 F per WU and 63 F per the NWS.

I hope u can stay in the 60s for lows next 3 months.

Btw... some crazy stuff going on with the fires in Canada. Get ready to see smomy skies in the U.S and even on the Satellite loops tomorrow.

Evacuation under way.

I imagine these are the last throws of tolerable weather in South Florida before summer kicks into full gear.

Meanwhile here we're stuck under clouds, drizzle, and highs in the 50s.
