This indeed could be the pattern. Frequent shots of cool air for Midwest. Not sure about east though.
CFSv2 still wants to bring back warmer than average temps beyond the 8-14 day period
Notice I never post an image 14 days away. If I do its for a laugh or something interesting. But its really a joke to look at (I know you know)
Also, I rarely post multiple day averages like 6-10 days. That's a joke because it could be well below normal on Day 6 but above normal 7-10 yet the map will show light blues as if there was no well above or well below normal days. I hate multiple day averages.
Just like looking at a monthly departure not telling the whole story..

I look for trends in the models and I post them mostly for fun too. Unfortunately, like you said, beyond 6-10 day it's like flipping a coin.
Starting to warm up, but not back to normal until Saturday
Forecast high today is 30°C (normal high is 35°C)

I also look at his posts and have an idea what the trend is. lol
If he's well below normal I have to get ready to be well above. If he's starting to warm back up and back to normal this weekend, I assume I will be cooling back down. And that's exactly the case. lol
Highs of 60s this weekend (normal is 70). I'll be enjoying the next 3 days, hard to come by lately.. but where are the 70s?
On Monday (May 15), the high temperature in Athens, GA was 90°F, making it the first such day of 2017. Ironically, the low temperature that morning was 55°F, and I was able to see my breath in the streetlight outside before the sun rose.
Yesterday (May 16), the high temperature was 91°F, and today (May 17) the high is forecast to be 90°F. Forecast highs get as hot as 93°F on Saturday (May 20), before stormy weather moves in Sunday-Tuesday (May 21-23) and temperatures return to normal.
Also today, the high temperature in Pittsburgh is forecast to be 88°F, which begs the question: Will today be the warmest day in Pittsburgh in 2017?
