Now they are surveying another area in SW CT to see if it was Straight Line Winds or Tornadic damage. I believe either Greenwich, Ridgefield, Wilton or Danbury or all towns since there were reports of trees down and power outages.

I wish the loops were longer but this is awesome to look at. Can you find the Bermuda High? lol
How about the Upper Level trough?(look near Missouri)

Call me a newbie if you want, but if I'm interpreting the map correctly, the polar jet looks like a winter setup with it going deep into Canada, plunging down towards Arkansas and looping back up north thanks to the Bermuda High?

Bingo. Yup, its a pattern you see in the winter (obviously the results are different in summer). It's called amplified. When you get a deep south trough and a high peaked ridge (which is in the west now). Jet stream doesnt buckle like that in the summer. Its typically flat.The Bermuda high is the wild card here. If there was no Bermuda High/Atlantic Ridge the East would be cooler than normal and drier. Much drier and less rain chances.

We're in the Squeeze play.

Whats going to happen now is.. The trough is going to weaken and lift northward, and the Atlantic Ridge is going to shift "West"... Yup.. Things usually move Eastward but models hinting the Atlantic Ridge will be shifting West right over us... So it means one thing is coming..... HEAT!!!

How's 90s with 70s dewpoint for you? GFS says so. This weekend & next week could become brutal

Just great. Unbearable heat and humidity, with freezing cold ocean water hugging the coastline. Our water off of New Jersey is colder than Oregon right now. Yet if you go offshore it is much warmer. I despise upwelling.

Pretty impressive for Edmonton, Alberta.

33c with a dewpoint of 23c.

Looks like a chilly evening in Maine, NH and Boston Metro as a backdoor cold front slides in. Dewpoints down to 60 there while still 70+ southwards

Extreme heat to build into the Northern Plains up to 46C in South Dakota




We will see..... Long way out

Nothing for us

That's chilly to even you?! I think all the humidity has changed your perspective. I imagine Boston residents are happy.
