Oh snap, I do see the little kink on the map. nice. Nah, I was talking about PacNW from Northern California up to Washington. Look how the flow is. Right from the Pacific. North of the heat dome and dry air. I'm surprised its not raining at the coasts at least. Why wouldn't the pacific produce rain like the Atlantic does? Maybe that little dip has enough dry air to dry things up?
There's a surface high off the coast of Oregon. Ocean temperatures much colder, less instability as there's humid ocean to clash with continental air? West coast is under high pressure most of the summer.

Water temps make a huge diff and dryer upper levels. The flow out of the gulf is like running over bath water compared to much cooler water temps out west. Our upper levels are gonna dry out and it is gonna heat up as we are back to a southeast windflow. There is almost no rain at all as i type this in my state.
{You know in the back of my eyes I look at that map above and see this below} Almost similar Jet setup. Just little more amplified as usually is in winter
And yet here I am, near Nashville, TN, average high 89+ F / 32+ C in July and August and yet not a single 100 F / 38 C in the past SIX YEARS.
This year has hit 99 F / 37 C on July 4.
2016 and 2017 each hit 98 F / 37 C.
2013, 2014 and 2015 topped out at 97 F / 36 C.
All within 3 F / 2 C. It's like climatic torture. We've had several summer months with AVERAGE highs of 92-93 F / 33-34 C. It gets so close every year. But can't crack that triple-digit mark.

Damn.... I'm just thanking god that LaGuardia hit 101°F on June 13, 2017.
