"No prolonged heat relief will come the Northeast through the rest of July"
It's crazy. It's coming. Fearing it will be lasting too.
Speaking of being right after all ....
June 15th!

Usually she does in April to get ready for Summer Heat & Humidity. I was wondering why she wasnt shedding yet. She hasnt needed a thinner coat lately. Coat getting thinner now. If she sheds in clumps that means heat waves and consistent heat coming. No clumps yet but a sign that the pattern will get hot soon.
Hasn't been in clumps so maybe we'll get some breaks? But still, It's baffling how she does it. Without fail for 5 yrs I've been noticing. Always weeks before a major heat or cold pattern. WEIRD!!!
Yeah JB was off by a couple of weeks for the Northeast as end of June hot spell didn't materialize, but he's been pretty spot on for the Midwest. First week of July has been below normal, but heat is coming here too. We both said in the La Nina thread that this summer is likely to be hotter during the second half, and it looks as if that's about to happen.
Beatutiful

Still think august has a shot to be the hottest month or at least match July in heat like 1983. July and August had the same exact average high. Next week the heat sort of backed off just a few degrees above which means 94-95 then it seems the heat really kicks it up around what is generally the hottest part of summer.
In fact this is off of Weather Bell's site today. Bastardi's August analog
As for July, GFS has major heat in the Plains ( EURO has it centered where Bastardi drew that green circle, closer to me ) Either way it's going to be hot pretty much all over
Heat waves in the Midwest today can't hold a candle to those of the Dust Bowl
La Salle County 60 miles southwest of the city had an average high over 100F during July 1936. 15 straight days above 100 and 18 for the month! Aurora 25 miles to the west of the city, an average high over 96F, and Kankakee a few miles to the south of me an average high of 96F
Cambium was just talking about the Northeast, though I'd be surprised if dry heat was more common in the Midwest at least east of the Mississippi. The bigger difference is your thershold for dry is different than Cambium. Usual pattern here is the first hot day isn't too humid, but then it builds up as the days go on. I see a forecast for dewpoints in the high 50s and a high in the low 90s next weekend. Dunno if it will pan out.
There's the confusion right there.
