Update on the rest of June from Accu-W long range forecast Alex Sosnowski.
Let's check back on this at the end of the month. They don't have a great track record. I highlighted things to take note of. Also, wearing long sleeves or a jacket day or night in summer is a big bummer for me. I wonder what temps he considers jacket wearing weather? Hmmm.
The unofficial start to summer has come and gone along with steamy weather in many areas. When will the 90 F weather return? June is likely to be a month of atmospheric mood swings and highly variable weather conditions.
While the very chilly weather from April into early May is a thing of the past, there will be multiple bouts of cool air and unsettled conditions into the middle of the month. "Several more southward dips in the jet stream are likely to plunge into the Northeast through the first half of June," according to AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok. "More waves of cool air will result."
The waves of cool air will last several days each.
Since the sun is intense during June, when and where the sky is clear for a few hours on a given day, temperatures will generally bounce back to near seasonable levels.
Average highs for the middle of June range from the lower 70s in Caribou, Maine, to the middle 70s in Boston, near 80 in New York City and Pittsburgh and the middle 80s in Washington, D.C.
In between the waves of cool air will be brief spikes of warmth, where temperatures can climb a few degrees above average. The strong sun will provide occasional comfort for summertime activities, including swimming.
A pattern such as the one forecast through the middle of the month has the potential to bring nearly daily rounds of showers and thunderstorms.
With this setup, the sun will warm the ground early in the day, then the downpours will erupt during the afternoon hours, cooling the air.
It can get cool enough to require a jacket and long sleeves at times, especially in the mountains. "We expect the pattern to change during the last third of the month or so," Pastelok said.
Later in the month, the jet stream may bulge northward enough to turn off the cool air episodes and frequent showers.
"It is possible the jet stream may bulge so far to the north that not only will it bring very warm conditions on a more consistent basis, but perhaps it will help deliver more 90-degree days in the mid-Atlantic and New England during the last third of the month," Pastelok said. "This change could occur a bit sooner farther west across the Midwest.
Even though not all locations in the Northeast may reach 90 during the latter part of the month, it will feel like summertime around the official start of summer: June 20 at 6:34 a.m. EDT.
The general pattern during the last 10 days or so of the month will favor AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures often reaching well into the 80s and 90s in many locations.
"Cool spells aside,when June is all said and done, temperatures for the month as a whole will average slightly above normal east of the Appalachians and solidly above normal west of the Appalachians," Pastelok said.

Just stay in the 70s for few days straight!
Blue skies feels so great!!
A few days w/o sun makes you appreciate it when it's back.
You need to spend some time in Furnace Creek, then 80's in CT would feel great, too.
Not the same as this "Land Hurricane" on June 1st... Check out whats spinning at the Ontario/Quebec border. PRETTY!
See Colin's convection in the Gulf?
See the Northwest flow coming to the Eastern U.S?
That big spin is an Upper AND Surface Low again. Cold pool aloft keep surface cool under there. About to push a front across tomorrow.
Loop last 2 days.. Isn't it fascinating to see how that big spin came about? Think of the power of the atmosphere......
Ridge in Pacific created an initial flow from the southwest in Eastern U.S which pushed up into Canada and helped that big storm to spin into what we see today. Just watch this.
78f now. Still feels like heaven, I love the calm breeze. Can it be like this every day for the rest of the year? Lol
