Better enjoy this heat while it lasts. Looks like it will be all over for summer 2019 after this weekend.
We go back to the pattern we had all of May and for the first three weeks of June
and the Euro seems to have caved to the GFS solution for the end of July. Sucks.... It will probably ruin our chances of making up the negative temperature anomaly from June.
CFSv2 centers the cool down further into the Plains
and we don't recover from the cool down until the second week of August

Heat wave is setting in here too, walked out this morning, and YUK, felt sticky and muggy sitting at 72f with dew point of 72. High 87 with low of 70.
BUT What is with next weeks forecast!!?? It shows almost every day with highs only in the 70's from Monday thru Saturday with lows down in 50's every night. Wow! That's bizarre for 2nd half of July in northern Arkansas.
It looked for a time that the remnants of Barry weren't going to bring us all that promised rain, but it did in the end. Most places around here did end up with the 1-2 inches originally forecast with some spots reporting more than that in the past 24 hours. It was much needed as well. We're still sitting under a pretty solid cloud deck so today will be muggy but not terribly hot. That stuff kicks off tomorrow and lasts through the day Sunday. I think I read this morning that about half of the US will be 95F or hotter over the next 7 days. Heat index of 105-110 forecast here tomorrow through Sunday. The bad thing about the rainfall from Barry is that the saturated ground will probably not help with the humidity situation.
And Tom, do you remember the discussions we had about the warm blob during the summer of 2015 which you attributed for it being a cool summer? Those SST's are nearly the same now and yet we've had 3 weeks of hot weather here. Goes to show you that the same SSTs may have different or no impacts in the summer compared with the winter.
