Forecast looks average, but won't be long before it gets downgraded - it is August after all!
You need to look more on the bright side even though it can be tough with a bad pattern. I see quite a few days above avg in that forecast (8 days I believe) . You sound like me in winter with the negativity.
Cooler than average for the last couple days of July with scattered storms mainly a threat today. The month will end up about 1.5F above average (mean). Then warmer than average next week and VERY humid by all indications. Look at the lows by next Thursday and Friday. And that's ORD's forecast. The minimums at MDW (and downtown) are usually a few degrees warmer.
George, what pattern creates above normal temps and avg precip in the Mid-Atlantic. Our avg July temp is over 3F above avg, and our rainfall might exceed average at this point with more rain forecast today. Currently rainfall here is right on avg and everything is lush green at this point. Doesn't sound like La Nina to me. More like 2012.
3F above average?! Aha so Bastardi was right afterall
You're getting a southern flow right up the coast. Probably a result of the Bermuda High
Let me look into your recent pattern to double check. Remember, we aren't in a La Nina yet. It's been ENSO neutral for most of the summer and not up until the last couple of weeks has region 3.4 dipped into weak La Nina territory.

He wasn't right cause he said bone dry and westerly winds. The winds are mostly onshore recently or just straight south. We have gotten loads of rain recently. He never predicted that.
