It did happen at least twice before way back in 1973 and 1906.
And there have been several years (most notably, 1992, which we all know what happened that year) where there was only one 100*F+ day.

BTW, the region is usually drying out by now. After spending the first part of this 3 week warmer than normal period dealing with evapotranspiration from the rainy period between 4/15 and 6/4, we now seem to be entering a new extended period with stubborn troughing and wet weather that wll reinforce the already saturated soils.
I know it's a crap model, but the CFS also doens't seem encouraging for a "hot" July.
Ur even more crazy than a bird lizard mix ??
I’m not sure I remember what happened in 1992, but I gotta believe that DFW manages to get a few 100+ degree days before the end of August. I do see what your saying though about how it just appears that certain things in the pattern are overall going to seem to prevail this summer.
Uhh that’s almost a spring look wrt severe wx 
1992 was our modern day "year without a Summer," in part thanks to the volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo.
Granted, the brunt of it was in the Midwest and NE. The Pacific NW though also had one of its hottest and driest summers that year.

2003 was the year without a summer in Atlanta. A couple days of 90+ and the highest was 91 or 92.

Today is very much like being on the outer edge of a tropical system with the muggy air, scattered heavy showers etc....
I had completely forgotten about that. The eruption was also believed to have caused the very slow hurricane season in the Atlantic that year. Unfortunately that was the year Andrew hit south Florida1992 was our modern day "year without a Summer," in part thanks to the volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo.

I'm very surprised by the amplitude of some of these troughs so far this summer. How common is it to see the jet stream move that far south in July? As you said, it's very spring-like.

What's funny is that I read some experts speculate that the March 1993 Superstorm was a result of that volcanic eruption. It completely threw the global atmospheric circulatory pattern out of whack which created the special circumstances for the storm to occur.

The post I quoted is models forecasting for July 3rd.
Well today is one of those days the sea breeze front has come west. About to get a solid storm coming from the southeast

Been raining a lot in eastern wake . Rain yesterday , overnight , then random downpours throughout the day today . Also the 10 day went from 82-84 to 88-90 . I told y’all as we got closer it would warm up.
The one thing that might put a bit of a cap on those temps is this tropical wave moving west towards the Carolinas and GA coast. Even if it doesn’t develop, I think it could definitely make the afternoon storms more widespread. The humidity is definitely going to be there though

Day not over yet. Still a few hours left
Well that little storm left me with a sold .77 in the gauge…. Up to 6.23 for the month
That’s some impressive wind energy for July, almost absurd for July standards outside a TC 
Wow… that’s a look that you would expect to see in late March or in April.

If/where the front stalls, probably be a weekend washout.
Couple that with the tropical wave that moving towards the GA/SC coast and things could be very wet indeed

If it's going to be 115 in portland we should be getting snow here right?

What would it take to have the same type heat (110-115) occur at the same latitude in the east, such as the UP of Michigan or Northern Maine ? Is it even possible?
Michigan would be difficult simply because the effects the cooler water of the Great Lakes have on air temperatures. I do seem to remember Chicago getting near 105 during the 1995 heat wave. The you gotta keep in mind is the temperatures that Portland and Seattle are experiencing have never occurred there since records started.

Speaking of Portland, they officially broke their all-time high temps of 107 today. Hit 108. Tomorrow it's going to be 115. That's so insane to me. Even Seattle, which has an average high of 75 in peak Summer might equal or break Atlanta's all-time high of 106. Unbelievable. They don't even have AC there so I can't imagine what those folks in the PNW must be going through.

Brother in law rented a hotel room so they'd have ac. Like when we seek hotels with power after ice storms or hurricanes.

This week is gonna be ? ? crazy. Challenging record low maximums most of the week with highs in the 70s and 2, maybe 3” of rain (25-30% of our yearly total)
Already some showers out there this morning, high PWATs/deep moist columns and low-moderate SBcape, nice environment for more widespread showers/few storms (altho mid levels are warm) later

I’m glad the tropical systems will give the Carolinas, much, much , needed rains!

GFS & ECMWF are both forecasting near all-time record breaking PWATs here through the end of the week. Flash flooding is likely going to be a problem
This might be a legit thread worthy severe weather threat 
Today and likely tomorrow are looking to be historically hot in parts of Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia as mentioned in the GW thread. Also, Tue in BC. Looking at 10AM PDT readings vs 24 hours ago:
Portland, Walla Walla, Pendleton, and Yakima are 6 F warmer.
Spokane area is 4-5 F warmer. SeaTac is 3 F warmer.
Keep in mind that June records were already obliterated yesterday in Portland and Seattle-Tac among other locations!

I’m watching if anywhere ends up hitting 120 in Canada , Ashcroft has 122 on google weather . Almost certainly too high but I hope it happens!
It's pretty awful outside
If nothing else big time rain event inbound, prefrontal trough on Friday front on Saturday will give us back to back days with high percentage chances.
