Pattern July '22

I try to like summer but just can't! The storms are nice when they come, but this humidity is just disrespectful! I don't know how you guys that live in areas where dews push 80 stand it. My dews are in the low 70s and it's just absolutely oppressive.

Easily the worst season of them all. That's why I never understood why people were rooting for heat and humidity back in spring when it was still cool to cold outside for that time of year. Heat, humidity, and begging for pop up afternoon storms to suppress potential drought conditions every year just isn't enjoyable to me. And I've been lucky enough to escape the extreme heat that others towards the coast and midlands got for 2 weeks and this week. Hottest day was 98 here during that heat wave a few weeks ago. This week's heat wave has been limited due to the storms and generally cloudy to mostly cloudy conditions here. But it's still awful outside. Ready for fall. Counting down the days to September and October.

Ventusky is showing widespread highs of 115°F to 120°F across the Central/Southern Plains on 7/21, which would shattered any all-time highs.

I'm sorry but nobody here is remotely excited about that. The TV mets have said on air they are hoping we are not headed for a 2011 repeat

The good news is the long range models have been too hot so far. Yeah this has been hot but we haven't approached the all time records like some runs had

No, we were only hoping it would not be below average in spring which is cold and unpleasant. It ruins the only time of the year that is pleasant for outdoor activity. Also, not once was it hot or humid this spring. Spring warmup are at best , outside of May, mostly June like at very hottest. Would you rather 70/50 or 55/30 in spring... and if its warmer than normal its more like 85/58 with low dews and pleasant still.

Give me the high dew points in summer. Sure it's uncomfortable but look at the pattern the last 7 days vs the dead ass low dew point summer cold front rapidly developing drought we had in June. Can't have rain around here in summer without the high dews and high temps given the general lack of forcing we see

Yeah stuck under the weaker side of a thunderstorm now and getting some decent rain. The core is just a couple miles west and I'm sure they are getting a toadstrangler

Some of the worst lightning I’ve seen in a long time coming through right now. Along with what appears to be a liquid falling from the sky, haven’t seen it in so long, unable to identify.

55/30 would be my dream spring.
 
Record high tomorrow for DFW is 106*F, which may be attainable.

Here's the 00z NAM (before convection develops):

This is the most boring July I've ever experienced in S. Florida, and the only weather events are the two Daily Record High Minimum temperatures that we broke over the last week. If it wasn't for a pesky sun-shower cooling us down to a still uncomfortable 79 temperature and dew point, I'd be slightly more entertained. Monthly Record High Minimums almost always result in a big nighttime thunderstorm. It's just Mother Nature's way of telling the rising nighttime heat to back the F off.

I do think it's interesting that the North Pacific and NE Atlantic are extremely warm, but 2022 has the 13rd lowest Arctic Ice Extent in history. Also, looks like the gradient between the high over the Atlantic and Low in West Europe/Africa will relax over the next week, and warm the Eastern Atlantic. Should see some tropical waves attempting to breath a little in about a week, as the high relaxes and western trades creates opportunity for organized Convection.

Got more rain today. Didn't have any thunder or lightning at my house, but a house in town got struck by lightning. Looks like more storms tomorrow.

Both Union counties are being hit this week. I am up to 1.90 with more possibly on the way.

This evening has definitely the best one so far for me this week. After only 1.65” from 6/1-7/4, I had gotten 1.96” the previous 3 days. So far this evening I’m at 2.12” and it looks like it’s not done yet.
 
Welp, the 90s that were in the forecast beyond Tuesday are now gone. The lowest forecast high now is 100°F on Wednesday.
