There's a little bit of good news here. The last 7 GFS runs ending with today's 12Z had a high of 98 at KSAV. The actual high today was 96. So, even the GFS, which has generally been not quite as hot as the Euro, was 2 F too warm today. Hopefully, that's a sign that the even hotter Euro can be thrown out due to too low dewpoints per a met I read. Nevertheless, the latest GFS still has hottest highs at KSAV at 100-103 the next 7 days. Even after taking 2 F away, the implication is that it is going to be quite difficult to not hit 100 on several days upcoming. So, I expect that to occur. Let's see what happens.

At least here, the GFS and HRRR were right on the mark.
 
Tomorrow looks rough.

It's been hot, but the evenings have felt pretty good...not like the mid-summer super humid crap.

That will change by late next week as the SW flow kicks in and humidity ramps up.

BTW, for those looking forward to the SER flattening, the 00z GFS was a notable step backwards. In fact, up until 372hr (when a decent cold front seems to finally come through), it's 90s most of the time.

Phil, look back. I mentioned GNV's 99 record below the top list. Yes, misery loves co. No walk outside today!

There was at 5:30 but certainly not today or tonight. Planning on spending the day at ChopStix on Bivens Arm tomorrow, looking at the lake and critters from a big air conditioned picture window!
 
The high today at ATL was 94*F, officially breaking the previous record high of 93*F back in 1996.

Beaufort, SC took top spot with 102° today.
Alma, GA recorded 100°.
Only saving grace is the dewpoints are dropping into the low and mid 60s during peak heating/temps.

Thanks. Also, Albany was 99. As awful as today and the next few days will be, I don’t think we’re going to get those even higher Euro predicted temps.

It really wasnt bad today or yesterday here. It was hot for sure, but the humidity being low made it managable.
 
dID I not say when the faucet turned off it would really turn off? and I was dismissed by Webber and others back in winter forecasting this in the spring/summer. WHERE IS MY INTERNSHIP GSP

I think our worst 3 days are starting tomorrow thru Tuesday. Although the GFS still suggests some compressional heating skyrockets CHS up to 102 WED.
Today was odd. 97 still but our winds shifted light NE around 9am and remained that way until this afternoon with the sea breeze front. The lower dewpoints today were indeed one caveat that did not make it feel downright oppressive
 
Going to take a big event to shake up the pattern. If hurricane season doesn’t do it, we look for a derecho, if neither occurs, we look for a Fall time tornado or winter weather event. Exciting.

I think a comet might do it, but it would have to hit Wilkesboro to help us all out!

Does anyone have any analogs or information that compares other Summers that had heat waves of this magnitude in May or close to it?

*MAYBE* 1996?

My main issue with that one is we're in a weak El Nino now, while 1996 was a weak La Nina (though oddly enough, the 2019 pattern has been very La Nina-like).
