With today’s 101, KSAV had a 4th 100+ in a row. Whereas there have been a number of instances of 4 in a row, none had occurred in May before now. The longest # in a row for any month dating back to the 1870s is 5, set twice in July. There is a decent chance of reaching 5 tomorrow. Regardless, this heatwave in terms of a combo of earliness and duration is one of a kind recordswise for much of the SE US.
Though the Euro runs from a few days ago and earlier were several degrees too hot, the GFS and Euro have done an excellent job of predicting this long duration heatwave over a week out. The GFS temps have been remarkably accurate!
