The June Thread 2021

At some point the heat building out west has got to release and come east… when it does we’re going to be in for a true heat wave. It does appear that the overall pattern for the season suggests that it wouldn’t be an extended period, but a 4-6 day period of 95-100 degree heat would certainly seem probably. It is pretty amazing to me that at this point I’ve only had eight 90+ degree days and only 3 in June (there are no forecasted highs of 90 the rest of June at the moment). It seems like most of last decade I would have easily seen at least 15 by the end of June.

Yeah but what if its not released until Sept or Oct ?
 
Terrible question, it takes days to a weeks (perhaps a couple) for a H5 pattern to change, not months
Yeah, I think the bigger issue is, where does the core of the heat go. There’s a good possibility that the highest heights get forced north causing the Great Lakes region and Northeast to bake. As far as September and October, by then the STJ should becoming a much bigger player with the Neutral ENSO and should help set us up with a nice autumn.
 
Okay at least Gfs got rid of that ridiculous heat in the long range .. it’s just constant barrages of fronts and cut offs .. probably some severe weather mixed in next weekend

Let's hope this pattern continues into peak hurricane season so we keep troughiness over the east coast.

True although I know a lot of people climo rain comes from tropical systems down the road and that’s how they avoid big drought … but if we have the troughs then I suppose rain will come with them
