The June Thread 2021

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

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.
 
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
 
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!
