June 2022
It's 1:15 and already 98° here.
Waiting till 7PM to attempt mowing. It's too damned hot.
Mega upper level Death Ridge block through about the 20th across the models and ensembles. High and dry for the next week+
101 here. Was outside 20-25 min cutting a grate for my grill and I am soaked. It’s HOT out there. Little breeze helps but sheesh.. no end in sight for a good week as well. 
Dang! 101°F there? You’re only about 45 minutes from me and I’m at 96°F. Same as yesterday. I might top out at 97. I’m definitely not complaining lol

Boring/oppressive weather pattern. A lot of people are thankful for it, but it doesn't do much good for us this time of year. You need a blocking ridge in August/September, not June! Our luck, the ridge will leave when a hurricane is threatening.

This pattern really does suck, and unfortunately it could be around for the next 14+ days, I see no relief in the short and long term, brutal
Well I reached 97°F which now makes it the hottest day of the year for me. Heat index is brutal coming in at 107.
Why would anyone be thankful? Do they want to pay my electric bill? Are Minnesotans thankful for -20°F - -30°F winter temps?captainbarbossa19 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 3:48 pm Boring/oppressive weather pattern.

100°F here. I noticed the stands at Blue Bell are not full.

Their are some signs of optimism in the noaa 8-14 day outlook, has slightly above normal precip while SE Texas is in the near normal zone, will see how that changes, but maybe just maybe their is a slicer of hope that we can get this death ridge to break down late next week
It is now dark and still 94°F. Would like to wait a bit to walk the dog. She's a 118 lb lab and don't want to expose her too much to the heat.
The 8-14 day outlook is seeing the tropical mischief in northern Mexico. Don't think there's a lot of hope. HDX southern counties may be a bit more normal, but hot and dry appears to be the rule in CLL.

I really do not understand it either. A ridge does not help if there are no storms for it to block. If anything, it could be problematic for us later. With no storms over the Gulf, the water will be warmer if a storm heads this way later this season, which means more fuel.DoctorMu wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 5:35 pmWhy would anyone be thankful?

Need the death ridge to move east just enough to allow a weak tropical storm to plough northwest all the way through the state.

Virtually all models and GEFS, GEPS ensembles are seeing tropical mischief and rain in northern Mexico, possibly the Rio Grande in that 8-14 day period...growing consistency (trend) on this. Whether ridging subsides enough for HOU or CLL to benefit is another question.Stratton20 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 12, 2022 12:59 pm We officially have an area to watch in the caribbean now
Yeah, late August, just in time for a big TS to hit Texas. We'd be far better letting the lemonade in and then an early season cold front to end the western Gulf season early.Stratton20 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 9:14 pm DoctorMu I think the ridge will begin to back off just a bit, at aome point this pattern has to break
I really miss last summer. Never hit 100°F here.

DoctorMu yep ridging is the #1 question now, hope we can get the ridge to weaken just enough to allow for a weak system to get pulled to the NW or even just moisture getting pulled north would be beneficial, anything to end this miserable heat wave
12Z CMC now shows the tropical system the GFS has been showing.Brings some decent rain into south Texas.
