Some Wet: Here of course and as most are aware, in the southern plains. Take a look at this precip graphic. First off...PA for the last week...much needed rainfall.
And the southern plains were simply inundated with rainfall this past month! The Pacific NW did receive rainfall, but the graphic was simply missing some data.
OK...now onto Some Cool. Bostonians are quite familiar with cool summers. But something has happened TWICE this week in Boston that has not happened but one other time since records have been kept from 1872. On a June day, the temperature never reached 50ºF! This occurred both Monday and Tuesday when the max for both days was 49ºF! That is quite impressive! I remember being in Fenway Park on the Summer Solstice for a night game with my bride when the game time temperature was announced as 48ºF...and the crowd cheered wildly; crazy New Englanders! Here is a graphic of today's midday temps...
Now on to some stormy...this doesn't happen too often. A tropical system in the eastern Pacific will strengthen and make landfall into the southern Baja with its remnant moisture possibly giving beneficial rains to the deserts of the American west. At least this is what the models seem to be suggesting...and are in remarkably good agreement...take a look...first many of the tropical models and global models other than the GFS...
And the GFS ensembles...
And finally our own upcoming weather...a large high pressure system looks to rule the roost this weekend until a front pushes through with a bit more cooler air from O Canada later Monday pm.
First high pressure over SE Canada to clear us out...valid Saturday am...
Front coming through later Monday...

AA: Its been wet here in eastern PA, Boston set 2 records for min max temps, a hurricane will threaten Baja and carry its moisture north into our deserts, and we will have a nice weekend weatherwise...and hopefully otherwise as well! Enjoy!
