North America: Record Cold Inbound
June 18, 2021 Cap Allon   

The weather models suggested it earlier in the week, and now they have only gained in confidence: record-breaking cold is inbound for much of the North American continent starting Sunday.

The MSM may be milking the West’s heat for all it’s worth, but they’re about to have some serious explaining to do as a powerful, wide-reaching Arctic outbreak looks set to blast much of the CONUS with record-setting cold.

Looking at the latest GFS run (shown below), an extensive mass of unusually frigid air will descend from northern Alberta in Canada all the way down to the southern U.S. states of Texas and Oklahoma.

The outbreak will begin on Sunday, June 20 –the first day of summer in the northern hemisphere– and will have taken hold by the time Monday, June 21 rolls around:

Our ten day forecast calls for overnight lows in the 40s and low 50s.

Me too man.
Not crazy, but still much cooler than normal.

I have a lot of work to do outside, so I don't mind so much at the moment. This winter might be a different story.

The maps in the article show no relief at all for California and Arizona.  There are more 120 degree days for us next week.

Nor in SE Texas. Seasonably hot and humid for the entire forecast.

Here, 120 is "seasonally hot."  But, we usually don't see 120 degree days until July-August.

Not here... High 80s and low 90s. That's bloody hot.

Our definition of "Hot" is when the overnight low is over 90 degrees.  Been that way for days. It's OK, it's why I live here.

Well thankfully, our shade works up in here, and night time will bring blessed relief... But the lakes and rivers are still too dang cold for swimming so daytime is going to suck.

Its why I live by the ocean. Cannot handow the heat.

North Texas area: high 90's every day.

PM me your address, I'll send you a box of cold air (not responsible for any shipping damage which might occur). 

Just send us some of that 90 degree December air y'all get.

[Smokin Joe]

Different weather pattern. We get that arctic influence that runs down the east side of those hills and just flows across where the ice sheets used to be.

Yeah, but it's a dry heat.

You could fart in that box and it would feel like air conditioning down there in AZ...

Yeah... And stacks up the west side so all that southern heat has no where to go... Except north 

[Smokin Joe]

If I did, the box wouldn't hold up long enough to make it to Arizona. Heck, It wouldn't make it to the SD line.

It is only 111 right now (6:17pm). It was 115 yesterday...

114 up here at the Castle...118 down by the River.  It was 122 there earlier.  It should be back under 110 by Tuesday.

No way. Just shoot me.

[Sighlass]

High today (Alabama) 71 degrees.... slightly humid *ok, in the middle of some tropical storm just dumping on us.

[Sighlass]

Yeah, some areas local are getting washed away .... 8 inches and still raining.

[roamer_1]

None for me thanks. It gets 90 around here and I am sitting in the river, or heading up the mountains looking for snow.

Today's low temperature is 97.7, at 6 AM.  Looks like another 120 day coming on.

See, it's 55 here right now. high 60s and rain today.

Around Tuesday, high 80s and heading for mid 90s by the weekend... But always down in the 50s at night for sweet relief.

I do not go outside.  I have a bad case of fibromyalgia and my body does not regulate heat.  I get hotter and hotter and hotter, my face turns red, and I faint.  Am packing my bag and will be at your porch later today.

What is this "rain" of which you speak?  LOL.  The Castle rain gauge shows 0.45 inches of the stuff this year.

Don't come here!  Bullhead City is where people go to shrivel up and die in the heat.

LOL! Yeah... I have fibro too... Though I have largely figured out how to shut it off... Or rather not to let it get started, so I get it. But I sit out on the porch every night in the cool of the evening, maybe even under a blanket, and I would not trade that for anything. I am pretty good, even on hot days, as it is usually quite comfortable till late afternoon. So I can go outside most of the time.

It's a nice slow spring rain. Supposed to go all day. Grass is growing to beat the band.

When one has a gravel lawn, grass is the enemy.  Outside of our "lawn," the landscape is all "natural desert," meaning lots of Manzanita and cacti.

My front yard:

[Elderberry]

I've been replacing a portion of my wood fence that my tangerine tree had kept from falling down for many years. Well the tree died in the freeze so I'm slowly replacing the fence. I can only work on it for 3 to 4 hrs each day in this heat and humidity. I go thru 2 or 3 t-shirts, with several water breaks. When I got night leg cramps, I realized I was not replacing all the salt I was sweating out. So now I re-salt at each break. No more cramps. I'm now down to just replacing the last half of a double gate, so I can again get out my 53Willys, 56Chev 3/4T, and lowboy.

Ahh... MoBedda... On the laptop now instead of the chromebook...

Pardon me if I say your yard looks like a barren furnace to me... 

Needs piney woods and water... But, I don't know what it is like not to mow all the time. Till it cooks off, my back yard needs it twice a week. Thankfully my son came by last night and gave it a whirl, because if all this rain had hit it, it would have been too wet for days.

I been there... get to chuggin on the PowerAde too. I guess I ain't ever had it like you. but I have raked asphalt in 100 degree temps. And considering my penchant for high mountain snows, that took some doing.

Maybe you could get done early and sit your butt in a river somewhere or something... Though maybe that's like sitting in warm tea down by you. Up in here, the rivers are still too cold to stay in em. Even the lakes are still icy till mid July or so. But man is that clear  cold water refreshing when August gets here.

The wife and I lived in Dallas in 1980 when she was pregnant with our son.  We has 56, I believe,  consecutive days where the temperature went over 100.  Back then it was called summer.

I lived near there that Summer, and I remember it well.  It inspired me to pull up my shallow stakes and move to Phoenix so I can really do the heat up right....

In 1980 I was shoveling St Helens ash and incidentally, graduating high school. That was a sh*tty summer.

Your desert (Sonoran) is much prettier than mine (Mojave).  I've taken visitors out to the Sonoran Desert out towards Florence Junction after a spring rain, and the flowers are amazing!  That desert is full of life, and plants, and birds and things...

Sonoran plants do thrive here when introduced.  My next door neighbor has two nice Saguaros.

I worked a well out in Nevada many years ago about 90 miles north of Vegas, and we got what would be a light drizzle by ND standards. The whole desert went nuts for a couple of days with a riot of blooms. Beautiful. Just beautiful, but a long, somewhat drab wait between rains...

I was working a pipeline job in the Mojave Desert.  There was a light drizzle for a few hours with 1/4 inch of accumulation.  That night they spent 20 minutes on the evening news talking about it.  In the Texas Gulf Coast, that would be normal morning dew....

Hey. It's been a while now... But the year I bought that skyjacked teal shortbox chevy... bought it going into 4th of July weekend and had one hella good party. Monday morning I was herding that ol girl's 37's through 4" of snow.
