El Nino-like Pattern Developing In 5-10 Day With Major Heat Headed For Pacific Northwest!

Written by on June 22, 2015 in Spring 2015, Summer 2015, United States of America with 0 Comments

The pattern is shifting as we head for the heart of the warm season with a much more El Nino-like upper atmosphere starting to show in the day 6-10.

For those sweating over the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, hang in there! As the Southwest heat ridge migrates north, a trough will drop over the Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley in response. This will eventually trim heights and those upper 90s, low 100s from South Georgia into southern Virginia. Till mid this week, you may find it even hotter here and anything experienced thus far unfortunately.

A week from now and we may have the same heights that are currently over South Carolina, over northeast Washington state and a challenge to all-time records.
