We have a classic upper air pattern with building ridge into the Great Lakes, eastern Canada following a trough split in which a tropical storm is tracking WNW underneath, en-route to the US.

Here’s the latest GFS scenario for Erika.

Here’s the toasty upper pattern over top of Erika. Lot’s of heat in this pattern and 100s likely up through the Plains, 90s for Chicago, Cleveland and New York.

GFS 2 metre maximums through next week.

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING HOUSE TODAY. NO VIDEOS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS BUT HOPE TO HAVE ANOTHER WRITTEN POST ON SUNDAY. FOR UPDATES ON ERIKA, BE SURE TO FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER
