Day 193: Summer Returns
Tonight’s images come from the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) and are forecasts for the next 6-10 days (above) and 8-14 days (below). These are forecasts of temperature relative to normal. As I mentioned in the last few days, the ridge in the east that was responsible for the extremely hot temperatures along the east coast last week is now redeveloping over the central United States. As such, expect above normal temperatures in the near term.
