June 2022

A big goose egg for most of us in Davidson county. On the plus side, I'm on week three of not having to mow.

[82/83 El Nino baby]

Ended up with .70 yesterday. The first .50 fell in like 5 minutes. Now at 2.81 for the month. Although it has been dry compared to any recent month, it looks like many on here have been much dryer.

We either picked up a one-minute shower yesterday afternoon, or someone in a jet flushed as it flew over the house.

To move ahead some I must say

There is not that strong of a signal for a third-year La-Nina.  A few even want to pull a 2014-15 and have a late-blooming weak west-central based El-Nino by Feb-March. 

I would go into the fall and winter, to be honest, expecting ENSO to not be much of a factor as we look to either be neutral or very weak in either direction (around + or -0.5C).  The other Pacific Ocean factors plus the Indian Ocean (measurements like PDO, MJO, WPO, and EPO) will be the factors that determine how we perform after September.

It will be interesting to see what becomes of that Western Canada ridge/blocking and does it eventually merge with our ridge as it continues to build westward.

If so we could be setting up a solid +PNA feature going into our cooler months which of course would be a good sign for most of us on this forum.

.92 inches of rain for the month so far. Ouch.

The first 10 days of July at least look to be solidly above average, but we return to more typical humid days with the heat of the day storm chances.  Not widespread relief but a few lucky souls may get some healthy rainfall here and there.   

Once the Monsoon ends in the Desert Southwest, the West is going to fry especially if our death ridge merges with that Western Canadian ridge. Kentucky/Tennessee (minus perhaps NE TN) is probably going to be in the frying pan too, but if we stay on the edge of the ridging we will likely still have our heat of the day storm chances.

The ground is more parched around here than I can recall. If we don’t get some stray soakers we will be in for some major shrub and ornamental tree loss. It sure seems like late August!

When I was out yesterday evening to water plants and play fetch with the pup I was thinking to myself it really felt like late summer. It's good to know I wasn't just imagining it!

A grass fire burned several acres in a large hay field across the road from our house yesterday evening.  Fortunately, the Lascassas VFD was able to put it out before it threatened any structures.

Memphis is going to report a Top 10 Warmest/Driest June on record.

Anyone in Davidson County east of 65 and north of 40 hit the rain jackpot yesterday. I work near BNA, and watched the storm, just across the interstate, not move for over two hours. It only sprinkled at my location. I crossed over I-40 on the way home, and huge puddles were everywhere.
