If It Is Meteorlogical Summer, The GFS Must Forecast 100 Degree Days & Above 80 Degree Dew Points.

[Rainshadow]

To be fair, the previous version was worse, this is one area that the current version is better.  It still doesnt stop it though from running a "little hot" especially in la la land.

[Rainshadow]

I may have to take back my to be fair.  This is a special kind of stupid, even if it is not suppose to be taken literally and only as a pattern indicator.

@CyphaPSU will be "happy" with this GFS forecast.  Congrats Philly on being tied for the hottest.

Just like a bad haircut these la la land record breaking heat outcomes wont go away with the new GFS in a day.

I'd say you were joking, but given it is the NAM we are talking about where no forecast is impossible, I'd say you are serious. BTW Mitch congrats on that TOR for Wilkes-Barre, heightwise not a great place to be I assume, beam must have been 5kish off the ground? Plus from what I remember of that day, it didn't scream massive TOR potential.

Potential was present over our area not a great signal but 1-2,000 J/KG CAPE plus 100 M/S2 or so of 0-1 Heilcity. About 30 mins prior we had another EF-2 in Bradford county. Yes, the radar scans were several thousand feet off the ground. I posted the NAM sounding pic in the other thread. Thanks!

I’d rather 108, challenge all time record highs

On that run you'd break the all-time record high on two consecutive days.  Heck Paul might even reach 95.  This new GFS was suppose to be better with 2m temps, it almost looks like it got infected with whatever virus the previous GFS had.  There is no doubt it is going to be hot in my mind, but you have modeling solutions that always goes toward one end of the seasonal lunatic fringes and it is annoying (for me) to be constantly in bias correcting mode with this model in particular.
