Above normal though not excessive temperatures expected for most areas through the end of the week and beyond. Tropical wave in the Caribbean has become more organized over the past 24 hours.***  The ridge in the Plains and building East looks quite strong to me. In an ordinary August, this should have more triple digit heat than we are seeing. The humidity and associated heat indices are more than making up for this. Consistent rain from earlier in the summer seem to be still having an impact on temperatures. The only shower activity of note this morning is in the Upper Midwest with a weak cold front pressing down from Canada. This will reach the NE by the weekend, but cooling will be less dramatic than recent episodes. There will be some subtle sh! ifts with the Plains ridge, but not a huge effect on sensible weather. A weak monsoonal flow continues in the West, especially the SW. We also have a trough supplying cool air for the NW. This trough should weaken considerably late in the period with signs the Plains ridge expands into the West.   As for the tropics, I still see a potential for "Barry" to form late this week in the Southern Gulf. The wave from this in the Caribbean looks healthier today. Rains from this will spread into the Southern half of Florida today. The hurricane models have been run on this system and one of the intensity indicators predict a minimal hurriczane by Friday. I caution that to be way overblown considering we dont have a storm as of yet. The environment should be more favorable once the system passes by Cuba tonight. Most of the models have a landfall of some type early next week in Southern Texas or Northern Mexico.  Tomorrow: Thursday, August  2, 2001   Syncrasy's Choice:  Delta Temp.

There is no other model support for this at this time and it is my opinion that those forecasts will bust in a big way. Now, having said that, there is some support for the ridge to shift West temporarily into the Rockies. That often results in a trough in the NE which is climatologically favored. I just think the magnitude of the MRF is way overdone. I am maintaining earlier forecasts of largely above normal temperatures East of the Rockies until further evidence indicates otherwise. At the same time, the West may start to share in the warmth, though the set up still does not favor heat getting to the coastal communities.
