Haha no no, I wasn't singling you out R2B. I think there is a broad consensus among novices (and even some experts) that the pattern
has to change because we are somehow "due". Remember all those TV forecasts last week that proclaimed how nice this week would be?
The problem with patterns is that, by definition, they are hard to break and it usually takes a significant hemispheric event to do so. That's just not in the cards for the next couple of weeks. In fact (not to sound the alarm bells!) the 500mb pattern through early July looks awfully similar to early August of last year (-NAO/-AO).

I really hope this doesn't verify- our dock is already underwater and the last thing we need is more rain and cool temps. I'm with you though- 80s and dry is about as good as it gets. I just don't think we're going to see a lot of that over the next couple weeks.
