A Gorgeous Run for the Northeast and California's Untouchable Streak
Y'all, after a chaotic weekend of severe weather and flooding in the central states, we have a massive area of high pressure delivering an absolutely gorgeous Monday to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. If you are sitting in upstate New York or New England today, you are experiencing the best weather in the country right now.
We are seeing top-tier Beautiful category ratings centered over cities like Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Manchester. Highs are sitting comfortably in the 70s to low 80s, and dewpoints have dropped into the refreshing 50s. The only thing keeping these areas from achieving a flawless Perfect score is the sun itself. With virtually zero cloud cover, the UV index is hovering around 7.6. You will definitely want to pack the sunscreen if you are heading out for a hike or catching an afternoon patio lunch.
This pristine airmass holds its ground through Tuesday, keeping northern New England and upstate New York in the Beautiful category. It also provides a fantastic window for folks attending the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, where Tuesday scores a solid Nice rating with highs right around 80 degrees and a gentle breeze.

The Pacific Northwest Takes the Baton
By Wednesday, the core of the best weather shifts to the West Coast.
The Weather Prediction Center notes that an upper-level ridge is building over the eastern Pacific, and that is going to push a wave of incredibly comfortable, dry air into Oregon and northern California. Places like Eugene, Medford, and Roseburg are looking at Beautiful conditions by midweek. Highs will average near 74 degrees with crisp morning lows in the 40s. It is exactly the kind of weather where you open all the windows to let the fresh morning air inside before the afternoon warms up.
Southern California's Untouchable Streak
Meanwhile, we have to talk about the consistency in Southern California. It is almost unbelievable. Cities like Lancaster, Palmdale, and Azusa just hit a 29-day streak of Nice weather. With the FIFA World Cup U.S. opening match coming up in Inglewood this Friday, soccer fans and travelers are going to be treated to some incredibly reliable, comfortable weather.
Unfortunately, the central Plains and Midwest are stuck waiting their turn. A persistent trough is parked over the middle of the country, driving elevated winds and scattered severe thunderstorm threats. If you are in places like Chicago or Kansas City, the weather is capped at Fair or Decent for the next few days due to those storm risks. We will keep an eye on the broader pattern to see when that sticky, stormy air finally clears out.
