    I was in Fairbanks to the 5th July - was that the end of summer? ;-)

    Hi Terry,

    No, not the end of summer, though the mid-atmosphere pattern is evolving over the next week into a classic late summer pattern with a big high aloft over the North Pacific. This is often (not always) the set-up for deep southwest flow over the Interior and attendant low clouds, rain, etc.
