The Weather Channel Actual High Temperatures
Highest temperatures again occur at 8:00 PM.
The elevation of temperatures from yesterday was significant.
There is minor turbulence in the eastern Pacific, but, no major hurricane regardless of the incredible heat existing in close proximity to the storms.

The only continuing turbulence is Tropical Storm Dalila with 35 knots per hour. It is more than a Tropical Depression, but, this is due to lack of surface water vapor. With that level of heat in the troposphere there should be significant storms in the Atlantic and Pacific. It just ain't happening.

...The most recent example (click here) occurred in mid-June when some towns in Alaska hit record highs. McGrath, Alaska, recorded an all-time high of 94 degrees on June 17. A few weeks earlier, the same spot was 15 degrees, the coldest recorded for so late in the year....
Okay, these temperatures and heat distribution has less to do with the Jet Stream and more to do with heat. I been debating myself to actually go into this discussion, but, maybe.
Let me check air pressures first. Okay. These are fairly low barometric pressures. One of the characteristics predicted to accompany the Climate Crisis is a drop in air pressure. The reason for that is fairly straight forward; the higher the temperature the bigger the 'bubble/inflated balloon" and the lower the pressure.
There is currently nothing dangerous about these lower pressures, but, it is a symptom of a very ill planet. This is nothing to dismiss. This is a strong indication the troposphere is changing. Below is a child's experiment. In this experiment the bottle with the balloon on it experiences an increase in 'air volume' due to the increased heat of the air due to warm water. The child and her mother call it 'heat rising' and that is true, however, the real dynamic at work is an increase in air 'volume' due to heating of the air. If one was to measure the pressure throughout the bottle and balloon it would be identical throughout, so there is no rising so much as expansion.
Imagine now the balloon of air surrounding Earth. Raise the temperature of the entire balloon of air and what happens. The air expands, however, the molecules in that air does not change. There is no way winds of any kind, especially one such as the Jet Stream that travels around the entire planet that is going to remain stable and predictable in an expanded air mass. As a matter of fact I would expect the Jet to meander a lot as Earth heats.
What has been at work for nearly a decade. No. More than a decade actually. October, 4, 2002 there were two massive vortices that manifested; one in the north Atlantic and one in north Pacific. The significance of that is they aided in distributing heat for this long. They are very powerful storms and override the Jet Stream. So, the arrival of the 'hot' Jet into Alaska should not be a surprise to anyone, for several reasons.
But, the vortices bring with them low pressures. It is the nature of the beast. With a chronic vortex, called the Arctic Oscillation by most climatologists, existing over Alaska there has been a tipping point that are creating a more homogenized tropospheric distribution of heat. This is the early signs of it. I would expect when scientists measure the ice loss this year in September it will be significant.
This is the Climate Crisis. Lower barometric pressures were always predicted. At this point it is interesting there is still a Jet Stream, because, when examining the sluggish nature of the global air mass movement, no one would it.
