If you use 500mbar visualizations, you can visualize the "reverse" weather pattern from last summer, with the wonky jet stream, high pressure baking the Pacific Northwest, and cool weather in the midwest and on the East Coast: https://earth.nullschool.net/#2015/07/03/1800Z/wind/isobaric/500hPa/orthographic=-122.01,47.50,651 https://earth.nullschool.net/#2015/07/03/1800Z/wind/isobaric... Another example from July 2014: https://earth.nullschool.net/#2014/07/14/1500Z/wind/isobaric/500hPa/orthographic=-122.01,47.50,651 https://earth.nullschool.net/#2014/07/14/1500Z/wind/isobaric... Conversely, you can see how the "heat dome" of this summer smothered almost the entirety of the contiguous United States, except for the West Coast in general and the Pacific Northwest in particular: https://earth.nullschool.net/#2016/07/22/1500Z/wind/isobaric/500hPa/orthographic=-132.88,45.66,651 https://earth.nullschool.net/#2016/07/22/1500Z/wind/isobaric...
