The market is higher this morning, but we do not see a fundamental change triggering this move. Both weather models are showing slight more heat in the 6-10 day range vs yesterday’s 12z run. The additional heat is in the Pacific and Mountain regions, whiles other gas regions are close to flat or even cooler.
Below is the view of the current forecast vs the 10Y normal. Surprisingly the South Central is cooler than the 10Y normal and Midwest/East are only above in the 11-15 day period.
According to Maxar, here is how June is expected to finish off. There is now strong correlation between June and July weather, but current forecast show the West getting above now heat as observed in June.
