This spring and headed into summer seems to be going a lot like 1989. That was a wet and relatively cool summer over much of the southeast. June was really wet and July was wet too, but not as wet as June. August was the "driest" month that summer, but still at or slightly above normal. Anyone 40 or over should remember how that summer ended though, with a cat 4 hurricane into SC.
For winter lovers, the following winter featured a very cold Dec followed by a warm Jan-March. Feb and March were very wet in the southeast along with a good bit of severe weather. Christmas week 1989 featured a major winter storm that stayed within 75 miles of the gulf and Atlantic coasts, giving parts of eastern NC and SC up to near 20 inches of snow, while the ATL area up through GSP and on to Raleigh got little if anything. This system gave much of northern FLA a major taste of winter precip too.
