Looks dry, yes, but no one is “setting the woods on fire” so to speakAs wet as it has been this summer the drought wasn't completely wiped out and looking ahead, this area could begin to expand (especially if the GFS is anywhere close to correct)

The ridge in the eastI give up.... what am I missing?
It's there, it's always there.... that's why we can't see it, it's like that nagging headache that will never go away, eventually you forget you have itThe ridge in the east

Looks about right! The subsidence from the tropical entity over the gulf, will be awesome! I told y’all it’s been dry for some!As wet as it has been this summer the drought wasn't completely wiped out and looking ahead, this area could begin to expand (especially if the GFS is anywhere close to correct)
I wouldn’t start up the fire pit in my back yard, I’m sure of that!Looks dry, yes, but no one is “setting the woods on fire” so to speak
I hope so. If we get to the Sept 15-20 and we're still in relentless 90s, I'm not going to be very thrilled.At least the aam will bottom out around 9/5 so we may see the ridge peak in intensity next weekend then begin to break down as we move into mid September.

I see that you're back
Maybe we need the 90-95 weather to last into early October like it did in 1986 if you want a nice winter. Most of September and the 1st week of October that year were hot and dry, but then the pattern broke big time and the rest of that fall was cool and wet. The winter of 1986-87 was great, especially the closer to the mountains you were. Not so good from Columbia to Raleigh, but anyone from around Hickory back into the mountains would love it. The NC mountains even had a monster snowstorm in April 1987.
I wonder if that means October will be like August?Looking at forecasts I've seen for the 1st 2 weeks of Sep for the US as a whole, it looks to be very close to the 30 year mean for hottest two weeks of the year in late July! So, late July is approaching! Get your water or lemonade ready!
This ridge over New England and southern Canada would have likely departed later next week, but supertyphoon Jebi is going to help reestablish this ridge in week to and into week 3, so there isn't any legitimate heat relief in sight just yet. Tbh, it's really worrisome to have that feature persist this long in the heart of the hurricane season, it's usually a pattern that favors hurricane landfalls on the US coast. Hopefully we can turn this around before a TC in the MDR takes advantage of it.
Looks like a horrible winter elsewhere though.Definitely wasn't a bad winter in Raleigh, with about 10-13" of snow & sleet on the season, obviously there was a huge drop off between Greensboro and the Triangle... 5-8" of sleet in mid Feb 1987 oof.
