Pattern May-hem

As bad as this is, I'd still take these high 60's dewpoints in July/August as they're slightly lower than the prevalent 70-76 dewpoints of midsummer. Plus. there are very nice breezes, atypical of midsummer, making it more bearable. I took a walk Fri evening and it wasn't so bad thanks to the real nice breezes. I sweat but I wasn't soaking like I often am in summer.

Absolutely. The only consolation is that by July/August there has been some time to acclimate - seems like what - 3 weeks ago we were talking radiational cooling ... LOL :eek:
 
A good bit of Miss, N and S Alabama, the Fl panhandle and parts of NC and SC might do OK over the next week ---

Of course the Southeast right now is the home of the worst drought area in the nation. It is getting better though. Cool weather and rain would help!

Im not sure why but it seems like certain parts of the country are more prone to drought than others. It seems like the southern half of the country from CA to NC experiences drought more frequently than places like ME and MN. Im almost certain the SE experiences drought more than the NE.

I'm gonna give you a serious but very simple "answer" that is not by any means 100% ...
Take a globe and find Gainesville FL.
Go around the world at the same latitude.
You'll see that most of the world at that level is desert.
Do the same for say, Atlanta or Charlotte, and you'll get pretty much the same picture.

In other words, I think we're just at that point in space, place and geography where dry is the predominant norm, and we're lucky that for other reasons camels are not indigenous here.
Fortunately - here in the good ol' SE USofA we do get rain, and it'll come, and I'll betcha someone will be posting a "Who'll Stop The Rain" video soon!
In the meantime ... :D:D:D

Much of GA is down to less than .75 of rain total by day 7 on the 18z GFS and down to less than 1 inch total through day 16. Most of SC is not that much better. May is going to be drier than normal for sure over a good bit of the southeast. The drought is not going anywhere.

Lol! Ass a nine statement, as usual, with no back up! :(. I just got .47 by accident, the clown maps know squat about reality

Apocalypse warning - the stars are no longer visible, the wind is picking up, the air smells strangely wet, and there is light and noise in the sky ... OMG - is it that thing they call "rain"? ... :D
 
Had one of those quick bursts of rain earlier this afternoon with the sun out. Very quick, may have just been 5 mins.

Humid as heck after it, and I walked through it.
 
Central Alabama averages 4.37 inches of precip for the month of April . We crushed the over last month .

That tiny little spin (LOL) in the upper mid-west has a tad bit of trailing energy associated with it ...

Friday's new high here is 56. Models seem to support a cool weekend. Unfortunately, the 18Z says put up the boats and pull out the hoses because it isn't going to rain much soon.
