Somehow ended up getting bailed out of another hot day today up here. I think we had a weak cold front just barely eek it’s way past here and save us from the heat. Had a forecasted high of 101 last night, but the highest today in Norman has only been 91 so far. Definitely looking forward to the bigger cold front next week. I think we both may have some good storm chances from it too.

You’ve got “dewpoint” in your name. You’re the dewpoint guru, the dewpoint maven. When you talk dewpoints, people listen. So, you should know the answer as much as anyone. ;)
If I have any dewpoint related questions, I know whom to ask, thanks to you being here!

In all seriousness, much lower dewpoints are coming! Check out Mack’s great Sept thread to get the early scoop!

This has been the most humid summer I can ever remember.

As I'm sure you'll agree, summers are pretty steadily getting worse due to GW/warmer SSTs and this will likely only get worse until the globe cools. At least in winter there's enough variability to occasionally get a cold winter. In summer when there isn't much "imported" air, about the only hope for a cooler than normal summer in the SE has been a very wet summer and then those often end up having more bugs.

I just looked at RDU. Since 2005, they have had only 2 summers cooler than the 1981-2010 normal: 2013 and 2014. Guess what. They were the wettest summers since 2005 with 18.5-19.5" of rainfall vs the longterm average of only 13".

Scotty says few showers possible. I’m guessing he didn’t even look at the model data tonight into tomorrow morning
 
Yikes. Moderate Risk out and meso discussion out for Surry County NC area. For flooding today. Tornadoes east of blue ridge.
 
Got a feeling that today is gonna be my first solid storm day here In Oklahoma. SPC actually has us under a hatched area for significant hail and the HRRR has me at ground zero for storm development. I got classes right around when the storms may form, but I will try my best to catch some pictures of these storms. Gonna be a fun day!09A8077B-5CA2-425C-AF83-38FAA1D9EBE6.gifF1D7DEBB-E489-4BC7-9DC8-100A3B975B30.png

SPC putting me in a 2% tornado risk now. Lol. Regardless, the hail threat looks really legit today. There could be some big hail around here.
