Pattern August 2023 Thread

That would be a very strong cold front that comes through with that temperature gradient, especially for the summer months. I could only imagine the severe weather that might occur with it.
I can remember I was in Columbia, SC during the 2012 heat wave and that was broken by one of the most hellacious storms I’ve ever seen.
 
Suck factor high. Can’t think of anything more oppressive in CLT. 12:30am

Tomorrow looks much better than today ever did. I honestly didn’t know what they seeing to move that slight risk into NC today…the front looks like it’s coming in with almost perfect timing tomorrow to really fire things up I-77 corridor and east

But it's things like this that make people not take the real threats seriously. The SPC has been awful lately with their categorical outlooks.

Although the storm coverage will not be as expansive as last Tuesday, the parameters are there for some very strong storms to develop. This is starting to look more like what happened a week ago except that the brunt of the action will be further east towards the central parts of NC and Virginia. There will be more significant rainfall totals with these storms, especially in areas where training occurs.

There will be plenty of big wind in these storms....especially the ones that happen over the next 3-6 hrs during peak heating.....
