Pattern Another Angry August: Broiled, Baked, and Bone-Dry

Is this a bit confusing? Anyone’s else in the Piedmont seeing rain but zero from the and Upstate / Charlotte point/ click?

Even though dews are still in the low 70s keeping it humid (thus keeping me sweating when the wind isn’t blowing), the steady NE winds along with overcast and only 81F near got me to take my first outside walk since early June I think. What’s interesting is that the winds off the 86F/30C ocean are not cooling winds. Right now they’re th opposite!
 
I almost got tickets for this one. Let me know how it goes! Looks like a big time
Ended up playing one inning before they postponed the game until today. Got out just before the rush of people but still didn't get back to Boone until 1am. And man, US421 between Bristol and Mountain City is a crazy road. Especially with the rain and fog. They call it "The Snake" for good reason. So my oldest son went back today and saw the Braves win the game 4 to 2.
 
It looks like the 18z GFS took a small step towards the other models and now shows some rain as far east as Charlotte. The 12z Euro did not back off at all and still shows 2-3 inches of rain for all of upstate SC. The Euro also has all of upstate SC in 4-6 inches of rain at 150 and shows good rain all the wat to Raleigh.
 
64.9 here for a low so far. And with tropical systems in play maybe it stays unusually cool for a while? Like after td Alberto. Super hot summer before, nice and cool, relatively speaking, on into fall, after.
The winter after Alberto sucked if I recall. The winter of 94-95.
 
This may be banter but what is the process of thread names? Lately, the thread names are not matching reality. This summer, the heat hasn’t been excessive nor has it been bone dry - at least for Atlanta.
 
We’re getting pretty heavy rains at 1AM from an area moving only slowly NW. Hopefully, the heavy doesn’t last too long.

Edit: It’s not yet letting up here at 1:33AM. And this was released at 1AM, a repeat of Saturday:
