Pattern April Oven

Not sure, with this drought, why the burn ban was lifted. Haven't had a drop of rain in weeks and as soon as it was lifted, idiot neighbor is cutting down trees by the water (which is illegal alone without Dominion's ok), and burning them. Moron.

Prob bc humidity is higher now with front getting closer.
 
Total rainfall at CHA since September 1st has been 19.02 inches, or 60% of normal. This is only the 6th time CHA has gone sub 20 inches for September-March rainfall since 1879. What's troubling is, the prior 5 instances averaged 65% of normal rainfall for April-June. Climo strongly suggests this drought is here to stay unfortunately, with a better chance of normal to above normal rainfall by July and August.
 
I just hope this miserable heat cant last. Im hoping early spring heat means a cooler than normal summer.
I'm afraid it does not. We are getting a repeat of 1986. 1988, 2002, or 2012 I'm afraid. Maybe by August or September things change. Of these 4 years, 1986 and 2002 are the most likely ones for this summer to be like.

Also, with an El Nino the tropics will not be very active either.
 
You would think if El Nino is coming like everyone is saying it would be increasingly wet

That's what a lot of people out here are saying... This week has been kind of a preview of things to come probably... Because we had been dry for months too. Still are we need a lot more rain

You may indeed do better out there, but the Carolinas and GA will probably have to wait until August or September for a major change. That's what 1986 and 2002 brought in this area. In 1986 the pattern broke in very late July and in 2002 it broke in September. If it turns out like 1988 though, most of the country will be very dry for a long time to come. We had to wait until March 1989 for a real pattern change here. It's still possible it could turn out like 1993 though and it would turn very wet in much of the plains and upper midwest while the southeast would be dry until Feb or March of next year. I'm thinking it'll be like 1986 or 2002 though.
 
We missed all of the heavy, pre-frontal convection yesterday and last night. Just some light rain moving through this morning. Probably not enough to wash off the pollen. Poop.
 
1.11” since yesterday afternoon. 16.28” YTD but the last quarter of 2025 was so dry it’s still a little drought like but nowhere like some of yall.
 
Just a paltry 0.18" of rain here. Enough to wash some pollen away, but won't make a dent in drought. The rain fell with temps at 70ºF too, gross. If it's gonna rain I want it with below normal temps
