Just made 90 for the day, should be 90+ tomorrow which will put me at the same # of 90s as August of last year.

I was hoping for an extended period of dry weather, but nope. The next 7 days look very wet !

I’m glad I’m not in Tokyo. They have brutal summers with tons of humidity.
No rain since 8/13 starting to see some dry stress signs along road sides and hills

Today should be the last 90+ at the official station nearby for the month, which if so, it'll mean only 9 days at 90 or above for the month compared to 18 last year.
And today definitely wasn't bad at all. No humidity helped.

Another spectacular August morning/ day unfolding. DP sitting @ 50ish is hard to beat in the summer months.
Early start to the driest 6-8 week stretch out of the year for us. Sept- early Nov, it's rare to catch any rain. Either takes tropics or if your lucky a rogue cold front can tap the gulf as it comes down from the NW and give you a .25-.50 line of T-storms. Those are few and far between usually.

I am not complaining about the temperatures, but its looking pretty boring for a few days here to end Aug. GFS & euro pretty different for weekend tho, euro spins up a weak coastal low off SC.
But pretty dire when maybe a rainy day for the SC midlands and coastal plain is your headline possibility

30th coolest August since 1948 at RDUI, might make the top 25 if it tries hard the next few days
Been a year of extremes really, was the 14th coldest January in the same time period, 5th hottest July, 2nd warmest April

81/46 at 5pm. I love it
Choose your fighter for Fridays rain in AL/GA. Euro says you need a boat south of Birmingham, GFS barely gets the pavement wet
Of course, I planned on being in the boat on Friday...

Looks like in between the two. This shows close to 1” south of Birmingham.
This at 10pm in August is crazy.

I really need to be on a Golf course today and not at work. Just impossible to beat this wx for this time of year.
In our storied history of continual wx disappointment and Fail Boats on here, I have no clue what we did to deserve this.

Greensboro will end up with 24 of the 31 days of August Below Normal. Currently sitting at -3.3 BN for the month.
We had to survive the terrible month of July.
Yoooooo
Well, looks like Hartsfield only got down to 60, so not sure we will break any records officially
Peachtree-Dekalb is at 55 though!! That’s wild

52.3 here in August, feels great out
New record low of 56 here in Birmingham this morning. Even have had some high 40s north of here in pockets. Welcomed sight!
Good catch! BAM inadvertently did an apples to oranges. Hartsfield’s Aug coolest is as BAM said 55 (1992 and 1986). But 60 is still impressive with the last time it got this cool on Aug 27th there being way back in 1966.
Unfortunately, I can’t find PDK records. But they’re of course cooler than ATL for lows on most days.

Just a hair chilly for August up on the mountain 
I think I saw 54 on my truck in Hollins, Clay county this morning.
I just researched this further. This is the source for the “monthly record low”:
Link:
According to it, PDK (not ATL), which coolwx also calls “Atlanta”, did actually have an unofficial monthly record low with its 55 as that broke its monthly record low of 55.4 (2004). But their PDK records go back only 44 years (1981 or 1982).
To compare, KATL had a 56 on 8/14/2004. So, the KPDK 55 in August of 2004 does jibe well with the KATL official 56 then.

56 here! GSM is picking up speed. August will be September, advance every month forward one. You will get an extra January this season. Buckle up!
Just barely got to the upper 50s in town today. Some SWNC valleys got to the 40s despite valley fog/cloud development!

53 this morning

Thank you!!! As always your research and knowledge is an asset to Georgia peeps!
50.5. Almost made it into the 40s.
I'm not sure much of you remember this, but this was August 2004, the month before the September with many tropical systems.
This was the coolest weather in August that I know of here at the time.
Dallas, GA
Followed by much of this. I believe the one that made the loop was Ivan.
