Pattern Ablazing August

Be ause of last night's rain we have now surpassed the previous record year to date and now 2021 is officially wettest ever to this point. We have expanded on our 15 inch surplus. What a 3 month stretch for rain here.

On top of that places in south central Pitt Co are 10"+ ahead of the airport.....someone buried a rain magnet there......if we do get a TS rem or direct hit 2021 stands a good chance of being wettest ever....
 
Well so far this first week of August has been about as pleasant as one could hope for - 80s (and even a couple days of 70s) for highs, low to mid 60 for lows, with tolerable dews. NOT looking forward to the heat this next week, BUT the following week looks very doable. After that, we're talking about the last third of the month, and true sustained heat waves get much lees likely getting into Sept (obviously 2019 was the exception). For those of us the love the cooler weather, we're only 3 weeks from met Fall! ?

Had a decent storm with thunder and lightning around 4am. .41 in the bucket so far I don't feel particularly enthusiastic about the rest of the day

What could go wrong here! 945BF2CD-760D-4AA0-9129-EC2B736E74F3.png
 
I’m gonna lose my damn mind it’s another disgusting below average April day. Surrounded by warmer temps but instead I get crappy clouds . Imma make a sacrifice to the gods when the pattern flips and torches us here . La Niña coming on possible , second year of it , yeah man let’s get it . Hoping a giant cold front stalls west of the mountains and we torch . I need some sun :(

Wow what a shock . The area that’s hotter gets storms . Who would have thought upper 80s would yield storms over 70 degree stratus . Enjoy .

Yes, you can easily get surface based convection with higher temperatures, you can also get thunderstorms with lower temperatures that aren’t surface based but form off a area of warmer air aloft , which was sort of the setup last night (areas east of me saw lightning and thunder). It’s not all about sfc heating sometimes

It's 83° and raining here in Charleston. It feels great
 
Out west on a trip. Today at Joshua Tree NP … staying the night at Twenty Nine Palms, CA.

Just pulled into hotel and the temp is legit. Ablazing here. But it is a dry heat … but still dang hot! Feels like a furnace… not sure how @Webberweather53 tolerates it. Love no humidity.

If ablazing August means ablazed in rainfall, we're getting it nicely today with a heavy thunderstorm as a band goes through. We already have some of the typical street flooding. Before this, we were already near 1.5" in August to date. We're easily over 2" MTD now. About 9" last month. No drought worries at all here.
