There is a certain weenie who literally 3 or 4 days ago said no more shots at 100 this year who's been suspiciously absent this week.

Pattern Ablazing August

Would you be talking about the same weenie who thinks there are no dry areas in the Carolina's because his yard is waterlogged?
Hm don’t think this was me but I certainly didn’t believe an 100 day would come .. but then again we used to get strings of 100+ more often than recent .. if the dog days are just a dog DAY and for only RDU then I think we can handle that!
As I’ve always said western NC has struggled to get their danglies wet .. eastern NC is a bit waterlogged .. now central NC is taking a beating which has been noticeable we haven’t had a decent storm in a while I dont know who Thinks apex is a water capital but not as of recently. Luckily showers and thunderstorm look to be more prominent the next few days and should correct this

Its me and its mostly Wilsonville area (I consider it Apex) and I went through a heavy shower just a few days ago there.

I also wonder if those soil maps are lagging behind the drought, meaning its not showing how bad it is. I havent had rain at all and my soil cant be beat with a hammer.

Officially the high so far in Winston-Salem this summer has been 94 on three separate occasions. By my count, there has been a total (counting today) of 28 days of 90 or above which is just about normal for us.

Pretty incredible that there have been 28 days of 90 and no temps above 94.
I can't see where that map is very accurate. I've had 12 inches since June 1st which is close to average. But 4 inches came in a few hrs and just ran off. Hasn't rained in 9 days at all here and it shows me doing better than places like Concord where it rains every single day. I find that hard to believe. Only explanation is my soil holds moisture better than the soil farther east.

Yeah this week was an overperformer at RDU and only rdu
If the bright colors on the map are for dry soil then I can tell you that over Union County, NC is way off. Up until the last few days, most of the county has had fairly consistent rainfall at least every few days throughout the summer
It's the best real time higher res map I've found but it's not without its flaws.
Yeah I said the same thing. I didn’t think any of us would have anymore shots at 100 and I ended up being not to far off yesterday myself. My high was 98 which was the hottest of the summer.
KATL has reached 90F or above 21 times, with 95F being the highest just once.

It's been more about the humidity than temps this summer. Temps just above average but with very high dewpoints making things feel much hotter.
Already over 3500 joules of SBcape, looks like cape is edging to the higher side of guidance, along with solid mid level lapse rates and large Dcape, probably gonna be a handful of pulse-severe convection 
Did any other official stati9n in the area hit or exceed 100?

I dont remember what you said, but I do remember Shane throwing caution to claims of no 100's, and "but its seeming less and less likely"
Nope and it's kind of embarrassing they use that as an official temp for record keeping. Everybody and their brother knows it's suspect
While the 100 at RDU is sus, we do have our 4th heat advisory in a row today so August definitely ablazing.
Let's see how this gets screwed up.
Hi-Res models have put out hints of how I will be barely missed again, but we'll find out if they end up correct (probably will).

Looks like there was a 55 MPH wind gust at DFW.
I am seeing an awesome-looking shelf cloud right now.
Another day another middle finger from mother nature
Naturally, the deep red cores of course fell part just a few blocks before getting to my house.
But I guess beggars can't be choosers.
Did get some decent outflow winds and a solid heavy downpour though.

It has to be your location relative to the mountains nearby.
Some people just have plain ol' bad luck too.

Looks like it'll be much more active today than the last 2. Plenty of storms already with 8-10 more hours to go for them.
I don't know man. It has to be a reason. Not just bad luck. Storms love to fire right along 85 and move SE leaving me high and dry. But north of here along hwy 11 does well too. So who knows? I just want to reach average for once in a summer. I have about an inch and a half to go and about 2 weeks to do it. You'd think it'd be hard not to this week, but with the remnants of Fred continuing to move west I won't hold my breath. The setup is still good for rain and the flow out of the SE which helps this area so we'll see.
Yeah I saw a video of Brad P. This morning saying that it's going to be just like Northwest snow events this is going to be a week of south east flow storms so we'll see
Congrats Shetley. It's coming for Jonesville

Raining again in Wilsonville, and the Broadway area of Lee-Harnett getting hammered as usual. Meanwhile, SD and others such as myself get to see those cumulonimbus on our porches while we cry in the sun. #richgetricher
