Pattern Ablazing August

[Tarheel1]

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!

Yeah definitely not this year. The humidity has been awful

Wow that looks pretty good

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

Yeah yeah , I’m just disheartened honestly . Seems any precip we get these days is just cold miserable rain . I miss thunderstorms .

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.
