Pattern Ablazing August

[NorthDFWwx]

Heat advisory has been issued for DFW tomorrow and Tuesday.

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.

Even here in DFW, we're -3.3*F below normal for August to-date.

This should help the western part of the state with rain while hopefully not making things as bad East

I have driven from Joshua Tree NP to Valley of Fire State Park, which is located to the northeast of Las Vegas. Drove across the Mojave Desert. That was an experience. Car thermometer hit 114 going through there. Blown away by Valley of Fire State Park. It was “ablazing” there as the pic below shows. (And no … I am not how certain how accurate the car thermometer is, but it is hot!) With breeze feels like opening the oven door. Again, no humidity to speak of. Very “cool” experience … forgive the pun!

Looks like this week (especially into later this week) we get some of the highest cape values of the summer

If only we can get a forcing mechanism to go with it.

Looks like if nothing else the moisture envelope from the tropical system makes its way into the region over the weekend should be decent storm coverage Friday through Monday

No I want a Cat 5. Ideally , we get this tropical storm , it dumps a ton of rain , then in 2 weeks we get a major hurricane that dumps a ton of rain with nasty wind , that’s followed by another tropical storm that stalls out over us with a cold front and dumps record rainfall again. Just imagine . Half the state would not exist anymore .

I’m a weenie ok , don’t pretend you haven’t fantasized about the destruction a record cold wave with 100 inches of snow would bring.

Nah thankfully I've gotten to see 2 once in a lifetime events with Fran and Jan 00. I can just remember those
