Pattern Ablazing August

[cd2play]

Euro was slightly cooler at 850 and weaker with the 500mb trough this weekend. Probably nothing really noteworthy other than highs more like 96 instead of 98

Might be just enough to keep it from being a dog day.

This might end up being the hottest stretch of the summer

Hogtown has added what likely is a pretty hefty amount of rainfall from a severe thunderstorm. As a reminder, they had before today been only a little over an inch from moving into 2nd place of all time wettest summers on record back 100+ years.

It looks like Hogtown @pcbjr got 0.84” today to bring them over an amazing 32”! This makes the 2021 summer the 3rd wettest on record with still another week to go. They only need like 0.40” to go into 2nd, which would leave the incredible 2017 in first followed by 2021.

Looks fairly wet for other people who live in the SE as well .. not just slightly dry in a remote area in western NC

There's a remote area in Chatham Co that's dry as a bone. My little area NW of Pittsboro.

This period wouldn’t be good for drought conditions but it would feel a hell of a lot better around here

Not my pic, but from around here!

Other then the poor mid level lapse rates limiting things today, pretty solid environment for microbursts with large SBcape/dcape and dry air aloft

That’s nasty

Decent cap out there should hold storms off until ML cape is maxed out

The radar is beginning to bubble as we speak. Hopefully, we can get some decent organization within the next couple of hours.
