Pattern Ablazing August

It looks like Gainesville, FL, got hit with still another thunderstorm a little while ago, which may get them to near 33” for summer to date and in 2nd place for wettest summer on record back to late 1800s. Awaiting the actual rainfall data! @pcbjr is excited I’m sure. He loves all of this rain. ;)
 
Just need this bad boy to back build.

I'd really like to see a graph of average weekly dewpoints over the last 20 summers from May 1 to September 31. I'll bet it would show higher average values over the last few years.

Yeah we have certainly transition from the climo pattern that was a trough in the east to one that is more ridged/moist

Oh we know. It's the same reason they don't make doo dads anymore, why my cat farts when you pick her up, and why Indiana Jones 4 sucked so bad. It just messes up everything nowadays.

Instead of upper 60s dews we get low 70s and the coast upper 70s. Brutal when it's 95 out.

Bulletin: 2nd place reached for wettest summer in over 125 years with 0.39" as of 5 PM bringing Hogtown to 32.72" for summer. The swamps and mosquitos are winning! @pcbjr and other residents losing.

They've already gotten 47.62" in 2021. That is just under the average amount for an entire year!

Asking this because I can’t look at the models now myself… does the Euro have this thing getting infused with jet stream energy or a cold front after it’s on land? This showing it still at 998mb after being on land for 3 days.

It eats up some energy flying on the northeastern side of the ridge, honestly not far from something bigger here 3C93D25A-2F05-4AB9-8482-23A6F24233FC.gif

Looking good. As an average for the area they are probably spot on but at least a few places will do ok with the front and 99l moisture next week but some of us will likely be near 0. Think we might do a little better days 10-20 but it's like chasing snow in January right now
 
SD said:
Looking good. To be honest models are probably too dry for us with the potential for some moisture to be pulled in from the envelope associated with 99L but as a whole we are not in a great spot through at least D10

Yeah basically what's happened most of the summer, just enough moisture pulled in from tropical remnants to keep us average

I changed my post a little but I agree. This upcoming period of 95+ is going to take a big toll on soil moisture. Thankfully for ag interests most crops are ready for harvest except maybe some late soybeans.

Oh yeah totally agree with that last part, in fact I almost added that once we get deep into September let it drought lol

Yeah I agree. The only real negative about dry/drought late in the season is turf grass. Most are starting to store energy in the roots now for next springs green up so stressing it now might yield a slower weaker green up in 2022 but you can offset that with water/fert
