The longtime trend toward higher SSTs, dewpoints, and morning lows is very likely global warming related. By the way, Alaska has been absolutely baking this summer at alltime records that are well above previous records!

I agree. With the rising SST'S and dewpoints I fully expect September to be just as hot as July, just like last year. Going to take longer to get any cool air going with the torch up north. I fully expect not to see 50s at night until mid October like last year.

Yeah, well, 1) they generally come with a sarcastic remark, 2) it's summer so what else is up, 3) they get nowhere near the dozens of silly snow maps that start showing up in November and 4) ... :eek:

Last year in south west Alabama where I am, we was in the 50s at night end of August. I think as you said, "not to see 50s at night until mid October " is as little extreme lol. We gonna see 50s at night by Setpember. We may take longer than expected to really cool down or not, but we can surely see 50s way before than.

We ended up getting to 99 on our home thermometer. And gawd, it was still awful outside when I went. It had to have been something like 88 with the heat index making it 95 anyway and the sun was almost down by then.

Hopefully it doesn't happen. But it happened last year in upstate SC. After Florence the humid air hung around until Michael passed in October. Then we finally got some 50s. I remember Brad P saying Sept was hotter than July last year in CLT.

Mack, cold biased forecast caused by eternally cold biased model consensus outside of the Euro operational of late. Now thanks to the switch to the FV3, even the GFS operational is now cold biased. The overdoing if troughing in the SE is neverending. This is going to be a fun winter.............NOT!!! :(:(

Oh, upstate SC I see why now LoL.
 
Holy Poop.... I just noticed .60 in the rain gauge from overnight! :)
If it stormed overnight I slept right through it. First appreciable rain in quite some time. :cool:
 
Getting a very strong thunderstorm here with torrential rains, strong winds, and frequent CTG lightning which has already caused power to blink. I unplugged some of my stuff as an extra precaution including things connected to surge protectors. This is easily the strongest storm here in several weeks. There will likely be street flooding shortly, if there isn’t already, in the prone spots.

Edit: worst storm of the summer now. CTG is awful. Street flooding ongoing.

For the fun of It. Here are the euro weekly temperature Meteograms for GSP thru late September. Other stations are about the same.

Ended up getting barely missed by the worst storm that was close to me. Did end up getting rain that made my walk tolerable though.

Saw some interesting towering thunderclouds out near the highway and even saw a flash of lightning. I should've had my phone and tried to take a picture of them.

Ended up with ~1.6”. There were ~500 CTG strikes within my county within an hour! The storm of the summer so far!
 
Heat begets heat.

FFC looks like they raised the forecast high into the mid-90s through Sunday. And the forecast highs are still probably too low for next week (89*F to 91*F)
 
Another.5” last night! ?
 
However, I can work around the android problem by posting the photo on Twitter:



This storm was awesome enough looking that it got me to pull over at the store on my way back home to snap a few photos. Tall thunderheads paired with it looking dark at the bottom of them. Like I said, the best looking shots were while I was driving though unfortunately.

Edit: Also, the cat is finally out of the bag. That is my real name.
 
At an outdoor concert at Walnut Creek in Raleigh and they stopped the show because of storms. Clouds look really ominous, but no thunder or lightning yet.
