Pattern Another Angry August: Broiled, Baked, and Bone-Dry

NWS GSP AM update: pretty much nailed it: “As of 125 AM EDT Wednesday: Starting off the forecast period in a
soupy mess of showers and gross humidity”

Another record we have too be setting, but no data/ metric to compare. Is sunlight in August. I can't ever remember so many days with 0 sunshine . They have what's called cooling degree days, but not sure what that's all about. Believe it's tied to solar insulation. If you are dependent on pure solar, you have had some challenges, most likely this month at times.

CDD is how much a day’s mean between max and min is over 65 F. Example: if max 90 and min 70 that averages 80 or 15 CDD.

Why do you continually post these outlandish maps? We've all been on these boards for a hundred years, and like, it's cool to see every once in a while...or in the context of a long range forecast analysis or something.

But to just carpet bomb the place with maps of the CFS at 600 hours isn't serious. The tropical, storm, and pattern threads are supposed to be serious threads. I know it's slow, but let's at least try and keep things in the realm of plausible. Plllllease.
