Have you ever seen a forecast like this in Early August ? 5 straight days at or below 80 ?

What a start to our hottest month

Satellite's got that "melting ice cream" look over central nc and southern va that happens with CAD/moist ne flow onset. Can literally see the cooler surface air coming in

Sweet relief initiated.

Widespread 4-6” over the next week.

An east west band of scattered thunderstorms, some heavy, has popped up from W of my area to offshore. I started hearing thunder a little while ago and now it is raining at varying intensities.

Cut that by 75-90% north of I-20. A few places may get what this map has, but most will get less than .50 from Rome GA to Columbia SC and north.

Getting raked right now. Finally something to break this god awful heat wave.

20 degree mid summer swing here. Don’t remember too many of those over the years

Stout outflow. Dumping here

And just as I knew days ago this is missing this area. We will be in severe drought by next week. Anything that shows widespread rain is useless. Now we get 7-10 days plus of dry weather for everyone.

Needed it! Now we head into the misty rain cool down. Great start

1.65” of rain today. Not a bad start to August !

You can’t peg these rain events but if you’re on the immediate lee side of the mountains you can assume your chances are even more sparse. Take the wins when you can

This one was hyped up bigtime though just like a snowstorm would be. The mets on Facebook basically guaranteed everyone would get lots of rain out of this. Now some are trying to say next week will be wet. Next week will be bone dry for many of us right through and beyond next Friday. We need the tropics to wake up to change things up.
