You are a hard one to figure out. Every now and then you make some good thoughtful posts but the rain fixation is hard to understand. You live in SC, which is in the SE. Outside the PNW, this is the rainiest area of the country. Even in the driest years on record, the area gets 30 plus inches of rain, and most years we get 40, 50, or even 60+.
Per "best places" https://www.bestplaces.net/climate/city/sc/jonesville , Jonesville averages 47 in per year.
Per time and date https://www.bestplaces.net/climate/city/sc/jonesville you average 52.56 inches per year.
Per weather world https://www.weatherworld.com/climate-averages/sc/jonesville.html its 53.6.
If any of us were to drive over to Jonesville; I gurantee we would see something that looks a lot more like this
than this...
I’m in Estes Park, CO and it’s going to be hotter here today than RDU.

That would be terrible if the game is rained outIn Bristol Tenn. for the Braves Reds game. Rain delay.
Looks like a break here soon in the rain at the track but another cell may be there in 30-45. Wonder if they’ll start our just wait
Get it going as soon as you can. Salvage attendance and viewership if they play tonight even delayed. Also, no guarantees that cell survives.
Side note, I love CAD. Even when it fails us. 68/66 right now

I don’t see any 90s in the forecast for Atlanta through August 16.
Highs in the mid 60s all day and dews in the mid 60s all day. With heavy drizzle. What great weekend weather.
Man. A familiar site of a wet Bristol, I’ve been to more than one rain delayed race there
I almost got tickets for this one. Let me know how it goes! Looks like a big time

Braves and NASCAR, with the way the Braves season is going with there being no fun for anyone and NASCAR dealing with delays apparently (not that I'm a NASCAR fan), no surprise that there's a long delay.
Strider was scratched to boot as well, and it'll likely be a pen game that the Braves will for sure lose (I'm guessing they play it).
The shots of the field were pretty nice.
61.7
59 it's glorious outside.

Today started off below 70, somehow, the A/C still flipped on though in spite of it.
May actually feel cool outside later today, it was still warm yesterday, but the NE breezes cooled it off.

I see neither the GFS nor the Euro are backing off their solutions. My money is on the GFS. I guarantee it'll verify

The 6z GFS is back to basically dry for 10 days for most of the Carolinas.
As long as the gfs keeps developing that tropical system in the wake of 95l its going to be the drier model. It's a hard scenario to believe but anything is possible i suppose

73 at 10:22am in CHS. Crazy cool for this time of the year without any rain or anything else. Think yesterday got to 83 but that wasn’t until like 5 or 6pm. And if it rains today it might stay in the 70s all day

The wedge is wedging
Atlanta will likely not get out of the 60s tomorrow. To put that in perspective, the average low on August 4 is 71.7. The lowest daily high for the date is 75 in 1966. We should smash that.
The temperatures feel great outside today. This reminds me of growing up in the 1970s when it was not uncommon to get weather like this after a cold front came through in August. This would be great weather for a camping trip.

The 12z GFS is still dry over most of the Carolinas over the next few days. The other models will most likely join it today.
