Looks to start off with more of the same July wetness to me.

After tomorrow the next ten days will be hot and humid with highs in the low and mid 90s and heat indices approaching 110 in many areas this coming weekend. It will be a typical Dog Days of Summer pattern provided that nothing tropical interferes.

FFC says we could be looking at a Heat Index approaching 110 over the next few days.

Temps in the 100's for Atlanta very soon. It's gonna get worse before it gets better
With it being so wet lately and soil moisture is high, we'll see how close to 100 we end up getting.

At least it will be fall in about a month (September 1st)
There is a reason Atlanta very rarely gets 100 degree temps, soil moisture and elevation. The elevation hasn’t changed, and soil moisture is up. You nailed it.
Average July highs so far:
Atlanta: 90.8
Athens: 92.7
Peachtree-Dekalb: 90.4
Atlanta: 90.8
Athens: 92.7
Peachtree-Dekalb: 90.4
I honestly don't feel great about this month. Have a feeling we have a nagging summer on our hands and this month is going to be a lot of 90s and humidity

At some point we lose the ridge in the west and the bermuda ridge becomes the main driver. That's not a mega hot pattern it's just meh

I don't think we see 100s here. High of only 98 in June and now sitting on 11.89" of rainfall. Hit 96 in July. Probably 95 is the best we can do.

I expect a hot, dry month and a month from now the ground will be bone dry.

Yeah I’m not too worried about the temps around here getting much above 92-93 but the humidity especially from all the rainfall (another big storm yesterday just to top it off) is going to make things nasty for a while

The weather pattern for the next ten days or so looks pretty typical for August in Central and Eastern North Carolina with highs in the nineties, humid conditions and chances for scattered thunderstorms every day. The tropics need to be kept monitored for potential development towards the weekend and early next week but otherwise the weather will be nothing out of the ordinary for early August.

No chance of a cold front here!
