Take it while you can, could be dry post storm though I feel it’s just starting.
East of 1-77 in NC will not get a drought soon, but Alabama, Mississippi, much of Georgia, and western SC will be hit hard by drought. Expect D3-D4 in many of those areas by Sept 1.I don't think we'll have to worry about a drought for a while.
Dude. We just got more than a foot of rain in a couple weeks. We could bake until October and still be fine water wise.East of 1-77 in NC will not get a drought soon, but Alabama, Mississippi, much of Georgia, and western SC will be hit hard by drought.

Not according to the drought monitor. It has moderate drought over a good bit of north GA and Alabama with a small area of severe drought in Tennessee.Dude. We just got more than a foot of rain in a couple weeks. We could bake until October and still be fine water wise.
I don't really care what it shows. I know the ground truth which is we are good and my creek has more water in it than ever in the summer.Not according to the drought monitor. It has moderate drought over a good bit of north GA and Alabama with a small area of severe drought in Tennessee.
Many areas of North and Central Alabama received 10” or more rainfall in July. We are good for awhile.East of 1-77 in NC will not get a drought soon, but Alabama, Mississippi, much of Georgia, and western SC will be hit hard by drought. Expect D3-D4 in many of those areas by Sept 1.
Is this the same GFS that says Debby will go to Alabama ?If the GFS is right this Sunday will be VERY nice in much of NC, SC, and parts of GA. Upper 70's to low and mid 80's and dewpoints anywhere from 48-59.
It's pouring its poured around 530 this morning. If you had told me in mid June the next 60 days would be like this I would have laughed until I died
Starting to think the same phenomenon that's causing our warm winters makes us abnormally wet all year as well. I bet we stay above normal precip this summer. Could be wrong though.
Drought will be the big story for many of us now. Much of the southeast may very well not see rain again this month.
It also says we bake again after this storm with maybe the hottest temps we have had so far.
Edit: The regular Euro has us baking, the AI Euro is not as hot, but both look dry after Debby.
Shetley, I have to ask. Why do you post so many of these drought and heat apocalyptic posts when they NEVER come close to verifying? Every year it's the same posts and they are so out there it's silly. I truly do think you're a great member and post some good and insightful stuff but your heat and drought posts make no sense. Where does this come from?East of 1-77 in NC will not get a drought soon, but Alabama, Mississippi, much of Georgia, and western SC will be hit hard by drought.

I complained so many times to KFFC about KATL's sensor the past few years, it was almost harassment. This year it has been far better. Temperature swings of four degrees in five minutes late in the afternoon is not acceptable for any professional weather station.https://www.wral.com/story/degrees-...hind-temperatures-taking-off-at-rdu/21521863/
I'm not certain if I should post this link here but this is an interesting story about the KRDU temperature sensor controversy and its higher readings than surrounding stations during the heat wave earlier this summer.
I think technically Tulsa’s average high peaked on July 31 at 94.7 and tomorrow it will be down to 94.4. The average high went from 94.7 on 7-31 to 94.6 on 8-01.Our average high starts to drop tomorrow...
It’s 95 degrees here and you telling me the heat comes back on Friday ?Heat is coming back as soon as Friday for many of us. Look for heat advisories to be coming back soon.
Too bad you will be near 100 again on Tuesday.For August 10th that's nearly the coolest highs we've ever had on Saturday. I haven't found many days cooler even later in the month View attachment 149748

Rain chances are gone until third week in August it appears. We will be orange again by then.I’m in yellow in NW Georgia, and unfortunately my area hasn’t received a single drop of rain from Debbie or anything else since then. Feels like when the next map comes out, there will be a vast sea of white, with one tiny square of orange centered right over my house. lol.
Suns out here it's warmDon't think I have ever seen a 100 heat index with overcast skies and a temp of 84....
