Pattern August 2023 Thread

Ugh wake me when summer is over. It is August though most years don't even have a break like we had this weekScreenshot_2023-08-11-15-57-12-23_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpg
 
Yeah it's been like this everyday in Texas basically and will continue. Not one day below 100 showing up in a lot of places there
I hate when I look at my forecast and there is no end in sight to the heat. It's always such a relief to at least see a brief period of relief.
 
I think Ft. Lauderdale will definitely end up with triple digit rainfall this year. The STJ is only going to get more active as we go through the rest of the year as the El Niño continues to take hold.

There's always an uptick in flooding rains during El Nino years due to the combination of the STJ and increase tropical activity. However, we have never had an SST Anomaly Configuration that is currently present in the East Pac and Tropical Atlantic. I feel pretty confident that we'll see a historically preposterous rainfall event in the deep south on the scale of the April Single-day Flooding in Fort Lauderdale.

hopefully nothing like the flooding we had in Georgia in September 2009 !

Yes. You had a red hot GOM in an El Nino Year, and there was only one storm in the Gulf in August. The next one came in November. It's the same scenario I had in mind. "Prolonged rains resulting from a nearly stationary frontal boundary during September 16–22, 2009, caused severe flooding in northern Georgia." https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2010/1230/pdf/ofr2010-1230.pdf
