Pattern August '22

Virginia racking up on storms. Just saw one blowing up headed NE. Someone drops a match in the neighborhood, watch out. Fescue has gone back full blown dormant. No match for low 90s, espeacilly without rain.

Yeah Va has been getting hammered, lots of radar estimates of 3-5"
 
Outside of a couple days late next week, blistering heat as far as the eye can see on the 0z GFS, as the ridge dominates over the entire southern US. 6z is much different in that it moves to and keeps general troughing in the east. Bone dry outside of TN through 300 hrs, though. Hard to bet on that solution and go against the persistent ridge. If I were forecasting, I'd go with a 3 day break before returning back to big ridging and heat. Looking forward to late September.

Yep, it shows an extratropical storm off our coast that helps pull down dewpoint in the 40s and 50s nearly down to Florida. Would be nice, but we'll see if it shows up in future runs.

Obviously there's still August to get through, but for Dallas, the May-June-July 2022 period was the hottest on record, tying with 1998.
I've just done the math and DFW has had 13.14" rain this year, not a lot.
 
I feel ya, I got a trace (Summerfield) but literally heard thunder for 5 straight hours
Been like that all summer here. I've been under 5 severe thunderstorm warnings over a 10 day stretch, featuring probably 15 hours of thunder, and I picked up a whopping .12" of rain.

To be fair, fall stuff was in stores in June lol.
 
If you live in NC I wouldn’t be expecting any type of good rainfall for the next 3 or so days like the past few days. Maybe close to the mountains have better odds but other than that we need better forcing you get things more organized for more people. If you happen to get a thundershower you’re one of the lucky ones!
 
Had a split. But got another to wet things pretty good for about an hour. Like most everyone else, we need days and days of this to balance everything back out. These 90 degree plus days, day after day show no mercy to anything AG related.
 
Looks like the desert has come back here for now. Storms getting close by, but missing me the last few days.
