Pattern August is the worst month of the year and it's not even close thread

[Brent]

Not much else to say at this point. We're probably gonna make a run for 27

 

[Rain Cold]

I look for the rest of this month to be a lot like 2007. The drought maps will be getting a lot more colorful again. All the way to D4 for some of us.

Probably D7 when it's all said and done. Thos El Nino is a real dud

That month was truly historic and the hottest month ever at GSP by a long shot. It looks to be pretty crappy the next two weeks but it won't hold August 2007's jock strap. The first 10 days of this month were not even in the same universe.

BTW; that month set the GSP records for most 100 degree days ever in one month, most ever for one year, the most ever consecutive days of 100 degrees, and the all time highest temp ever recorded at that time.

I gotta say that I agree in the short term. It will get better as we evolve into September/October though.

Euro hasn't met a long range where it didn't go over 100. All time heat wave on the 0z run with 3 days near 110 here.

 

[Brent]

The fact there are people here who actually wanted this weather blows my mind

Yesterday was the all time record from 1936 at 115 degrees even. Amazingly it still hasn't been topped

Picked up a solid .25" of stratiform showers for a few hours yesterday. That was nice and will at least give us some green grass locally for the next week or so.

 

[NoSnowATL]

As Dewy Dan would say…. Summer isn’t over until Sept 22nd. We still have a few weeks of death.

 

[NBAcentel]

Powder keg environment today. If a MCS makes a run towards NC early enough then will probably rack up damaging wind reports

I hate this summer. Thanks

Thanks, I hate summer. Two 12hr+ outages, one downburst, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Aww Fall! Leaves should be just about off the trees by then, get the rakes ready

That ridge of high pressure sitting over the Southeast is the perfect recipe for a potentially record breaking heat wave next week. That's a stout high pressure dome and if the EURO is to be believed are far as high temperatures, we should add to the list of 100 degree days during 2026.

is it me or has the NWS really been missing the rain chances everyday

Yeah I was just thinking wow this is a busy radar for a 30% day lol. To their credit, feels like the HRRR has been horrible recently

----- about ready to get real in NC. Duke just put this out.
A storm system moving across the region is bringing damaging winds and heavy rain, causing widespread outages. Our crews are ready to respond as soon as conditions safely allow. Please stay safe and avoid any downed power lines. We appreciate your patience.

 

[BufordWX]

Sure feels like it. I’ve have had 20%-30% rain chances the last few days and there have been some pretty noisy storms around my area each day. Although short range models certainly havent been helping since they haven’t been showing much activity. So far this month have had some measure of rain 8 out of 11 days where im at.

Euro cut highs about 15 degrees, big sad. If we are going to drought again I want unrelenting heat to go with it

My stomach is in knots seeing what storms are going to hit us. Expect 70mph wind gusts and power outages if they do!

WPC still all in on the NW flow rain shadow.
