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

So much for the storms falling apart before crossing NC/VA

Light show dropping south from Tennessee. I wonder how far south this will hold together?View attachment 197310
After all of the over performing events we have seen in the recent days, I wouldn’t be surprised if this made it all the way to Atlanta and even south of there some distance before it looses steam.
 
Lol nino aam. Will be interesting to see if this moves poleward and we get a blocky sept/oct

Honestly I would not be shocked to see at least a somewhat present STJ kicking into September, as we currently have a good thermal gradient in the Pacific that should remain if typhoons/storms can track over the current cool blobs ESE of Japan.
 
@SD new articles on Dolly and Edouard? Storms will be initiating advisories at 11am today!
 
And I'm right (the voice of doom)

The National Hurricane Center will initiate advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone One-C (formerly CP93), located about 1000 miles east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands at 5:00 AM HST (1500 UTC).
 
Both if you have them

I apologize if this is an absolute wall of GIFs lol; unsurprisingly, there isn't a great correlation here, especially with ensemble noise. There is definitely development of a troughing/LP system off of Alaska at the end of the run though—last run did this as well, but weaker. By that point, we've really cooled in the troposphere for changes to probably kick in faster; lower MSLP as well is shown off into the Central and Eastern Pacific, as the Seasonal suggested.

That might be the epitome of meh but the weak split flow signal out west is interesting
 
Ain't looking great for storms making int into NC today outside of the mountains.
 
There is no way it gets as hot as forecast in the coming days with this much soil moisture, if it does we would basically live on the coast of Iran.

Unfortunately it likely will. Even if we in GA do not verify >=100F, it'll still be hell as is the usual for mid-August's "last stand" of summer.

The good news, this should be our last major summer heatwave.
