Pattern August Rush 2020

It is 66 degrees here right now with a dewpoint of 62. It feels great outside.... first time below 70 since July 9.
 
Not much on radar but it is raining a bit harder than I expected this morning. Must be under the radar beam.

Welp, I think we can pretty much say that we should be able to enter Fall without any sort of drought. We have had so much rainfall over the last 2 weeks. I know October is generally one of our driest months, but with the upcoming forecast looks more promising for more rainfall. I have never seen the grass/tree's this green in a long time. And with how active the tropics are expected to get, I can imagine that at some point someone on this board is going to get hit with a tropical system at some point.

Still only 72°. I don't really need to mow, but I am anyways.

I need to, but the yard is soaked from yesterday's rain, so there isn't any need in trying. I'll probably have to wait until the evening later on this week when it's 85 and the dew point is in the 70s.
 
October flash drought of 20** would like to have a word with you
 
Is there anyone on here thats gonna finish below average in rainfall other than me? Smh GSP averages 13.5 for summer and I think most across the south would be similar averages. I'm at 9.4 now. Not a chance I get 4 inches ( without a tropical system) in two weeks to finish average. Not horrible amounts, but definitely disappointing being below average in an overall wet summer for most.

So tomorrow is looking dry and if it doesn't rain that breaks my streak at 12 days in a row with some rain.

Watch those storms later tomorrow afternoon

Yeah I see them but I'm going with all good things have to end at some point. Any storms tomorrow will be extra icing on the cake.

We had a heck of a run the last 2 weeks.

Que GaWx. Sounds like LaNina is inbound for the winter. Are we looking at weak,mod,strong?

Gorgeous day today. Hardly ever get to say that in August. Hard to beleive august is half over. Only 2 more weeks till Met Fall begins.

Leaning toward weak to low end moderate La Niña as of now. Indeed, met autumn will be here soon. That’s one of my two favorite seasons since it is cooling and drying along with pretty leaves as a bonus.

Looks wet and humid through the end of the month.. good news is no major heat wave for the Tennessee Valley(sorry Death Valley, enjoy your toast temps):

Will we pay for a subdued rest of August in Sept? Not according to CFS... but the Dec-Feb maps look disgusting for cold winter lovers, so don't look past Sept: 1597643717414.png
 
Storms look robust this afternoon from Jimmy to Fro, on future radar, starting around 3-4
 
Another marginal risk day. Liking the way this week is shaping up. Should be active for a lot of us!

0Z GFS an 6Z GFS had snow in the Canadian Rockies at the end of the run. Encouraging signs! Days are getting shorter...Fall is on the way.

Yep, that's what I like to see. The first signs of fall usually start in SW Canada by late August. Then that cool air continues to build and then work southeastward over time.
 
WPC already coloring Raleigh to Wilkes to upstate SC for flooding in a few days. Time to clean those ditches and debris
 
Actually a marginal risk for severe Today too models show large hail threat Greensboro area to Charlotte

Thunderstorm I’m going indoors folks watch out s/e hell is coming
