Pattern August Rush

93 glorious degrees right now but surprisingly I see a few thunderstorms have popped this afternoon.

Yeah a little surprised as well but there is an axis of higher instability from rdu northward to around DC. Wouldn't be surprised to see a few more pop up and die off as the outflows move south.

Really starting to think Friday to Monday will bring some decent coverage and may leave a good part of the area with at least some rain. We may beat back highs as well and stick more in the 85-88 range those days.

Before they moved the sensor in 1998, Charlotte used to have the highest nighttime low temperatures in the region.

I had a reading 20 miles away, about 5pm of 88, and my two remotes were reading 79 and 81. It's happened all summer. I can't remember a wall to wall cool summer like this one starting with a cold April. No mosquitoes until June, very few days in the 90's and no where near 100. I've not had one uncomfortable night all summer and I use a window fan, so that's saying something, and I've been here since 81. Close to twenty inches of rain is what did it, I'm convinced, all things being equal. There were some terrible high humidity days, but it never seemed hot like I'm used to. Maybe a day or two...or three.
And now the spiders are talking again, lol. Everywhere I go around here I plow thru massive web runners. 10 to 20 foot spans since early Aug. The last two times they impressed me with their web making like this, it hit near 0, and they didn't start those until fall...but those suckers were a hundred feet, or more, draping everywhere you looked...way, way up in the trees, all the way down to the ground. If this blends into that, starting so early...well... All I'm saying is you better find you some alpaca undies folks, if the websters get to saying something, lol. T
 
Heads up Gulf coast, Florida, and the rest of the deep south. It's that time of the year again.

2 days into this pattern and I hate it. Rain chances this weekend have gone into the toilet and we are probably 2 weeks out from seeing any type of change to cooler or wetter.

I said this over the weekend, and I’m all Debbie Downer! Some people just can’t handle the truth!

If you had asked me even 2 days ago I was pretty set on the idea of this pattern starting to relax by 9/10 then a period of troughing and cooler shortly after. Now I'm beginning to think it'll be at least 9/15 before we see any breaking down and possibly the 9/20-25 period before any real troughs get into the east.

If we get to about Sept 15-20 and there is still no real sign of this pattern breaking down, I might start having visions the fall season we had 2 years ago.

Atleast we have some tropical activities to keep us busy, maybe!
