Low 50s and I’m sure some 40s in the mountains tonight … damn get the jackets out … in JULY. ??
You are on a weather forum, you could at least check the forecast first because it sure don’t got any low 50s here . Heck the guy from Boone told you he barely had low 50s forecast. Forecast low is low 60s . Come on brother get a grip !

Didnt realize low 60s were low 50s and low 50s in the mountains were actually the same as low 40s. I feel enlightened .
I said low 50s and even some 40s and then continued to show you live temperatures where there was low 50s and upper 40s showing up .. I never said low 40s .. but keep grasping at your lizard licking straws. Quick bird man is calling you he needs his cuddle buddy

You edited the original post which implies low 50s here as well. Nice try , really snake thing to do .
 
55 this morning.. This is by far the most comfortable 4th of July parade I've ever seen.

I went for a run this morning at 6:30 and I had to wear a stupid shirt.

If we can sneak in a early autumn trough at the end of August I could get sub 60 lows every month this year.
 
Well normally I would say the GFS is on crack to be showing that in the middle of July, but this year it just seems to be following the pattern

This could very well be a summer where the Western Ridge stands its ground and we end up in this stormy/rainy pattern. I mean maybe we will eventually bake for a little bit in August/September but I really don't see anything that points to an extended heatwave for our areas.

I mean there is some truth to the saying that if a trough or ridge holds it’s ground for a while it’s hard to get rid of that pattern.. constant sinking air and warmth only encourages more sinking and more heat and vise versa … I’m sure we will get rid of the pattern by December though ?
 
This summer reminds me of the 2013 summer
There really are some similarities. Like this year we were coming out of a LaNina and going into an extended neutral ENSO. The predominant pattern during the summer was a western ridge with small heat releases breaking off between eastern troughs. Here in CLT metro we never had more than couple days at a time of 95+ degree heat, and we stayed very active with thunderstorms all summer.

The last week of June and the 1st half of July that year was extremely wet. The pattern changed at that point but it did not go to a dry and hot pattern. The pattern change came with a slow moving northeast to southwest moving MCS which got going in northern NC and ended up into western and southern GA. I think we spent at least 10 straight days here under a flood or flash flood watch. I can not think of another period of time like it.

Then if you remember, we had an awesome fall that year. The pattern stayed active as the STJ began to pick up, but there were some periods of perfect autumn weather… cool to chilly nights and mild days

Yep and then the winter of 2014. 2 cold snaps, the paralyzing snow for Birmingham and Atlanta, and the big ice and snowstorm that hit much of the southeast. That 1st cold snap brought the coldest high temps here since back in the 80's. The summer of 2014 was not bad at all either.

Hopefully with neutral ENSO we will be setting the stage for something similar. Despite actually finishing a degree above average, that was a truly great winter for my area… the last one that I saw double digit snowfall and February 2014 is the last time I had a 4 inch+ storm. Looking back, the key was how early the cold air began building up in the source region… Yukon Territory, Alaska, and back into Siberia. Those regions are having a summer very similar to 2013 as well.
 
I was doordashing at dinner and was like wow it's not hot. Now the other week when it was near 100 yeah I was done lol

People here are saying they don't remember a 4th with weather this nice
 
Played a round of golf at 3:00 in the afternoon, full sun on July 3rd, didn't break a sweat. What a day!
But did you break a hundred??
 
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this intense of a precip event, at long range!!! This is GFS for next Saturday! Holy buckets, as they say up here!??B771D681-7731-4579-9A3B-ABA718D2D1BA.pngBEC81831-8A5F-47B7-A86C-2B654234D3F0.png
