Gotta say it feels hotter today in Birmingham than it did yesterday. To me yesterday felt like a average summer day. Reached 97/98 degrees. But I dont think the humidity was as bad yesterday as is today. Also these super hot days remind me of working on a corn field in south central Alabama when I was younger. Something about those corn fields and more humidity.

Tobacco fields have the same affect , corns horrible though it breeds the most massive mosquitos flies and wasps/ hornets I had ever seen.
 
My low ended up dropping to 78 this morning which is the warmest one I’ve had since the 80 I had in August 2007. However I’ve only recovered to 84 so far even though I’ve had full sunshine all morning. The dewpoint is still 78 so I gotta think there’s just too much humidity to make a serious run at 100. In fact GSP has already the forecast high from 98 to 95 and they seem to think my spot is a good zone for storms later so we’ll see.

89/76 here rn after a low of 78 as well. Very impressive low . 100 would be nice but realistically I don’t think it gets higher than 96.

Yeah, normally with a low of 78 I would feel confident in at least making a run at 100, but with this humidity and the wind out of the SW, I could see my high busting low today and not even reaching the mid 90s.

NW you say ? Uh oh we making a run at 100? 94 at 1 is already pretty hot , 97-98 seems possible now .

I'm sure there are stats to prove me wrong but right off the top of my head I remember most 100+ days at RDU being 95+ at noon so we might fall just short into the 97-98 range especially with the cu field growing.

Check out what happened when my wind switched to west

Yea, next week is dead to me. Back to waiting for September frontal passages or something tropical.

Although after this week, frontal passage might not be enough. These clay soils are so dry, anything that comes is just running off. Might be in need a few CADs to fix these soils.

Yeah it's certainly looking more like an east of 95 event now next week for the huge totals. With the US1 to 95 corridor doing OK at at least keeping any dry conditions away

What mechanism is providing the rain? Sorry, I haven't followed to see what system/pattern is driving it.

Perturbations within the longwave trough, interacting with a stalled frontal zone.

It's raining here right now.
 
Hit a high of 97 at my house today.

I topped out at 94 which was 4 degrees below last night’s forecast. I never imagined that I could see a low of 78, have full sunshine all day and not at least make a run at 100. The dewpoint never really mixed down much heat. It started at 77 and is now at 72
