July Surprise!

Why is the new GFS model continued to be used for temperatures when it isn't even on the same planet as verification? Or is this thing considered trash at all levels. It is always to cold during the winter, and way to warm in the summer. It has shown that KATL would be above 97-100 just about every day, it never happens.
This is what the GFS showed one week ago Saturday 7/25
Low:
High:
What actually occurred:
The low was off by a mere 10 degrees, and the high 7 degrees. I just can't understand how this is acceptable day after day.

2.3" yesterday
Guess that is summer for you. Go for a while with almost nothing and then rake in almost 5" in a week.

Interesting, lower heights and energy sliding through so severe would make sense this weekend 
I’ve been wondering the same thing. What could possibly be the error in this model that would cause a bias to extremes based on the season. How many times this past winter was it showing temps 15-20 degrees below normal and now in the summer it’s wanting to always show triple digits a week or so out.
That sounds about right. I am moving on Saturday, so BET on it!
I know one thing, Tulip Poplar trees love rain, and I guess that is why they grow like weeds here, and one of the greatest trees on the east coast IMO.

Good grief. It's 90 with a dp of 86 in the town of Washington, IA with a heat index of 121 !
Gotta start somewhere ?

It's comforting knowing that pretty much everyone except maybe Brent has reached their hottest avg temps of the year.
After averaging around 7" each month through June, this has been the norm in July.... localized flash drought
That sucks
Uh that screams boundary riding setup with a MCS or supercells 
And just like that womp womp womp
Yeah I've noticed a downward trend, the tide has definitely turned imby....as mentioned around 7" a month prior months and now just 1.33 for July with all but .16 of that falling the first week. Heck .54 July 1, remove that and less than an inch during the hottest stretch of the year.
Just started pouring rain out of nowhere
Talk about luck 
Nice loud thunder now and still pouring
