Those storms I had right before the switch to Cooler weather last October were super electric, I still wish I had my camera then

Those were some great storms. Miss those days. I think we all just have to accept that the pattern has changed and get used this weather going forward. Apparently the NE, Mid-Atlantic is the place to be, at least this year. Hell, they've some wicked storms out west as well.

The end of August to the middle of October we’re brutal even in my area. From August 28th to October 12th my area had less then a quarter of an inch of rain. Alongside the crazy heat that was a really brutal time period.

Yeah, it was so dry. My grass literally turned brown. It was like walking on pine straw.

But the good part about that drought was that all the mosquitoes died out around my house.. It was pretty nice.
 
Yup. We had a lot of MCS's last year. Plus convection was a lot more widespread. Although, we paid for it when September rolled around. We went what... almost a full month with any rain and 95-degree heat well into October. Maybe this year will flipflop, we can only hope!
I think with la Nina's it cools down earlier
 
The gefs would surprise you around day 7-14, looks very favorable for severe with pretty elevated SCP, globals have been trying to sniff out MCVs/energy. problem is, 1 we’re stuck under a big ridge, number 2 there looks to be pretty good EML advection with steep mid level lapse rates, which looks to combine with subsidence from a ridge, this pattern is dependent on MCVs/pieces of energy, if you could get storms with the big thermodynamics under this ridge than damn, lol 2A699EDF-EFC6-4E6C-8B49-AE67D2520DAB.pngDAE4D954-6520-4B3A-9A36-58B982FB206B.png94F03F85-15B4-49C2-9E88-A4CEC25BFB53.png8703B090-6AD9-4D25-9FDB-BBDB72CA8FE4.png57BB5BD8-876B-44CB-B4DC-F622BBEFB30B.png
