At least my local nws office is more bullish on storms today for me. They almost speak in certainties that this time its gonna happen. Will be needed to cool us down

The 3k and Hrr looks pretty good, more so for your area. Looks like another disturbance moving through west to east. Should have some good CAPE to work with.

? Yeah that's horrible.
 
What's with these crazy high dews? It took a landfalling hurricane to get dews like these in the past.

All you need is a nice fetch of wind off the Gulf of Mexico for a few days and high temps. You don't need a tropical system. We are just a stones throw away from the sub-tropics. Very typical of summer, if you ask me. Happens every year. We have a nice Bermuda high setting up, lots of cape, 30% chance of afternoon thunderstorms every day...very, very typical. What we don't want is a ridge to center itself right over MS and drive dry air into our region for days... Your dry air is out west and you want it to stay out there. Come September, we will get some lower dew points as the troughs start to penetrate deeper into the southeast US. Until then, enjoy your swamp ass weather!

I think that is a bit erroneous as the reports all around are around 77 including this one.

That’s a satellite estimate is it not … weather channel doesn’t use any actual stations

The front made just enough progress to drop dewpoints in the far W/NW Triangle and the Triad into the mid 60s with a little downsloping flow.

Yeah dews dropped to 70 here. Those 5 degrees made a huge difference.

Above normal SSTs are keeping them a few degrees higher.

I think you meant a stone throws away from the tropics. We are all in the subtropics.
