It doesn’t look like much of any measurable precip the next 10-14 days

I’m happy we ended up with some rain. It looked for a little while (to me) we were going to get screwed and not in the fun way lol

Weather is just sexier now to show on the news because we are able to catch raw and captivating video like never before. Everyone has a smart phone and can send it to a news network. I will say that when the national news shows clips of severe weather as a headline, you'd think the weather has gone wild, but to me it looks like what summer weather brings lol. But to Jane and John Doe it might not. But that's just how it is. Footage of severe weather captivates people.

This will be a good experiment coming up on how much increased soil moisture will have on next weeks heatwave vs the recent that maxed out in the 104° to 106° range. The current 850mb temperature forecast from the Euro and GEM is 25C. Made it to around 24C last week. I hope we can avoid the first time that a 104°-106° high temperature range repeated during the same summer. But who knows with this new much warmer climate. This isn’t the kind of new climate precedent that you want to set.

We are at 88/82 right now.

Hope we can get more rain this week.

Not a good idea for vegetable gardens

Since we are very likely going to be in uncharted territory by early November with the warm pool pushed all the way to 140W (along with a record-breaking super El Niño in place for that matter), we aren’t going to know how the atmosphere reacts to that massive change in the global heat budget and the realignment of the ENSO Hadley Cell….where does it put the main forcing/standing wave convection? How far east does it go? We are going to have to wait and see what happens at that point in time….

The pattern of hot as hell then gray cooler skies seems to be the definition of this summer. Being able to have my blinds opened back up from the heat is nice though.

Even in Raleigh the dewpoints are extra bad today.

....sorry but I'm not smart enough to answer your question...

Agree about the softening, also for folks playing the blame game if they are inconvenienced in any way. However, the bolded seems counterintuitive. at least from a practical standpoint. Those out in the wx would seem to be more affected than those sitting in their LRs poking their cellphones. Wonder if we’ll all go 10 straight days with no rain ? That arrives today; most recent precip was 0.16" on June 28. The temps running 5° AN during that period exacerbates the drying.

A New Orleans special

What do dumb people that you referring to on here do ?

This is as much about the high dewpoints (in or near upper 70s) as it is about the heat, itself (mid to upper 90s): EXTREME HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM THIS MORNING TO 7 PM EDT THIS EVENING* WHAT...Dangerously hot conditions with heat index values 112 to 116possible.* WHERE...Coastal southeast Georgia and southeast South Carolina.* WHEN...From 11 AM this morning to 7 PM EDT this evening.* IMPACTS...Heat related illnesses increase significantly duringextreme heat and high humidity events.Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out ofthe sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.

Smart people use rain barrels to collect water for their gardens..

1.09 of much needed rain in methuen

Yeah hopefully that breaks for them today.

incredible things are happening in china

Uh- oh. He has not left anyone in the region. He got wet , but it only delayed him. He’s amassing troops for another run across lawns and gardens

I really hope we can time an EML plume with the front next week but not looking particularly favorable right now...but we are a bit far out.

I saw this posted online and it was presented as real but I didn't verify it. I don't doubt it however and I believe this is along the lines of what @vortex95 is talking about with regard to hype. Consider if this bar chart went all the way to zero and those gaps between numbers remained the same - it would challenge the Burj Khalifa!

Would think so. Aligns with what I saw and that is a serious swath of two day non-tropical rainfall for July! You cannot ask for more in the areas that got it but man SE Wake just cannot get lucky that's some forcefield type stuff going on down there

What folks? Srn CT got 4”+. Most others were near your amount. PYM county got 3-4” too.
