One thing that makes it so difficult to even distribute summer rain here in the east is the inability to have nighttime MCC events. Over the Plains, you can easily put down 1-2" over a large area with one of those systems, but we so rarely get EMLs here that MCCs can't survive the trip east.

Clearly this will be one of the, if not the most powerful El Niño events on record. I was never debating that, but all I meant earlier is that it's fair to wonder if some of these marine heat waves that are a consequence of a rapidly warming planet are providing stronger competition around the hemisphere with even the strongest of ENSO events. It seems clear to me that they are. It's not a matter of "El Niño isn't well enough coupled or strong enough"; there is simply a lot more heat distributed throughout the Pacific basin, regardless of what ENSO does.

Do you see what's happening over Northern Harnette co? That's insane! BTW...still raining here lightly to moderate at times

August will deliver

My humidity at 10pm is 59% and that’s been over 10 days since under60% at 10.

That’s awesome y’all needed it bad! Not near as much up here but still a very respectable 0.88” which brings the MTD to 5.60”

High of 90 today. Dews have crept up into the low 70s this evening.

Congrats!

Only .20 today so far, but combined with yesterday I’m at 3.84in for the weekend! When these storms set up and train, they mean business!

Starting to get interested in this up in Maine on vacation. Being in the woods at a cabin surrounded by huge trees. Easy to lose power at this location.

Today's Highs: PHL: 88 New Brnswck: 86 TEB: 85 LGA: 85 EWR: 84 BLM: 84 NYC: 84 TTN: 84 JFK: 83 ISP: 83 ACY: 82

Still pouring...over 2 inches...finally!!¡!!

Back from Seattle, though mother nature made us late getting back to RDU due to the weather. IT was gorgeous there with bright sunshine and high temps in the mid 70s during the day and mid 50s at night. Every morning i wanted to get up and enjoy the refreshing air. Had some rain while I was gone and as soon as I got into the shuttle bus this evening the skies opened up at RDU. Dumping rain. What a gift to come home too. The lawn looks a nice color of green now. I truly despise summers here though

111 in Billings, MT is insane. They just had snow in Montana 2 weeks ago! Do you guys notice this see-saw happening more times that not, although France is just exceeding and exceeding their records, not wavering back and forth between warm and cold there.

^ 6000dm is extending all the way to just south of Canada. That has to be some kind of record. Jul-Aug correlation to ENSO. Forgive me for including August but these are the 2 hottest months of the year.

Ok...I can verify insane rain in southern wake. Co....this is incredible+ Well over an inch!

Looks like in and around Asheville are getting hit hard

How often does something like this happen in the NW US in July during a strong El Niño? I assume hardly ever. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Feel lucky to only be getting 95 here lol.

Has not rained this hard IMBY for a very long time
