The record streak of consecutive 90+ degree days is going to top 50. We hit 100 again today, breaking a 130 year old record.

Today is our record 39th consecutive 90+ degree day. I think the normal amount per year is 47. We are at 73. Really sick of this.

KCHA has been outdoing KMEM on heat indexes this week. That's rare. And very unwelcome.

We nearly had a repeat of the August 2025 flash flood last night. It hit Ringgold and Catoosa county instead. 6" of rain in less than 3 hours.

What's the criteria for an extreme heat warning? Seems like 112 should qualify, but we aren't under one:

Got over 2" from a very vivid storm last night. Lots of trees down this morning.

Interesting point forecast for Friday.

Fun fact: as of yesterday afternoon I have recorded more rain in the first 5 days of August than I did in the entire month of July.

Ended July with 2.83” of rain. Average is nearly 6”. Started August off on the right foot with a spectacular thunderstorm this evening. 1.7” in the gauge.

It finally rained IMBY today. 1.25" is the most I've recorded in a day since 5/6. Monthly total for July is still only about 40% of normal. I think I might be the only person in the state with worsening drought conditions.

I did everything I could to summon the rain yesterday. I washed my car, put the sprinklers out on the lawn, even sprayed some herbicides. Got missed again.

I'm getting really sick of watching it rain in a circle all around me. I actually just lost power for a while due to lightning, but the rain dome is intact. Not a single drop of rain. Looking at my records, it hasn't rained an inch in a single event here since 5/24.

Just can't seem to get the storms around my area for some reason. There have been storms around daily for a couple of weeks now, but I've really had very little rain. And WAY less thunder than a normal July. This should be the wettest month of the year here. Even today we are stuck under the anvil of the large storm cluster over northern Atlanta. It's stabilizing us without giving us any rain.

Total miss today. 90% pops too.

Mostly misses down here. My 3 day total sits at 0.71", but it came in 4-5 different brief showers. Good for the grass, not so great for ponds and streams which are all VERY low. Looks like coverage will be better down here today and tomorrow.
