    KCHA is definitely going to blow past 100 today. 99 already. We had a great run of nearly 5 years with no triple digit heat, but it has come in somewhat of an abundance this summer.

    We had horrible flooding in this corner of the state and throughout northern GA in September 2009. I think I ended that month with over 17" of rain and I don't think there was a single tropical system involved. Looks like we topped out at 97 at KCHA yesterday. Today's official forecast is for 100. At no point did the heat index exceed the air temp yesterday. It actually didn't feel too horrible. Just hot, not sticky.

    Barely scratched the 50's here yesterday at 59.5. The high was 81.5. Still felt nice, but that August sun is hot on the skin even if the air temps are low.

    I started watering again today. Thing's haven't dried out completely, but I'm trying my best to stay ahead of it. These next few days of slightly cooler weather could be fantastic for the grass if I can keep it happy with some water. EDIT: I should not have done this. An outer rain band has formed and it is raining sideways. Looks like it could train for a while too. . .

    9.60" since 7/19. It's quite soggy.

    Rained pretty hard all night last night. Now I’m up to 7.70”. This is one of the more shocking summertime pattern changes I can ever remember.

    Last Friday morning saw the driest ground conditions I can remember for quite some time around here. Since then, I've had 5.70" of rain and now I have mushrooms in the front yard. Talk about a big swing.

    Not a single drop again today. 80% yesterday, 70% today and nothing. It's been a long time since I've seen a forecast bust that badly two days in a row. At least it isn't hot anymore. Only mid 80's under cloud cover.

    I'll be honest, it was 101 Satuday and 100 yesterday officially, but it really didn't feel that bad. Humidity was quite low. Last July's 97 air 81 dew was WAY worse.

    When I was growing up March was always the wettest month of the year here. It was the only one where we averaged more than 6" of precip. I think when the climate averages were recalculated in 2010, it shifted to July being the wettest month. If you have a severe drought in what should be the wettest time of the year, it's very hard to not have that drought linger for months and months afterwards. Tropical systems may be our only shot at avoiding a 2016-esque fall.

    Made it from 59 to 97 here yesterday. I think the airport has a decent shot at 100 this afternoon. My grass is toast. I was out of town last week and it didn't get any water. It's bermuda and it's already torched and mostly dormant. EDIT: It's official. 100 at KCHA this afternoon.

    I strongly suspect that we will see a confirmed weak tornado in southern Hamilton, Bradley and Polk counties from the squall line this AM. It developed a wicked inflow notch right after it crossed I-75. There is a line of heavier tree damage extending from about my place in Apison all the way to the Cherokee National Forest.

    HTX radar is pretty terrifying. Gonna be a long night here. The air has “the feel”.

    Pretty fascinating that coastal CA has had more warnings than OHX.
