Just absolutely glorious weather today! Low humidity, warm but not hot! We are blessed

Late Summertime, and the living is easy in the Triad. High around 80, Northwest breezes, low dew points. 

Mild and rather nice period coming up, as average highs are about to dip below 85. 

So, the Triad did not have any official heatwaves in August 2019, although we had a string of three 89 degree days mid month. We’ve had five days in the 90s, the highest being a day at 95. The lowest has been 60. The coolest High was 70 on August 24. We are at .5 degrees above normal in temperatures, .2 above in precipitation. 

60 wonderful degrees in Winston-Salem

61 in Winston-Salem on an August afternoon! The North Carolina Wedge is an amazing thing!

Euro model has a 60% chance of tropical storm development off the Mid-Atlantic coast Sunday - Wednesday. Next name on the 2019 list is Dorian. https://t.co/lifAkSrHr8

What Triad is this you speak of?  My Triad has had plenty of 90s??

Obviously meant 95. But you knew that.

Today was the second hottest day of the year In the Triad, with a sultry High of 95. Take heart, 70s coming up this weekend!

The Triad has had one day in the 90s this week, three the entire month. Good to get half way through August without a heat wave.

Aren’t the Sandhills statistically the warmest part of NC, at least in summer. Annually, the southeast coastal area may be warmer.

While it’s not quite time to turn on the heat, there is no noteworthy heat in site. Mild to meh warmth ahead. 

Pattern over the next 10 days shows frequent troughs coming down from Canada...but unlike this spring, there won’t be much of a gradient south for widespread rainfall risks, more scattered with many staying drier. Shots of brief warmth in between otherwise cooler #agwx #natgas https://t.co/Az7yiVjroG

 Storm total so far near 64/55 in Apex is 5.29” and it’s still moderately raining 

Radar estimates 4”+ rain in southwestern Wake county. 

PTI Airport only got significant rain 3 days last month, but ended with 5.28”.

I’ll take it:
