The signal for late August into September has been pretty strong. Looks like another go around of over-the-top warmth too. Some of the anomalies well into Canada are quite impressive. Prior to this though there does seem to be a window of potential for some increased precipitation chances here (and for the drought crowd that doesn't mean everyone is seeing rain), but once we get back into the hotter/more humid pattern, looks like we'll re-establish a westerly-to-northwesterly flow aloft which is not very good for widespread rain chances here. What we really need is a deep SW flot through the column.
