Well despite all the talk last weekend about upcoming troughiness, the next 8 days look to be brutal. Here's to hoping that's the last of the really big heat. Average will feel good after this ( upper 80s over low to mid 90s).

My forecast calling for all lower 90s over the next 7 days, would be the first of the month for me. Going above average- the wrong direction.

Per NOAA the daily averages are as follows: (Threw in GSP as a middle ground - actually surprised GSP isn't closer to Gboro norms.) July 31st August 31st September 30th October 31st Greensboro 88/70 86/66 75/55 66/44 GSP 90/70 87/67 78/56 69/46 CAE 92/72 89/69 81/59 72/47 New Bern 89/72 86/69 79/60 71/48 CHS 91/73 88/71 81/63 74/52 Actually I realized you meant sandhills of NC so I added New Bern. Still, not as much variablity as I thought it would be . Edit #2 - ok added CHS too.

Well forecast for my area over the next two weeks don't show any signs of cooler, in fact they show warmer, to around 90 every day. Usually see this first notch of a cooldown second half or last week of August. This is the time of year I get really restless for fall, even though theres still a few weeks to go.

Are we about to have a July 2016 repeat?

NWS now showing 97 in the forecast for GSP next week, triple digits for CAE - ouch!

Laugh out loud. In my experience, they'd be brown by the time you got them home anyway.

Yeah we'll see about the rain. I'm in the 7-10 inch band on one run I saw; hope I dont get that much. With snow, I'm kinda in that western upstate snow hole, oconee and pickens counties that get skipped a lot due to down slope drying and coastal transfers; BUT, I'm just far enough east to usually get something. Last year I got three inches (of mostly sleet) from the December storm, and that was it for the whole season. Got two snows the year before but only 2-3 inches each.

It is indeed amazing how different the weather can be in different parts of the state. I guess you guys have been in a rain drought AND a snow drought! Well we suck at snow too, but have at least seen a little.

Lol, I love neither and I hate the heat! But the fact is I had around 100 inches of rain over the past 18 months so having three weeks of dry weather has been a very welcome break for me. Now I hated the hot weather, but it was almost worth it to have some time without constant rain. It's funny, I feel like some people want several inches of rain every day or their not happy... BTW, what is your location? I understand the lower part of the state has been much drier this year than my area.

I've really enjoyed the dry weather the past three weeks or so; a MUCH needed break for my area. Now I guess it's back to endless rain? We need a happy medium!

Valid for Nov 2019!? Huh

Hard to believe the heat we are looking at for May this weekend! GSP has not hit 90 yet but will do so easily on Friday if not before. GSP has not been higher than 96 since July 25th 2016, but could well surpass that ere the month is out! Not looking forward to this AT ALL! I remember one year back in the mid 90s when a May heat wave reached the mid 90s and ended up being the hottest weather all summer. Would be nice if that happened again here, but something tells me this is gonna be another 2016, 2012, 1993 type of summer.

Accuweather gets you out to August 12th , gives me an 87 that day.

Boy, REALLY hope TWC is overdoing this heat for late next week, mid 90s gonna be torture!

Pretty crazy, 28.5 here, and that following one of the wettest years on record.

I swear you live on a different planet.

Haven't checked weather in a few days but WOW, looks awesome early next week. Some 40s coming for mid May, I'll take it every time.

Thank goodness for accuweather; summer of 2003 incoming.

Looking summer like the rest of the week. Low 90s for CAE!

Well not seeing much good news on the horizon. One day of a wedge on Saturday and then it looks to be an early summer type pattern for the forseeable future with temps around 82/60 for the upstate, or about 10-15 degrees above average! Would love to have a longer cooler spring, maybe keep some 70s/50s for a few weeks but not in the cards. Oh well, at least Accuweather doesn't have me hitting 90 until June 21st!

Welp; heat, humidity, weeds, skeeters already EVERYWHERE in my neighborhood at least, pollen, allergies, bees, bugs, already mowed my front twice and dandelions everywhere, back yard looks like a jungle of twisted weeds and onion patches, Argentine Ants in the house; I'm already sick of it! I wish I could just repeat October through March weather every year and never have April through September weather!

Typical Oconee, Pickens County skip job incoming... I'd be interested if I was in Sptbg to Clt, but here....

We know better; not even a Lloyd Christmas chance here.
