This week is going to be brutal for sure. It is painful to see so many 90's F in the forecast this early ugh.

And no sign of a breakdown in this pattern for the next 2 weeks.  It's one thing to experience summer onset drought after planting and growing season but during planrting and growing season is disastrous.  Feel for the farmers in my area...

It’ll break down Memorial Day weekend. Like clockwork, always does!!

One I’ve only had to mow my yard once so that’s cool at least

I keep seeing references to summer 1977 being similar to this. Is that true? What happened that year?

Rain shields holding strong through the end of the month

Some signs of a pattern change, but I fear this will just keep getting kicked back

My fear as well. Originally looked like it would break down this week. That certainly did not come to fruition as this weekends cold front will be dry

None of yall are going to see rain the rest of the month. Good luck with the scorpions.

I was in between 6-7 grades.  Didn’t bother to go back and look at records but I do remember the family’s annual Myrtle Beach trip first week of June.  Everyone was commenting on how unusual it was to be in the 90s.  Don’t remember much about the rest of the summer except a lot of Boston, Frampton, Marshall Tucker, and Jimmy Buffet.
