But based on past very strong El Ninos, the firehose of ST moisture for much of the SE doesn’t usually fully turn on until Nov or after the main part of the ATL tropical season is over.

If that's the case, fire danger will be extreme this fall until the wetter pattern sets in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 .33” last night and not gonna complain a bit. I truly wasn’t expecting it and at least that amount was easy to soak in. I hope more of us can cash in today. We have a huge wildcard lining up in the forecast with tropical development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 3 straight days of 100°+ and two straight days eclipsing 103°. Eastern NC gets the deserved pit of hell recognition but when the foothills cook with the downsloping, we absolutely boil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
