This will be DC's first wetter than normal month in a while.

Dry for some, wet for most. I've had so much rain since the 4th of July that I have had to mow every 5 or 6 days, and every time I need to scrap grass from my lawnmower deck.

Same here. I think the I95 folks haven't been as lucky, or unlucky, depending on whether you like to mow grass <which I do not!>

Looks like we start warming up around the 1st of Sept. The 1st half of the month could have a pretty big +anomaly.

Yup. Both the Euro and GFS, heck even the GEFS, try to pop a 594dm ridge from Tennessee to North Carolina next week. The upside of this is that it opens the door to some NW flow potential in these parts.

Why is it every time the models show a wet pattern coming up it collapses a week before it starts? Will the niño ever kick in? Or is this nw dominated pattern the new normal?
