Would have been a true heat wave with multiple days in the 90's hadn't it been for all the convective activity. We've just been unlucky with the heat this year (or lucky if you want to look at it that way). Though August will most likely finish with a positive departure in terms of temperatures.

Would've, could've, should've... Just wasn't in the cards I guess

Only 81° imby today. 

 

How many outflow boundaries can you count? I see 5.

Was just looking at that myself. Earlier I was fortunate enough to get one while baking on a deck I was working on, and then received only a few drops of rain. Interesting weather day, considering how muggy and warm it started, and also what has pretty much blown right by/over me or dried up right before it got to me.

Nice storm going through your area right now...your probably getting dumped on finally.

Yeah James, not many big storms recently here but we have been plenty wet with a lot of heavy rain, and that overall pattern looks to continue. Beautiful day out there right now, less humid, temp around 70.

[Tom]

It's been very humid, wet and stormy around these parts.  Now I know why there was a lot of complaining back in May/June when it stormed constantly.

Is that band camp by chance East Dubzz?

Lol I wish man. Football camp was very hot. Today and then tomorrow we have it at 6 in the morning, so despite the early time, it's actually pretty nice as far as the heat goes.

[tim the weatherman]

was looking at twitter and jb said that the midwest and northeast will have blackouts for this up coming winter.

[james1976]

massive rain shield moving through Iowa right now. looks like a cool rainy day.

[Tom]

Remember the major severe weather outbreak back on November 17, 2013 that erupted tornadoes in Illinois last year???  According to the LRC, 288 days later and in the final cycle of this year's pattern, it is showing up one last time this holiday weekend.  Is it a coincidence???  I think not...check out the similarities in these maps.  We will begin to see the new pattern setting up late in September, but for now its the same pattern.

I really hope this weekend isn't a washout! Month is running about -0.6° from normal here locally. Really pleasant out this evening, but I know the dewpoints will be rising soon.
