Our pattern takes a flip flop this weekend. West wind for over 6 weeks and today weak steering currents as the axis of the high is on top of us. Axis should move north my area on Sunday and start to get into a east flow for once. Lower dewpoints but hotter temps on my coast with a east flow and 10 times better chance of rain. Then the axis gets pushed south and back to a southwest wind later next week gator.
Basically, what's happening to the Mid-Atlantic now is what happened to the Midwest in 1993: a strong Bermuda highdirecting all storms around its edge. The only difference is that the Bermuda high covered the East Coast in 1993, but is staying offshore this summer.
1.5inches in two months is an extreme drought? 46mm(1.8 in) since May 1st in Vancouver and we're not even close to being in an extreme drought; just "abnormally dry".

I think droughts are determined based on average rainfall. Vancouver isn't in a drought because it's always dry there in summer. But if you're looking at a humid continental climate, summer should be wet.
Currently it's dropping into the 50's here in middle TN at night. No really warm enough for maximum summer vegetable production. Our August forecast is unbelievable cooler than I've ever expected with very few days to reach a high of over 84°.
This has been among the worst summer seasons in recent memory when it comes to hot humid weather
I've seen that in the NE. It's crazy. It may have got to 90-91° here for 1 or 2 days this year. Much cooler it seems this year as a whole. August highs for some of the days in July already experience and more forecast for August. Last year we sweat like pro football players at summer camp trying to harvest garden vegetables. Not this year.

Not for my area.
