Summer Thread 2018: Northern Hemisphere (temp, days, storms, dewpoint)

[LKJ1988]

Few small blow ups in FL and moving in a odd south west direction. Sometimes i can get some super heavy rain once they reach the coast as they hit the west coast sea breeze.

Rains all around us today but not a drop fell here. Everyday the forecast calls for a possible thunderstorm but none for several days not. It's a crazy guessing game on a plateau where things fluctuate rapidly some days.

Love this east flow. These blow ups hit the sea breeze and BOOM. Heavy rain and lightning and they are moving to the west toward me instead of a reverse west windflow when they miss me every day. Already got .50" in 10 mins. I am where the hand is.

Had a t-storm here this evening that brought 0.67" of rain. Decent precip chances this week.

Looks like relief coming for drought areas in TX, OK, LA, & AR.
