Sorry for not posting yesterday, and sorry that todays post is late. Just got back from work, so this will be a rather short entry. Chattanooga hit 105 degrees today folks. Simply amazing. And according to the local weather meteorologists, the airport actually topped out at 106 degrees, which would have tied the all time record for any date, EVER, but the temperature didn't remain at 106 for 5 minutes, which is the amount of time that it becomes "official." So technically the high was only 105 degrees. But still, amazing to say the least. And as long as this drought continues, I think the models may be downplaying just how hot it will be for the next few days. But remember a few days ago I mentioned that a pattern change may be in the makings, and sure enough, the GFS continues to show this possibility, beginning possibly as early as next weekend and especially the next week (first week of September.) I hope so, because this heat is really getting to me. I cannot wait for those nice, comfortable Autumn temperatures. And the GFS model continues to show increased rain chances in the next few weeks, so let's hope and pray that this all comes into play. Again, it's still aways away, and it's not by any means set in stone. But the GFS is fantastic at forecasting pattern shifts, and hopefully that is in the makings. That's it for today. Not much else to talk about other than the REDICULOUS rains and storms that are occuring in the Midwest. Absolutely amazing. Maybe I'll get some stats and photos up on that tomorrow sometime. Night everyone.
