Cool August/Early Fall? Don't Count On It!




August Has Certainly Not
Been Typical But Is There
An Early Fall Coming?








Don't Count On It!!!!!

August has definitely caught many by surprise after brutal heat since March breaking hundreds of all time records. The current setup of cooler temperatures is expected to last through the end of the month but, like clock work as we turn the page over to September so does the temperatures. This chapter is the cooler chapter of summer and has pushed the brutal heat to the west coast where it has been bottled up most of the month.
Changes are coming yet again though so don't be fooled by this cool August weather and more frequent chances for rain. As we turn the page into September temperatures are looking to go back above normal. In fact the 90's look to rule most of the first half of  September for the area with the current model trends but this is also subject to change. However, for now it appears the brutal heat wave could start to make a come back which is more bad news for a drought stricken area. The good news to all of this is that though we may heat back up it looks like the chances of rainfall will continue to be more frequent but it will take about 4 months of rainfall to catch us back up to normal. Stay tuned for further updates concerning the temperature swing as September draws closer.
