NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.

Rain and thunderstorms are moving across the Southeast this morning with embedded severe thunderstorms pushing through the Florida panhandle around Pensacola. Very heavy rain is a threat / risk along Interstate 10 into Tallahassee throughout the day as cleanup from tornadoes continues.
