If July was "wild" as I stated a month ago, I'm honestly not sure what to say about August. The rainfall for the month is definitely the standout (and not in a good way). We saw 3.02 inches of our monthly total on August 28th alone! We'll have to wait to see if it goes down as the wettest August on record in Clarksburg, but if not, it will certainly rank high on the list. Both our high and low temperatures averaged out to be slightly below the 30 year normals, but not by much.
We saw an impressive 20 inches of rain this summer (June-August), making it the wettest summer on record in Clarksburg. Thinking back on the summer that was, I don't think that comes as much as a surprise.
After today, temperatures are expected to be slightly below average for the next week, but overall, temperatures over the next month according to the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) are expected to be near normal with precipitation over the next month staying above normal.

I mentioned it last month, but all of this wet weather should mean a nice show of fall colors in a few weeks!
