dsaur Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I don't know why, but ever since I moved out of Atl. I know that my first 100 degree temps will show up around the weekend of the 4th of July. And this summer looks no different. Let's hope it is the winding down of the excessive heat, and not the true beginning. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 The last two runs of the GFS has backed off on the heat just a smidgen. Still there will be many days of upper 90's to lower 100's though. But the max temps have been toned back slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Well, if 98 is the worst I get, I'll be well pleased. Usually, if I can get by this weekend without breaking 100 I might can skate the summer. We'll see. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Maybe we can get a nice TS to come and rain itself out on the SE in July. Looks like we could get some action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Maybe we can get a nice TS to come and rain itself out on the SE in July. Looks like we could get some action. the 18zGFS and GGEM have a weakness or upper low trapped into the Southeast middle of next week, which drops some decent rains over GA and the Carolinas. Its sandwiched between the 2 main ridges, so thats possible, but I'm not buying it yet until the models hold it. The Euro waits til over 168 hours to bring a front in , actually think thats its second front, but all models have a front or 2 coming into the Carolinas and possibly GA stalling next week, which would atleast bring some chances of rain back. A spin like the GFS is showing would be really nice, but probably unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Here's to the hope that July brings in the action...expect next Thursday when I make the trip to the ATL to watch the Bravos. I hope what Foothills is post comes true, I would rather have some enhanced clouds instead of 100 degree heat, especially for a 1 pm game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMarvel Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Very pleasant here today. Got up to 85, but the humidity was non-oppressive. It was 57 this morning, and just delightful. Caught this sunset tonight when the clouds rolled in. I've been in Florida for a week, and I sure did miss this wonderful weather. Golf tomorrow!

DaculaWeather Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I've hit low 90's so far today, probably won't go much higher, at least I hope not. We're right on the edge of a cu layer, if we can get a few clouds overhead we'll hopefully cool off a few degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Man, I like it! Extreme heat chances going down, and rain chances coming up! Excellent. Now if I can just get a few hurricanes to blow up some tropical up over the SE, and drench the land, happiness will reign I have backed off from 94. Under clouds now it is 91.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 We are too far north. I-20 seems to be the dividing line. I'm hoping that that ridiculously strong outflow from the south makes it up this way! Would cool it down and possibly spark a storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I work just north of I20 inside the perimeter. When I left work the sky overhead and to the south was dark. Everywhere north was just high cirrus. It was cool to see the dividing line so clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 I had quadraphonic thunder all afternoon. It would boom from the front left, then bridge to the right, and as that was fading it would come up on the left rear and bridge across to the right rear, then back to the front speakers again A look at radar showed storms within a mile or two all around me, but my house was the donut hole. I never saw a drop of rain, though it was very dark and cooled off nicely. Cool sound wise, and temp wise, but I sure would have liked some rain. Hope wxfide and Psalm, and Candyman got some!!

weatherfide Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Nada for me, too. Got real dark just to my south. Could hear thunder overhead a few times. We had a few drops earlier in the day according to my wife. She drove through a nice shower that ended about .5 mile from the house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T HAHA!! Yea, we got some...about 5 minutes....just enough to keep the dust down....after the thunder stopped, hubby jumped on the lawn mower and cut the grass in our yard, his bro-in-laws and his daddy's.....he got off at lunch and was returning a favor. That was almost 6 acres of grass he cut. It was a great time to do it...those clouds,although they didn't give much rain made the temps really great yesterday evening.

shaggy Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Actually have a forecast that makes me hopeful we will see some much needed rain. Still a couple days away but this is the best NWS disco I have read for my area in a while so i'm keeping my fingers crossed. PWATS could be nearing 2 inches in some areas so even though the severe threat isn't great there is potential for some big rain totals under any of the storms. AS OF 330 AM SUN...LONG TERM PERIOD WILL FEATURE ABOVE NORMAL PRECIP AND NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON SYNOPTIC REGIME THROUGH MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK...AS BROAD TROUGH OF LOW PRES REMAINS ENTRENCHED IN THE EASTERN CONUS WITH UPR RIDGING ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN US. A SERIES OF WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARIES COINCIDENT WITH UPR LEVEL SHORTWAVES WILL BRING SCT CONVECTION TO E NC EACH DAY BEGINNING MON. MOISTURE INCREASES IN EARNEST BY MON AFTERNOON AS LAYER MIX RATIOS APPROACH 15 G/KG. BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDERSHOWERS WILL BE ACROSS NRN CWA AS SFC FRONT DIPS INTO NRN NC. CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL LINGER INTO THE EVENING...AS FLOW ALOFT WILL BE WESTERLY PROMOTING INTRUSION OF ANY MCS ACTIVITY INTO E NC. SFC BOUNDARY WILL BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY TUE AND WED...WHILE A SERIES OF UPR LEVEL TROUGHS PIVOT EASTWARD AROUND BASE OF MAIN BROAD TROUGH ACROSS EASTERN CANADA. BEST CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...AS SYNOPTIC FORCING INTERACTS WITH SEA BREEZE TO GENERATE SCT STORMS. AGAIN...CHANCES FOR STORMS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE EVENING AS FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES WESTERLY WHILE AT THE SAME TIME DEVELOPING SOUTHERLY LLJ ENHANCES NOCTURNAL CONVECTION. ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED ATTM DUE TO WEAK BULK SHEAR...THOUGH WITH LARGE INSTABILITY VALS AND HIGH PWATS...HEAVY RAIN AND ISO STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS CANNOT BE RULED OUT WITH SOME OF THE STORMS THAT DEVELOP.
