Winter Storm Izzy Obs Thread
Tarheel17 replied to Prismshine Productions's topic in Southeastern States
Moderate snow near South Park! ~3 inches of snow/sleet for the event so far IMBY -
I'll complain about the lack of sun after the upcoming two days, but really can do without the heat.
-
Can confirm, 45 degrees with heavy sleet in Uptown Charlotte
-
KCLT stuck on 48/36. 10 degrees cooler just to our NE, hoping that cooler air pushes in soon.
-
Good observation. Hickory has a DP of 22 while KCLT has a DP of 34 as of an hour ago. Hope to see that DP drop some more before the precip starts flowing in tomorrow morning.
-
I forgot how much I missed having something worthwhile to track. I'll give it 48 hours before it goes *poof* and we get another warm rain.
-
And a rough 12 months until we are in the exact same boat this time next year.
-
Snowing in Uptown Charlotte. Tiny flakes but started as snow, much better than the mix with rain last week.
-
You know it's rough when my parents up in Michigan have been on the battle lines of snow/ice/rain all winter. Terrible, terrible pattern.
-
Luckily my company is funding the trip. Maybe they know how much I hate the heat and want me to have effectively 8 months of summer this year since I will get back just in time for our yearly May heat wave.
-
At this point I'm looking forward to my upcoming trip to Singapore for a few months. At least when I am baking in the tropical heat and humidity, it'll meet my expectations.
-
Winning.
-
The only saving grace is that +1 degree C is equivalent to 59 L and 80 H by the end of this timeframe in Charlotte....
-
I have a trip up to the Vermont mountains next week. GFS is showing a very strong ridge and well above-average highs of 10-20 degrees above normal for this time of year for that area, with a cool down right when I leave. Honestly it's a cruel joke at this point.
-
If the GFS is right we will be waiting until at least the 4th week of the month for a shot at a brief cooldown/drier air. Not unusual, but the chances will really start ramping up by the end of the next 6 weeks.
-
Typical.
-
Think the heat island effect could be that bad? Otherwise would be from the official CLT location but if I remember correctly it is in a low spot near the airport.
-
The Goofy more or less says to try again next month.
-
About the most miserable walk to work this morning I have ever experienced. 78 degrees with a dewpoint of 73 at 8 am meant that I showed up to work ready for another shower.
-
Humid and Hot. Dew points luckily staying below 70 most days so far.
-
I think my biggest frustration with the "New Normal", so to speak, is that the excessively high dew points every day means that we are nearly 100% of the time above "average" on our lows even when we are near or below normal on our highs.
-
I'll take the 588 Death Ridge over the 594 Death Ridge I suppose.
-
Looking forward to the Wedge action this Wednesday followed by a drying trend. Summer Wedges are quite refreshing, even if it's still moist.
-
Thank god I will be in Europe the next couple of weeks. What an awful way to kick off summer. I know it will be waiting for me when I return.
-
Long range GFS is showing a series of good pushes of continental Canadian air from 5/11-5/20 or so. Hoping we can cash that in before summer loads up and locks in.
