GATECH

Driving by the river this evening near Belle Haven and south along the parkway, river was way high! Should be interesting in Old Town tomorrow. High tide around 2:30, will time my drive home around that time.

Thunder now in range of my ears to the south. Temp76, DP 66. Bring it!

Nice gust front moving through, temp and humidity dropped like a rock, cool clouds too!

Well it’s sure as Sh!t not supposed to be a summer month either, but that’s what we seem to get nowadays!

Well, I will take chilly and wet over tropical anytime in December in these parts. Rain snow mix would be a huge win! I really miss December’s like 2003 and 2009! Eh screw it, I am going to Montana for Christmas so what do I care, December is going to December here.

Wow weather is gorgeous right now, wee nip in the air with a breeze from the NW, Temp 67! AC is going to get a well deserved vacation the next few days!

A la Tulane…

In ground, problem is when it overflows the water can find its way to a basement stairwell, plus the pool gets trashed with mulch and stuff. Events like this make me nervous, I have sandbags for the basement well, but those are a pain to drag out.

The struggle is real! Only had to do it twice this year! Good luck tomorrow!

Everyone relax, I pumped 4 inches of water out of my pool, this insures a few tenths of in inch of rain. Water will be re-added to pool costing me roughly $58 dollars on Friday…but on the plus side, I am refusing to put down my deck umbrella thus insuring I decent tornado outbreak. If you would like flooding rain and no tornados, please send me $58 and I will add the water back to the pool and take the umbrella down. The choice is yours…unfortunately I have yet to find the correct superstition combo to yield snow in winter…working on it though. To keep this legit for this thread…obs: cloudy, temp 82.7, DP 74.1, wet bulb is 77.7.

Invite @EastCoast NPZ to your vacation, that should do it!

If you want free radar, this is the best site… https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/

No thank you! Send all rain to NPZ!

Best of the year lightening show just to the south. I am in a perfect spot, get to see and hear it without the rain, already had 1.22 inches today so I am good.

Sorry about your basement. Crazy! We only had .5 down here, didn’t even hear the rain last night.

Entering the strange pink sky phase of the storm. Went from grey to green to pink.

To bad it doesn’t work with Snow!

Send SSE!

I don’t think this SOB is gonna miss this time! Grass needs a big drink!

Seriously burned out with swim meets this year, to make matters worse my son was on the neighborhood tennis team, so we had swim/tennis meets Mon, Wed, Sat and Sunday…that doesn’t even count daily practices. Swim Banquet tonight at the pool aka Neighborhood drunk night. The parents don’t even pretend to hide the booze at the pool tonight! One more week of work then off to a well earned vacation in Maine! Gotta start looking for my long sleeved shirts and a jacket!

Yes that seems to be the case. It seems to underestimate in my case, but I am good with the AI correction. My old Davis often got clogged so I would loose the data. On the whole I am happy with the Tempest, solid performance, zero up keep, more sensors than my old Davis which is fun (lightening and UV).

WOW, heaviest rain all year I think! I have never seen the ‘extreme’ rain rate on the weather flow tempest. .7inches in about 20 minutes not too shabby…drought cancel! Especially after my .15 from Elsa!

There’s always a chance! I am only chasing Knickerbocker+ storms at this point. Given the crazy climate, it’s totally possible! I am content in what I have experienced in my lifetime, some epic Denver storms in the 80’s and early 90’s, epic DC nor’easters 2009-10 and 2016, 1993 in Atlanta, four feet in Yosemite during thanksgiving 2019…been a a good run. I appreciate whatever we get at this point! What I do not want to see is a cat 5 up the bay…cat 2/3 fine

Me and my wife were talking about the sky today, definitely hazier compared to last week with same temps, but the sky this afternoon was still pretty blue. Growing up in ATL in the 80’s and 90’s you would never see blue sky in the summer, even here in the 2000’s the sky seemed hazier. Is it because the air is cleaner? Seems we don’t have nearly as many orange or even red air quality days now. Thought? Am I imagining things or is the air actually way cleaner.
