superjames1992 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 We had a grand total of 0.00" from this system here in Raleigh. I thought at least we would get a few showers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Pollen count in Atlanta today is 703 (high is 90-1499), two weeks ago it was 7. Alder, cedar and elm are the main culprits right now. It's VERY early for counts to be this high. http://www.daculawea.../pollen_new.php I thought my itchy eyes and Benedryl fix was strange last week...now I know why.

ATL_Militarypolice Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Maybe some potential severe weather for some to look forward to early next week. KBMX: JUST LIKE WITH OUR CURRENT SYSTEM...FRIDAY`S SYSTEM WILL BRING JUST A QUICK SHOT OF COOLER AND DRIER AIR TO THE SOUTHEAST FOR ABOUT A HALF DAY BEFORE THE STRONGEST OF THE THREE SYSTEMS MAKES ITS WAY EAST SUNDAY AND MONDAY. ALL INDICATIONS CONTINUE TO POINT TO THIS SYSTEM AS HAVING THE MOST IMPACT FOR THE SOUTHEAST...MAINLY ON MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN AND DEEPEN WITH EACH MODEL RUN...AND IS NOW EVEN SHOWING SIGNS OF BEING FURTHER SOUTH THAN PROGGED...ADDING IN ANOTHER ELEMENT OF BEING DANGEROUS. THIS ONE SHOULD SET ITSELF APART FROM THE THURSDAY/FRIDAY SYSTEM AS WE WILL HAVE TWO FULL RECOVERY DAYS FOR THE MODEST TO EVENTUALLY STRONG RETURN FLOW TO ESTABLISHES ITSELF. EVEN THOUGH WE ARE AT DAY 6 AND 7 WITH THIS SYSTEM...I FEEL FAIRLY COMFORTABLE IN INTRODUCING THE THREAT INTO THE HWO WITH A LOW CONFIDENCE...FOR NOW. WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THE TRENDS THROUGH THE WEEK...SO IT WOULD BE ADVISABLE TO MONITOR THE WEATHER OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Liking the severe talk for Friday I am off so I could chase but it will most likely be fast moving stuff so we will see. 1am 63 2am 48 15 degrees in one hr is a pretty good drop. Been holding at 37 for the last 3 hrs so right now its about 30 degrees colder than this time yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alder, cedar and elm are the main culprits right now. It's VERY early for counts to be this high. http://www.daculawea.../pollen_new.php Had to start my annual Claritin-D regimen yesterday. You would think after a cold two months it would take a little more than a few warm days for plants to become active again. The wasps have also came out as they were all over my front porch yesterday. One thing I do like about winter is the break from wasp, yellowjackets, and fireants.

eyewall Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I am looking forward to any chase potential as well should it materialize. I will be watching closely for sure . I hope to get some good high speed lightning footage this year as now I will have the camera for the entire season rather then just the end.

eyewall Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I definitely feel bad for those left out of the snow this year. Winter is essentially over so I know it will be a long an painful wait for 2011-2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Eyewall, experiencing any effects from the smoke from the wildfire in Cumberland and Bladen counties? No the wind has a northerly component so the smoke is being pushed away from my area. I did smell smoke yesterday though. Not sure if it was that fire or not.

Gastonwxman Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Significant interesting temperature gradient across the great state of North Carolina mid day. 30 degrees difference between Rawleigh and Chawlotte Reminds me of the impressive 850 temperature gradient that took place with our last winter system back in the southwestern states. Unreal of the difference I'm seeing here! You would have to go from wearing shorts/t-shirt to pants/long sleeve shirt and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew the pollen was high when my wife said I had been snoring. I only snore during allergy season. I also noticed the honeybees have ventured out in my yard. I always enjoy watching them and they work wonders for my garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernUpstateSC Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I don't know if I have ever seen such a quick transition from cold winter weather to almost late springlike weather here in upstate sc. It was cold one week and then the next week trees and flowers were starting to bud and we were appoaching 75-80 degrees. It really don't look like in the long range that really any type of winter weather is coming back. Usually it is much more gradual transition from winter to spring but, this year it was like someone turned the button to winter abruptly off and welded it shut.

Usually it is much more gradual transition from winter to spring but, this year it was like someone turned the button to winter abruptly off and welded it shut. I've been thinking the same thing. It was as if a switch were flipped and it hasn't switched back....feels like full fledged Spring. Huge temp differences now, which actually showed up well from a week ago when the models toyed with northern NC and VA getting snow (and it did happen in VA). Impressive gradient. The good news is the rain on the way for some of us, but I'm at the southern edge of the boundary as well as the Upstate. Looks like I-40 across NC and points north are going to get hit from two systems pretty well, but we may just get a glancing blow as the cold front sweeps in over the next week. We're in desperate need of moisture in NC east of the mountains, and esp. here in the lee of the Apps were downslope winds have a double whammy effect (little precip + high winds=major topsoil moisture depletion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I am thankful the winds weren't bad today as a unit in out apt community caught fire (if you are in the CLT area, you have or will probably see video it tonight. They didn't get any of the flames thanks to the quick response). Luckily the firefighters kept it contained to only a few apts, could have been much worse. I should have gotten video of the smoke billowing out, but was more concerned for my neighbors, which none were hurt. Anyway, sorry for that side story, just the first thing I thought of today is how lucky we were to not have winds like yesterday and over the weekend.
