DMADKAT Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 This is got to be the most boring tranquil weather I have ever seen. This past winter or year without one is definitely one for the books. I never seen anything quite like it. Water temps in bay was 60 degrees last month which is warmest by far that I have ever seen for so early in the year. This summer scares me to death working outside like I do because the extremely high humidity from the above normal water temps are going to add to the misery. I know that in 1983, (the hottest summer I remember here in Norfolk Va.) the water in the bay was 87 at one time. Even though the summer of 2010 was hottest summer here it was a dry one. That monster of 1983 was a beast in terms of oppressiveness. I remember a stretch of days about 3 weeks in length that topped 98 degrees or more in a row with high humidity. This is what I am looking at perhaps this summer. YOU NEVER KNOW FOR SURE WHAT THE PATTERN WILL SHAKE OUT THIS SUMMER BUT IT WILL MORE THEN LIKELY BE MORE INTERESTING THAN THIS PAST BORING WINTER. " When you get weather that you ain't seen before, means you gonna get MORE weather you ain't seen before." Stay tuned !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach McGuirk Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 We haven't seen rain in a long time due to this high pressure dominating the east coast. Our next chance of rain comes on Wednesday and even that probably won't be much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billabong Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 This time last year... 12 tornadoes blowing through the area, all avoiding the metro area. Map says 11, but a 12th was added just south of Wakefield I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Map says 11, but a 12th was added just south of Wakefield I believe. The Surry Nuclear Power Station Got hit with one of those tornadoes. It did a lot more damage than what was first reported. They were offline for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach McGuirk Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Over 2 inches of rain is expected with this Nor'easter and we sure do need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billabong Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Over 2 inches of rain is expected with this Nor'easter and we sure do need it. Moderate drought has crept into inland areas. ORF is 5" on the dot below normal for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxrjm Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Rather late but wanted to archive it here for the future. My friend and I were smack dab in the middle of the Hampton tornado. We watched it form over the James River then come ashore and were right near the damage areas asking if everything was ok after it hit. Ironically after looking at radar data and the track it took when it was all said and done, it was heading straight towards my house before it lifted... That being said, we had some of the most intense lightning tonight in the Hampton area after sunset. Literally shook me in my chair. Looking at the soundings it seems like there was a small temperature inversion near the surface that could have been the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach McGuirk Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 What happened to all this rain we were supposed to be getting today? I'm looking at the radar and a few isolated storms here and there. 60% coverage my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach McGuirk Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 It looks like one of those cases where they took the models for what they spit out. You can't expect a lot of rain and thunderstorms with no low pressure system in place. A weak cool front boundary isn't much to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate these boring summer months. Its like Counting Crows kick ass album a few years back. AUGUST AND EVERYTHING AFTER. We can only hope.
