CandymanColumbusGA Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 A big load of fail is on the way today for me if FFC is right. I'm the purple dot..... I'm surprised FFC has the rain chances that far north, but I'm not 100% familiar with the mountains as some of the other Mets. The stalled frontal boundary seems to have pressed to the south of Atlanta and dry air aloft is filtering from the north. I think most of the thunderstorm activity will be south of a La Grange to Macon to Augusta line in Georiga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosie Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Have not seen rain here since 5/26, time for a decent soaker but it does not look like that will happen anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Looks like we will see another round of storms today, although we don't have a propagating MCS so it looks like it should be more scattered in nature since we don't have as good of a forcing mechanism. However, looking at the CU going up along the Appalachians, stuff should start to initiate by 2-3pm and move southward across the Carolinas again.

Lookout Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Screw Job Sunday is on in Central NC No surprise but same goes here..the heat and drought marches on here uninterrupted.

There seems to be an outflow boundary from the convection in sc yesterday over northeast ga. There is fairly aggressive looking cumulus building outside currently. So there could be something in the works for ne ga into the upstate. I can only hope and pray this amounts to something here..the lookout screwzone has been in full effect for well over a month now.

Looking for even a little bit of rain today also. It's sad when you have to hold out hope for a stray thunderstorm that may or not even develop. Even if it develops there is a good chance we will get missed. Will do the rain dance today a little later I think. Edit : seeing some cumulus clouds developing moving from the ENE to the WSW. I'm curious to see if they stop growing or we get a surprise around here today. edit 2 : Still building!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busick Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Dry! Dry! Dry! Thats all I can say here. Rain has not fallen here in weeks and farmers are pumping local ponds here like crazy.

Like I told Eyewall, I would be glad to give away some of my rain since I've been getting consistently hit with severe storms and such. With those storms that have already fired, hopefully one will make it to your area. In other news, I'm becoming a tad more interested in the developing low pressure down in the Caribbean. It's beginning to look a bit better organized and might end up becoming a depression sometime soon. Models take it either toward the Atlantic or the Gulf. http://gwxmanblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/slight-chance-of-storms-today-better.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks Gastonwx. Obviously I had some amazing chases in this state this year but I was really hoping to shoot some lightning yesterday. Hopefully another shot will come soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 The storm in NE Georgia is at 43k feet and still growing. I would imagine a Severe T-storm warning will be issued soon for that cell. If that complex holds together it is on a line to impact metro Atlanta. fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I hope so like many others in the area it has been woefully dry. I just hope the thing holds together. I hate being such a weenie about it but rain is so precious right now and we need every drop we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Wow I hope so like many others in the area it has been woefully dry. I just hope the thing holds together. I hate being such a weenie about it but rain is so precious right now and we need every drop we can get. If there's ever a time we need rain its this time of year. That sun dries things up so quickly. It would be nice to get a widespread soaking run but I guess we won't get that unless we have a tropical storm or hurricane.

shaggy Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 The pains bay fire is now being deemed "virtually impossible" to extinguish. It has made it deep into the ground and is spreading with little hope of full containment. Mornings are rough sometime with smoke making its way inland and it clears up in the afternoon. Now saying this one will burn through the summer unless we see some substantial rain in the coming weeks. http://www2.wnct.com/news/2011/may/06/166/highway-264-dare-county-shut-down-wildfire-ar-1011002/ One month fighting this wildfire and still no end in sight, the flames themselves vanishing as they begin to burn underground. Firefighters say putting the fire out on their own might no longer be an option. In just over 48 hours the Pains Bay wildfire takes a turn for the worse, burning more than 15,000 acres. Containment drops from 85 to 65 percent and the firefighter’s day grows even longer. "There are a lot of areas on this fire that we haven't been on,” said Steve Thompson, Strike Team Leader and Firefighter. With the 44,000 acre fire now in areas unreachable by firefighters, they say it’s virtually impossible to extinguish the flames on their own.

Sonny WX Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Here in Baton Rouge, we now have had afternoon summertime weather patterns three days in a row. We get Gulf moisture coming inland and reacting with daytime heating to set off thunderstorms most afternoons in the summer. They usually begin around 2pm or 3pm, and can last a couple of hours, sometimes up into the evenong. Given that we've been drought-stricken of late, it's good to have summertime patterns starting finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
