Snowless in Carrollton Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm loving this low humidity, but unfortunately that's probably one reason why it's been so dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrips27 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Felt like that storm was teasing me... Could see it shoot up during soccer and just sit there. Plenty of cloud to cloud lightning also. But no rain once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 the GFS doesn't do much with the tropical system this weekend, but it does develop a big central Canada block, that evolves to a rex block. That feature almost always equals precip for the Southeast. If it's real, really have no idea yet but if it holds it several runs I'd say its legit. Its still far out.

Mencken_Fan Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Over the past few weeks the ILM NWS Office has under-forecast the temperatures with such regularity I automatically add a few degrees to whatever they say. And not only is this heat getting old real fast; the lack of rain is savaging the grass around here - grass which is now mostly brown. Not the best start to June I've ever seen....

I noticed that when I ventured down last week. Temps through the week were forecasted to be 80-85 degrees. Turns out there wouldn't be a day cooler than 90.

LiQuiDBuD Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Picked up 1.32" in a severe thunderstorm yesterday afternoon in Glenville, NC. I wasn't at home when it passed through but it was obvious that it came down very quickly. Our paved road looked like a gravel road from all the driveway washouts and had a tree down in one lane of the road. That brings us to a total of 1.62" in the past five weeks. Here's to hoping we'll get another round today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Getting some periodic thunder here in Southern Pines. Every few minutes there is a CG in the area but they are few and far between. I worked all night and havent been paying much attention to the radar lately since it doenst rain here anymore and when I got home I saw those returns and figured the radar was glitching since there isnt much movement but I guess thats all real huh lol. How totally random and odd that is that you have storms this time of the morning...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Getting some periodic thunder here in Southern Pines. Every few minutes there is a CG in the area but they are few and far between. almost looks like a small circulation between SOP and FAY. Cloud tops are still cooling so its probably hanging around for a while. The models and soundings have a good /better chance of more widespread convection today in the foothills and western SC and GA region. In fact ridging to the west and low level circulation to our southeast + lee trough, looks like a possible slamming of rain and storms in much of central and western Carolinas and Georgia this afternoon. Cross your fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Good light show on my drive from sop to fayvthis morning! Wish I could have caught some on the high speed camera. Cg's still ongoing to my west. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross your fingers. I sure hope so Robert. This drought is slowly taking hold again around here. Just when we got a few months of relief from the drought in Winter and early Spring, it's well on it's way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SN_Lover Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Seeing a plume of convection near Fayetteville on the GEOS and it appears to be drifting north eastward. I hope it's gonna be a MCS haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The low humidity and dewpoints down here are the only things that make this awful heat bareable. While I would like some rain, I can do without the humidity. So....low humidity thunderstorms, please, lol. Lots of water on the ground with low water vapor content in the air T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of water on the ground with low water vapor content in the air T asking for that in June (low humidity+TR) is asking to break the laws of physics LOL, might as well get in your car and keep pressing the pedal until you reach the speed of light But it looks like coverage is going to be better, maybe getting close to your area as well. And if today doesn't work, ample chances coming up the next 3 days, with increasing low level moisture and less cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Blacksburg Virginia 1032 am EDT Thursday Jun 9 2011 Near term /until 8 PM this evening/... all near term models focus storms on northwest NC and extreme SW Virginia this afternoon...so have increase probability of precipitation to likely in this corridor. Cumulus already popping along outflow boundary across central Kentucky from last nights convection. This boundary may eventually initiate storms in the aforementioned regions. Subtle surface convergence of winds along the mountains may allow storms to fire a little further north than yesterday. Some of the storms could be strong this afternoon.

LithiaWx Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Thermodynamics are becoming more and more favorable for storms to fire. MUCAPE is 2000-4000 in spots, LI is high, DCAPE is high, Lapse Rates are decent. Looks like my first good chance at storms in quite some time today.

shaggy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The grass here has browned out and you can take your foot and brush it over the grass and be left with nothing but dirt in some places. Nice group of surprise showers and storms for the sandhills area. Enjoy the rain while you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe all this moisture is drawing out all the frogs at night which is very annoying here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATL_Militarypolice Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Quick question I'm am not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not. Over the past few days I have noticed storms seem to be firing up over the higher terrain, pretty much down the spine of the Apps, more than anywhere else. What is causing this?
