FoothillsNC Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 The GFS has been on a hot streak. Too bad it can't predict a major snowstorm like it can predict heatwaves 10 days out. Yeah its def. on a roll for the last several months. The ECMWF has followed the op. GFS on about every meaningful weather event, even the small , day to day things. Is quite a switch from the way it used to be for sure. Well, April started in Feb. And now July is starting in May. I figure we get Aug. late in June, and then in Aug., with some tropical help, I'm hoping we get Sept! At that rate, I'll see Jan. weather in Nov. and I'll be as happy as ants on pie, lol. But I need some rain. 1.3 for May is bad, and all this heat on top, is real bad. It's just bad T thats a good philosophy, I'd like to use that twice a year--just to get to Autumn and Spring (lets bypass Winter and Summer ) Sorry no rain there lately, a few may drift in late Wed. Night or even Thursday, but not much of a chance. A little more moisture and slightly less capping going on for late week, but still just hardly worth mentioning really. Guess any hope is better than none...watch the radar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 theres a strong disturbance offshore that looks like it will make it to southeast GA or northeast Florida in 18 hours. The 18z NAM takes it into the Gulf and then into the Tx or LA coast eventually, but very weak. Its interesting to follow little things like that...its completely being driven by the upper ridging.

Foothills. Looks like in about ten days that a cooling trend my be on tap for the southeast per the 18z GFS. Thoughts? I'm just hoping this summer doesn't go hot and stay hot like last summer. I need the odd trough to drop into the southeast for some relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoWeatherman Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Running 6-7 degrees warmer than yesterday at this same time. Mid 90's looks likely up here in the mountains. I'm already pretty much at my high from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrips27 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Already 90oF at 11:15 in the morning! That's ridiculous! If you want a break from today's heat, take a walk down memory memory lane and relive this past winter. We had some great memories!

FoothillsNC Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 models are pretty insistent on a line of convection this evening coming from VA down across most of NC and reaching the Upstate and extreme NE GA region before dissippating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I think the 500mb vort dropping down Thurs night looks promising as well. yep, to me that one looked better than this one. If this pans out, chalk another up the GFS which painted a weak MCS into NC and VA from a week ago...but I have my doubts on how widespread tonight's is going to be. RUC is adamant as well though. The moisture overall will increase and less capping (slightly) for NC, SC GA and Alabama as we go through the next few days so chances of atleast scattered popups are on the increase.

kanc2001 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 actually a hair cooler today down here on the beaches mid - upper 80s, yesterday we were in the mid-upper 90s on the beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Last year I believe Atlanta had the 2nd most number of 90+ days ever with 90. They are already ahead of last years pace. Today is Atlanta's 7th day of 90+ this year. Atanta didn't have it's 7th day of 90+ until June 15 last year. Maybe Atlanta could make a run at 100 days of 90+ this year ?

Snowless in Carrollton Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I really hope not. Are you wanting this to happen? Of course not, but it is interesting that Atlanta is 2 weeks ahead of where they were last year considering how brutal last summer was. Atlanta has also tied the number of 90+ days they had all of the summer of 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Unofficially it's 100.4 with a DP of 70 here in Marietta/Smyrna. My gauge is in the best spot possible in the shade away from the blacktop. I do work on a car lot in a valley, all the heat absorbed by the cars, buildings and blacktops is really causing some misery today.....Typically my location is about 5-7 degrees hotter in the summer than Dobbins AFB the closest reporting station that's official.
