I've only had 2 days at 96, the rest were around 90 and even upper 80s. Most of the time during the early June heat wave, this area stayed well below forecast highs. I'm pretty sure the low level ground moisture had something to do with it, when I glanced at other sites and seen how hot they were, it was pretty unusual to see my temps so much lower, but my own thermo. agreed, so it was about right. We'll see how this one shakes out. The ECMWF still isn't quite as hot as the GFS though, and ends this heat wave much faster, with nw flow kicking back in next week, and the big closed high shifting back out to Texas and the Southern Rockies.

I think you're on to something. During the June drought here on Cape Fear the ILM NWS Office underestimated our daily highs with stunning regularity.

The pattern here broke today - with both a morning downpour and an afternoon one. Unfortunately the latter delivered an intense barrage of CTG lightning; one bolt of which knocked out my primary computer. I now must replace my power supply (at least.)

Yes, I had a surge protector. No, it didn't do me any good.

I would be very surprised if Atlanta hits 100 anytime soon. I know where I live about 45 miles from Atlanta, the ground is very wet, and high temps have been running consistently 3-5 degrees below what was forecast. It only made it up to 87 today under full sunshine and the forecast high was in the low 90s.

Took these 2 videos today in Jacksonville at 4:55 pm, we had a storm come in and the wind really picked up, I opened the door and looked at the sheets of rain, they had switched directions and I looked up and bam, this is what I saw. Althought weak I think this is a tornado there was definite rotation when I observed this. In the second video the rotation is towards the end of the video you can see it come from the ground.

Nice high tide.....local flooding...Savannah has about 4" from this.....flash flood warning there....nasty looking as these storms just parked over to my south with plenty of lightening still by HHI on the south side. Broad creek looks more like broad lake.

Areas near Tybee have close to 8". If you're in Sea Pines, you could probably see those storms about five miles south of you. They've been parked there for hours now.

I have been sitting out on the deck tonight and for the past 30 minutes or so I have been watching lightning off to my Southeast. Not just flashes, but seeing the entire Cumulonimbus lit up with individual bolts. I was surprised to see this with the low humidity and relatively cool air tonight so I decided to take a look at radar and the nearest activity is around Goldsboro and Fayetteville. I am located in Eden, NC and both of these locations are a little over 100 miles away. The clouds and lightning look like they are less than 30 miles away. Quite an unusual site.

Foggiest/smokiest morning I have seen in a long time. Driving home from work this morning there were times vis was 100 ft especially near the river and where there are large fields near the road.

No rain yesterday and no chances in the forecast till Tues of next week, hope that pattern change happens, also the setup the next few weeks looks to be kinda favorable for tropical development maybe we will get lucky and get a rare July hurricane.

I had 3.96" on the month of June. There were a ton of events in the .25" range, I actually thought it was much more than actually received. Last June's total here was around a trace.

Barely edged you out with 3.99". Like you I had many events around .25 before I finally hit the jackpot with 2" Tuesday night. I'm beginning to think we are going to have to wait a little longer for any southwest flow over the Carolinas. The GFS seems pretty well set on keeping the trough centered over the lakes and New England through at least the next ten days keeping us under mainly westerly and northwesterly flow. The 12Z GFS ENS are a little more bullish about building the Bermuda High thus putting us in southwesterly flow for a time but this would not be until later next week. Seems like were going to have a hard time fighting off the influence of the ridge to our west. At least with the weakness in heights we should get periodic fronts that stall across the area with increased chances for organized thunderstorms.

It rained 10 days in June at my house, but I still only managed to eke out 2.52" for the month.

This, after the massive May fail: 10 days of rain that month, too, bringing only 1.68".

That was after the April disappointment: 12 days it rained that month, while somehow giving up only 3.27".

That's how 2011 has gone. I'm sitting on 14.9" for the year to date -- averaging a smidgen under 2.5"/mo. It's bad. Drought is the new way of life here. Well...less grass-cutting, anyway. And at least my 80-year-old blueberry stands, their old roots down to the groundwater, look fantastic. There will be cobbler for July 4th -- topped with snow cream I have kept stored since Dec. 26th. That snow was the last interesting weather phenomenon to have shown its face at my house. For watchable weather this year, I may as well be living in San Diego.

I agree. The GFS has a murky look now, more nw flowish, we just can't shake the southern plains stubborn ridge and the New England trough. The fourth may feature an MCS approaching, as a front in Iowa is heading toward Va and NC, so something may develop along it. After that, its unsure how much moisture or lift is left, there may be a very weak low to lolligag somewhere in the Southeast, or just a faint weakness. Either way, its showing atleast scattered showers much of next week, but not the midnation trough it had earlier.

. For watchable weather this year, I may as well be living in San Diego.

thats how it was here last year, nothing fell here last Summer until August, literally. But for this area, its been practically nonstop action (or feels that way) since December. I'm really right around average in rain, but lots of small events and a lot of interesting high wind events, lightning shows and plenty of convection has made this year one of the best I can remember since the 1990's sometime. For all the wind damage events, its definitely #1 in my lifetime of living here. I've seen enough of those, and am ready for big rains.

The hot, humid days continue for the SE. Welcome to summer in the SE. However, I would like to note those GFS runs from a few days ago that had KATL in the 100+ range. KATL was plenty hot (mid 90's), but those GFS runs are verifying quite a bit too hot. This is more like some of the very hot Euro runs of the last few summers. The GFS has recently had a strong warm bias in the northern hemisphere as a whole after recent modifications. Are we going to be seeing more of this kind of thing with the GFS this summer? We'll see. At the very least, I'm going to at least be somewhat skeptical of ridiculously hot GFS runs this summer, especially at KATL and vicinity, and try to keep following the verifications.

ok....heat started late in May.....and we still have not got a break!!! July here we are....last nite at 10:30 I was on my way home from across the street....It was still 86 degrees and humid! This stinks! I'm sick of summers being nothing but 90's....This is not how it used to be....mid-upper 80's were norm and we had few 90's splashed in there....hope this heat breaks in July.....GAG!:gun_bandana:
