Are you still full sun? I'm cloudy and 84

full sun yes, but it is "filtered" slightly by high clouds. Temp is steadily rising though. I still think mid 90's are very likely for most of Cobb County today. We have avoided the rain this morning and we have not had any rain for a very long time now. Cobb County was the hottest area of metro Atlanta yesterday and I expect the same today.

I don't ever remember DP's as high as they currently are for North Georgia. Upper 70's and low 80's are very common right now. I can't remember a DP of 80 or higher here before. I'm sure it's happened but this is a first for me I believe of actually recognizing the actual DP above 80.

I'm lucky in a little bubble of much lower dewpoints today. Asheville to Forest City , Shelby and up to Hickory are all in the mid 60's to 70 for dewpoints, yesterday we were in the mid 70s'. Temperature is now 89.

Well lots of analog data suggest its a SC/NC kinda year tropics wise so we will see. I have seen 1996, 1999 thrown around and in 7/8 years in which NC has had more than 30 tornados by June 1st we have been hit by a tropical system, and we had 30 in a day on Apr 16th.

Been ALONG time since we had a homegrown system form off the SE coast and actually make landfall as a decent system though.......Ironically Hurricane Alex and Gaston both formed off the Carolinas in 2004.

KATL up to 92oF at the 11:52 update. HI at 102oF.

CAPE is off the charts in West Central Georgia!

wow 5500, It will be interesting to see how high KATL gets today. 100 is probably unlikely but I am watching the drama unfold today. Could easily hit upper 90's assuming no popup storms or outflows come and mess things up.

what do you mean?

occasionally it comes in the format that the NWS service issues it, most times it just all runs together like it did there.

Edit : A storm just fired 5 miles south of me. I get a great view of it from my window but no rains....

Edit 2: A storm is hitting right next to ATL airport. That will surely put a fork in any extreme temps there today.

15 years ago today I was experiancing my first real landfalling hurricane. By this time conditions were really going down hill fast, we actually took the eye here with a calm that lasted 30 mins or so, the winds either side of the eye were pretty nasty. For about a hr before we got into the eye winds were sustained in the 40-50 mph range I would guess with frequent gust into the 70-80's with a offical peak gust of 76 knts (87 MPH ), after the eye it was more like 40 mph sustained gust to the 60-70's but for 2-3 hrs it was pretty intense with lots of trees down, power out etc.

Little did we know that as bad as Bertha was it would get trumped a few months later by Fran with sustained winds of 60-70 mph and gust over 100......

Bertha was my first hurricane,too! Lived in J'ville from 1994 to 2000.

Was taking cover in a 1000 sq ft house w/6 adults, 2 newborns, 2 cats & a dog, and no power for 3 or 4 days.

It was the first of many storms during those 6 years.

87/79 on Hilton Head for a HI of 101. Typical day in the Lowcountry. You get used to it after awhile, especially with the sea breeze. In fact, I think HI should take wind into account. It isn't as suffocating when it's breezy.

Mother spent some time growing up in Hardeeville, SC, just inland....where it is suffocating

Folks,

1) The 12z Tue gfs has KATL up to 100 F as of 2 PM today. It only has to rise 9 F during the next hour to get there lol. A big part of the problem is that it has the td at only 65 then. It is now at a whopping 75 F. Also, it has "cooled" KATL's high for tomorrow down to 104 F from the 108 F of today's 6Z gfs. Nevertheless, it still has highest 850's near a sizzling +25 C.

2) ***FWIW*** (mainly entertainment): The 12Z Tue gfs has KATL hitting 100+ three days in a row: 7/23-5.

All of this is in regard to Meteostar:

I got hit by the one 5 miles to your south right as I got back to the office. It was pretty funny watching everyone scramble to close their car windows.
