Marion_NC_WX Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 FWIW: 18z GFS continues to develop a low in the Western Gulf, moves it ENE towards Florida. The trough exits allowing the feature to stall off the Florida West Coast...then days 9 and 10, it moves due north and heads into the southeast.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I didn't think Atlanta would make it today, but they finally hit 90. That brings Atlanta to 85 days of 90+ this year, which is tied with last year for 2nd all time. Only 5 more days until they tie the all time record set in 1980.

dsaur Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Dry air is actually pretty typical from Late August through Late October. That is normally our driest time of year. Obviously not THIS dry though... That's what worries me more than the endless string of 90's! It is getting to that time of year when you have to hope for hurricanes, or trop. systems to get any rain at all. I've got changing leaves and falling leaves all over now. I've got two more dead trees I have to cut this week, and a number that don't look good at all. Man, oh, man, 5 inches of rain would be great. Come on tropics A reservour a county away is closed to boaters, it is so low. My friends creek has dried up. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevinhmd Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The 12Z GFS sure does paint a whole bunch of rain across the southeast over early next week! Thankfully, most of it stays on the western side of where Irene hit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Atlanta officially hit 90 today !! That puts 2011 in 2nd place for days of 90+. 4 days until the 1980 record is tied. 86 days and counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm at 91.2. Got to 90 yesterday. I don't know what the official record is down here, but I'm closing in on the all time record in my own mind, lol. After this summer I won't care if I never see 90 again!

LithiaWx Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Atlanta officially hit 90 today !! That puts 2011 in 2nd place for days of 90+. 4 days until the 1980 record is tied. 86 days and counting. The next three days are forecast to hit 90+. After that a cooldown occurs. It would "suck" if we came up a day short of tieing the record. It going to be close, barring another surge of heat in Mid-September KATL is going to come up short.... GFS says no dice through 9/16. edit : are you absolutely sure your numbers are correct? This is going to be close I would recheck to make sure....Tonight or soon I'll go through and verify those totals for you....

Snowless in Carrollton Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The amazing thing is that last September there were 19 days of 90+ in Atlanta. That is unheard of. So as of this time last year Atlanta had 66 days of 90+ compared to 86 already this year. September 1980 was also very hot in Atlanta, which helped contribute greatly to their 90 days of 90+. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this September won't be quite as hot as last September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is after the next round of tropical systems we get some more 90's. They got rid of Pluto as a planet, but added Sept as a deep summer month, lol.

DaculaWeather Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Here is my contrast to that about 70 miles due north. Just 27 days above 90 and ZERO of 95+. Hard to believe that short distance makes that much difference. 35 miles as the crow flies. Even harder to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 35 miles as the crow flies. Even harder to believe. There's more to it than elevation and latitude. My guess is you get downsloped more. And a more urban area=warmer temps at the beginning of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I got to 92.6 yesterday, with more 92's forecast for today and tomorrow. Then miracle of miracles, my point forecast has highs in the 80's and 40 or 50% chances of rain out thru Thursday. Been a long, long time since I've seen the like Hope I'm not dreaming! Sure need that tropical moisture to beat back these sand dunes, lol. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
