Marion_NC_WX Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 It's been tropical muggy since I got up. The rain has been light and intermittent, but considering how long it's been since I felt any drops, it is a nice start. It looks and feels like there might be more I just finished cutting the croquet court in a light rain, with a breeze blowing, and it felt wonderful. Beyond wonderful. Can't believe it isn't 90 + again. T It's been humid up here most of this week but since lunch today...there seems to be a different feel to the air, the outer edge of Lee's atmospheric makeup has began to pull itself toward the Southern Appalachians. Getting a lot of mid and high level overcast with some lower cumulus, not the towering cumulus but the small cotton ball-type formations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hazah! The zombie mojo is actually working! I have rain, albeit light, but rain none the less. Good times are here again T Woo Hooo!! I will be waiting patiently for my turn with some sprinkles NASCAR cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Our attention at this current time is the remnant of Lee and what he will do but has anyone noticed the GFS wanting to spin up another tropical system for next weekend and bring it down the pipeline?

Looks that way by at least Day 7. Might end up being Maria if another one doesn't spin up before it. Unreal of the action we're seeing but we knew this season was going to be quite a busy one. I made a call for 16 named storms, 5 of which would be major hurricanes on a thread I made a while back so we'll see how this goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to love how Goofy is always ready to please and delight out at the far end of La La Land Looks like it's trying to bring up two gulf systems, and at least one comes over mby! I'm ready to employ zombie mojo for that one too, lol. On the Saharan air layer they look to be lining up off Africa, and crossing the Namib....I'll leave the light on for 'em. T Woo Hooo!! I will be waiting patiently for my turn with some sprinkles So far just a few tenths, but I'm expecting a bigger splash tonight and tomorrow. I'll pin your name on some water filled clouds, and send them on The ground around here is so happy I can hear it laughing. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Montana vs. University of Tennessee Neyland Stadium / Lightning Delay (After this pic was taken I returned to the tunnel and the storm unleased its fury.) Bottom right pic is after the game resumed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Models show the back of summer has been broken in the southeast. I am now confident that KATL's record of 90 days of 90+ heat in one year (1980) will not be tied or broken. I think we are at 89 days for Atlanta and there are no signs of 90+ temps returning. Summer's over!!!! Bring on Fall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATL_Militarypolice Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 66 degrees this afternoon. Fall is in the air guys. Other than the mostly cloudy skies this is my kind of weather 65-70 and breezy. Think I ended up with around .40" from Lee. Definitely not what I was expecting, but I'll take it. You guys and girls have a good day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Had some very light, spotty drizzle for a few hours after noon, but now the sun is poking out occasionally. It's 61.8, but don't expect even low 60's to last if the sun makes it out full. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 61 degrees as of 330 pm !!! I'm so glad fall weather is here. I don't even mind the cloudy weather. Looking forward to those beautiful fall days with sunny skies and low humidity ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCoWx Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'm glad you all got it..still in the upper 80's with tropical humidity and looking that way for the next week or more here in southern VA...just doesn't make good sense for Hot-lanta to be so cool and for here to be so uncomfortable..

Probably has something to do with Atlanta being 200 miles inland and 1000 foot further above sea level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Probably has something to do with Atlanta being 200 miles inland and 1000 foot further above sea level. In this case it is the placement of the weather features. The air direction in Atlanta is coming from the north the air direction in SE Vir is coming from the south. **interesting setup - temps in Winston Salem NC have dropped into the low 60s; temps in SE NC still above 80.

jrips27 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Feels fantastic out there! Went to the race today at Atlanta Motor Speedway where it felt great. Even though there was a little drizzle and wind. Looks like fall is in the air and the summer heat has been beaten. Thank you Lee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sold on that idea of 90oF heat returning. Maybe 1 or 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 The next several days will feel downright good, especially tomorrow where highs around here may only end up in the upper 70s! Great stuff and gives one a sense of Fall gradually coming closer. Only 3 weeks and 2 days until we start getting into holiday months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a couple February's ago during the that snowstorm he said he'll be surprised if half an inch falls north of Macon... I got 4" from that storm lol. Great day today didn't hit 70.

dsaur Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Think my bet will be on Ken with this one. I had a 77.1 in the middle of July, followed by 4 days in the 80's, then a million days in the 90's. It will take more than a cool front and a trop. storm to convince me the heat is gone. Already building back into Texas. I expect to see another weeks worth of 90's down here. Hope I'm wrong. Can't sleet when it's 90 60 at present...another 3 sheeter tonight if I turn the fan on. Mmmmmmmgoood. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
