It's 37 right now, which is 3 degrees lower than last night's low. I got .75 inches of rain in the last event. After the rain stopped last night about sundown, I made this photo of the mountains just to my north. The clouds and fog were so cool to watch. They don't call them The Smokies for nothing!

That is really nicely done! You ever do any hand tinting? Tony

Checking in with 28/25, cold night on tap! Dropped below freezing around 630, clam winds, clear skies, ideal conditions for radiational cooling. Made it up to 45 today, under full sun, and a biting wind. Wanted to get rid of some brush today, but decided to not burn because of the wind and low rh's. Quick modifying trend for the first half of the week, may hit 70 on Wednes :(

Dipped down to 30 last night in Mayretta.

Lower to upper 60's for highs forecast all week long into Friday here in Metro Atlanta. Lows forecast to not drop below 40 all week also with a night in the lower 50's. KATL is +4.1 for December as of today, temps day and night will be well above normal this week pushing that number even higher. December is turning out much warmer than I thought it would. I thought we would see slightly above normal temps but the warmer temps have been warmer than I imagined, but the cooler days and nights have been where I thought they would be.

Supposed to get to 37 tonight... already dropped to 34 for a bit, 'warmed' up to a current 36 :unsure:

LOL we dropped to 36 around 8:30 right before the wind kicked up from the S/SW and now we got 46, looks like your "favored low lying area" is really helping ya out.....48 at RDU.

Forecast low was 36 so they got it right even if it was only for 1 update cant see it dropping back down that cool with a 6-8 mph SW wind the rest of the night.

DAY 3 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

0230 AM CST TUE DEC 20 2011

VALID 221200Z - 231200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER A PORTION OF THE CNTRL

GULF COASTAL STATES...

...SYNOPSIS...

THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH NOW APPROACHING NRN BAJA AREA IS FORECAST TO

MOVE THROUGH TX WEDNESDAY...THEN RAPIDLY DEAMPLIFY THURSDAY AS IT

EJECTS NEWD THROUGH THE LOWER MS...TN AND OH VALLEYS IN RESPONSE TO

AN UPSTREAM WAVE THAT WILL DROP SWD INTO THE SWRN STATES.

QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT OVER THE SRN PORTION OF THE GULF COASTAL

STATES WILL LIKELY LIFT NWD AS A WARM FRONT AS WEAK SURFACE WAVE

LIFTS NEWD ALONG THE BOUNDARY IN RESPONSE TO THE EJECTING IMPULSE.

...GULF COASTAL STATES...

THE COLD FRONT NOW MOVING THROUGH TX WILL LIKELY BECOME STATIONARY

BEFORE PENETRATING THE GULF. AS A RESULT...THE GULF BOUNDARY LAYER

WILL UNDERGO SIGNIFICANT MODIFICATION WITH DEWPOINTS CLIMBING INTO

THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70 BY THURSDAY OVER THE N-CNTRL GULF. A SWLY

LLJ WILL STRENGTHEN AND SHIFT NEWD THROUGH THE GULF COASTAL STATES

IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE NEWD EJECTING WAVE. CYCLOGENESIS ALONG THE

FRONT WILL LIKELY REMAIN WEAK...GIVEN TENDENCY FOR EJECTING WAVE TO

UNDERGO RAPID DEAMPLIFICATION...WITH STRONGEST FORCING REMAINING IN

COOL SECTOR. DESPITE INFLUX OF RICH MOISTURE...INSTABILITY SHOULD

REMAIN MARGINAL DUE TO WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. WHERE BREAKS IN

LOW CLOUDS OCCUR...MLCAPE FROM 500-1000 J/KG WILL BE POSSIBLE IN

WARM SECTOR.

WIDESPREAD CONVECTION AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ONGOING EARLY

THURSDAY...MOSTLY WITHIN ZONE OF POST FRONTAL ISENTROPIC ASCENT FROM

SERN TX INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY. AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER

WARMS...POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR SURFACE BASED STORMS TO INTENSIFY

IN VICINITY OF FRONT AS WELL AS IN THE WARM SECTOR. LARGE LOW LEVEL

HODOGRAPHS AND STRONG EFFECTIVE SHEAR WILL EXIST ALONG TRACK OF THE

MIGRATORY LLJ WHICH WILL SUPPORT A RISK OF SUPERCELLS AND BOWING

SEGMENTS. ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND AND A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE THE

MAIN THREATS. WEAK LAPSE RATES AND TENDENCY FOR IMPULSE TO RAPIDLY

DEAMPLIFY COULD SERVE AS LIMITING FACTORS...BUT GIVEN STRENGTH OF

VERTICAL SHEAR AND POTENTIAL FOR RETURN OF RICHER GULF MOISTURE HAVE

INTRODUCED A CATEGORICAL RISK AREA.

..DIAL.. 12/20/2011
