Sunny and Warm Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 If you like rain sneak-up events, yes. BL's a b**ch for the Shore on this. I honestly see no chance for frozen out of that patch for anywhere in the Mt Holly area. Even the NC guy are giving up on it. I'm expecting 2-3" of rain today/tonight from it. We've been in a two year drought, so that's welcome news. As Ray said, it was further south and east earlier in the week, but two days ago, aligned to this position, and hasn't moved at all since. Since we're upon the event, I doubt any further changes really happen in nowcasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaoPos Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Jan 2000....................................... I'm like Steve buschemi from armegeddon when he goes nuts on the asteroid and Bruce Willis asks "what's wrong with you?!" rhetorically, and col. Sharp goes " He's got space dementia". But it's more like winter dementia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riptide Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 If you like rain sneak-up events, yes. BL's a b**ch for the Shore on this. Mount Holly also has rain in their grids for Monday's micro-clipper, not very bullish are they? Not without good reason of course, it is March...

Grothar Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 The first of many red flag days to come was issued for today. Its only going to get worse- Drought watch by Memorial Day for parts of our area appears to be a reality. The little rainfall we have had will not replenish the groundwater because we have had no snow cover this winter and what has fallen from the skies has ran off already. The streams are currently at base flow now and will continue to drop big time going into summer. The 90 day outlooks appear to be cool and damp but that does not mean s***. Cool and damp only gives us drizzle and cooler than normal days. I see us in a pattern like we are in now- 80 degree days for 2-3 days and 60 degree days for 4-5 days with little moisture falling upon us with the passing cool fronts. As long as the the GOM moisture is shut off in a dying La Nina Pattern going to neutral, the moisture influx to our area is gone. The only hope is a tropical moisture in August - October. Until then, we will rely thunderstorms scattered in nature. Severe weather is possible with each cool frontal passage but it will the hit quick or dying out t- storms. Some have posted of cloudy and dreary days to come- not good for outdoor activities but also not good for cutting into rainfall deficits. The stabilized atmosphere has been to hard to bust through with all precip events this past year and the the same pattern will go on. This weather pattern that will be going into will be like southern ca with cool and dreary mornings and warm afternoons. The only saving grace is if a stalled front in May hangs along the EC with s/w running along it. To me right now, thats like wishing for an HECS. Why should that happen now unless we go into a real deep -NAO which we have not had in almost a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Spring is fire season back there since you've got all that fresh litter from last fall, getting nice and warm in the spring sun before the trees leaf out, plus sometimes the DP's really drop behind cold fronts and it can get windy. Perfect for fires. Of course, all human-caused. Out here fire season is mid-late summer. Temps in the 90s almost every day, DP's in the 20s and 30s, and sometimes a breezy afternoon. Then add in a few dry thunderstorms. Boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Di Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Living in mushroom growing country, fire weather is always something we watch for. At least one or two manure\hay fires a season. Even without significant snow melt I cannot envision reading the word drought. My yard as well it still absolutely saturated. I do not recall it being this way for this long of time, ever.

Boch23 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The ground around my house is still wet and past couple rain events we have had darby creek has risen a foot or so each time, sometimes more. But I guess I'll have to watch out for tumble weeds this spring/summer since it will be so dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo82685 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The ground is going to be wet till we stop getting below freezing at night. The freeze thaw process itself makes the ground mush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
