Gastonwxman Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Only got .51" for yesterday's rain but not too bad I suppose. Dropped down to 38 for the low and have only rebounded to 51 so unless the clouds break enough, I don't foresee the forecasted high of 62 around here. Winds haven't been all that gusty (16 mph max so far). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Impressive! KATL's low turned out to be 43. So, GFS MeteoStar did end up 4 too cold....no surprise. Today, the 6Z GFS based on MeteoStar is going for a high of 58, which is very believable, and a low of 38 tonight. KSAV got down to 46 this morning, which is only about one warmer than MeteoStar had. Tonight it is projecting 41. Folks, KATL is very near the 12Z GFS Meteostar output. So, I expect its high to be ~58. OTOH, and not surprisingly, KSAV's MeteoStar is running ~5 too cold. It had a high of only 60 and it was already 62 at 1 PM. Expect it to top out near 65-67. I'm really looking forward to my walk today here in Savannah! It should be so refreshing and keep me quite content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Only 58 for the high today but the wind made it feel worse than that; almost a cold winter-like day. Max wind gust out of the north at 20 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 It was an impressively chilly 40 in Sav. this AM, which is one colder than MeteoStar. OTOH, Atl. stations were in low 40's vs. MStar's high 30's. Three cheers for Sav. and a boo for Atl. lol. Another glorious day in store! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Got lucky last night as the winds stayed up all night for the most part and only had a low of 38 with no frost. FFC got it right this time and admittedly i was wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I pulled another 38.4. Yesterday about 10:30 the Experiment Station measured winds at 31 mph. and that was about the time a pine came down in my drive. I heard it go, but not hit the ground. Went out to find it hung up over the drive. Had to play lumber jack/arborist all afternoon It was a great day for it. Too bad we couldn't have had some more days like that during the winter, lol.

Gastonwxman Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Managed to reach 32 for the low this morning and rebounded to 64. Despite another round of gusty winds to contend with it felt somewhat nicer than yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Currently mostly cloudy. Was a another cold windy and rainy day.

WilkesboroDude Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Blacksburg Virginia 137 am EDT Wednesday Apr 25 2012 Near term /through today/... WRF showing a consistent shower threat this morning across the far SW Virginia/northwest NC County Warning Area...and have bumped probability of precipitation up to account for this...and carry it longer into the morning. Would not be out of the realm of possibility to see snow on the highest ridges like Montana Rogers or Beech Mountain...but nothing accumulating.

Met1985 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Major wind,rain,lightning,and hail. WIth that storm. Wind blew down some big branches. Rain washed the drive and we had pea size hail and the lightning is still hitting very close. Looks like a good soaking behind this squall line.

seaduck Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Yes this was a strong squall line. The wind shear that hit right at the start leveled trees and took the furniture right off my deck. This was heavy teak furniture.....I'm just under the BR Parkway at 3300 feet. Guess I'll be cleaning up after this moves on out of here in a few hours.

Solak Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Missed this mornings' storms, but saw plenty of lightning from them. Now it looks like we're just going to get grazed by the bottom edge of this line passing through... Wondering how much this will stabilize the atmosphere for possible storms later in the day?

I think it depends on how long it takes for this line to go through. I think it could actually make it worse for this afternoon if it clears up quickly because the air will be more humid from this round of storms.
