Solak Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Almost shut out yesterday - managed to pick up .02" last evening around 7:00. That puts us up to a whopping 1.36" for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Yesterday there was a 50% chance of rain and no storms popped up and today a 20% and storms everywhere. Currently pouring with the sun out after it was just 92/99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mencken_Fan Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 A 150-mile stretch of the North Carolina coast is now being raked by thunderstorms. Most unusual! Am so accustomed to seeing this on radar inland but not here on the coast. "Our" thunderstorm season has begun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesboroDude Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Going to heat up next week. Weather.com has Charlotte,NC going over 100 degrees by Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 My cousin Fanny Lou wants to get married, and her hair was sort of blond before the mange took it. I've got possums here, but I can never tell it they are dead. I got Fanny Lou to check last time, but that's how she got the mange. Nights are still coolish here. I was under two sheets and a blanket this morning as I didn't want to get up and turn off the fan. I don't mind a hot day as much when I get cool nights. Now if I can just get some dead possum rains!! T You're going to owe me big time. It's hard work making a TS and then turning it toward you despite NHC predictions for it to go west. I'm going to need another possum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 JB says the cool regime returns to the East by June 28. https://p.twimg.com/...EJKCMAAdJzf.jpg This forecast looks to be dead on. End of the week we are looking at highs in the mid to upper 90 approaching 100 around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I'll get you a barrel of blond possums, if you can make it rain in this desert! And now the heat is here at night too. But I can't discount your cool June up until now. Nice work.... but it could be getting rain down here is beyond your considerable skills. Still, I hold out hope, though you only have a week! And as long is it doesn't get to 100 by July 4th, I expect this won't be the worst summer of my imaginings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 90/72 is making for another hot day, but at least this afternoon I'm not sweltering at the ballfield like I was yesterday at this time Looks like there are some good thunder boomers just to my north and with any luck, one might find me before tonights ball game and cool things off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nchighcountrywx Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 New Davis Weatherlink observation station on Grandmother Mountain at 4600 feet. http://www.weatherlink.com/user/wunetv01/ This will come in handy to show the difference in temperature from 4600 feet to the Grandfather Summitt observation at 5600 feet. I have not been up to the Summitt on Grandmother Mountain yet to see if the anemometer has good clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that run, YIKES!!!! Atlanta hasn't hit 100 degrees or higher since August 2007 so I guess were due for it. Thank God for air conditioning! I'll never forget that heatwave, my first week of high school (freshman year) was during the peak of it. Having to walk to and from school in it was absolutely no fun. Unfortunately I'm concerned that kind of heat is going to put a strain on the power grids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that this could verify this time. 105 is hard to believe but 100 could be a target next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderhead Hawkins Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It hit 102 today at the airport in Muscle Shoals, Al. One degree shy of a record. I had 101 on my weather station. The humidity hasn't been all that bad. Dewpoint was only 51 earlier today so at least it isn't the "air you can wear" yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that this could verify this time. 105 is hard to believe but 100 could be a target next weekend. Locally, everyone seems to be staying conservative, only going about as high as the mid 90s from Thu-Mon. TWC is forecasting 99 Fri here, and Accuweather is forecasting 101 Sat. There seems to be some decent model agreement among the GFS/CMC/ECMWF on this heatwave so I agree it could verify this time around since it's not too far out from now.

CandymanColumbusGA Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 This forecast looks to be dead on. End of the week we are looking at highs in the mid to upper 90 approaching 100 around here. Your "kiss of death" post is turning out to be 100% accurate! The temps at 850 mb are incredible, a good 24+ C. You know it's bad when the Euro shows 2m temperatures in the 111+ range across Tennessee and Kentucky! I went ahead and forecasted the upper 90s for Friday and Saturday. I even told my viewers I didn't have the guts to put 100° for either of those days... Instead, I went 98. haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I saw that run, YIKES!!!! Atlanta hasn't hit 100 degrees or higher since August 2007 so I guess were due for it. Thank God for air conditioning! I'll never forget that heatwave, my first week of high school (freshman year) was during the peak of it. Having to walk to and from school in it was absolutely no fun. Unfortunately I'm concerned that kind of heat is going to put a strain on the power grids. It's amazing to me how hard it seems to be for Atlanta to hit 100, while it's so easy out here and many other places. With all the buildings, concrete, asphalt, heat island(starting warmer than most areas a lot of times), etc you would think it would be easy but they are always one of the coolest areas in any heat wave. Meanwhile, it's almost easy to hit 100 where I am. They are at a higher elevation but it shouldn't make that huge of a difference all the time, at least you would think. Plus it's actually annoying, in the summer and the winter (because they are never as cold at night as virtually everywhere else on calm nights). When people look back at the records, they always reference/look at Atl..when so many other areas of north ga are colder or hotter. So many times their temps don't accurately represent a lot, if not the majority, of north ga. Just a little pet peeve of mine, it's like no where else matters or something lol.

Solak Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 During the last 4 hours, we've gone from 30% to 40% to 50% chance of showers and storms for this afternoon, and there's hardly a decent cloud structure in most of NC, let alone the RAH forecast area. Hopefully something will fire as the cold front get closer, but I don't see anything at all happening for what's left of the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
