CandymanColumbusGA Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Interesting fact of the day for Columbus, GA: Last June saw the first 8 days of June stay above 96 degrees°. This June? We've topped the 90 degree mark once, 91°, on June 3. In fact, last June saw only TWO days stay BELOW 92°! With rain moving in this weekend, it looks like we'll stay on the cooler side for the next week. Bring on the rain baby! I know some are complaining about the -NAO showing up now instead of during winter. Frankly, I'd rather have it now and spare us a brutal summer! That said, let's see if we can't get her to come around next January! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Wow, congrats to you too!! I hope one day to see above normal next to my name again, as opposed to abbi normal, lol. T It will happen Tony Not to worry. You will always have abnormal next to your name. so far this summer has been awesome! high yesterday was 77, followed by more rain last evening. almost 2.5" the last week or so - beats the last couple of summers but a long shot I have enjoyed this wonderful start to summer. I'll be glad when the flashbacks from the past few years of heat and drought finally stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Not to worry. You will always have abnormal next to your name. Lol, well, I'm tough and can take it. My eye doc friend tells me constantly, because I'm color blind, I'm defective. I think I'd rather be abnormal than defective Nothing defective about this day..abnormal maybe... wind out of the east. Low humidity. I'll take a month of these, then take more of the same for July, and Aug. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local Yokel Wx Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Looking forward to the quarter inch or more of rain today and possibly 1-2" over the next few days. Light rain right now, just started the event at my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Who wants a tropical system to deal with right after this? Me too! I always want tropical systems. I need a ton of rain to fill my lakes and the creeks around here are running very low. So even if I got 2 or 3 inches, I need a lot more. That said, the rain is certainly more tropical in nature as the radar is underestimating the rain it would seem. Even the lightest returns are fairly decent. Not too surprising with PWS around 1.7 inches per meso analysis here (quite a sharp contrast between here and the nc foothills/piedmont right now...0.80 over much nc..which of course will change quickly). And those amounts are expected to rise to near 2 inches later today/tonight (already around 1.8 inches around atlanta). So whatever is out there will be efficient rain producers. Despite how good the situation looks, I'm still afraid of being screwed giving what has happened here this year and the fact every time there are high POPS is when it seems to happen most (best rain I've gotten was when pops were in the 20 to 40% range). So I got my fingers crossed. But with such high chances and a slow moving system, it looks promising. Edit as of 11:18am. Looks like a large are of heavy rain is heading toward west georgia.(if it holds together, which I think it will)_ With pws that high, they should get some very good totals. Looks like this will mainly miss me (naturally), although I might get clipped. I just hope something forms just to the east tof it as we get a little bit of daytime heating. Temps however are only a few degrees warmer than here at 11 am but Visible shots show a few breaks in the clouds in central ga so we'll see.

metalicwx366 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Currently 77 and just finished raining. We've rained everyday since June 5th excluding June 8th. I see we are in a 2% tornado area, 5% wind and hail today. The sun is trying to come out. AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL 944 AM EDT SUN JUN 10 2012 ...SCATTERED STRONG AND ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE TODAY... ...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT STILL EXISTS ACROSS ENTIRE AREA... .UPDATE... OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS NOW NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA AND EXPECT MORE SIGNIFICANT HEATING TO TAKE PLACE ACROSS REGION TODAY MAINLY ACROSS NE FL WITH MAX TEMPS REACHING THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER ACROSS SE GA THIS MORNING BEFORE HEATING CREATES NUMEROUS SHOWERS WITH SCATTERED STRONG STORMS THIS AFTERNOON. PRECIPITABLE WATER AMOUNTS STILL CLOSE TO 2 INCHES WILL STILL LEAD TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL IN TSTM ACTIVITY BUT A FASTER STORM MOTION TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST AT 15 TO 20 MPH WILL PREVENT WIDESPREAD FLOODING. GUSTY WINDS TO 50-60 MPH...HAIL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH STORM ACTIVITY AND A FEW ISOLD SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AND WITH SURFACE HELICITY VALUES NEAR 200 M2/S2 AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. STORM ACTIVITY SHOULD FADE QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET WITH A GENERALLY DRY NIGHT EXPECTED AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH JUST A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS POSSIBLE CLOSER TO DEEP MOISTURE OVER INLAND SE GA AND THE SUWANNEE RIVER VALLEY.

LithiaWx Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 .55" from the batch last night. I REALLY like the trajectory of the rains coming out of the GoM.

DaculaWeather Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1111 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 1027 AM CDT SUN JUN 10 2012 AREAS AFFECTED...SRN/ERN AL...FL PNHDL AND PARTS OF WRN GA CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE VALID 101527Z - 101700Z PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT SUMMARY...IT IS NOT CERTAIN THAT A WW WILL BE NEEDED...PARTICULARLY IN THE NEAR TERM...BUT TRENDS ARE BEING MONITORED FOR AN INCREASING SEVERE THREAT THAT COULD REQUIRE A WW LATER THIS AFTERNOON. SEVERE PROBABILITIES WILL BE INCREASED TO A CATEGORICAL SLIGHT RISK IN THE UPCOMING 1630Z OUTLOOK FOR PORTIONS OF THE REGION. DISCUSSION...SATELLITE IMAGERY SUPPORTS MODEL PROGS IN SUGGESTING THAT ANOTHER MID-LEVEL CIRCULATION IS IN THE PROCESS OF GRADUALLY MIGRATING INLAND ACROSS LOUISIANA/MISSISSIPPI COASTAL AREAS. ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE...A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS SLOWLY INTENSIFYING EAST OF MOBILE BAY INTO THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO...WITH ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY EAST OF THE LINE...ALONG A ZONE OF ENHANCED LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE JUST INLAND OF THE COAST...ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHERN ALABAMA AND THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE. THE COASTAL CONVERGENCE ZONE...COUPLED WITH MODESTLY LARGE AND CLOCKWISE CURVED LOW-LEVEL HODOGRAPHS...MAY CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AT LEAST LOW POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED...BRIEF TORNADOES THROUGH THE MIDDAY HOURS. THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES APPEAR CHARACTERIZED BY A HIGH DEGREE OF SATURATION IN LOWER LEVELS...ALONG WITH SIZABLE CAPE. AND INLAND ADVECTION OF LOWER/MID 70S SURFACE DEW POINTS MAY CONTINUE ACROSS THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE THROUGH EASTERN ALABAMA AND WESTERN GEORGIA...AS A 30-40 KT SOUTHERLY 850 MB JET LIFTS NORTHWARD OUT OF THE GULF OF MEXICO. HEAVY PRECIPITATION LOADING AND THE DOWNWARD TRANSPORT OF HIGHER MOMENTUM AIR TO THE SURFACE MAY CONTRIBUTE TO A MORE SUBSTANTIVE RISK FOR POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS LATER THIS AFTERNOON... AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE ACROSS EASTERN ALABAMA AND WESTERN GEORGIA. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT THE RISK FOR TORNADOES COULD INCREASE...BOTH WITHIN THE LINE...AND IN A WEAK LOW-LEVEL WARM ADVECTION REGIME DEVELOPING NORTHEASTWARD JUST AHEAD OF IT.
