MotoWeatherman Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I am running 6 degrees ahead of yesterday. Already at 99.7. All time of 103 for dahlonega looks to be in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I am at 97. Five degrees higher than yesterday at this time even with more cloud cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 CAPE is off the chart over eastern NC today. The gfs is also hinting at another MCS complex heading over the ohio valley this evening. We are primed for a MCS here just need those cells coming outta SW VA to do their thing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hiya Lookout I sure hope this winter doesn't resemble anything like last year CAE's record for today is 103 and I'm sure it will be shattered. I just hope the MCS sets up in a favorable place to give us some rain and cool things off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullCityWx Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 We've managed to somehow be more humid than Miami and hotter than Phoenix. How is that even a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxictwister00 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 100 with a heat index of 101. Humidity is 29% and the DP is 62. Hartsfield is reporting 102 as of 12:52pm, are we going to once again challenge an all time record high we just broke yesterday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormsfury Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I was afraid of this as the high begins to retrograde slightly that the NW flow aloft could intensify, thus further mixing especially N GA and upstate SC. the temperatures in KCHS are hot, not mind-shattering but the DP's are 80. at noon, KCHS 93, but an 80 DP yielded a 112 heat index. Insane. Also KCHS will be doing a special 18z upper air sounding because of the potential SVR WX should the cap break. the windex totals are over 60, with DCAPES in excess of 2000 J/KG, along with expected CAPES of close to 7000 J/KG, and MUCAPES around 5000 J/KG. Extreme Lapse rates as much as 9C from 700-500mb could yield extremely violent thunderstorms should convection initiate and subsequently generate cold pools.

I just hope the MCS sets up in a favorable place to give us some rain and cool things off. She said hey to me finally! lol If we have another winer like last year, I think I might jump off a cliff lol. Athens has already shattered it's record high for today which was 103. I have no doubt Columbia will break theirs too. GSP is also at 104 so their all time record is in serious jeopardy. Amazing, Athens, Ga is already reporting 105 and its not even 1:00PM yet. This airmass is relentless......not that a few degrees matter, but good thing the Peachtree Road Race wasn't this weekend! Athens might break their all time record....again LOL. As of just a minute ago, I'm now 106 even. Washington is also 106. Unreal. Atlanta is already at 102 and they might break their all time record again too. Ironic we are seeing these types of temps when today was supposed to be a bit cooler..and I thought it would be too with mostly cloudy skies for a while this morning. That said i have no idea what FFC is thinking with their 12:18pm update. " MAX TEMPS LOOK REASONABLE AT ONLY SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN THE EXTREME LEVELS SET YESTERDAY." If I'm reading that right, they still think it will be a few degrees cooler than yesterday. okey dokey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are thinking clouds will build up and bring temps down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxictwister00 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I don't know what FFC is talking about, there's obviously some mixing going on now since the humidity has steadily fallen to 28%along with the dewpoint still gradually decreasing. In addition to that, the clouds have been decreasing in coverage with every passing hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are thinking clouds will build up and bring temps down. I would be awfully surprised if clouds are able to develop soon enough to keep them from rising only a few more degrees. You can't dismiss temps being 3 to 5 degrees warmer vs yesterday at this time at a number of stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeznado Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think the reason the forecasts initially were a few degrees "cooler" today is some models' belief that there would be more clouds and maybe a thunderstorm. The NAM has storms but not the GFS or HRRR, no real sign of clouds here right now, maybe someone in GA will hit the 112 mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Only just hit 100 at 1:30. I don't know why my yard is cooler, but I like it. The Experiment station is already at 101.4. This is 19 days in a row without rain, so I sure hope those clouds up there decide to join together, and have a moisture party T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Man, the instability parameters are amazing, per the latest SPC Meso charts. 4500+ J ML Cape, -14 LI, etc.... That's pretty insane for this area. Looks like the MCS is getting it's act together just north of the Triad, moving SE. This could be a pretty rare one for some parts of the area when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, it's crazy. The southern part of the system prompting the warnings in the N Central Piedmont is not holding together. I wonder if our chances hinge on the evolution of that system or maybe something else later in the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
