ALhurricane Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Considering regional soundings this morning showed mid level lapse rates of around 9 c/km, we should see many reports of both severe wind gusts and large hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Grandfather Mountain hit 82.7 degrees Saturday, just shy of the 83 degrees all time record.

Storm Clouds Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hey y'all! I'm from PA on vacation down in Hilton Head, SC until Saturday. Man is it hot outside even near the ocean and with the sea breeze! Is there any chance of storms forming down here later today/tonight? I would love to get some lightning pics over the ocean!

FallsLake Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I got around .2 inches from the passing storm. The amazing thing is being able to walk around outside at 3:30 with the temp at 77 degrees. I really worry that the sun will pop back out soon and push the temp back up (over 100 at 2pm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Fayetteville getting hit pretty hard at 2:45 and the ones really taken the hit at the moment are in southern Anson/Richmond/Scotland County right along NC/SC border highest DBZ shade possible. Also just noticed 2 new cells pop up coming down the escarpment. Amazing watching radar loop how these storms go from light green genesis to max dbz shaed in one 15 minute loop.

QVectorman Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 KATL at 105o at 3:52. Crazy hot again, but not enough to break the record. There's still time. It's a guessing game right now if it does or doesn't. But Friday's high wasn't recorded til 4:55 pm. Remember we're on daylight saving. So it's really 3 pm solar time when it's 4 EDT. Plus, solar noon is ~12:37 pm so a 3 hour lag time for maximum heating would really be 4:37 EDT. But obviously for today and yesterday the nuances of the time of max temp is dependent on mesoscale features/clouds/dewpoint advections/outflow etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Ridge Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 MRX leaving the door open for relief over the next several days: .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)...LITTLE CHANGE IN SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS THROUGH THE PERIOD. UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS SLIGHTLY SOUTH THROUGH THE PERIOD. PARTIAL THICKNESS VALUES LOWER SLIGHTLY. MCS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY ROLL SE ALONG THICKNESS PACKING AND AFFECT NORTHERN THIRD OF MRX CWA THROUGH THE PERIOD. MODELS DO NOT HAVE A HANDLE ON THIS IDEA AND PIN POINTING TIMING VERY DIFFICULT AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER EXPECT SOME STRONG CONVECTION AND DEBRIS CLOUDINESS ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS. THIS ALSO WILL AFFECT AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO TODAY. MOS TEMP GUIDANCE HAS BEEN UNDERESTIMATING THE WARMTH OF THIS AIRMASS. FORECAST GRIDS ARE A COUPLE DEGREES ABOVE GUIDANCE THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS CHALLENGES THE RECORD HIGHS FOR MONDAY JULY 2. CHA 99 TYS 98 TRI 97 ALL SET IN 1954. HEAT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED FOR THE CHATTANOOGA AREA MONDAY. ELSEWHERE HEAT INDICES ARE FORECAST JUST BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. WIDESPREAD 70S OVERNIGHT AND MID 90S TO 100 DURING THE DAY. LAYER MOISTURE INCREASES SO SPOTTY AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE EACH DAY. .LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES ARE EXPECTED TO TRACK OVER THE RIDGE BRINGING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. STILL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED FOR THE PERIOD. STAYED RELATIVELY CLOSE TO MEX/HPC GUIDANCE FOR TEMPERATURES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
