Stormsfury Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Downtown Charleston at 89 degrees with the seabreeze is cooler than Boone, NC (90) up in the NC High Country. The dewpoint at waterfront park likely in the upper 70's to near 80 however, would still result in a heat index roughly from 104 to 106. Mt Pleasant's current DP is 79.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 104 at my house according to my expensive weather station but Glenn Burns insists that the high in Carrollton today was only 100.

Mencken_Fan Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 4PM Wilmington, NC: 99/70 with heat index of 106. Two degrees above the forecast high; and two degrees below the record high for this date. Based on the UNCW weather station a few blocks from my home (and more representative of Cape Fear in general being the ILM airport is in a swamp on the north side of town) we hovered in the 100-101F range most of the afternoon. The most notable aspect of today's weather was that I saw not a single cloud in the sky all day, and there was no sea breeze; in fact, there was barely any wind at all (typically about 4mph with a westerly component.) Definitely an odd day here on the cape but not a record breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 hard to believe its 90 in boone! also hard to believe its 101 here, 100 in clayton/rabun county, 103 in demorest and cleveland and 102 at tallula falls (and the list goes on). i have not seen widespread temps this high in the mtns of n and ne ga since 2003 (it wasnt that hot then, but thats when i came back to ga lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been having an argument on facebook lol. The "official" ob at Carrollton is the FAA AWOS which was 100 at 2015Z. Do you have a photo of your weather station? The stevenson screen (shelter), trees, buildings, etc... have a big impact on microclimate. The same questions need to be asked of the AWOS too as well as how often does the county maintain it.

Blue Ridge Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 As of 4:00 the Tri-Cities Airport has reached a whopping 102 degrees! This ties the All-Time record high set back in 1952. Probably one more hour left to set a new all-time record. Steady at 102 as of 5pm. We'll find out tonight if it crept higher during the hour.

Itunis Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 5pm obs... 107 AHN * 105 CSG ** 104 ATL * * 1 degree shy of tying all-time record ** All-time record high at Columbus (unofficial) If ATL is at 104 at 5pm then there's a solid chance that we tie the all time record today. Pretty impressive, and maybe tomorrow we have a shot at hitting 106. At least it's something to track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Well, my main sensor topped at 99.9,, and has backed to 99.3, but my other two are reading 99.5, and 101 .4, and the Experiment Station has 102 so I guess Larry doen't have to saute his shorts Still, I've seen much worse down here in past droughts, maybe the dry heat, and the wind makes it seem much less onerous than heat blasts in the past around here.

Calderon Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Nashville hit 109 between the hours and the sensor at BNA was hitting 110 occassionally but not for 5 minutes, so 109 if the official high right now. New all-time record achieved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calderon Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Wow, I didn't even realize that there was a 5-minute rule. yes, the ASOS temp reading is a 5 minute average. I can't tell you how many times when I was at NAS Jax (NIP) that jet exhaust swirled near the sensor and you'd get a ridiculous spike that'd fall right back. Still, 109 and Phoenix is still only 107. Absolutely amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandymanColumbusGA Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 So THAT'S what it's like to run in the desert.... Just ran 2 miles in 105 degree heat with a dew point of 59. Yes, 105 is the All-Time Record high for Columbus. I shudder to think what we reach tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calderon Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Impressive! How about the 113F at Symrna (KMQY).. is that legit or does that station read a little high? I received info back from the OHX office. The person that installed the ASOS there installed the temp sensor atop the equipment which results in readings 2-4 degree higher than what it's supposed to. 109-110 is likely the real high.

LithiaWx Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 As odd as this sounds.... enjoy this heat wave. It is historic. This will likely be the measuring stick against heat waves to happen around here for possibly decades. This has been pretty cool to track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 My oh my! 106.7° on my pws imby. It is sun aided but still it has to be 100° out there. Really hot for the mnts. this afternoon. Wind has gone from the NW to WSW in the last couple of hours & that did the trick i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion_NC_WX Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I ended up just shy of 100 degrees thanks to some clouds that held tough most of the day. However around 5 pm, the skies parted. As far as tomorrow goes, I don't see clouds being a factor, am expecting over 100 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozart Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 This will likely be the measuring stick against heat waves to happen around here for possibly decades. I hope so. Not to open a can of worms, but it seems extreme heat waves are becoming almost routine, every summer out-performing some recent memory. BTW, the MCS in WV is hauling buggy and looking interesting.
