audioguy3107 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I'm trying not to be a negative nancy, but with our track record the last year or so, I'll be really surprised if that complex makes it down here intact. I hope I'm wrong. Amazing another 100 degree day here in Atlanta though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I had storms all around the house today that for the most part missed us. I did pick up .1" and it was nice to see puddles for two days in a row. I would love a piece of the complex later. I love waking up to lightning and thunder late at night.

Solak Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Picked up .45" --- radar estimates are vastly overdone with their 1"+ around here. Back porch dropped from 102.9 to 76.6 in about 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Large hail storm just materialized over Lyman - literally the last radar frame. Marble sized. GSP hasn't even picked it up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I topped out at 95.6 on my hot sensor, and I'm at 92.4 now, and sunny at 6pm. Only got up to 93 on the other two. I'm happy about it too...Atl. can have all the hot records it wants T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Ridge Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 1.25" of rain from the MCS. Oh, yeah, and wind. Lots of wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I believe that makes 4 days of 100+ so far in Atlanta. Pretty incredible considering it's only July 5th. I can't remember the last time we had 4 days of 100+ by this date. At this rate we could have 15-20 days of 100+ by the end of summer. snowstorm, Good post. Even if you were 133 years old, you wouldn't remember it. That's because prior to 2012, there had not even been a year with just three 100+'s at KATL by 7/5 since records started in 1879! # of 100+'s as of 7/5 at KATL since 1879: 4: 2012 2: 1954, 1952, 1936, 1914 1: 1944, 1943, 1931, 1925 - So, prior to KATL hadn't even had ONE 100+ day this early since 1954!!! That makes 2012 truly amazing! Then again, we already knew that being that 2012 was special since it set the new record high 850 of +24.5 C (based on reanalysis going back to ~1950), replacing the previous high of +24 C. - Prior to 2012, all of the years with 100+ by 7/5 at KATL were within 1914-54, a rather narrow range of 41 years of the 133 year long record!! - There is even a shot at a 5th 100+ tomorrow at KATL! The record for highest # of 100+'s at KATL as of 7/6 was also only 2 prior to 2012. (I plan to repost the gist of this in the SE Heatwave 2012 thread for documentation purposes.)

Bevo Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 According to GSP, it's been sunny and 90 degrees in my area for the last 5 hours...too bad it's been storming and 72 degrees for the last 4. Winning again GSP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 .38" of needed rain this afternoon after topping out at 98.3. Even during the rain it never dropped below 80. Dew point got to 81.9 when the sun came out after the shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Once again...squat on the precip. Just .45" in the last 22 days and zip the last 3 despite the abundance of activity across north GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieBlizzard Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Fantastic line of storms through Adairsville now. Cooled the temperature from 92F to 69F in a matter of 15 minutes. About .50 inch or so of rain with a light rain continuing to fall. Best we have had in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Very, very windy with this storm that is blowing in here. Looks promising. I don't know if anyone in Atlanta noticed on the radar earlier but you could see two outflow boundaries colliding. One was heading NE and one NW. They met and a storm popped up. It looked like an explosion and you could see outflow spreading in all directions. I got some video that I hope to post of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Maybe my eyes are deceiving me but it looks like that storm in Bartow is breaking up just a bit. I doubt it makes it to I-20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yeah it doesn't even look like that line is going to make it here, much less I-20. No rain the last 13 days. Tony I need some mole mojo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Like next week's forecast looking like temps back to normal or even a bit below normal with onshore flow which should equal slow moving storms over much of the area, granted they will be hit or miss but hopefully everyone sees at least one or two of them over the period.....average high here for most of july is 90 so temps in the mid to upper 80's will actually make for below normal days here temp wise which will be much better than this crap we have had the last week or so.

Once again, the complex completely died out as it entered north Georgia despite 100 degree temps and plenty of instability. I really just can't ever remember a time when these systems just could not make it into our area. There has got to be some sort of precip shield or something. If you're not under a pop up storm, you're pretty much out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 No rain gleeping here, just watching as the worm has turned, Justin, I feel for you and your suffering, as I know it well. Meanwhile, I have picked up another .9 over the last few hours. Gets me up to 5.1 for the last 2 days. The Mole People have power, there can be no doubt. I don't understand how they generate micro climates from under the ground. All I can say is I invoked the Mole People, and whammo, 5 inches of rain, and no waiting. I'm already saving up for a snow mobile, lol. Can winter get here any faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 It has been a hell of a night here. We had an extremely strong gust front come through at about 7:30. Officially KCHA gusted to 48mph. 20000 people are without power, our largest outage since Tropical Storm Lee. Despite all of that damage, not a single drop of rain fell. It was just very strong dusty wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNCwx Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I hope things go with members of the board who suffered through this last round of storms yesterday evening. Several thousand people in the counties surrounding mine are without power right now. I was lucky and didn't get any wind or rain where I was, but it was all around me. All I got was a decent lightning show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Once again, sprinkles is all we could muster. screwed again last night here too...shocking I know. Outflow boundary from storms in the upstate/ne ga pushed through (was quite strong too..30mph gusts) and formed a severe storm just a few miles south of here (looked quite impressive too) Got nothing here as usual. What I wouldn't give for a hurricane or a stalled out tropical storm hitting the panhandle and moving into north central/nw ga. Only way I see I ever getting any rain at this point. Oh and hit 100 yesterday again...yet another "shocker". Only some early forming cumulus kept it from being hotter I'm sure since it's rare to see me and atlanta have the same high temperature.

FoothillsNC Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Got 1.85" yesterday in a storm with hail that lasted 7 to 10 minutes and lightning knocked the power out a few times. I had 1.80" fall in 30 minutes, flooded my driveway and ditches really quickly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc7_ypGdsTo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
