tombo82685 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 well you should have a pretty good idea out on the course this morning, DP's are nasty right now, bet it's been awhile since we've had them in the upper 70's most of the hot weather the past few yrs has been in conjunction with much lower DP's than we've experienced this summer The course dp is 80 right now. I'm talking 82dp with 100 degree temps. While yest it got close to 100 the dp was "only" 74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiburon Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 So, I corrected my station's dewpoint -3F to better correlate with surrounding areas. Currently, as I'm leaving for work at 8:41am, I have 87/78 (which is a CORRECTED reading), HI 99. I think we make a run at 100F today. Isn't the old rule of thumb if you make 90F by 11:00am you've got a shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Got really busy relaying weather reports for Skywarn for Camden County. So, didn't even get a chance to post here. Using GRLevel 3 radar, the tops on these storms got into the 50,000 foot range. Tops on these storms were up to 52,000 feet at one point right over Lindenwold in Camden County. I didn't get much in the way of those strong damaging winds as reported below, but the lightning was incredible.

Pellice Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 That's IT??? Break the heatwave? It was 75 when I woke up at 5:15, the same as yesterday. The sun looks like a thermonuclear reaction as it boils up in the sky. I am a lover of heat and humidity, but this week broke me. I have all this gardening and cooking and cleaning that I've been saving up for today. And the sky is clearer than it was yesterday morning, so I assume temps will zoom up even faster. I think the language around this should have been "will provide very slight relief" not "break the heatwave." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
