calculus1 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I garnered 0.46 inch of rain when the line went through Hickory. Power flickered a couple of times, but no outage. I also checked my DP high for the day at it was 79 F. Didn't quite beat you mackerel_sky, but came close. At least I tied the hotbed of humidity that is known as Waycross! Wait...That's not a good thing, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 A sweet outflow boundary just passed thru from that duzy storm up Atl way. I'm headed out to hunt fish..hope it cool things off a bit on the lake. Figure I've got a two to three hour window before the lake gets scary with lightening.

a5ehren Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Fun quote from today's FFC disco Quote MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TODAY AND YESTERDAY IS THAT THERE IS NO APPARENT FEATURE TO INDUCE LIFTING. THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS THE CWA WAS WORKED OVER VERY WELL AND FEEL THIS IS MORE OF A RECUPERATING DAY WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION DUE TO LIFTING FROM DAYTIME HEATING.
