snownut Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 What happened to the "Big Wet 2013" which continues to greet us each time?? 3-5" area wide forecasted, all kinds of flood watches and warnings and the bulk of it ends up 2-300 miles further west. Agree, except there looks like much more east too? Had .12 of sprinkles the past week, 100% bust forecast here, maybe running sprinkler soon?

Fozz Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Heat index about 121 degrees....... That's Death Valley bad and I'm not exaggerating, because since it's so dry there, a 125 degree day may have the exact same heat index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is down here and south.... 3.39" from 7am yesterday-7am this am, 4.45" for month now. Wet, wet, wet. Roanoke and Blacksburg setting record rain amounts for dates in past 48 hours.

H2O Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Only a couple clouds here on the eastern shore. Looks great for playing on the beach, cooking out and lighting some fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Only a couple clouds here on the eastern shore. Looks great for playing on the beach, cooking out and lighting some fireworks. Sounds pretty sweet wx out there, enjoy. Sun was out this morning here in Roanoke, but clouds playing hid n seek with it. Time to head further SW towards Bristol, TN and to WNC Happy July 4th everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 So it looks like SNE is getting a major heat wave with a 100+ degree heat index while most of us aren't even hitting 90. Makes me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Oh goody! Just what we needed...more rain. Well, at least we had a 5 hour break! Blacksburg radar is down, has been for a while anything showing national or regional in area is 10x worse than showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me lol My gf and I are in NYC for the fireworks and O's games this weekend and even tho there's a heat advisory, it's beautiful out. When it comes to heat, no one is as good as the swamp of the MA. Wimps here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 main plus today is very clear skies compared to norm in july.. pure tropical airmass instead of continental crap. Why is tropical humid airmass less hazy than a continental one? I can't rationalize why that would be the case even though I know it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 FWIW, we are effectively radar blind to our south. Both Wakefield and Blacksburg radar's are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm beginning to wonder what combination of cosmic events must occur in order for it to rain IMBY. I don't know if anyone has ever bothered to record the number of consecutive days of 70F+ dewpoints with no significant rain, but I'm pretty sure I've got the record. Happy 4th everybody!

Good fireworks viewing. Awesome week if you like a continuous hodge podge of events. If we didn't have cloud cover I would have been toast on the the lake.
