mattie g Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hottest week of the year so far and we can't get any meaningful rain to end it. Can't wait to check my brand-spankin' new rain gauge. I'm in the mood to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I've the deck has been wet at all in well over a week. Wow, you all need to move south! I've had rain everyday this month except this 16th, and it has rained today too. Sitting at 6.81 for month, many locations closer to Roanoke at 10+. This after a 8.88 month for June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I've given up hope of it raining here. It's nice to see the DP above 70F yet again (sarcasm), at least we can keep our streak of 70F+ dews without a drop or rain intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 5% wind added again on 1630z OTLK ..MID ATLANTIC WEAK HEIGHT FALLS AND POCKETS OF STRONGER HEATING/DESTABILIZATION MAY LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN TSTM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON FROM NEAR MD/PA BORDER TO POINTS SOUTH AND EAST. NEARLY MOIST ADIABATIC LAPSE RATES MAY LIMIT OVERALL STORM INTENSITY BUT BACKGROUND ASCENT AND SOME INCREASE IN MID-LEVEL FLOW TO ABOUT 30KT MAY RESULT IN A SCATTERING WIND DAMAGE/TREE DOWN EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD OF PEAK HEATING THIS AFTERNOON.

usedtobe Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 most runs arent even pumping out much today at this pt. tho with the vortmax pushing in seems we should get something.. but it is moving pretty slow. I think for mby this is a better shot a decent rain than yesterday though I did squeeze out .16" from a isolated cell yesterday. I like having a vort, albeit a weak one approaching.

snownut Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 happy this will be my last humid plus 90 day for a while as we vacation to the PNW tomorrow... so looking forward to the crystal clear lake water, DP's in the 20's, bright sunny afternoons in the 80's and lows in the 40's that is my idea summer weather. I'll be checking my PWS back here to see if the DP gets into the 50's later this week as forecast by someone from the forum last week, does look like it gets "nicer" here for a few days at least.

Herb@MAWS Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Excellent pop-up downpour on east end of Columbia at 4:45pm. High today was 91.1 and down to 90.0 with showers ongoing.
