mackerel_sky Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I think you enjoy being a contrarian, don't you? You seem to take the opposite viewpoint of MariettaWx (or anybody else who happens to post concerning GA weather recently) pretty much all the time, which is perfectly legal and all. I just find it interesting.. Yeah, I thought he only trolled during winter!? I see ATL to GSP getting 1-2 inches easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Speaking of precision, within the last few minutes an explosion of precision drop dropping has begun on radar, and over my house. The ability of the skies to squeeze the least amount of water out of the clouds, and still have it hit the ground is beyond precise. My guess is a one drop per square yard pattern. It dripped all night again last night and after a drippy morning, I had a clear day, yet managed the astounding total of 3 tenths. That's one night of constant rain yielding a mere .3, followed by another night of near constant rain yielding again a very precise .3 in liquid precip. While all around me are receiving rain in inches, and multiple inches, and there is much knashing of teeth, we in the cursed lands are dealing with water torture...and agonizing drip, drip, drip of next to nothing, lol. But, boy, is it cad cool. I'll take the cad rain dripping as long as I get the cad cool. We are getting the Nov cad in Aug, so I expect the first freeze in Sept. this year. I'm ready.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 the upped it to 4-5 and there will be two waves so this isnt an event stretched out over four days. i think that this is a pretty good crushing for GA. JMO. When will the first wave arrive ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLol that sounds like my backyard as well. Areas around have flood advisories and everything while we are just receiving light rain. First freeze in September sounds a bit too early lol. Some trees are already changing colors down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 When will the first wave arrive ? south georgia got crushed yesterday and today. you should probably look at a rainfall map. Also you should probably take up any issues you had with those totals or the language regarding the waves with the NWS. Although i do think they pretty much nailed it.

Chinook Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 3D isosurfaces of storms near VAX radar (Valdosta) and Jacksonville radar. There are actually some decent severe weather parameters in southern Georgia today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Well after 60's for highs the past couple of days, looks like next weekend we could be seeing the 90's unfortunately. Good news is Fall will only officially be a month away by that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is Fall will only officially be a month away by that point. And of course the sun angle is getting lower now which makes a late August or September heat a little more tolerable than earlier in the summer.

metalicwx366 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Surprised that temps have been near normal this year. Seemed like its been cooler than normal.It's referring to the state all together. Take S GA out and the state will be near 30-38 probably. This summer has been hotter than last year down here.

mackerel_sky Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 How were the winters cold and snow wise after the summers with back to back double digit monthly rainfall totals?

NCSNOW Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Dog Days weather I was dreading for the up coming weekend just got the boot per Raleigh NWS. Time is running out for any sultry weather lovers out there. We flip the Calendar to September in 11 days. OTHERWISE... SKIES SHOULD BECOME PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY FROM THENORTH SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS A LARGE EXPANSIVE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDSIN FROM THE NORTH. THIS HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BRING DRIER ANDCOOLER CONDITIONS DEEP INTO SC/GA BY SUNDAY... WITH THE LOW LEVELBOUNDARY BEING DISPLACED DEEP INTO FLORIDA (VERY ANOMALOUS PATTERNFOR AUGUST). HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD THEN MOVE OVER OUR REGION EARLYNEXT WEEK BRINGING MOSTLY CLEAR/MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS AND LOWRELATIVE HUMIDITIES FOR AUGUST. LOWS MAY DIP INTO THE MID TO UPPER50S ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES (LOWER TO MID 60S ELSEWHERE)... WITHHIGHS IN THE MID 80S SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

Even in the short term the temps have been pushed back a few degrees from the forecast made this weekend. My area was looking at 90(s) for highs, now its mid to upper 80s. Seems like the models are having a hard time with this (very anomalous) pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCMetroWinston Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 So, all the hype out the late return of widespread heat next week is moreso a Midwedt and Plains event? Tom Skilling is advertising a major pattern change next week that he says will bring heat to much of the nation until after Labor Day. He mentioned how a cooling Alaska and Arctic is flipping the pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 So, all the hype out the late return of widespread heat next week is moreso a Midwedt and Plains event? Tom Skilling is advertising a major pattern change next week that he says will bring heat to much of the nation until after Labor Day. He mentioned how a cooling Alaska and Arctic is flipping the pattern. The 06z GFS Ensemble does build a stout ridge centered over Kansas / Oklahoma by Sun-Mon, but the east coast remains in normal to below normal temperatures with a back door cold front dropping down into the SE as a trough exits off the NE coast. Thereafter, the ensembles work the Plains ridge into the western U.S. and we get right back into general troughing in the SE. It simply looks like it is going to be difficult to break down this summer pattern any time soon. Here's the 00z GFS Ensemble 850mb temperature anomaly map for Sunday, with the blue contours in the SE showing the below normal 850mb temps behind the cold front.
