buckeyefan1 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Trace yesterday morning I'll be in your backyard Sunday-Friday so I'll make sure to bring the umbrella Pretty nasty out there today, DP in the mid 70's and temps in the low 90's suck. Lots of low level instability but like always no real trigger or shear to keep any storms going. Still should see some storms fire, and at least there is a breeze although it does not help much. I am ready for lows in the 40's lol. +1 2013 Versus 2012 Severe Weather Warnings Issued from NWS GSP (as of August 8th) Flash Flood Warnings 2013 (82) vs. 2012 (19) Tornado Warnings 2013 (47) vs. 2012 (13) Severe Thunderstorm Warnings 2013 (291) vs. 2012 (529) You've worked hard this year Another day in the 90's and no rain in mby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_hailstorm Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Strong storm pushed through a while ago,nothing severe. 1.04'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Strong storm went through Hickory a few hours back. I lost power for about 2 hours, which was the first only time in the two years that I've lived in this house. I enjoy those underground power lines. Neighbor lost a tree that fell right across his driveway. Been outside helping him chop it up so that he can get in and out of his driveway. It was an old Bradford pear that needed to have been brought down for a while. I suppose nature finally took its course. 1.92 inches of rainfall from that beast of a storm.

metalicwx366 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Not sure where the heat warnings are for here. TWC has a high of 98, 99, 98 for the next three days. They usually are only off my a degree or two with the forecast highs. The NWS on the other hand, is typically 4 or 5 degrees lower than the actual high. The reason their computed heat index is so low is because they always has the dewpoints 6+ lower than what they actually are. It's currently 83 with a heat index of 94 and dewpoint of 79. The 6am forecast said the dewpoint would be down to 73 and 71 at Noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 It's 90 with a dewpoint of 81 and heat index of 108. We have the hottest heat index in the country right now.The bullseye is right over us. Look over the country and didn't see any higher one. I'll stop now so you guys won't get annoyed of humidity posts (mackerel_sky). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Holy cow at the humidity here in the piedmont!! Just stepped outside and UGH! Looks like a quick jump in the lake before the rain and storms fire up. Jeez....you would think the bullseye for the national heat index is right over winston salem today! But I'm sure its hotter somewhere in eastern north carolina. Or maybe around Columbia. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just a nasty dew point. I am not envious in the least. I'd most likely be way cross if I was experiencing similar conditions right now; so, I congratulate you on your calm demeanor this morning.

mackerel_sky Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 91/74 for a 100 heat index. Nothing remarkable , but I am tired of it feeling like Waycross !! As long as it don't start looking like Waycross around here, we will be o k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 We maxed out at 97/115/79 about an hour ago. Then the temperature dropped to 82. Now it's 91 with a heat index of 111 and dewpoint of 81. That trace of rain made it disgusting outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Whats so special about Waycross that I dont know? Waycross, Homerville, Pearson all about the same... hot and sticky in the summer and mild/cool/cold durring the winter how ever your prespective is. Can't forget the Pinelands and Swamps. Anyway its been a wet summer between life and trying to maintain the lawn its almost impossible. Last few days the rain shield has been on.... storms all but here. Storms would aproach then like a flip of the switch covection would just to sprinkles from the leftover stratus. Heads up northern Durham and Raleigh got some storms heading that way. A little mini bow echo just blew threw with brief heavy rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waycross, Homerville, Pearson all about the same... hot and sticky in the summer and mild/cool/cold durring the winter how ever your prespective is. Can't forget the Pinelands and Swamps.Not really, we are almost always warmer than those areas. Valdosta and Waycross typically are the hottest places on GA. Everyday on the local on the 8s on TWC when they show the forecast highs for surrounding areas, Waycross and Valdosta are usually 5 degrees warmer than everywhere else.It's 93/99/70 in Pearson now. 93/103/74 in Homerville. It's 95/113/79 here. Big difference. We even had a 15 degree drop earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharonA Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Same ol' same ol' - hot and icky getting hotter and ickier until the afternoon thunderstorms pop out. Then if you're lucky you are nicely cooled down without too much wet. if you're not lucky you end up with minimal drop in the temp but even more humidity than before. Ugh. Yesterday I was directly under an updraft when the elevator started. Quite an impressive sight, and I made a few people at the gas station nervous with my staring straight up at the sky - they're very tornado-shy around here, we're only a handful of miles from the path of the F5 from the Birmingham outbreak last year.

metalicwx366 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Currently a record dewpoint of 83 now. I'm just saying it's a record because it's the highest I have ever seen before in the years I have been down here. Probably could have been higher sometime in the past when I wasn't down here. Air temp is 91 heat index is 114. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 97 with a heat index of 115 and dewpoint of 79. Going for 100 degrees. If we make it, it will be the first time since 2011 we hit 100. We have a SWS for heat. Not sure why they don't just go with a heat advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Just picked up a quick 0.56 inch of rain from a severe-warned storm. There appears to be more rain behind this, but I'm not sure it will hold together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Our dewpoint is at 83 again lol. 89/111/83. Can't wait for the low-mid 80s that are in the forecast this weekend with a good chance of thunderstorms starting Wednesday each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Another night of rain in the north central piedmont. Mainly elevated moderate rain. Storm cluster trying to get together as it moves just south of the VA border. Severe thunder storm warning could be possible in further east(Durham and Granville south and east). Alot of lightening to the west. Just looking at the radar appears to be 3 inflow boundiaires coming in the main axis. Edit. .45" last night.
