calculus1 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Let me go on the record by saying I'm tired of this fog and overcast along with escarpment. We have had it since Monday. I guess I'm a little weird (aren't we all), but the fog and clouds have made it seem like winter, so I've kind of enjoyed it. Obviously, the temps don't match winter temps, but it has seemed fitting for this time leading up to Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I've been getting intermittent very light showers. still stuck around 1.4 for the week, but my friend over on the east side of the county, has had over 2 inches. And I've had rain everyday, as the gfs implied last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 At the Savannah airport, the highest today was 82. That is 3 above the record for the date of 79 and tied for the third warmest in Dec. The warmest is 83, set twice. Savannah records go back to 1874. Yesterday was 80 and not quite a record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvskelton Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Moderate rain and a thunderstorm in Church Hill, TN around 7am this morning. Now in Kingsport, TN where there is light rain (no thunder). Currently at 58 F. Y'all in the path of this ice storm be safe today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCCatawba Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Look at Charlotte's low for Friday morning. If that isn't a record high minimum temperature then I bet it's pretty darn close. .http://www.wxjordan.com/images/homepagegraphics/2013December/4/Slide7.GIF Brad Panovich WCNC Charlotte only dropped to a low of 64° this morning setting a record max low. The previous record was 62° set in 1912. #cltwx Like · · Share · 7 · 5 minutes ago · Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Severe warned storm just to my south with winds in excess of 70mph and weak rotation. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Katl low only down to 69 so far but will have to see if that holds up. Between timing of cold front tonight and rain falling before, it will be difficult. However, if so, wow! In Savannah, good shot at record for date (80) and some shot at Dec. record of 83. Exciting times! Edit: 4/18-11/3 is the period for which katl has had lows of 69+ recorded. So, if somehow the low of 69 were to hold up at katl, it would be an amazing record. It would be over one month later than the previous record high low of 69!! I feel the odds are low at this time. If it can stay at 68, even that would tie the record highest low for all of December.

1234snow Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Had a nice thunderstorm this morning around 7:00-7:30 had some very heavy rain especially for December standards and gusty winds. Was quite surprised to see thunder and lightning this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Ok, so it is already 79 at 11 AM at Savannah with mostly sunny skies (only some thin cirrus overhead) and moderate/steady warm SW winds (no cooling influence from the nearby ocean). It has risen 9 just during the prior two hours. The alltime (since 1874) December high in Savannah is 83. Does anyone want to bet against it being tied or exceeded today? I'm not betting against it! **Edit: Savannah up to 81 at noon. Now only two from alltime Dec. record of 83 with mostly sunny and SW winds continuing! Going to be hard to not at least tie the record.

Cold Rain Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Fog finally lifted at Blowing Rock. You could barely see 20 yard in front of you, if you were here. I am here and could barely see 20 yards in front of me. That's how I know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
