mackerel_sky Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Think we need to get used to this weather. This will be a very dry and hot summer I'm afraid. The years 1993,1999, and 2007 all look like good matches for how this summer works out.I've been assured several times already that there is a moderate , atleast, El Niño developing, so summer can't and won't be hot and dry! I'm starting to doubt that very seriously ! 7-10 days of 90s in a row, followed by 2 days of hit and miss afternoon storms , is gonna be hot and dry summer. This pattern seems locked in. Backdoor fronts every week or so, a day or two of below or normal temps, then a week of above normal temps, rinse repeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'dry line' is off the mountains into the bottom of the lee. Moisture reforms in central Carolinas again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Just saw this on Twitter... Central NC (RAH) ranks #5 right now in Tornado warnings to date. I wonder what's the story on the Cleveland, Ohio, area. I never imagined they would have that many tornado warnings up near the Great Lakes.

Solak Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with the extended ice coverage on the lakes this Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Judging from the blobs on the car this morning, we were assaulted by a rogue sprinkle this morning. Barely enough to call it a trace, but it was a trace nontheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 6.55" this month. lol. Dryish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Actually, now that I finally made it outside, there is a heavy drizzle! It will mitigate the tstorm activity, unless clouds break soon, but all day drizzle probably results in the same outcome as a 20 min downpour!

mackerel_sky Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Sunny and thunder with winds gusting over 40mph.Looks like all your crying finally paid off! Getting hammered and a big complex heading in from the north! 83 and no rain in sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Let's see if round two can produce! The complex from earlier Mackerel only gave us 0.08 while the typical areas got 1-2 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 It looks like the gfs is taking the rain for late next week away as well, keeping it all in the mountains. Probably at least 10 days before we get any good chance for rain outside the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 0.72 for the day. The second round gave us most of this. Ended the month at 5.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must not live in downtown Waycross , because that first cell was right over Waycross proper! 71 and dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the storm was 1.4 miles further S, we would have received 1-3 inches. I used radarscope for the 1.4 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
