Solak Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Outflow came through around 7:00, wind picked up from the NW, blowing in at about 5 mph (yes, 5) for almost 7 seconds , then the line exploded about 7 miles away to the SE and E. Miss the rain, but not the wind or hail. Still have an 80' pine that came down last week to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Wow, line completely fell apart right before it got to us. Only .07 fell but it did drop the temp down to 76. from the low 80's. Maybe tomorrow we will have better luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airport 2 miles away got .49" in one 30 minute span. 2 inches or more 6 miles East in Smithfield. Lightning was quite intense here in 40/42 area as I was going to bed last night, but I don't think it rained too much here either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapper Jim Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 91... Dry & Crusty. Looks same as yesterday, and the days before. Charlotte looks "in line" again. Few and far between.

SharonA Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Nice gusting - albeit a bit on the warm side - coming from the cells popping up over Haralson & Carroll Counties. I won't complain about a bit more rain if the cells decide to move a smidge more E than the current track anticipates ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 It hasn't rained in like 10 days. The skies are still healing from the destructive storm we saw. 97 and sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapper Jim Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 It hasn't rained in like 10 days. The skies are still healing from the destructive storm we saw. 97 and sunny. I'm not gonna use the "D word". Just finished watering some suffering plants. Last time I witnessed it this dry was the last "major" SE drought. Creek bed behind my house... ...1st time ever (after 30+ years) went completely dry. 2000ish? Late 90's? Hiked back then. All the streams, everywhere in vicinity, were dry. Catawba, near hwy 16... Mountain Island was "silly low". Place I grew up swimming... a long cove off Mountain Island Dam was completely empty. Surreal, it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Lol its 99 degrees outside. Crapper Jim, I believe the last major drought was 2012. Beryl and Debby eliminated the drought in SGA and FL, while everyone else was still suffering from the drought conditions. Edit: Temperature dropped to 83. No rain. Just strong winds. This is bull. We have had storms in the forecast forever, and only picked up decent rain twice. Then you have areas all around, especially Savannah area, everywhere in FL, basically everywhere but Waycross, Blackshear, and Douglas, that get good storms every day.

NCsandhills Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Just had some evil wind. No rain or thunder, but hardcore wind...it blew my little pots of peppers off the railing, blew the bigger flower pots off the railing and broke my gigantic tomato plant in half I finally was able to make the tomato plant stand back up with some stakes, but it is a pretty bad break. I am hoping it doesn't die, it has a few nice big green tomatoes growing Not cool, wind. Not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Fringed again with another trace. At least this time we didn't miss out on a big storm like yesterday. Still would have been nice to pick up 1/4" the surrounding areas received. If there is one thing that is certain, it is we are always close to a nice rain. Now if we could get more than one good rain every 2 weeks we would be in business. The last 2 months we have had 30% pops just about everyday but we have only received significant rainfall 4 times. That comes out to 6.67%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Currently 90. One big storm to my N . Got 25 to 1 odds it falls apart before it gets here! Bingo! Got zilch! Heard 4 rumbles of thunder and not 1drop of rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 OK - that's a little better. A rumble or 2 of thunder, a couple hours of showers, and .30" and counting in the gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 No rain since the 16th. I think many places just north, south, east, and west of here have gotten at least something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCsandhills Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 We've had 1.07" in the past 7 days, so at least we aren;t totally bone dry like others...looks like it might storm tonight, too.

buckeyefan1 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 H O T CAE is +3 for the month temp wise and -2.22 in the precip dept. Not a drop of rain for the past 10 days......sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Currently 91 with a dew point of 78. Very muggy out. Now I am just waiting for the storms to start firing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Interesting that the mesoscale discussion talks about a possible watch in NC and SC when the atmosphere is much more moist and unstable in SE GA compared to up there. CAPE values are 5000 J/KG here vs 4000 J/KG up there. Everything else is higher as well. 95, sunny, hot, and dry. There is a fire south of here. I can see it on radar.

sparklecity Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Traced again earlier by a popcorn shower. Huge drops of rain but only enough to wet the ground. 92, hot, dry, and miserable. Summer has only begun and I'm already counting down the days to cooler weather and winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Four days in a row of "measurable" rainfall. The past three days have all been less than 0.10 inch, though. Today was the jackpot with 0.20 inch of rainfall making it to MBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
