wisconsinwx Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 99 and sunny. Tomorrow calls for a high of 100 and severe storms. Heat index will probably be near 120. And of course it won't rain. I see Waycross is currently 94/80 with a HI of 113. How common are 80F dewpoints in the South? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I see Waycross is currently 94/80 with a HI of 113. How common are 80F dewpoints in the South?Not very common, in fact they are rare. There is just something about this area that we get 80F dewpoints a few times in the Summer. It's nasty out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I see Waycross is currently 94/80 with a HI of 113. How common are 80F dewpoints in the South? 80º dewpoints do occur a just a bit more frequently than 113º temps in Georgia. As a point of reference, the all time record high temp in Georgia is 112º. However, faulty sensors occur with depressing regularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks Jburns for the better explanation. Dewpoint is now 81 and heat index is 116. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Cold front has definitely passed the mountains. Some of the higher elevations (> 5000..maybe lower) should have highs in the 50s the next few days. Great time to go camping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I see Waycross is currently 94/80 with a HI of 113. How common are 80F dewpoints in the South? Not very common, in fact they are rare.

As a point of reference, the all time record high temp in Georgia is 112º. However, faulty sensors occur with depressing regularity. Just to add that it is location dependent as well when talking about the south as a whole. The highest dewpoints you would ever see in places like Atlanta and Charlotte are something in the 73-74 range. The highest dewpoints normally occur in locations just inland of the coastline. Places like Waycross, GA and Hardeeville, SC know how to bring the heat and humidity. By contrast, places like Columbia, SC and Augusta, GA are normally slightly hotter, but with dewpoints slightly lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Currently 101 with a heat index of 115. We made it to the triple digits for the first to in 3 years. Edit: 102!!! Extremely hot and dry. Forecast today called for only 98. Yesterday they called for 100 for today. I'm guessing the very dry ground has to also play a factor in us getting this hot because we have had basically no rain this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 91, but it's a dry heat! Lol If you look at accuweather forecast for Tuesday, it actually on has one word- colder High of 82!!!!

metalicwx366 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Nice all the storms disappeared. (Like I didn't know that was going to happen.

Sitting at a cool 66 degrees this evening with clear skies. Pretty much unheard of for this time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGa Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 dropped to 57 last night imby - hard to believe we are in july and mid summer lol. temps already in the mid 60s. if we can get another good rain storm this weekend this will end up being one of the more active weeks for wx in ga, at least, during the summer in ages (not counting tropical systems of course, which never tend to happen any more it seems ha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
