NRVwxfan. Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Have a few showers to my west, with an unusual movement. They are moving SE to NW! Must be SEasterly flow! Its the stupid SE ridge making a comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 MBY picked up a very unexpected 0.83 inch of rainfall this afternoon. A couple different torrential showers hovered over my neighborhood for an extended period. It felt very tropical, and it was very welcome. I've now picked up measurable rainfall each of the last four days here in May (including today), after not receiving anything in May before that. Quite the turnaround (about an inch and a half), and I am very thankful as the ground was quite parched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Started out this morning at 60. Felt good. Warmed up to the mid 80's and of course, no rain once again. Currently at 78, dew point 69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC_hailstorm Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 .26 for the month,grass is zapped. Anyone else drier than that?ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Had one last storm roll through slowly from SE to NW. A nightcap. It brought my one-day total to 1.23 inches of rainfall. I stand amazed. May the rest of you also find the rainfall your yards desperately need. Sorry, NC_hailstorm. I was in the exact same boat until yesterday. Since then, the faucet has been turned on, for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 .07" in the past 19 days. Yesterday was very interesting. Was warm and sweaty humid in the morning; by late afternoon, humidity had dropped to 33%, and the dewpoint dropped to 54°. Temp maxed at 86°, but the Heat Index was 'only' 84°. It was actually comfortable, even in the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Another warm and dry day here again. Sounding like a broken record. Currently at 83, dew point 68. Now at day 20 with no appreciable rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm standing in a rain shower of humidity! Ugh it feels horrible this morning. Hoping to see storms later today across the piedmont but those showers in the foothills seem awfully stationary. Need much more rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC_hailstorm Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 May 15 will beat August 07 if it doesn't rain today and that was a brutal month. Holding at .26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceagewhereartthou Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 May 15 will beat August 07 if it doesn't rain today and that was a brutal month. Holding at .26 uggghh, don't even mention that unspeakable month. Worst month of heat an misery EVER! For those of us in Easley, what a storm that was on Thursday evening, haven't seen a downpour like that in many a day. Over 4 inches in an hour and a half!

toxictwister00 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Wow, it's pouring like crazy outside right now. It's only been raining about 15-20 mins and the streets/front and backyard are already flooding pretty bad. We've had a few loud crackles of thunder as well. It was 83°F and cloudy right before it started raining. EDIT: Well, only 5 minutes later and it's over. Still some thunder lingering around though.

For those of us in Easley, what a storm that was on Thursday evening, haven't seen a downpour like that in many a day. Over 4 inches in an hour and a half! August 2007 didn't seem that bad to me. It was a very dry heat, low dewpoints. Summer 2010 was the most miserable summer I can ever remember. The humidity was unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Wow, it's pouring like crazy outside right now.

Excluding today, ATL has received 4.25" of rainfall since just 5/17. This, alone, is about 0.5" more than the normal for the entire month of May. This came after a very dry 5/1-16 (only a T). Very nice recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I wonder what effect, if any, el nino will have on the weather this summer ? I know El Nino tends to have an impact on hurricane activity, so I imagine it would have an effect on our weather also ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm sure Larry knows the answer to this, but I wonder what is the latest date for Atlanta's first 90 degree temp. It still hasn't hit 90 this year in Atlanta and usually there are one or two days in May where it hits 90. No 90's for the next week either.

April was extremely wet and May ended up being near average in most places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's still very dry in SC and I don't see this changing despite what forecasts and models say. Most of this state will be lucky to get .25 total in the next 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still hasn't hit 90 this year in Atlanta and usually there are one or two days in May where it hits 90. No 90's for the next week either. KATL based on official records that started in 1879: 1. Latest 1st 90+: 7/28 (1961) (no El Nino) 2nd latest 90+: 7/24/1884 (oncoming weak El Nino) Next ones (none of these El Nino): 7/20/1912, 7/10/1910, 7/9/2001, 7/8/2003, 7/2/1973 2. - So, 7 times there was no 90+ by 6/30..so chance of that ~5% - 68 of 136 Mays had no 90+ (50% of them)..so not at all usual to not have a 90+ in May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Last day of May is like every day this past week, warm and dry. Currently 86, dew point 70. A few storms have popped up west of here but they are moving North. Doesn't look good for us. Rainfall for the month is sitting at 2.74". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Nice slow moving storm just to my east moving northish but I did have a light shower right overhead here is the storm I am underneath the lighter shower closer to Greenville the picture is the heavier return to the SE obviously, its fun when you get a good look at isolated showers on radar that you can see visually outside, it helps to gauge how close things are radar wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
