No snow for you Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 In addition to the point made by Griteater, the shortening of the wavelengths of the jet stream in the summer can give different results for the same teleconnection in the summer than they would in winter. Thanks as well UNCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Maybe there will be some storms around here today. WRAL says there is a chance. A front will slip across the border from Virginia and give us a chance of storms from the Triangle north and east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Here is what Robert had to say about Upstate SC rain chances.... WxSouth zero to none really in sight. Your area looks the driest in the eastern US for the Summer....pretty much continuing the last 2 months. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Here is what Robert had to say about Upstate SC rain chances.... Sorry for the dumb question, but exactly which part of SC is the upstate? Is it a specific geographical area or is it more subjective in nature? If you could post a map with a circle on it or something, that would help me, if it's not too much trouble.

Yeah last year wasn't great, but he kind of has his own niche and specialty patterns/systems he is great at forecasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Looking at the GFS we may have a shot next week for some rain. Meh, still looks about how it has looked for the last few months. Maybe a tenth or 2 being shown in the lee, but the GFS can't pinpoint isolated to scattered tstorms accurately. Well, neither can the hires models either really.

Isopycnic Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Here is what Robert had to say about Upstate SC rain chances....kiss of death. Probably flood for the next 2 months up there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Thats the GSP coverage area. Not all of that is considered the "upstate" Yeah, like I said it varies between sources. Here is another map. Not sure if I would consider York part of the midlands or McCormick part of the upstate, but it's semantics really. Generally speaking I would say the counties on either side of 85 are considered upstate. I hear it further divided into Northern Upstate and Southern Upstate sometimes.

McCormick county is generally part of the Midlands, but that map is more accurate. Edit. I saw your comment about McCormick. I think they should create a new zone with York, Chester, Lancaster, and Chesterfield counties. Maybe the Olde English district. Orangeburg and Calhoun are definite Midlands counties.

Brick Tamland Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 WRAL Mike Maze Showers and some storms are popping up this afternoon where we thought we would see them. The region from the Triangle area and north into Virginia has a slim risk for some strong to severe storms into the early evening hours. the front that is producing these storms dips into the state tomorrow, so in theory storms should still be possible Saturday.

mackerel_sky Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 WxSouth had a post on Facebook today, basically saying, the pattern is repeating and what we've had the last month or two, will continue as well as 95+ degree temps and no rain in sight! He will nail this, I'm sure, his snow predictions are a little off from time to time ! I wish he'd wish a historic rainfall on us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I'm wondering why I even bother looking at the forecast anymore. I already know what it is going to happen. Hot and dry through the week, every week. The only thing missing this summer are 105°+ temperatures like a couple years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
