NRVwxfan. Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Not by our standards....kinda dry RH is around 50, DP is upper 60's and there is a breeze not to bad overall..... its worse when its 88-92 with upper 70's DP and 75% RH those days are the worst. I will take 100 anytime over that because usually if we hit 100 the RH and DP are lower and it actually feels 100-102 versus 110 on the other days. Got ya. It in the 70s here with hit and miss storms, so its pretty humind here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The new Euro still looks great for the next 10 days. It keeps the ULL in our parts for the better of the next several days then after that we could see some very nice air work in with a relatively cool shot from Canada to really push back any real significant heat for us.

Cold Rain Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Not sure where all the 100 degree talk is coming from, but if we're looking at the 12z GFS, you will not find an upper air pattern that supports any sort of widespread 100 degree days across the SE. What you will see is considerable troughing in the east and southeast, with widespread precipitation chances for most of the run. Only in the last frame of the run...at 384...will you find any semblance of broad-based ridging. And with soil moisture high and the ridging not optimally positioned for a heat wave, I'd seriously doubt any 100 degree readings (on more than an isolated basis) for the next 15 days at least, if the GFS is correct. (Incidentally, the Euro looks similar through 240). The first image shows the upper air pattern for the GFS at 24, 72, 144, and 192. The second shows the same at 240, 288, 324, and 384. I just took random samples that were illustrative of the pattern throughout the period, which shows no heat waves. I'm sorry about the colors. I don't know why it does that, but they're pretty terrible. Image 1: Image 2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 It looks wet on paper, but we will see how reality turns out .? For a wet period, there's nothing within 500 miles of me!! Maybe it will be diurnally driven!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 It's time for GSP to drop pops to 20% the rest of this evening. I also think the models are wrong about the rest of this week. Look at the radar from around Nashville TN and Columbus Miss on to the west. That's this week's weather for this area. Dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the radar from around Nashville TN and Columbus Miss on to the west. That's this week's weather for this area. Dry. You have an interesting approach to the NWS. When I see a forecast that I don't understand or doesn't seem to match current conditions, I tend to think, "GSP must know something of which I am unaware. Since they're the trained mets, they've probably got a pretty good handle on this." Your approach seems to be, "What is GSP thinking? They must be mad. How can they possibly produce this forecast with the current conditions?" It's just a totally different point of view... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about radar trends. i would never go over 20% in pops during the summer despite what any models are showing until the first few storms develop. Then you can raise the pops.

Brick Tamland Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I think the rain for this week is being overhyped. Yes, there will be some storms, but nothing widespread and only last for an hour and then move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I think the rain for this week is being overhyped. Yes, there will be some storms, but nothing widespread and only last for an hour and then move on. Based on what? The ULL that's bringing us the heavier precip Tues Wed Thur is just now moving into Western KY/TN. We won't feel it's affects until it slowly drifts closer; meanwhile, a front is sinking south through the mid-Atlantic states will become the focal point for more precipitation. Whoever got something in the Triangle today should consider it a bonus to the weeks' event still to unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I am getting tired of these storms turning out to be duds. I would rather have sunny and warm, but if we are going to get some storms at least be something worth while.

Looks like there's a line of storms incoming for Jonesville, SC... In fact, the coverage of storms has really ramped up over the last few hours.

LOL you wanna rethink this post????......also why would you look out west when the flow is coming from the S and SE, the flow will bring the moisture and the sun does the rest, add a ULL for some upper level cold air and it equals rain. This time of year you cant get a setup like this without widespread rain/storms....it doesn't mean everyone gets rain everyday but by the end of the week most of us will have seen it rain and rain quite a bit at that.

GSP has 20% pops. The ULL is off by hundreds of miles. The models are overdoing it again. They're as bad with rain and temps as with snow. If it's not raining at my house, then it's not raining and the models and NWS forecasters are wrong. It's 100f and dry. You know it is, man. Stop playing!
