jshetley Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Lame a$$ heatwave!!! GSP made it to 95, oh the humanity! Supposed to be the hottest day of the week, guess I survived this week, will see what happens next week with the torch showing on the models. The GFS has been awful with this heatwave in our area. We should have had 3 days of 100+ here, but we have not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Some of you have already mentioned a few of these, but here is what I found for the region for today: (Data from NWS at city airports) Boone 85 Asheville 89 Atlanta 94 Greenville (SC) 95 Winston Salem 96 Anderson 96 Greensboro 98 Athens 98 Charleston 99 Savannah 99 Myrtle Beach 99 Charlotte 99 Macon 99 Augusta 100 Wilmington 100 Raleigh Durham 100 Columbia 101 Florence 101 Orangeburg 101 Cola Owens 102 New Bern 102 Fayetville 102 Lumberton 103 I imagine there were some 103 and 104 readings somewhere, anyone see any higher official readings? Wunderground shows sumter at 106 today - not sure that is correct though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't complain, it could still happen . If I ever see 100 again it will be too soon!!! So far, we have escaped the brunt of this one, with the core starting 100 miles to our South and East. I am fine with that- but unfortunately, Summer begins next week Our 95 and under streak continues for another day, but WYFF is forecasting 98 tomorrow. Originally, Monday was supposed to be the hottest day, then Today, and now tomorrow. That seems to be the norm for heat waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the GFS will continue to be wrong like this for a while. The Euro showing high heat next week is worrisome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 As a rule you should take 1-5 degrees off whatever the GFS shows especially outside of 3-4 days for highs in these setups as it has a horrible warm bias, which many of us have been saying seemingly for nothing over and over again. It doesn't really matter we hit 102 on my porch today but the heat index never went over 105, yesterday we topped out at 99 on my porch but the heat index was 107 so it felt hotter yesterday. So whats worse 102 with a heat index of 105 or 99 with a heat index of 107? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'd still rather say it was 99 than 102, just a mental thing with that triple digit mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 A beautiful 73 degrees here in.......Harrisburg PA. I really thought those folks who gate checked their bags and had to wait in the tunnel in Charlotte today were going to pass out. Had to be 115 in that thing. You got off the plane and it was like walking into a blow torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Somehow i only managed 99 yesterday. HRRR, rap, and gfs are showing 100 here today. We'll see. 93 right now at 11:30. Also of note is how warm the gfs/nam are with lows for tonight in many areas, with low temps of around 80. Morning low today was 74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No snow for you Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I am just glad Weather Underground has a good sense of humor. It has total rain fall at -999.00 inches. I guess new models take into account evaporation of ground water. http://www.wunderground.com/weather-forecast/29605 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 It appears you are under a heat advisory for today. Yep and it's well deserved too. Finally hit 100..100.3 currently. Dp is 70 so have a heat index of around 107/108. Damn it's awful...like sticking your head in an oven as soon as you open the door. It's incredible how quickly you can become soaked in sweet in these conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks. 98F so far today(currently 97) here. Only good thing here is there is an explosion of big cumulous clouds just a few miles to the north and east. Weatherbug radar even shows a shower north of my location. Dewpoints strangely haven't been a big issue here with mainly low to mid 60s Dewpoints.
