Solak Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 We peaked out at 97 with a max HI of 102 today. Currently 90/97. Wasn't a fun day to finish up the access ramp with more handrails and another 100+ pickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Picked up 0.11". Getting nickeled and dimed to death this summer. Those 1"+ storms are a rarity these days. There are signals of pattern change though so maybe we get some relief as we head into July. I don't know how much more of this heat I can stand. How did people survive (literally) without ac here? I'm pretty sure if a lived here before ac was around I couldn't have slept at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 We picked up .67" from that storm giving us .87" for the day. Although it bought the temp down a bit, the humidity before and after the storms were horrible and still are. Currently at 77, dew point 75.

calculus1 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 No hail as of yet, even though the STW says it could happen, but the wind is crazy outside right now. Heavy rainfall that blows around in sheets. Lots of lightning and thunder too. Really dark outside, but that may be due to the time of day. Man, my lawn needed this.

Hvward Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Not a drop here of course and not really looking for any over then next week either. It will take a tropical system to get a widespread rain event anywhere in the I-85 corridor. The 18z GFS says that our 50-70% pops for Sat are wrong. Maybe they should be 20% at best in upstate SC. I'll be shocked if we are not in the abnormally dry region when the drought monitor updates tomorrow. We will probably at least be in severe drought by summers' end.

Coach McGuirk Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Lightning hit my house last night. A spark came out of the door knob area and made a static electric pop then immediately BAM! I have lighting rods on top of the house. This is the second time in a year that I've noticed a point blank strike. It didn't mess up the computers at all as I was still typing.

Properly installed lightning rods can end up saving you a lot of money. The key words are, properly installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of the lightning rods man! Those things attract lightning! I had a neighbor who put lightning rods on his barn and the first summer his barn burned down due to a lightning strike.

frazdaddy Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 1.9 when I left for work and still raining moderately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Cluster sure did weaken a bunch since 5:00 --- we're getting an occasional sprinkle. Took a photo right at sunrise of some mammatus clouds on the leading edge of the approaching showers... something I always thought was usually connected to a departing storm - at least in my own observations.

GaWx Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The hot bias of last week's GFS and Euro runs is showing itself now. Although still nasty hot and humid, it isn't nearly as hot as predicted. Of course, nonsense like the GFS' 113 at CHS was immediately dismissed as hogwash. The Euro had +28 C at 850 in some spots, which will predictably verify as quite a bit too hot. Today in SAV there are lots of clouds and showers/storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Looks like we're going to peak at 93 today, but with it being more humid than past days(53%) , the HI is still a robust 102.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidreMann Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Stuff is starting to form in southern VA and the N piedmont. Now we have to see if it remains isolated or is the beginning of something bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 This has to be the most boringest weather on this entire planet of earth, unless hot weather is your thing. Currently 97°. Need to look up how many days in a row we have been over 95°. CAPE is between 2000 and 3000 in the upstate, but substantially lower in the mountains. Doubt we see any storms come off the mountains today. There is a spot in the lower part of SC with CAPE around 5000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 We'll be in some degree of drought by next week. By the way, Robert says upstate SC will see very little rain over the next 10 days. GSP has an 80% chance already for Sat, but I think that'll be 20% or less by the time Sat gets here. He also said that the heat will be back in a fairly big way in July. More and more like 1993 all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 It's just dry at the surface here. I think lakes and rivers are still around normal. That's true, thanks to the fact that the mountains continue to get good rain. If they dry out and it stays hot, that'll change soon enough.
