Brick Tamland Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Sitting on the swing in the backyard underneath the trees. The weather today is about as perfect as it gets. Warm but not humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 What a difference a day makes. 24 hours ago we were sweltering in the mid 90's, today it is only 83. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 It's raining. I think. At least there's water droplets falling out of the sky. Not too many of them, though. Is that what rain is? I think I've forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Another dry day. At least it's cloudy, which is about the closest we come to rain these days. 0.03" for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Surprise! Another mcs bites the dust and gives us no rain! 95 currently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Time for a meltdown. A storm just fired a few miles to my west and it will prob just miss me. :axe: :axe: Edit: Just had ten drops of rain. Radar being extremely slow loading as usual when there is a storm nearby, but looks like it will slide just south of me if the clouds and lightning are any indication. SOB!!!

sparklecity Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Gonna be another near miss. Another cell just popped up south of me too. Unfreakingbelievable how I can get so close to storms consistently yet get nothing out of it. I see KSPA currently has a thunderstorm and heavy rain lol. I just give up. Looks like this could be a shetley storm. That particular cell is the one that gave me a few raindrops. Then as soon as it passes me it blows up. Doesn't matter which direction the flow is, but you can almost guarantee something always blows up as it passes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the most rain out of 1 storm since back in April. And now the thing is falling apart as it leaves the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Another storm now to my east. It has now rained a few miles west, south, and east of me today. Meanwhile, I'm still stuck in the dead zone. Somehow mby will find a way to miss all storms this week. Let's see if we can break the record for consecutive days without rainfall. 0.03" in the last 15 days. Last recorded rainfall was 0.03" on July 2 so we stand at 10 days right now. If we can avoid storms this week we could prob push it out to 20 days consecutive without rainfall. After that it's a crap and shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Sunny, dry, and 95°. Pretty much nada on the entire GSP radar. All the awesome severe parameters in the world won't make it rain here in this regime. Not expecting anything tomorrow either. I'm sure there will be something that will fringe me, but I really doubt I will have any measurable rainfall. HRRR says the MCS is going east now too, not that the upstate ever had a shot with it holding its act together. Cape has actually decreased some as the day has gone on.

yotaman Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Great day for rain here. Picked up .71" in about 4 hours of rain here. Temp has held firm at 74, dew point of 73 makes it a bit humid out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Had 3 drops of rain again with the sun out lol. Just took a look at the latest HRRR. Ahead of the 1st MCS a cluster forms just south of me. 1st MCS I'm to far west. 2nd MCS I'm too far east. #winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Huge Surprise! Getting missed by a couple miles same as yesterday as last week as last month as last year. May even be under a mile away. Very close lightning strike and I can see it raining south of me. Yet no rain here. It can't get any closer and not rain here. I'm going to lose it if we don't get rain out of this. Storm is Severe. Let's see if I can pull off another classic severe tstorm warning without any rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 hit 96.6 today. no rain. 0.74" for the month so far. Let's see how this line holds together tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 0.76" total from both storms. A little lower than I thought it would be, but still some very much needed rain. Highlight was the large hail at the end of the first storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
