NRVwxfan. Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 CAD FTW! Only going to be 90° tomorrow. Today actually didn't feel too bad with a high of 91°. Guess I'm finally getting aclimated to the heat. Only 3 months to go until we get to 1 of the 2 months out of the year where it is pleasant to be outside. I hit 94F IMBY. KCAE hit 99F. This summer can get bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 High today of 91°. Looks like a couple small weak cells have popped up on the southern edge of Spartanburg County in the last hour after a boundary moved through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 95° for the high today with a dp of 70°. Looks like a couple of outflow boundaries are headed north across the upstate. Maybe I'll get lucky and have a storm fire over mby lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Getting a sprinkle but the drops are huge, the radar is showing clutter pretty bad right now and the sprinkle isn't even radar worthy with the clutter washing it out. I live just below the Gr in Greenville http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=MHX&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 88°/73° at KSPA Nearest Weather Station is 90.7°/78° and a heat index of 105° Surprised to see our pops increased to 40% today after reading that discussion yesterday. HRRR does have a nice cluster over Spartanburg later, but who knows where or even if that will happen. Last night it had a cluster over the western tip of the upstate that never materialized anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 All the humidity should help with storms, if it doesn't mix out in the afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Storms firing early today. However, it could be the type that only lasts 10 minutes as one in Spartanburg already blew up and went poof. Really hoping we can get something today so I don't have to start with the watering again. Cape is around 2500 and dcape around 1100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 It's so dry around my house, the kudzu is dying! My Japanese maples are taking on fall color already, due to heat and drought stress! Trees could shed all their leaves , just to survive, as a defense mechanism! This is as bad a stretch of heat and drought, that I've seen , since I've been a homeowner ! When I was in an apartment , I couldn't care less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees could shed all their leaves , just to survive, as a defense mechanism! This is as bad a stretch of heat and drought, that I've seen , since I've been a homeowner ! When I was in an apartment , I couldn't care less Before the rain we had last week, I noticed the oak tree leaves were starting to accumulate on the grass. I've been having to water shrubs, bushes and some of the japanese maples as well. I grew drought dolerant annuals (gazanias and ageraturm) from seed this year, but they still have to have some water. There's a couple small cells in Spartanburg, but we will see if I have broken the curse with last weeks double whammy storm. I'm going to be angry when I have cells dancing around mby all day.

I've already given in to the Shetley mantra: no rain till October , and just move on with life!Apparently , this is normal weather for a summer El Niño ! The analogs fail us in the winter, but are dead on in the summer, when it shows heat and drought pattern! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Sunny and hot here. Currently at 92, dew point at 77. Hope that line west of Raleigh holds up all the way to the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Dark clouds and thunder on the horizon. Just checked radar and it looks like the strongest part is going to miss me to the northeast. There's more storms to my north and west, but I'm sure they will find a way to miss me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
