sparklecity Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 3rd day in a row with no rain It's been raining here just about everyday courtesy of Spartanburg Water System. I'm going to drop Lake Blalock enough to get us in the drought category by next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Today is the 4th day in a row of late day SAV area thunderstorms. Like yesterday's, today's aren't severe so far. However, the rain is heavy and a good amount of CTG lightning is there. They have the look of being seabreeze related and are very slow moving. We could easily already be within the 4-5" range for total rainfall since 7/4 for areas around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Just had a 30 second sprinkle.... seriously! If I was going to only use the rain gauge for tomorrow's report, I'd be reporting 0.00". Whatever fell wasn't even enough to drip down in the funnel, and it's already evaporated! I was out in it, though, and felt it, so it looks like a "T" tomorrow. #WINNING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think the last decent rain I had was during the peak of the last heat wave when we had no chance of pops. Storm blew off the mountains and made it to me before it fell apart. Picked up 2 or 3 tenths from it. Maybe I can get lucky again during this next heat wave and get something unexpected to at least hold us off from getting even worse at the surface.

UNCCmetgrad Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Driving over the headwaters of Lake Wylie and it looked down for the first time this summer. Duke Energy does lower lake levels around the area in anticipation of tropical season but I believe they don't do this until sometime in August. Was on Lake Wateree in SC on the 4th and it looked to be pretty much full pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Looks like the upstate may at least have a shot at seeing some rain today. GSP bumped us to 30% owing to SW flow and a lee trough. First cell of the day has popped up in NE GA and is moving due east. sbcape: 1500 mucape: <2000 dcape: 1000-1100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I wouldn't put up the hose I can feel it, today is finally my day for something good.......or maybe that is my fried chicken tenders I smell. Either way water will rain down in mby one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 It's hot! GSP has officially recieved .10 for the month so far. I expect that won't change in the next 7-10 days! Raging El Niño sucks! Best summer ever! 93 reduh! SOS: summer of Shetley ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 GSP has more than 3 times the amount of rain I have received this month. That sounds a lot worse until you realize we are dealing in hundredths of an inch lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Looks like the best storms are setting up from around Asheville and moving SE. As is, it looks like the best activity will slide north of me unless there is some new development further west. Edit: There we go, more development further west in the latest frames. Gotta keep that going and maybe it will actually rain here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Looks like all the good stuff is staying north of the border. Only thing in Spartanburg County is some popcorn showers that last about 5 minutes then dissipate. Oh well, there is always next week, or more like next month. Edit: Now it drops down as soon as it is east of me lol. Too far east last week, too far west today. Just another typical day in the desert.

sparklecity Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Only storm mby has a shot with has now stalled out nw of Spartanburg and is severe. At this rate we will lose our heating before it moves towards us. Unbelievable how I'm always on the fringe of storms whether it be east or west. Edit: Storm still firmly anchored in place. It hasn't moved in an hour. What is causing this storm to anchor while all the others are moving? Back to 5 minutes pop ups and poof. Looks like another fail for mby.

Brick Tamland Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Yeah, just posted on the severe thread this seems to be the only way I get good storms this year, when there is no watch and not much talk of them, and they are very isolated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Cloudy, dry, hot, and humid today. Hit a high of 92, dew point hit a high of 81. Miserable day. Currently at 81, dew point still at 77 and it's almost 10pm. Blah, I hate summers here in NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 0.00" and 0.03" for the month. 18z GFS seems to think it's going to rain next week. I think the GFS is in a delusional state again similar to its state a few days ago when it said it was going to be 106° here. I think I've almost caught up watering the grass for at least a day or 2 besides the few spots that have gone dormant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
