sparklecity Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Congrats. I promise not to beesh for the next week about missing storms after the lucky hit last night. I ran the sprinkler for 4 hours yesterday up until it started pouring rain. Completely unexpected. 90°/63°. Storms in the mountains again and some popcorn in the upstate.

yotaman Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Decent temp and dew points for the middle of August. Currently at 82/69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Storms are nearby again. Prob about 5-10 miles north of me. Dark clouds and thunder right now. Let's see if I can cash in again. Hard to tell what's going to happen because the storms are nearly stationary, but they have generally been dropping south as the day has worn on. Edit: Some pretty good wind gusts with the outflow boundary that moved through. Nothing firing yet but some towers going up right over me. Still very dark to the north. That tower over me just showed up on the last frame. Let's see if it turns into anything decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Looks like I'm going to be just a mile or 2 too far west to get in on this one. It's cooled down nicely though to 79.6°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Crunchy dry. .41" in the past 24 days. Tulip Poplar is shedding. Pine trees are shedding 2 months earlier than normal. Forecast has 'chances' every day next week starting Monday evening. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have not cut the grass since July 1st, and still don't need to! Maybe next week will help turn things around!? Currently 88and dry!

cbmclean Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Yeah, it's rough around here too! Everything just has a dull green look about it, that is the things that aren't dead! I still have not cut the grass since July 1st, and still don't need to! Maybe next week will help turn things around!? Currently 88 and dry! If you take a look at the precip map at http://water.weather.gov/precip, and zoom into eastern NC over the last 90 days, you will see the peak of the dryness is over northern Wilson county (a bit east of Raleigh), which is bsically directly over my house. I just can't win this summer. Most of the stuff that come sin from the Appalachians falls apart before it gets here. I'm too far west for the sea-breeze. When a strong line passes through the whole state, they always seem orientated so that the least wet portion passes over Wilson. I asked this question over in the patter thread but I will mention it here as well. I am not quite sure why it has been so dry here in central NC this summer. We have had some nasty ridges, but nothing too extreme. We have had long periods of mean troughiness, but pop-up showers have been almost nil. Our only rain has been with organized lines coming through, but those only seem to come about once a week, and when they get here they have been mostly drizzle. Anyone else in central NC have the same feeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Maxed out at 93/55 --- Hot (for me, anyways), but not terribly uncomfortable this afternoon. I imagine that will change quickly as the sun drops behind the trees and the humidity starts rising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Feels good to have SW flow again. It's been few and far between this summer. Hope to get the grass cut before any storms get here. Between the isolated storm I got under Friday night and the fertilizer I put out, the grass has really taken off again. Hope we stay out of the NW flow regime for the rest of the summer and avoid any more upper 90's. So ready for some crisp autumn days and football.

Hopefully that's the last of the 90's for a few days. the rest of the summer FYP Those deeper echos moving northward in the slug of precip looks promising. Grass is cut, so hopefully I can get in on some decent rain this evening. Looks like there is a line coming together NE of Atl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
