CherokeeGA Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Had 3 or 4 good showers here this afternoon. They only last 10 or 15 minutes each, but they're quite heavy. One is rolling over us now but I don't see anything else on radar NW so this is probably it for the day. Dunno how much of a dent it will make in deficit but my yard seems happy. My son pointed out yesterday that the hardwoods here are already starting to turn. Maybe about 3-4% of each tree's leaves. Seems early to me, by a few weeks.

Brick Tamland Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Rain lasted about 45 minutes. Sun is out now. I have a hardwood already dropping leaves. Not sure what kind, but it is the same tree that always drops leaves the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They drop early, and are big and yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Probably a poplar tree. They drop early, and are big and yellow The oaks have been dropping leaves sporadically for about a month now. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that blob in NE GA will begin falling apart as it approaches mby. 0.19" total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max100 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Look like a potential "training" effect in Atlanta proper. http://wxweb.meteostar.com/radar/site/FFC.shtml?FFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The flow has went back to almost due west and would not be surprised to see northwest flow and downsloping the rest of the week. It will take a tropical system for sure to get a widespread rainfall from GSP to Charlotte, Columbia and Hickory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flow hasn't gone back west......here is a current radar loop for the SE, do you even look at obs and loops and other sources of data before making your post? http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/southeast_loop.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The south to southwest flow from yesterday is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yeah I love how the exact same areas get rain day after day. Northeast GA is sure making out nicely in this pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Another dry and warm day here today. Currently at 79/73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Same people getting the rain. So freaking frustrating. terrible timing on the last several systems. I was fortunate to pick up over an inch friday night. Otherwise, I would be in full meltdown mode right now. NE GA and the western Upstate has done well this summer in the few wet patterns we have had. East of Greenville the opposite is true. Doesn't seem to matter which direction the flow is, it just won't rain that much in these wet patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how to read model data right.......this is the 850 flow over the SE on the latest GFS run its south of west over the upstate till Friday..... http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=gfs®ion=seus&pkg=z850_vort&runtime=2015081818&fh=54&xpos=0&ypos=187 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need that flow back from yesterday which was south to southwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Rain in the western upstate about to go poof again as it progresses eastward. I'm pretty jealous of those east of CLT right now. Seems like NE GA gets hit, falls apart for the upstate, then east of CLT it reintensifies. Same thing all summer no matter what the flow. I haven't even been able to get under any orange echos at all. Just mostly greens and a couple times light yellows. Pitiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only got a brief sprinkle. You're actually doing better with this one than me. I am so done with this garbage summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'm going to call it Hurricane Danny Ford! Guaranteed to give the upstate rain! All of you guys have gotten more than me. Might have gotten a few hundreths of an inch from early this morning. This SW flow isnt doing squat for me. Only good thing is the temp isnt pushing close to 100.
