buckeyefan1 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 HERE ARE THE TOP 10 WARMEST AVERAGE JULY TEMPERATURES ON RECORD in CAE: 1. 86.2 DEGREES IN 1993 2. 86.1 DEGREES IN 1986 3. 85.5 DEGREES IN 2011 4. 85.3 DEGREES IN 2015* 5. 85.0 DEGREES IN 2012 6. 84.4 DEGREES IN 2010 7. 83.9 DEGREES IN 2002 AND 1954 9. 83.8 DEGREES IN 1998 AND 1992 http://www.weather.gov/cae/jul2015ClimateSummary.html On track for another "hottest summer ever" Mp#s is right, Brick. Without Lake Norman and Lake James and Lake Rhodhiss and Lake Hickory and Lake Lookout and Mountain Island Lake and Lake Wylie..., all on the Catawba River, millions of people would not have the necessary access to water to sustain the communities in western NC. Each of those lakes is dam controlled. So, thank you, Duke Energy. Another great thing they have done is provide low residential rates for electricity, compared to the horrific numbers coming out of the Columbia, SC, area (as we were made aware of on this board earlier this summer). You don't even want to know what it is this month The high at CAE was F102 today, averaging F98 for the month, it was F100 at my house. I haven't had an real measurable rainfall since July 2nd. This is the hottest and dryest weather I've ever experience in my life in 4 years in South Carolina, 8 years in Atlanta, and 20 in northeastern Georgia. I know its been warm everywhere on the leeside, but Columbia is just unbearable. People around here who claim that its better than dealing with snow I guess forgot about the rest of the country that has little snow in the winter and much more bearable summertime temps. I've got to go back and count, but I believe that's 18 days above 100 and August has just begun BTW......Only the strong survive here......the portals are no joke I used to have 200 dollar electric bills in Columbia cooling a 700 square foot apartment. Well what do you know, its raining. Thundering with some pretty strong wind gusts. Our chance of rain today???? 0. Wed, Thurs and Friday has looked decent for some hit or miss thunderboomers around the state......well....more like "normal" summertime chances anyway I second that huh Ha yeah...it'd be okay if it was valid. lol It's hot....and I've heard thunder off and on since late this afternoon......not a drop of rain has fallen imby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 More strong tstorms back to my west. Gonna be pissed off if I can't get anything out of these.

jshetley Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 GSP's forecast of 20% isolated pops worked out just fine for the daytime period today in upstate SC and their evening pops are in the ballpark too. I'd tend to think the storms out there now will start to slowly weaken since the sun is setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I have been on GSP's case before, but to be fair, winter weather forecasting is probably the toughest thing to do considering how much 1-2 degrees or even less can make such a big difference. If we had been just that 1-2 degrees or so cooler, that would have been a major snowstorm here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Time to go move the sprinkler again. It won't rain tomorrow either. I knew it was going to happen. No matter how unlikely it looks that I could miss a storm, somehow it always happens. Nevermind the fact N Spartanburg got worked over with another severe storm an hour prior, yet somehow got a second storm to intensify over the same area. I guess my 0.05" earlier was too much to overcome for a 2nd storm lol. Edit: The ground is wet which is about average for tstorms this summer. Watch the line come together again as it clears mby.
