SharonA Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Getting some nice outflow from the approaching Round 2 here on the west side of the Metro. Round 1 gave some strong-but-not-SVR-reportable winds and a bit of rain when it passed over earlier today, and then strengthened considerably and is now sporting a whole collection of warnings for eastern GA. Round 2 is going to be hitting the metro just in time for rush hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Right now I'd be happy with a cooldown outflow boundary so I can go mow. Everything still passing NW and SE of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 0.54". There was a 10 minute period where lightning was popping very close. Weird thing was there wasn't hardly any thunder until the storm was almost past. Def saw rotation on the leading edge of the storm. In one spot the clouds had that distintive counterclockwise swirl going on. Let's see if I can go for round 2 in a little while. Storms starting to fill back into the western upstate.

isohume Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 When I look at the Drought Maps, I can't help but notice that the southern US always seems to have more drought areas than the northern US, paritcularly east of the Rockies. Is the south more prone to droughts for some reason ? Yes. It's because of the general atmospheric circulation. The area around 30-38 degrees latitude is known as the "horse latitudes". It's a relatively dry region created by Hadley/Ferrel cell interactions, which promote strong subtropical ridging and suppressive dynamics. If the GOM wasn't there...we'd pretty much be a desert like the SW CONUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Round 2 weakened before getting here, but still got .15 out of it. I can't complain though, since this gives me .60 for the day, and just over 1.1 since 9pm last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly whats happening here. The rain has let up to a solid moderate pace, but its lightning viciously here. One struck literally about 100 meters from the house.

sparklecity Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Looks like its heading right for mby. Would be nice to get storm #2 and get to the inch mark for the day. Edit: I see KSPA got 1.24" today. They somehow always get larger totals than me. I'm going to tally up the rainfall data from the station near my house and the one from KSPA and see the difference one day when I'm bored. It has to be substantial.

sparklecity Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Looks like storm #2 is going to be a no go. Disintegrating after entering Spartanburg. At least I picked up a half inch. Hopefully I don't have to wait 2 or 3 weeks to get more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
