yotaman Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Just got back from a camping trip in Damascus Va. for the annual Trail Days celebration. Woke up this morning to a crisp 39 with a wind chill probably in the upper 20's. Back home currently sitting at 61. Love this cool weather.

FallsLake Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Got down to 41.5 at the house this morning. There are pockets of upper 30s around. We need to enjoy each cool spell we get this late spring. We all know (usually) when it does flip to hot it stays there until September. **So far I've only ran the AC three time; and that was basically to get rid of humidity.

downeastnc Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Was 43 on my porch but only 45 at PGV usually its the other way around with PGV being 3-5 degrees colder on good radiation cooling nights..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 47 at my house this morning. Actually wore a jacket when I walked the dogs at 8 am. Very pleasent day today. Wish the rest of May could see temps like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 It got down to 68 this morning here. The cooler air never made it down this far south, so we've been stuck with mid-summer temps. Looks like we may at least get some rain tomorrow, which would be welcome, though it looks like highs near 90 and lows near 70 should continue to occur for the foreseeable future.

Brick Tamland Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Sounds like boring rain today. NEAR TERM /through tonight/...As of 330 AM Tuesday...Strong low-level warm moist air advection, on the western peripheryof the retreating high over the Western Atlantic will surgenorthward in an arch across the western Piedmont of NC and intocentral/eastern VA through the afternoon. This will support highestrain chances across the NW piedmont this morning with elevatedshowers spreading eastward into the central/eastern piedmont bymidday and then into the northern/central Coastal Plain by theafternoon, during which time additional forcing in the form of weakupper level disturbances moving atop a northward retreating warmfront will support surface base convection amidst weakdestabilization of 500-1000 j/kg of SBCAPE. While 30 to 40kts ofbulk shear is more than sufficient, weak instability along with weaklapse rates aloft will limit severe threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Sounds like boring rain today. NEAR TERM /through tonight/... As of 330 AM Tuesday... Strong low-level warm moist air advection, on the western periphery of the retreating high over the Western Atlantic will surge northward in an arch across the western Piedmont of NC and into central/eastern VA through the afternoon. This will support highest rain chances across the NW piedmont this morning with elevated showers spreading eastward into the central/eastern piedmont by midday and then into the northern/central Coastal Plain by the afternoon, during which time additional forcing in the form of weak upper level disturbances moving atop a northward retreating warm front will support surface base convection amidst weak destabilization of 500-1000 j/kg of SBCAPE. While 30 to 40kts of bulk shear is more than sufficient, weak instability along with weak lapse rates aloft will limit severe threat. Is that anything like plain rain?

jshetley Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 The circled area can not buy a good rain. Only a trace here and radar looks awful. So much for this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 The circled area can not buy a good rain. Only a trace here and radar looks awful. So much for this event. MBY is just outside your circled area, below the K where Lexington co and Calhoun co meet up. I have had 15 drops of rain today.

Solak Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Certainly wasn't boring driving in that monsoon just now all the way from near PNC Arena into Clayton. Soon as I got my wife inside and settled, it started getting to us here. I-40, Tryon Road and 70 were ponding up really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 The circled area can not buy a good rain. Only a trace here and radar looks awful. So much for this event. I got a few sprinkles. I thought the simulated forecast was odd that it was going to develop north of us, then south of us. Sure enough, that's what it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
