Especially when they follow Ninas in a low solar year after a winter with no hail. Plus the total eclipse this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonGA Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 A little attempt at weather humor from FFC this morning: Tonight into Thu will see the development of a wedge which seems appropriate as March "CAD"ness continues for the Carolinas. Also, a question for those who know. I'm showing the eclipse in my area will be 98-99%. Is it worth driving up to Clayton or thereabouts just to make it 100%? How much difference in light will it really be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Thought we had a good chance at snapping our AN temp departure streak with March and for Raleigh it's hanging on by a thread. RDU is officially at -0.5F for the month and the next 3 days should comfortably erase that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely should be a hot, dry summer, if you believe some forecasts coming out of parts of South Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much difference in light will it really be? Yes, it is worth driving to see. You only get the twilight/nightime light during totality. I'm taking the day off from work and driving south to get in the 2+ minutes of totality path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in totality can you look directly at the sun without dark glass and see the corona. Let me ask you something now. Is having sex better than almost having it? Yep, that much difference.

There are many causes. 1. Cop shines flashlight into car window. 2. Your teenage daughter arrives home early. 3. Doorbell rings, it's her mother. 4.

jshetley Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The GFS is very slowly trending drier each run. What looked very wet just a couple of days ago, now looks a good bit drier and I expect to see another 50-75%, if not more, of the precip shawn on today's 12z run to be lost. Nothing I see makes me think about changing my idea that April and May will be very dry over much of the southeast and that summer will be very hot and dry. This pattern isn't going anywhere anytime soon so get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to post the same thing over and over about how dry it's going to be for the next 5 months with no back up once so ever. I don't understand how the mods allow you to keep posting the same nonsensical posts every time. There are a lot of good people on this site and to those I can't thank you enough for your insight and explanations on our weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 The recent wet weather for WNC continues and I see no signs of it backing down. I'm loving this typical spring. Already got over 0.40 inch for today, and I expect another half inch or so overnight. A slow, steady, soaking rainfall. The best kind. Robert's writeup last night was quite encouraging for the foreseeable future.Sent from my 6045O using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only scattered showers east of those 2 counties. Now I'm seeing that gulf coast convection may really cut totals with the next system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
