FallsLake Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 You would think that if the air was tropical (humid as heck), it was 91 outside, and it was near the middle of October; you would get some decent thunderstorm activity. Nothing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know Pack left any on the shelves. My summer grass will soon just be called grass. My bermuda is as green as it was back in July. That's one positive too all this, won't have to worry about my bermuda turning brown anytime soon. Sick of the min lows being in the 70's...we should be touching the 40's by now...hopefully by January we will see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Looking on the positive side, we're breaking records: NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 305 PM Monday... Abundant low level moisture will persist through tonight, with a moist flow from the S and SSW. Mechanisms to force ascent are lacking, with the weak post-Nate subsidence still suppressing lift despite MLCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg, most of which appears to be elevated. As such, any showers across central NC this afternoon have been few and far between. The deep layer wind field over the area is, and should remain, very weak, so the risk of deep sustainedconvection appears to be very small. That said, models do depict a subtle mid level perturbation translating from AL/GA to the NE through western and central NC through this evening, and this feature could instigate a more substantial area of showers this evening and into the overnight hours, particularly over the W and NWCWA. Given such a moist column (PW > 200% of normal) and the potential for minor forcing influences to prompt shower development, confidence in the details is lower than usual. This includes QPF, which should be low across the board, although isolated pockets of higher totals are possible. Will maintain high chances for showers, along with an isolated storm or two, areawide through tonight. Based on this morning`s mild lows, have leaned toward persistence and bumped up lows tonight to 73-77. This will threaten record high minimums (see climate section below). We`re also likely to see areas of fog and stratus overnight, and if the fog ends up dominating over the stratus, a dense fog advisory may be needed for portions of central NC tonight. -GIH .CLIMATE... Record high minimums for October 10: RDU: 68 (set in 1959) GSO: 67 (set in 1913) FAY: 72 (set in 1959) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 You can have the record highs, I'll pass. Guys last year was the warmest Fall I remember and this one is looking to give it a run for its money. Meanwhile, Colorado gets winter before we even see fall; NOT FAIR!!! I guess this what it feels like to live in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For specific storms, we will start individual threads as the event draws closer and/or model consensus increases. If you like winter storms, you may want to strongly consider moving back to DC. Immediately. Or you can stay here, and become a very cynical and bitter person within the next 3 years, due to almost always having the warm nose overcome everything. Which is completely fine.

You will get a kick as long as you have a great sense of humor here in this region. I too, just moved down in June 2016 from Loudoun Couty, VA and the first winter was pretty funny. We had a 3/4" snowfall for the season and a few days of below freezing temps. Otherwise expect 40 and rain most of the time. You will do a little better in W-S area at least.

New to this area from DC...so I’m used to the MA forum. SE forum covers way more real estate correct? The thing that will drive you mad about this area is that we can get the "big storm". Or we can go a whole season with almost nothing. Because we can get the big storm, we're all drawn in every winter with dreams of repeats of storms past. In which we've had two foot snows, 8" of sleet (...get use to sleet), and 1.5" ice storms. http://climate.ncsu.edu/climate/winter_wx/database.php?location_county=&StartYear=1969&StartMonth=01&StartDay=1&EndYear=2015&EndMonth=08&EndDay=1&Submit=Submit&page=1 http://www.weather.gov/rah/events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on your exact location you can also experience the bloody cutting edge (rain/sleet/snow line) set-up in these parts and not knowing exactly where that will happen until H-hour sometimes. Enough to drive a man mad indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNC deserved to be crushed, they cheated, but since they let non students cheat the system as well it allows the NCAA to give them a pass....I was thinking maybe they would hit UNC with something when they put out all those tough memo's listing all the wrong doings etc but then again this is the NCAA and well.....this will basically make the NCAA toothless though as UNC has showed everyone else how to keep players eligible without fearing sanctions.

Well, they balanced it out. They announced today that the NC State freshman point guard has to sit down for a year for actually going to a legit class. It all works out on the end when it comes to the NCAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
