gman Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Traveling to St. Peach next week so I wanted to read a detailed forecast discussion from the local NWS. This is all I got. Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 904 AM EDT Fri Jun 15 2018 .FOR THE MORNING UPDATE... High pressure will hold over the Florida peninsula today with weak onshore boundary layer flow. Sea breeze boundary will push inland during the late morning/early afternoon with scattered showers and thunderstorms developing over the coastal counties...with showers/thunderstorms pushing inland and increasing in areal coverage during the mid to late afternoon. Given the weak boundary layer flow, a few outflow boundaries may push back toward the coast during the late afternoon/early evening with a continued chance of showers/thunderstorms across the region. Best chance of rain will be south of the I-4 corridor across the interior peninsula. Shower and thunderstorm activity will gradually dissipate during the evening hours with skies becoming partly cloudy over west central and southwest Florida after midnight. My point with this post? Too often I take for granted the talented folks at GSP NWS. I want to take the time to thank them for their thoroughness in keeping us updated several times a day with detailed information. They are the best in the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Man it's a hot spring day. Just three more days and summer starts...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Happy Summer Solstice everybody! We hit that at 6:07 this morning. Days will slowly start to get shorter from this point forward; but the average temps will continue to climb for another month. **the "oven" temp continues to increase even though the dial is now being slowly turned down. ***you got to get to, and past, equilibrium.

kvegas-wx Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 If avg temps get any hotter than the last 2 weeks we will be looking at a string of hundies with unbearable indexes. Bring on October asap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I got to complain a little; we haven't had much rain in my area. Ground is really dry. Storms seem to stay south and west of the Raleigh area. Crazy how weather patterns get established. Last year we did great whereas others had a moderate drought. I guess it's our turn.

FallsLake Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 The Dog Days of summer: The dog days or dog days of summer are the hot, sultry days of summer. They were historically the period following the heliacal rising of the star Sirius, which Greek and Roman astrology connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, and bad luck. They are now taken to be the hottest, most uncomfortable part of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Humid today in Shenandoah National Park. Hiked Old Rag Mountain with the family. I think that's the most technically challenging hike I've ever done. There's this crazy rock scramble to get to the top, climbing over boulders, through crevasses, and hoping you don't slip in a few places. My kids did it too, with quite a bit of help. 10 miles, 2500-ft elevation gain, and the technical challenge made for an all-day affair on the trail. Glad to be back in the condo relaxing.
