Already starting off with a bang! Ridge breeds drought and drought strengthens ridge! I think we already know how this ends. Record shattering heat this summer will be the headlines.

Iceagewhereartthou Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hard to believe the heat we are looking at for May this weekend! GSP has not hit 90 yet but will do so easily on Friday if not before. GSP has not been higher than 96 since July 25th 2016, but could well surpass that ere the month is out! Not looking forward to this AT ALL! I remember one year back in the mid 90s when a May heat wave reached the mid 90s and ended up being the hottest weather all summer. Would be nice if that happened again here, but something tells me this is gonna be another 2016, 2012, 1993 type of summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Well, guess we are in the boring part of the year with regards to weather here. Looking forward to going to the beach, lake, and amusement parks this summer. But have to hang out at the midwest forum to get my severe weather fix.

Solak Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Brad's touting the Death Ridge. "This (Wednesday) will be the coolest day we're going to see for a long time and I'm not kidding," said chief meteorologist Brad Panovich. "Probably the coolest day we see until Autumn." Good writeup on the upcoming heat. https://www.wcnc.com/article/weather/panovich-death-ridge-will-bring-intense-heat-with-possible-record-highs-to-charlotte-area/275-aed8e0c4-1049-4489-b04a-bac10c9e4199?fbclid=IwAR3Xcq-6PwBL6qDaZRz5ZV6c3nJkKPwNW7YA1uWxdkb4TlCRzc7BUBx4dmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
