Precipitable water / moisture content is high. Focus of the heavy rain threat looks to extend thru Sunday night. This is one time when I wish you had been wrong, grit.

griteater Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Well, it looks like Thursday thru Saturday will be a welcome site. More sun than not with highs south and east of the mtns in the 75-85 degree range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Some nice temperature days this week (for summer). Ensembles show the ridge building across the southern 1/3 of the country going into the last week of June which would bring more high heat into the picture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 It's gonna be May all over again! Lows in the 69-73 range, with highs in the mid to upper 80s NW, and generally 90-93 elsewhere. Even hotter weather with a bit lesser chances of PM thunderstorms may develop next weekend, if the upper ridge gets stronger over portions of the SE states, as some of the latest models suggest.

Strengthening ridge over the SE? No way who would have thought that? Models are guaranteed to nail that at long range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel17 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I think my biggest frustration with the "New Normal", so to speak, is that the excessively high dew points every day means that we are nearly 100% of the time above "average" on our lows even when we are near or below normal on our highs.

cbmclean Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Baby steps. From the RAH forecast discussion. Some notable trends have unfolded in the guidance over the past day or so, namely a trend toward a more unsettled weather pattern for especially the first half of the long term, which would in effect limit the excessive heat potential that we are expecting for the mid- week period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 ^^RAH back to the doom and gloom for the 4th: Thu/Thu night: The potential for both thunderstorms and high heat indices remain the biggest weather concerns for the 4th of July. PW will be anomalously high, nearing or perhaps exceeding the daily record, as the weak surface wind field along the Piedmont trough makes for stagnant air, contributing to the stifling heat. Thicknesses are likely to be 10-15 m above normal with deep mixing. While forecast soundings and the steering flow pattern suggest that there should be considerable mid and high cloudiness, a brief capping near 850 mb Thu morning may initially inhibit cu formation, leading to increased insolation. Highs should be in the low-mid 90s, and with expected dewpoints in the low-mid 70s, a heat index ranging from the upper 90s to lower 100s is reasonable. Those outdoors and not taking breaks in air conditioning will need to be mindful of threats posed by heat illnesses in such conditions. The very weak mid level flow featuring multiple hard-to-track perturbations within a very moist column should result in a high pop but with low timing and spatial predictability. Given the precip variation among large scale models, will cap thunderstorm pops at around 50% late in the day through evening (potentially interfering with holiday activities), with a tapering down to lower chance late overnight. I would not be at all surprised to see all models trending even wetter for the 4th in their later runs. And with weak steering, moderate CAPE, and high PW, heavy downpours could produce pockets of high, flooding totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
