cbmclean Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 One thing has me perturbed. A few days ago it looked as if the front was going to stall and we would get several days of elevated rain chances. Now it's going to barrel through in one day. If I miss out on Tuesday, it's dry for another week. I'll be anxious all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this morning's AFD Rainfall amounts in the 1 to 1.5 inch range will be possible during this 12 to 18 hour period, with higher amounts possible in areas that see training or slow moving thunderstorms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Sunday was worst (it got up to 99 here), but Saturday was supposed to top out at 100 and only got up to 95, which was cooler than a lot of days recently, LOL. Also, as I’ve spent the last three summers in Florida, none of this feels all that bad, haha. I’m glad we’re getting more seasonable temperatures the rest of the week, though (a bit below average, actually). 80s feel great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 It's way too early to be worried about cold and snow but what is all this nonsense popping up in my Youtube feeds about August cold, amazing fall snow totals, polar vortexes and the like?? You would think winter starts tomorrow and its going to be epic! I think once I clicked on one video Youtube turned my recommendations into weather weenie central.

calm_days Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 This front will actually stall which will be interesting to watch! Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 1039 PM EDT Mon Jul 29 2019 .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 200 PM Mon: Return flow around the Bermuda High will continue thru midweek. Tuesday night a cold front will push across the Appalachians in conjunction with a well defined upper trough. This warrants a slower than usual decline in diurnal convective chances. However it seems the CAM guidance responds to the relatively high LCLs by depicting little overnight activity. So even though PoPs were allowed to linger into the night, chances are not especially high. That trough effectively will remain in place over the Eastern Seaboard thru the remainder of the period, maintaining better midlevel lapse rates than we normally experience this time of year. Likely PoPs result Wed aftn over the mountains and in a portion of the Piedmont where storms will be able to propagate. Again Wed night, with MCVs potentially rotating thru the upper trough, a small nondiurnal PoP is included in the fcst. Dewpoints recover a little bit Thu compared to Wed, so likely PoPs result in most areas at peak heating that day. Temps overall will be seasonable: slightly above normal Wed but near normal Thu under more cloud cover. Deep layer shear will remain fairly weak despite the trough, so slow-moving storms producing heavy rain will be possible any time they develop during the period. Drier air will be present aloft behind the front on Thursday, with sfc-midlevel delta-theta-e values becoming supportive of a wet microburst threat. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 155 pm Monday: Starting Thursday evening with the 500mb pattern showing a trough over the East and a ridge over the Rockies and western Plains centered over New Mexico. The trough axis Thursday evening will be from Ohio to Alabama. The axis is forecast to shift a little east to being over the Appalachian mountains over the weekend and into early next week. The wind flow is forecast to be less than 10 knots up to 700mb through the medium range. The stationary front over our region will continue to slowly dissipate. A tropical wave that is currently over the eastern Caribbean Sea is forecast to move to somewhere near Florida over the weekend and would contribute to the amount of moisture over the Southeast. If this system were to track more directly over our area, we could get quite a bit of rain. Too early to say at this point as the system has not yet formed into an organized low pressure. This extended period of wet weather could add up to a saturated ground in some areas. The GFS and ECMWF diverge a bit toward the middle of next week as the GFS brings a closed low SE toward the Great Lakes. This would further serve to reinforce the longwave trough. The EC has the trough lifting some as the western ridge builds a little more east. Max temperatures will be 3 to 5 degrees below normal due to the cloud cover and Min Temps will be near normal.

After witnessing over 160 inches of snow last two winters, adjusting back to North Carolina winters will be very difficult. Not thrilled about living in area with 6"/year snowfall average rather than 60"/year. I'll miss having snow depth of over 6" for three months straight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i saw that: it might be fixed now with the most recent update. What seemed to have happened was that the new updates were accessible through the 2, 3, or 4 clickable number links depending on where they ended up each time, which would normally contain just-prior updates)! It may have been that the Wednesday update was stuck at 1, causing new updates to be placed behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinstonSalemArlington Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Pattern over the next 10 days shows frequent troughs coming down from Canada...but unlike this spring, there won’t be much of a gradient south for widespread rainfall risks, more scattered with many staying drier.

Usually see this first notch of a cooldown second half or last week of August. This is the time of year I get really restless for fall, even though theres still a few weeks to go.

kvegas-wx Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Daily Hi/Lo averages across the triad and most of the carolinas dont really fall much in August. September is the cliff. Drops from mid 80's down to low 70's for Highs and down into the low 50' for lows. So not much relief....yet. But certainly a pause from 90's for many.
