RobbyC Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 12 hours ago, Iceagewhereartthou said: Well looks like the forecast has backed off the mid to upper 90s it was showing for the upstate the next couple days, which is fine by me. So far the highest GSP has seen over the past week is 94 and that's the only day I hit 90 IMBY. At 2pm GSP is at 87, I'm at 84.5. Really not terrible for a mid August heat wave. A real heatwave, at least for where I live (in the GSP region) has always been defined by at least a 1 week stretch of 98+ degree days w/ heat indices of at least 105+ on many of them. Mid August 1995, for example, had a whole week where it was in the upper 90's, and it hit 100 twice. Nighttime lows were like only in the mid 70's for most of that week. GSP had come off of a 5th hottest July that year. Third week of August 1983 had a heatwave, and it hit over 100 at GSP 3-4 times. August 2007 had a major heatwave as well with the most 100+ degree days in a month at GSP. Overall, this summer has reminded me a bit of summer 1987 as far as temperatures go.

NorthHillsWx Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Well, well, well, that walking into a wall of humidity feeling opening the door I had so hoped was gone for the year was back with a vengeance this morning in my neck of the woods! Maybe it seems worse as I had fully thought we were done with this type oppressive heat for the summer (why I get my hopes up in August in the south, I will never know). Oh well, looks like today is the peak of it. I think with strong moisture in low levels tomorrow and the front hanging around, cloud cover will certainly be impressive tomorrow and may be the saving grace for a repeat of today, though it will still be in the miserable range. Mid 80's in the forecast have been replaced with 90's through the period. In my experience with southeast weather during these summer patterns, sometimes it takes a tropical system to fully "break" the cycle and pull a front all the way through the area. Otherwise, looks like more of the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, this wasn't a true heat wave for us, at least until today. 97 officially at GSP, hottest day since July 2016. August 07 was unbelievable, and I hope never to see that again! Looks like 92 here for me today, seems a hair low but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Today was supposed to be one of the wetter days of this current stormy period. We're down to a 20% chance of showers/storms now. 86/73 at noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 We went from 90% down to 50% today. Cut my grass just in case. Currently 91/80. yep it is humid out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 0.55" imby from the storm yesterday afternoon and overnight rain. Honestly was expecting more from radar return yesterday but I must have been fringed as we were never really able to keep up the heavy stuff other than a few brief "spurts." Still, anything over 1/2 an inch is a good rain in my book. Mowed my yard twice in last week and half (it had been more than a month since I'd needed to mow it before). Hot outside currently 88 with a lot of humidity. Storm chances have dwindled for the daylight hours today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Good disco in the Aviation forecast. Convective outflow from earlier this morning has held back shower and thunderstorm development so far, but this will likely change soon. A mid-level disturbance can be seen approaching eastern Tennessee on water vapor and this is forecast to help initiate the next round of showers and thunderstorms this evening. An inland moving sea breeze also will serve as a secondary focus for shower and thunderstorm development. Previous guidance had been hinting at the sea breeze moving inland pretty far, but latest guidance has backed off on this. In general this makes sense. A remnant outflow that pushed offshore stabilized central North Carolina this morning. Continued cloud cover over the coastal plain though has made this area the last to destabilize. Overall this will likely hinder the inward progression of the sea breeze. Due to the above, KINT and KGSO are the most likely sites to observe precipitation today. KRWI and KRDU will likely be in between both forcing areas and therefore will be the least likely to observe precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reedski Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Keep missing the rain at my house. Been trying to keep up with watering but it’s just too damn hot. Need a good rain soon. Like the Sahara where the sprinkler is not reaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Strangest thing right now with a thunderstorm. A continuous roar... not a rumble ... of thunder for almost 6 minutes. It sounded like what a military jet hovering directly overhead might sound like. Not exceptionally loud; just the duration amazed me. Moderate rain falling at the moment.

The thunder I heard seemed to last about 15 straight minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
