nwohweather Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Looks like some records are going to fall with this setup. Looks like we may hit 100 each day here in Summerville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbart Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Hopefully this is a temporary hot spell and not the start of a long term death ridge event. I can live with 10 days of hellish temperatures and dry but weeks on end are demoralizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Very early for a heat wave of this magnitude. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come. We need rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpbart Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 If we get enough rain to stay out of drought conditions then I can live with it. (This good because I don't have a choice) Watching everything dry out and die is brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the tough scoring this week at Kiawah was how firm the course is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbart Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 This when being a CoCoRaHS member reporting 0.00" of rain everyday, day after day can get truly demoralizing. Everybody knows we need rain, but when you are recording all of those zeros it really drives the point home. I remember the epic drought of 2002 when wells in the low country went dry and lakes in the upstate were at their lowest possible levels. Essentially the lakes were dry with a trickle at the bottom going through the dam. That was a depressing year. Then a year later drought was gone, it was like whiplash from bone dry to normal plus. I wonder if this year to year behavior is the new normal of a warmer world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCWX Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 My yard is 60% gone. We just got back from being out of town for a week...neighbor was to water it. They didn't. AAARRGGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbart Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Is it too early to get excited that the NWS is starting to talk about rain next week? A significant amount of rain possibly? Am I setting myself up for disappointment and despair yet again? I can't imagine that rain in the forecast now is like snow in the forecast in early december around here. It can happen, right? Yas?

magpiemaniac Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Who else is playing thunderstorm roulette today? I have a 60% chance IMBY. My sprinklers are intended to augment rain, but there’s little point now. I’d have to water all morning to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some scattered blobs moving in from the WSW, but just a half mile can make the difference between a trace and a quarter of an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
