GaWx Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 2. Southwestern Atlantic Ocean: An area of low pressure could form by the middle part of next week a few hundred miles northeast of the central Bahamas. Some slow development of this system is possible thereafter while the system moves westward or west-northwestward. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent. Forecaster Blake 12Z/18Z GFS/Euro, 12Z UKMET, and 18Z ICON all show something threatening a portion of the coast between FL and SC Thu/Fri. There is moderate support for a WNW moving TD to TS moving ashore among the GFS/EPS members. Go to Tropical thread for more info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 No rain chances here for at least another week. We are in a localized drought. I’m not sure we will even get to 1/2” for the month 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 At least most of y’all had two months worth of rain last month. This is going to be pushing the lowest precip month ever (0.79”) since I’ve lived at my current house (6 years). We have just 0.31” through 18 days.

NorthHillsWx Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 The creek that runs through my neighborhood has almost completely dried up. I have never seen it reduced to a trickle like this before. It’s usually 8-10 yards wide and now you can step over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Invest 92L was designated earlier this evening and is headed WNW/NW toward the SE coast early Fri. I’m extra interested in following this despite pretty low odds of it becoming a TD because it is headed toward (near) my area and may bring some rain late week, regardless. It would be nice if it could bring decent rains to the very dry areas but that’s not looking likely as of now. Here’s the thread for anyone interested: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Not surprisingly, the abnormally dry area in NC has EXPLODED from 4% of the state to 66% of the state just in the last week according this weeks drought monitor! That’s a massive change and I can say that given the infrequent nature of the rains of last month, many areas were already seeing very dry conditions despite not being classified as such. I expect drought conditions to overtake the eastern half of the state by next week and worsen unless we get a tropical system. Pop up showers aren’t going to get it done at this point, and obviously we haven’t even had any of those in 2+ weeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Light W winds found by recon and newest convection appears to be just N of the LLC of Invest 92L. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got my fingers crossed that the dry air and front coming doesn’t completely destroy it. Any rain is good rain and I want to stay in denial of drought for as long as possible 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although technically not in a drought yet here, it's amazing how bone dry the grass has become the last two weeks. La Nina doing La Nina things now after a decently wet spring.

Phelps Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Dewpoints are in the 50s today. I think I'd take this over almost any air temp with DPs in the 70s. (of course that is coming back soon enough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be 0.00 inches IMBY in Cornelius. We are that rain void right on the lake. No rain here in over 3 weeks now. Crunchy grass vibes. My garden does not oblige.

NorthHillsWx Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 It’s getting bad quick with this heatwave on top of it. No rain in April/may is a different animal than a bone dry June or July. 100 degrees on top of ground that hasn’t seen a raindrop in 3+ weeks is brutal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
