I can't bitch, we got a good rain the past couple of days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I went walking to that area. There is nothing damaged, not even the young trees. This report was from a trained spotter? Really weird. Maybe someone entered wrong coordinates? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormchaserchuck1 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Maybe that line in the Ohio will hold together and give us a small derecho in the morning? 4 days of rain in the forecast, and not even many clouds in verification.. The global precipitable water was record highest in the Winter and early Spring, so this dry streak really came out of nowhere.. we aren't even breaking the cap unless there is a strong frontal boundary..

mdhokie Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Whew, even out at Deep Creek its hot. I don't remember such sustained heat and humidity out here. Other than part of Wednesday this week has been soupy. I need to buy some property up by Phineas and escape this heat . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck, you're very lucky if your dry streak "came out of nowhere". I have been very dry since May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Tomorrow looks better than today in terms of widespread storms. I haven’t looked closely, but guidance depiction seems disappointing given tons of heat and humidity and a shortwave and surface low to our northwest. Seems like it should be a slam dunk combination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldn't even get it done with a cold front plowing into a 100-105 degree airmass a couple weeks ago. I'm hoping that tropical system coming into the eastern Gulf takes a further west track up the coast than predicted Starting out at 78/72. Today is gonna blaze!

aldie 22 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 The GFS sure seems to be drying up in the near and long term, maybe i'm reading it wrong but it feels like August is shaping up to be just as hot and dry as July was for most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Definitely a better shot at convection further north today, although a sneaky vort max on the southeastern periphery of the ridge could surprise south of I-70 somewhere. Not a great chance, but non-zero. Tomorrow is the best shot at widespread convection. We really could use a convective blob across the region. Fingers crossed I’m ready for fall 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Also did an assessment of my rainfall this year around mi casa. Looks like 27.40” so far this year according to a station very close to me. Jives with the surrounding totals. I’m kind of shocked Northern FDK has had that much. Unfortunately, the totals to my south are not nearly as good Sorry to all my southern FDK/Ballanger Creek peeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 90/81. 81! It's almost painfully hot outside in the sun. Imagine the late Cretaceous where it was like this all the time everywhere. What a time to be alive. I wonder what would happen if we had one or two eruptions like hunga tonga every year over a period of a couple years. Society might break down. I just read that hunga was the equivalent of 100 Hiroshima bombs. The dinosaur asteroid was the equivalent of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. A bad day. That's 100 million hungas going off at once.
