All Activity

Disgusting outside. Every article of clothing stuck. Sweating dripping everywhere. Can’t hold on to the golf club. Where’s the dry heat?

0.53 in Fuquay Varina. Grass really needed it! 80.4 the high so far. Thanks to sun the last hour.

SPC has NYC square in the center of slight risk tomorrow. 12z NAM has a line coming through around 7pm.

Don't know if anyone noticed or if it's been posted previously, but cyclonicwx.com now offers some decent OISST worldwide SST and SSTA graphs for the last 10 years that make for easy reference with each area broken down separately. https://cyclonicwx.com/sst/ Click on "OISST" in the banner near the top.

Not entirely shocked at the slight risk designation. We've had some worse setups get a slight risk designation That is a really well-defined s/w trough moving into the region with good height fields and increasing dynamics with cooling aloft. I would be shocked if storms aren't numerous tomorrow and evolve into multiple short-line segments or clusters

Had a few rumbles in January? February? but nothing since then. Yesterday was just intermittent light rain over 12+ hours. Want a nice gully washer. 1 or 2 inches in 30 minutes type of storm!!

Like last night? I wasn't expecting anything yesterday and the minute I walked outside with the dog the skies opened up and heard a loud boom, dog went back in quickly.

Let's dew it. Doesn't have to be severe imby. Just some good heavy rainers with a few rumbles would be great.

If this Euro-esque solution were to take place, this would set up a mega torch for the NP-Lakes-OV-NE. ...basically everywhere over the c-eastern mid latitude continent.

Boom... I guess it was kind of easy call but we are teasing out the risk a bit more from SPC. It's just that I'm big on mid level lapse rates for our climo. when I see diving cool pool aloft, arriving over an antecedent warm lower troposphere... it's basic cake batter. We get the big tors and very large hail, rarely. what get more frequent in wind and nickle hail enough to snap timber.

I was probably right behind you. It got wild when the whiteout of wind driven rain hit. It looked blue outside due to the extreme rainfall. It definitely gave me hurricane chase video vibes. The lightning was also wild.

Clouds have been pretty stubborn lately. Tomorrow through Monday looks nice. After that, looks questionable

SPC has decided to tease the setup a bit more!

Models look very meh for tomorrow. Maybe a few storms get going I guess

Looks like a chance tomorrow.

Im 81/72, dewey again, was nice this morning.

Almost as brutal as the 11/12 winter for those who like snow and cold.

maybe!

It’s a bit of a radar hole but we nickel and dimed our way to 0.32” which is enough to water the yard for the first time in almost 2 weeks

Any severe?

83/59 here. Nice summer day.

Just mowed. Not as hot but verrrry humid. “Only” 80°.

83 / 70 now partly cloudy

Also for history buffs the severe 1901 and 1911 heat waves were nearing peak intensity. They were both comparable to 1966 in regional impacts. 1901 set records in the brief NYC data to that time for four days including June 30 to July 2, and still holds the last two (sharing today with 1966). A record 95F on June 30 was tied in 1933, broken in 1945 (97F) and that was again broken in 1964 (99F). The 1911 heat wave was well into the 100s in a lot of places, NYC must have been somewhat reduced by sea breezes because its highest values were near 100F. Toronto had 103F on July 3, 1911. The NYC data show records set on July 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 and 11, but none survived, broken by 1966, 1919, 1919, 1999, 1936 and 1988. Despite the smaller urban heat island, these heat waves had some stifling warm nights. For July 1, 1901 the record set was 78F not surpassed until 79F in 2018. For July 2, 1901 the record set (82F) still stands for the date. In 1911 the minima were all near 77F and were not daily records even then but there was little relief for ten days of heat. The 1966 heat wave(s) broke or tied five daily maxima, and did not set any high minima although four readings were 1F lower than existing records, some of which have since been broken. These were all in the high 70s. Even the 1936 heat wave did not set any daily records for high minima but when it only drops to high 70s after mid-100s, that isn't enough time to ventilate scorching interiors without A/C. Further inland the 1936 heat wave was more prolonged and had even worse overnight conditions, Toronto had lows close to 80F during it and had three consecutive 105F readings (July 8 to 10). Even in southern Manitoba and northwestern Ontario the 1936 heat wave had readings near 110F and overnight lows above 80F. Of course in North Dakota it was close to 120F in that unprecedented event. Western Canada returned to the same level of heat the next summer but that 1937 heat was somewhat modified when it spread east (even so it hit 100F in NYC).

Cooler than I expected so far today 78F for the high. Was hoping for mid 80s Stupid clouds
